Amazing Spider-Man
Minimum Carnage???? I FRIGGIN LOVE IT!!!!

Minimum Carnage...freaking awesome.

Space: Punisher...I'm so there. Loved Frankencastle so this sounds awesome.

It damn well better be like adventures of like a miniaturized Carnage loose in someone's body or else the Carnage symbiote takes over one of the infants or small children in the current mini to escape and it's mini Carnage! lol.

Tieri is certainly hit and miss. Hopefully this is more hit than miss. Sounds interesting at least.

"X-Treme X-Men" spins out of Greg Pak's "Astonishing X-Men" run, and features writing by Pak with art by Steven Segovia.

"Greg specifically wanted me to tell you Dazzler is at the center of this book," said Brevoort.

I guess we have our answers.

Oh, and I'm not sure how I feel about Carol's new hairdo.

And oh, Brevoort confirmed that there won't be a reboot

Edit: Never mind, I didn't realize that both Carol and X-Treme are already being discussed in their respective news threads, lol

Next Big Thing

Hightlights:

Gischler is off X-Men. Brian Wood is on, team will include Storm, Domino, Colossus, Psylocke, and Pixie among others perhaps.

Spencer is off Ultimate X-Men with issue #12, Brian Wood takes over from there.

Red Hulk takes on the Mayan world ending prophecy alongside Alpha Flight and Machine Man! (That looks awesome)

Sam Humphries, the new co-writer of Ultimates, takes over fully alone this July.

Big plans for Cosmic coming by end of year or start of next, mention of 'Guardian' stuff to come.

Thunderbolts becomes Dark Avengers with issue #175, with Luke Cage leading the Dark Avengers. Cover seems to include Ragnarok, Skaar, and the guy pretending to be Spider-Man (can't recall his name)

Asked about the fate of Thunderbolts with this change to Dark Avengers, Brevoort said it doesn't necessarily indicate the end of Thunderbolts but does indicate something for the team perhaps.

Ok Brian Woods is really moving in fast. Im really glad Domino isnt going any where. Pixie is a nice addition, although i worry that with Gischler gone that might mean no more Jubilee. Gischler has really had the best time with her and i hate to see her carted off into Limbo after so much focus.

Parker is one of my favorite writers, im glad hos Hulk title is still going strong. Interesting choice of changing Thunderbolts. He said recently that he's been building towards something so i can't wait to see the transition. And yes Alpha Flight, A-Bomb, Machine Man and Red Hulk looks so cool together. Very 80s vibe to it

Originally posted by UncannyScott Jubilee is gone from the title. Wood revealed in an interview about his two new titles that editorial mandated her removal from the title with his taking over. He chose to dump Warpath on his own. Wood Interview

Hmmm...I wonder does that mean their is something else planned for Jubilee...shame he chose to dump Warpath LOL

Poor Warpath, writers in the last few years keep bringing him back to use but soon as they are gone back to limbo he goes lol. The only shame is that with him and Jubilee gone this book is back to mostly characters that are already in other books except Domino and Pixie. Would be quite the time to pick up other characters that are on Utopia but I don't think the writers are interested in them.

Its going to be interesting to see what roster of Alpha Flight Parker will use.


Cool that Gage's focus is on X-23, Dust, and Surge. I hope we get a Hercules vs Sebastian Shaw fight.

Since I don't read Ultimates, I have to ask, is anyone excited about Kitty taking center stage in that book? And about the writer change on Ultimates?

While I wouldn't mind a David written Warpath. That would mean: Polaris, Havok, M, Banshee, Layla, Madrox, Longshot, Strong Guy, Rictor, Shatterstar, Pip (?), and Warpath? Even David would have a hard time giving everyone some talking space lol.

Well Kitty being center spot on Ultimate X-Men isn't a big change, as Wood mentioned in the interview she started out as the spotlight really for the book under Spencer it's just been a few months without her or the other cast there with the focus on other characters.

The writer change for Ultimates is harder to comment on as he hasn't started co-writing yet. Then again that will still be hard to tell with since Hickman will still be there till July. Humphries has said before that he'll still be working off of Hickman plots somewhat just changing them a bit to fit his style. Never read anything from him, not even sure what he has written.
