Hey, why’s there no reference to the MC2 backup story in Spider-Island solicit?
Is that the RYV Spider-Man in the Secret Wars #7 cover?
@8: The other dude in the 616 suit is the ’70s Nicholas Hammond TV version.
@#9 Jeff Gutman — Fixed it for you, Jeff. Thanks for letting me know.
Mods. My comment has ended up in the spam filter… AGAIN. Can you please fix?
A few thoughts:
Renew Your Vows #5: (Five?!? I could swear this was supposed to be a four parter) I can’t believe how unbelievably stupid Annie Parker’s costume looks. It’s ridiculous.
Secret Wars #7: Has anyone here taken the time to look at the cover? I count at least 5 or 6 different iterations of Spider-man – two wearing the typical 616 suit, scarlet spider, Miles Morales, Japanese Spider-man (you can tell from his gi-normous webshooter that he uses to call Spider-machine GP-7), and someother Spider-ish thing in the lower left that resembles Spidey 2099. So TWO different guys wearing the 616 suit? Hmmm….
Also, what the heck is Forbush man doing in the fight? Captain America from Marvel zombies? I do believe that is the Lou Ferrigno Hulk in the lower right. This cover is… completely insane.
@3: The variant cover in the solicits is Nick Bradshaw’s.
@6: True Believers Spider-Woman #1 reprints Spider-Woman #5 which features her new costume. Her new costume is also in the All New All Different Marvel promo.
Jessica’s in her old costume again now? Wow, that lasted a whole 6 months.
I’d like to find out more? I’d care to find out more details.
On a side note, I do enjoy how Marvel made a bit announcement about how EIGHT NEW TITLES are being launched in September at the conclusion of Secret Wars, which was a promise they managed to keep for TWO WHOLE WEEKS!
I’m guessing “All New Marvel” which was advertised for pretty much almost a year has been pushed back to October.
@#2-Wasn’t it supposed to be 4 originally?
I dunno how to feel about the Quesada variant? Cos it looks great but…it’s Quesada so…
I wonder if Renew Your Vows is going to be five issues or six.
Spider-Island is still one issue away from completion, and Secret Wars is supposed to be over in September. But both have one more issue to go.
“Avengers: No More Bullying”
Civil War II? 😎
