June 2017 Spider-Solicitations with JH Commentary

Here comes June 2018 and with it the Dora Milaje, Slott’s swan song and no more Miles?! Let’s dive right in! 

WAKANDA FOREVER: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1
Nnedi Okorafor (W) • ALBERTO JIMÉNEZ ALBURQUERQUE (A)
Cover by Terry Dodson
CONNECTING VARIANT COVER BY TBA (1 OF 3)
PART ONE OF A THREE-PART STORY THAT SEES THE DORA MILAJE TEAM UP WITH THE MARVEL U!
The blockbuster Black Panther film has everyone talking about Wakanda’s best warriors, the fierce Dora Milaje! Now witness the Dora outside of Wakanda – and in Spider-Man’s world! When the Dora catch wind of a Wakandan threat causing trouble in New York, they’ll leap into action – with or without their king. Don’t miss Okoye, Ayo and Aneka on a globe-trotting mission to protect the realm at any cost. WAKANDA FOREVER starts here!
40 PGS./ one-shot /Rated T …$4.99

Comments: Whilst I loved Black Panther and glad to be seeing the Dora Milaje branch out beyond Wakanda, the $5 price tag puts me off from what I know will be a largely inconsequential story. If Marvel wants to push some of its quirkier ideas, it would be best to push down the prices. Otherwise we’re likely to pass on a story featuring some phenomenal up-and-coming characters.

HUNT FOR WOLVERINE: ADAMANTIUM AGENDA #2 (of 4)
TOM TAYLOR (W) • R.B. SILVA (A)
Cover by GREG LAND VARIANT COVER BY R.B. SILVA
THE ORIGINAL NEW AVENGERS ARE JOINED BY A NEW ALLY!
• After the explosive events of the last issue, will our heroes be able to recover?
• TONY STARK has been keeping a secret, and it’s about to catch up to him…
• The trail leads to one of the X-MEN’S greatest foes!!!!
32 PGS./Parental Advisory …$3.99

Comments: It’ll take you picking up 16 comics across 4 miniseries to understand the full story of Wolverine’s resurrection? Is that worth it?

 

No. The answer’s no.

INFINITY COUNTDOWN: CHAMPIONS #1 (OF 2)
JIM ZUB (W) • EMILIO LAISO (A)
Cover by CLAYTON CRAIN
VARIANT COVER BY MIKE DEODATO JR.
Spinning out from the fallout of the battle for the Power Stone in the pages of Infinity Countdown!
The Champions head to space to save the Nova Corps and stop Warbringer, but other forces are moving against them… These young heroes are in for the fight of their lives!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

Comments: As events go, I am loving Infinity Countdown right now!  Ignoring the obvious cash-grab to coincide with Infinity War, this series has been delightfully fun, covering a broad range of cosmic heroes. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I’d strongly recommend it. So although this is some fluffy tie-in, I’ll definitely be picking it up. I mean, we’ve got to get our Miles fix from somewhere, now his book is on hiatus.

CHAMPIONS #21
JIM ZUB (W) • SEAN IZAAKSE (A)
Cover by STEFANO CASELLI
• The Champions vs. Alpha Flight? Ms. Marvel vs. Captain Marvel?
• ’Nuff said!
• Saving the north just got a whole lot more complicated…
• Plus…Nova no more?!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

Comments: I imagine this fight won’t really go anywhere, as most inter-team fights tend to pan out, but it’s always cool to see Ms. Marvel throw down with her former mentor.

PETER PARKER: THE SPECTACULARSPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #1
CHIP ZDARSKY (W) • MIKE ALLRED (A/C)
VARIANT COVER BY JAVIER GARRON
• J. JONAH JAMESON is armed with one of the world’s greatest secrets: the identity of SPIDER-MAN!
• Now SPIDEY has to suffer the consequences as JONAH infiltrates his life!
• But JONAH’s past threatens to unravel everything as he fights for his life against … THE JONAH SLAYER!
• PLUS – A special short story by MIKE DRUCKER (TV’s Full Frontal) and CHRIS BACHALO (DOCTOR STRANGE, SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL)!
40 PGS./Rated T+ …$4.99

Comments: Allred is a strong bet for my favourite artist. The guy’s style is remisncent of 1960s pop art, a bit of Andy Warhol, a bit of Jack Kirby. Seriously, go check out his stuff on Silver Surfer or iZOMBIE, you won’t regret it!

PETER PARKER: THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #305
CHIP ZDARSKY (W)
ADAM KUBERT (A/C)
• In a world without SPIDER-MAN, NORMAN OSBORN reigns supreme!
• Can Peter trust one of history’s greatest villains to set things right?
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

PETER PARKER: THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #306
CHIP ZDARSKY (W)
ADAM KUBERT (A/C)
• Having traveled through space and time, there’s one thing left for SPIDEY to do: • Stop THE VEDOMI, a universal collective of artificial intelligences, from destroying all human life!
• Can he do it? And even if he can, what will it cost?!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

Comments: Zdarsky is taking Spider-Man out of his friendly neighborhood, which usually goes great or awful. Usually awful. Actually, almost always awful. But I remain optimistic.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: RENEW YOUR VOWS #20
JODY HOUSER (W) • SCOTT KOBLISH (A)
Cover by RYAN STEGMAN
WEIRD SCIENCE STARTS NOW!
Something Sinister the Spider family’s way comes…
32 PGS./Rated T …$3.99

Comments: Not the sort of ‘Sinister’ I associate with Spider-Man, but I can live with it.

SPIDER-GWEN #33
JASON LATOUR (W)
ROBBI RODRIGUEZ (A/C)
THE LIFE OF GWEN STACY Part 4
• The secret identity of Earth-65’s Spider-Woman stands revealed…
• …and now her alter-ego, Gwen Stacy, must stand trial!
32 PGS./Rated T …$3.99

Comments: TOO MANY SPOILERS IN THESE SOLICITS! How great would it have been if we hadn’t known the end to Gwenom? Come on, Marvel!

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #801
DAN SLOTT (W) • MARCOS MARTIN (A)
Cover by ALEX ROSS
YOUNG GUNS VARIANT COVER BY RUSSELL DAUTERMAN
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 801 RAMOS CONNECTING VARIANT*
After ten years, Dan Slott’s final issue of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN is here, and he isn’t pulling any punches. Joined by one of the best illustrators in the biz, Marcos Martin, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #801 is one of the most emotional, heartfelt tales not only in Dan’s run, but in all of Mighty Marveldom itself, and is one Marvel fans around the world won’t want to miss.
32 PGS./Rated T …$3.99

Comments: Farewell, Slott. You’ve had your ups, your downs, your Twitter rants, your unforgettable stories, your forgettable stories and blatant rip-offs of beloved British science-fiction television. From me to you, Slott, all the best. You will be missed.

VENOM #2
DONNY CATES (W) • RYAN STEGMAN (A/C)
VARIANT COVER BY TBA
YOUNG GUNS VARIANT COVER BY MIKE DEL MUNDO
REX PART 2 & 3 FROM DONNY CATES AND RYAN STEGMAN!
• Long ago, a mythical monster once terrorized both humanity and the Klyntar alike. Now, it’s awake. And it’s angry.
• To make matters worse, this ancient horror has a unique influence over the Venom symbiote – an influence that threatens to sever Eddie Brock’s connection with his Other!
• If he survived the first issue, that is…
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

VENOM #3
DONNY CATES (W) • RYAN STEGMAN (A/C)
VARIANT COVER BY TBA
• Still recovering from his injuries, Eddie Brock – the Wicked Web-Slinger known as VENOM – has to defend NYC against the most powerful foe he’s ever faced!
• The only thing standing in his way? Miles Morales…SPIDER-MAN!
• Though Eddie and the symbiote have no qualms with this particular web-slinger, the same can’t be said for Miles’ feelings about Venom…
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

Comments: Miles vs. Venom? For a month with no Miles-centric book, he sure is popping up a lot. I’m still not quite sure how much of the Ultimate Universe Miles remembers but it seems like he’s brought his hatred for Venom with him to 616. This should be a fight to remember.

BEN REILLY: SCARLET SPIDER #19
PETER DAVID (W)
ANDRE LIMA ARAUJO (A)
Cover by KHARY RANDOLPH
• Sorceress MISTY BECK has uncovered a demonic artifact of unbelievable power and made an entire casino disappear for access to it!
• This isn’t the cheap parlor trick of a two-bit magician, folks, Misty’s the real deal, and only the SCARLET SPIDER and the Slinger DUSK stand in her way!
• Will Misty’s nefarious scheme return her father MYSTERIO back to his old tricks, or will an even worse fate befall the father and daughter?
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

BEN REILLY: SCARLET SPIDER #20
PETER DAVID (W) • WILL SLINEY (A)
Cover by KHARY RANDOLPH
• With Vegas restored, things are finally looking up for Ben Reilly…but he’s not out of the woods yet.
• Weeks ago, Mistress Death appeared to Ben and made a promise. If he dies and is cloned even one more time, his soul will be permanently fractured, with no chance for redemption.
• This issue sets Ben on a path that may seal his fate for good…
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

Comments: It looks like following on from Damnation, Scarlet Spider is going full mystic. I dig that.

SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL #34
ROBBIE THOMPSON (W) • SCOTT HEPBURN (A/C)
• It’s the Planet of the ’Pools!
• What dark technology from the secret recesses of S.H.I.E.L.D. history powers these LMD-eadpools?
• To defeat the Faux-pool who took his ability to walk, Old Man Parker will have to make a decision that alters his future AND our present!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

Comments: Still funny, check it out if you haven’t already.

OLD MAN HAWKEYE #6 (of 12)
ETHAN SACKS (W) • MARCO CHECCHETTO (A/C)
AN EYE FOR AN EYE Part 6
• The MADROX VENOMS vs. HAWKEYE in a battle for the ages!
• But how can Hawkeye and his RELUCTANT NEW PARTNER defeat a Venom that can multiply?!
• Don’t miss this pivotal turning point in the archer’s quest!
32 PGS./Parental Advisory …$3.99

Comments: How has Venom + Multiple Man not been a thing before now?

OLD MAN LOGAN #41
ED BRISSON (W)
FRANCESCO MANNA (A)
Cover by MIKE DEODATO JR.
KRAVEN’S HUNT FOR LOGAN !
It’s a showdown in the Savage Land! Will Logan be able to outwit Kraven, Marvel’s greatest hunter? And what’s behind Kraven’s obsession with killing Logan?
32 PGS./Parental Advisory …$3.99

OLD MAN LOGAN #42
ED BRISSON (W)
FRANCESCO MANNA (A)
Cover by MIKE DEODATO JR.
• The once savage killer, LOGAN, is wounded and on the run in the SAVAGE LAND!
• In which trophy room will KRAVEN hang Logan’s head?
• With unrelenting death around every corner, rock, mountain and tree, how long can the tired old Logan keep this up?
32 PGS./Parental Advisory …$3.99

Comments: Slott said in a recent interview that he never used Kraven because in his head-canon, the hunter’s story ended with Kraven’s Last Hunt. This is an interesting tidbit that explains why he pops up so much in satellite titles, such as this one.

MARVEL RISING: ALPHA #1
DEVIN GRAYSON (W) • MARCO FAILLA (A)
Cover by GURIHIRU
CONNECTING VARIANT COVER BY RIAN GONZALES (1 OF 4)
VARIANT COVER BY STACY LEE
This summer, SQUIRREL GIRL meets MS. MARVEL – for the very first time! When Doreen Green (also known as the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl) volunteers as head counselor for an extracurricular computer programming class, little does she know that junior counselor Kamala Khan moonlights as crimefighting super hero Ms. Marvel! But this coding configuration is more than just ones and zeros when a mysterious new super villain shows her face! Will our heroes be able to save the day without blowing their secret identities? Join Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl (with some special guest appearances) as they learn what it truly takes to become the next generation of Marvel heroes!
40 PGS./ONE-SHOT/Rated T+ …$4.99

Comments: I’m always welcome to Marvel opening up superheroes to a younger audience and I think it’s a great idea that they’re promoting some of the more diverse heroes. Having a female-led team that is not exclusively women is also a refreshing change and I believe it to be more representative of feminism than teams like A-Force.
