Ironically, I posted this under the July solicitations, but thought I was on the August post.
@hornacek
Thanks. For some reason I wasn’t seeing it before.
@Jason – the solicits for August were just posted on the home page today, approx. 1 month after the July solicits were posted. So these appear to be done monthly here.
Is this something we can see on a monthly basis? It helps keep me up to date on what’s coming out Spidey-wise, but I don’t see it posted each month.
I just hate when something is spelled backwards of its opposite and the writer thinks they’re being clever, when it’s really not.
@hornacek — Or Alucard as Dracula’s son in Castlevania III. That’s a very powerful Miles Morales cover, though.
Hopefully, Mark Bagley does the art for Sinister War issue #3 and #4 too
Still no news about a new venom ongoing. I’m worried now.
Wait a minute …
Miles’ clone is named … Selim?!?
This is like Troll 2 where the town is named “Nilbog” (Goblin spelled backwards, because the town is infested with goblins).
