I just noticed Cable has an eyepatch, but over the non-flashing eye. What's up with that?

...BWHAHAHAHAHA. Holy shit, that's 2x the stupid.

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

They couldn't name it Cable and the X-Force, following WatXM theme?

Oddly in the interview they actually do while thats not in the actual title. The abbreviation to CatXF amuses me greatly though.

Why would he cover the cyberneticaly enhanced eye

 

[kswiston]

Why would he cover the cyberneticaly enhanced eye

I thought he lost all his cybernetic parts in that mini-series leading into AvX. Forge was probably too busy coming back from the dead to make him a replacement. Maybe that is also why Cable decided to strap on a goofy sentinel arm.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Don't question it. It just looks C.O.O.L. #xtreme

I didnt read that mini but id assume that if it didnt have cybernetic parts anymore the eye wouldnt flash. Who knows though, maybe the artist thought it just looked cool like young robert liefeld did in 1990

Newsarama is guessing Marvelman, but I think it has more to do with Homo-Superior

Maybe Astonishing X-men?

Faceless masks and pony-tails need to make a comback now. Doesn't get much more extreme than that:

 

[slightconfuse]

i think marvelman might be right play here. its about time amrvel did sometihng with it.

Also good luck to hopeless folling remender

 

[8bit]

Wow, that's a stunning cover.


I bet Superior is going to be something teethgrindingly infuriating like Mark Millar's Marvelman.

 

[slightconfuse]

Also get Bendis and Loeb away from cosmic marvel please

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

That cable book looks like it has potential to be the most boring book of all time. Too bad it won't last long.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Buncha variant covers released today.

Also, what's the deal with no Marvel previews last night? Did they change the release date or something?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

That Baby Avengers pic with BP and Black Bolt is actually a variant for New Avengers, so now we know four members of that team.


and apparently there's some big news about Psylocke on Monday, but if it's not written by Remender...

 

[TheKaeptain]

The second tier books are.....something

It's like Marvel only gives a shit about The Avengers now...

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Looks like Hickman gets to keep some characters!!

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Marvel will have a "top secret guest," the writer of "the most shocking comic book of 2012" which then leads to a January 2013 launch.

uh, most shocking comic of the year

what was that?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Where are people getting these quotes and pics??

That's been the case since the movie was first announced.

So the New Avengers are basically what's left of the Illuminati? Wonder if Dr Strange is also on the team.

Marvel's SUPERIOR Announcement = MARVELMAN in 2013?

I still think it could be a relaunch of Uncanny X-Men. Then again...

I don't know what book this is.

Oh god please don't bring Millar into this.

I am out of loop with all these stupid teasers popping up.

 

[Sblargh]

I could google, but I want to feel the hate. What is marvelman?

It's going to be Slott.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Gabriel also said Milo Manara will be doing a Marvel NOW! cover that heavily features Psylocke, with her name in italics in the interview like it's the title of a book, suggesting the mutant ninja will be getting her own ongoing series as part of Marvel NOW!.

When reached for comment on Psylocke, a Marvel Comics representative had merely this to tease: "Stay tuned for some big news regarding Psylocke on Monday!"

OH YEAH!

EDIT: cut down on the fat.. my hype train doesn't have to take the rest of Comic-GAF with it.

 

[Hagi]

Man those X-Force costumes are horrid, whats with the orange theme and the one coloured glove on Domino. 90'S EXTREEEEME revival indeed.

I thought a Way X-Force was the worst that could happen smh. As someone who's just getting back into comics NOW is really a mixed bag. I lean more to X books and with WatXM being the only thing seemingly untouched it's a tad disappointing. Guess it's time to try some new characters like Waids Hulk and Aarons Thor.

 

[8bit]

There is a quite a complicated backstory to it, in short it's possibly Alan Moore's greatest Superhero work and has been in litigation hell for years. Marvel now hold the character rights and have been threatening to relaunch it for some time.

Cable and the team must be indoctrinated.

 

[Owzers]

You know, I just realized that more comics already exist than I could ever conceivably read in my lifetime, and that just made me less mad. I think I'm gonna be ok guys.

I'm running into this too, mainly that all the trades i buy i never get around to reading because i still buy more single issues than i have time for.

 

[TerminalDogma]

So that Cable X-Force thing is replacing Uncanny X-Force, yeah? Sorry, bit out of the loop. Last UXF book I read was just the start of them going into the Age of Apocalypse dimension. Thinking about getting back into some comic books, and now I see one that I was really interested in is going away? Lame.

Oh wow. Is it the same marvelman? I didn't even remember the whole thing. Miracleman was excellent.

...the past 30+ issues are still available i dont even understand your logic, if you want to get back into comics read the first 3 archs of UXF what are you worry about a new book thats coming in a few months for?

Well obviously I am going to be reading the back issues (I already ordered the trades off amazon). I'm "worrying" about that book because its one of the first things I saw when going to the last few pages of this thread, and I was interested in reading new issues of it. Whats the problem with that?

 

[Hagi]

Uncanny X-Force is the best thing i'm reading, Remender is a beast. For this man alone i will pick up a Captain America book.

Switch to Uncanny Avengers starting in October. Remender will be continuing some of the same themes and story threads there.

 

[Father_Brain]

Psylocke book might be the Humphries/Garney "Killers" title that was teased a week ago, not a solo book.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Oh man, Milo Manara drawing Psylocke? Lmao. X-Women part 2.

 

[Auron_Kale]

I want this cover as a print... Right now, it's serving as my iphone's lockscreen. The Baby Avengers with the fridge is my wallpaper...

So the 0 bat books all confirm that Bruce had been Batman for a few years before Supes showed up right? He had enough time to become a myth.

Yes

Looks firmly in the zone of Red Hulk/Supes-Batman Loeb, so I'm totally on board.
