5 Reasons To Read Comics In 2008

While it’s never been a hobby of mine to ruin perfectly good stories or plots before they actually happen, a wise man once told me that you should try everything at least once. So, that being said, strap yourselves in for a number of spoilers regarding some of the Marvel releases scheduled for 2008!

While it’s never been a hobby of mine to ruin perfectly good stories or plots before they actually happen, a wise man once told me that you should try everything at least once. So, that being said, strap yourselves in for a number of spoilers regarding some of the Marvel releases scheduled for 2008!

1.) New Avengers gets a new artist
Yu’s reign of terror is over starting with the New Avengers annual that’s going to be released in January. I knew if I waited long enough, he’d either get fired, die or just stop drawing for New Avengers. His successor? None other than Carlo Pagulayan.

2.) Tony Stark gets fired
Stark is removed as head of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nuff’ said.

3.) Thunderbolts #119
Prisoners being held in T-bolts mountain try and overrun the place which leads to a head on battle with the Thunderbolts. Arm biting, electrocutions and more unnecessary violence are sure to follow. *Drool*

4.) Carnage in Mighty Avengers
Carnage appears on the cover of Mighty Avengers #8. What does this mean? It means Sentry can fly him into space and rip him in half…AGAIN!

5.) Spider-Man…3 times, 3 times, 3 times!
Amazing Spider-Man is getting released three times in January alone with issues 549, 550 and 551 all being released within the same month. That’s almost more Spider-Man than I can handle…oh, wait. No, it’s not.

2008 is already shaping up to be significantly better than 2007. For the complete January 2008 release list from Marvel, be sure to check out their website.

    Yeah… I hope they can do better with that three times a month thing than they have with One More Day, which appears to be shaping up to be among the worst ideas ever.

    Yeah, I’m not entirely sure how this is all going to come together in the end. They’re either going to have everything somehow magically tie together or they be left with one hell of a mess.

    I’m betting it’ll be a mess.

    I’m betting on it being written into a corner and then some deus ex machina coming in to magically make it all “better”.

    Yeah, that seems to be the general consensus. I’m curious to see how he’ll fit in the with the rest of the universe after it’s all said and done.

    What with the Civil War and all that jazz.
