Marvel's Februrary solicits!

http://www.newsarama.com/marvelnew/F...6solicits.html

Solicits of interest(for me anyways):

Quote:
FURY: PEACEMAKER #1 (of 6)
Written by GARTH ENNIS
Penciled by DARICK ROBERTSON
Inked by JIMMY PALMIOTTI
Cover by MIKE DEODATO JR.
Part One: "Kasserine Pass": Before he presided over S.H.I.E.L.D., before he ran with the Howling Commandos, Sgt. Nick Fury fought on the blood-stained sands of the Tunisian desert. It was here that he came face to face with the incomparable might of the 21st Panzer Division and its skilled warrior commander -- General Stephen Barkhorn -- and barely lived to tell about it. And it was there that he got a second chance at life...and revenge. In this gripping limited series, Garth Ennis (Ghost Rider, Punisher) and Darick Ropbertson (Punisher: Born) offer a never-before-seen glimpse into the soul of a warrior you only think you know.
32 PGS./T+ SUGGESTED FOR TEENS AND UP ...$3.50
I like Fury, and a Fury tale set in WWII can't be too bad.

The spotlight will fall on more than 600 profiles -including new characters, characters who never received a profile and those needing major updates.

Easily marvel's best comic. Sounds like a good read.

THING #4
Written by DAN SLOTT
Pencils & Cover by ANDREA DI VITO
"Paws... and Fast Forward"
Wotta revoltin' development! How did Benjamin J. Grimm, the billionaire playboy, get stuck watching the kids and walking the dog? It's a strange day of babysitting, dog-sitting, and vice versa. And when it's over, the Thing's life will NEVER be the same again! A done-in-one doggy-tale that's a great place for new readers to jump on. Guest starring: Lockjaw, the Richards family, the Inhumans, and, of course, a Marvel bad guy that needs a good clobberin'!
32 PGS./T+ SUGGESTED FOR TEENS AND UP ...$2.99

SHE-HULK #5
Written by DAN SLOTT
Penciled by JUAN BOBILLO
Cover by GREG HORN
"New Kid in Town"
Hey there, buckaroos! Time to say "Howdy" to the newest member of She-Hulk's law firm, Matthew Hawk, the legendary Two-Gun Kid! He's back in the present and barred from ever returning to his own time. So, can this lawyer from the Wild West find a place for himself in the courts of today?
All that, and She-Hulk's got herself a new client-a former Avenger who's in a world of trouble...
32 PGS./RATED A ...$2.99
I loved the first issue of each of these series. Slott is the ****ing man. Thing sounds especially good. Great to see some Inhumans.

UNDERWORLD #1 (of 5)
Written by FRANK TIERI
Penciled by STAZ JOHNSON
Cover by SEAN SCOFFIELD
Career criminal Jackie Dio is fresh out of the Cage and looking for trouble. When he tracks down some of his old crime contacts, he discovers a lot has changed in the New York underworld-and finds more trouble than he bargained for. If he's going to have a shot at surviving, he may have to get acquainted with the shadowy figure known only as "The Consultant" - that is, if he even exists. Frank Tieri (Weapon X, Hercules) combines humor with dark urban grit in this limited series!
32 PGS./T+ SUGGESTED FOR TEENS AND UP ...$2.99
Sounds like a nice change in pace from the norm. I'm there.

YOUNG AVENGERS #10
Written by ALLAN HEINBERG
Pencils & Cover by JIM CHEUNG
"FAMILY MATTERS"
The Young Avengers meet a familiar-looking teenage superhuman who just may be the key to their uncovering the truth about Wiccan's parentage and secret origin. Meanwhile, Hulkling's quest to discover the exact nature of his tie to the Avengers is interrupted when the Young Avengers finds themselves at war with one of the oldest and most powerful alien races in the Marvel Universe. The search for the truth yields more reversals and revelations than the team can handle! Part 2 (of 6).
32 PGS./T+ SUGGESTED FOR TEENS AND UP ...$2.99
NOTE: This is a re-solicitation. All previous orders have been cancelled.
Marvel's second best book. Don't like all the delays, though. Issue 9 comes out this month and we have to wait until feb for issue 10? Lame. Atleast Cheung is back on pencils.

ASTONISHING X-MEN #13
Written by JOSS WHEDON
Pencils & Cover by JOHN CASSADAY
Part 1 (of 6)! They're back and they're bimonthly! The chart topping super team of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday return for another full year of Astonshing X-Men! If you thought last year's run was full of shocks and surprises, hold onto your eyeballs, cause you haven't seen nothing yet!
32 PGS./T+ SUGGESTED FOR TEENS AND UP ...$2.99
Nice to see Astonsing back, but....bi-monthly? @&%#.

Quote:
CABLE/DEADPOOL #25
Written by FABIAN NICIEZA
Pencils & Cover by PATRICK ZIRCHER
"LIVING LEGENDS"
Our greed for knowledge recreated his telepathy. Our quest to confine him recreated his telekinesis. He has forged a paradise haven that threatens to destabilize countless governments and religions. One man wants to find out what Cable's intentions are before it's too late. Captain America guest stars in a special 25th issue story that debuts the new Cable... or is that the old Messiah?
32 PGS./T+ SUGGESTED FOR TEENS AND UP ...$2.99
I like this book. A lot. I just wish it would turn into a solo Deadpool. I'm really getting sick of Cable.

That's about it. There's a lot more I'll be picking up, but those are the only ones worth commenting on.
