My Picks from the Marvel July 2013 Solicitations

Marvel Comics;

Avengers A.I

Writer: Sam Humphries
Artist: Andre Araujo

One of the first new titles to be announced to come spiralling out of Ultron. Here is our answer to how Vision fits into Marvel NOW! I find the idea for this team and title exciting. I look forward to seeing the adventures of a Doombot. Love the cover by Dustin Weaver, still undecided whether I will be a fan of the regular artists interiors, haven't really seen much work by them before. But I hope it will look great and look forward to seeing how this fits in to the new Marvel NOW! Universe.


Marvel Comics;

Guardians of the Galaxy #5

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis/ Neil Gaiman
Artist: Sara Pichelli

The accompanying image is the cover for Guardians of the Galaxy #4 they seem to be keeping the cover to issue #5 under wraps. I am already very excited for issue #4 as it has Sara Pichelli on art, who produces some of the most amazing work for Ultimate Spider-Man with Bendis. But the excitement for issue #5, for some, has been ramped up by the appearance of a certain newly announced character for the Marvel Universe, originally from the pages of Spawn at Image, Angela. You just know she is gonna look great being drawn by Pichelli and with Gaiman joining Bendis on the script I just hope on hope this will be as exciting as I imagine.

Marvel Comics;

Superior Spider-Man #14

Writer: Dan Slott
Artist: Humberto Ramos

Another Twist! Another Turn! The biggest thing to happen since #700 is to take place next month with Superior Spider-Man #9, but now we are also being told the next biggest thing to happen will be in issue #14. Another new costume, but who is it under the mask. Still no firm conclusion on that one apart from Slott keeps strongly reminding us Peter Parker is dead, maybe somewhat to strongly? They wouldn't really kill of Peter Parker right? Well the cover for this issue has left me excited, costume evoking opposite elements of Mile Morales costume in Ultimate Spider-Man, not that it has anything to do with the issue but still it looks awesome! I keep picking this up as Slott is writing some great issues with this new status quo, but I am also hoping and praying for the return of Peter Parker!
