First we'll start with Marvel previews and then I will write a separate posting for DC and the other companies in the coming weeks. At a glance, here is what I think is interesting in the Mighty Marvel Universe for the month of October 2011. Matt Fraction is white hot at the moment. He concludes "Fear Itself" with issue #7 of 7 and his "Mighty Thor" ongoing series reaches #7 (storyline precedes events of Fear Itself). "Mighty Thor" has actually been better and issue #7 will tie into Fear Itself with the true story behind the relationship of Odin and the Serpent. "Journey Into Mystery" #629 and #630 by Kieron Gillen add a must read storyline to Fraction's stories. Journey is arguably Marvel's best ongoing series. Kieron also ends "Uncanny X-Men" at #544. Keeping with the X-Men thread Jason Aaron splits the X-Men with "Schism" #5 of 5, with a throw down between Cyclops and Wolvie. My money is on Cyclops. Mr. Aaron then launches into a new X-title, "Wolverine and the X-Men", plus "Incredible Hulk" #1 from said writer should also be an interesting read. One of my favourite reads every month is Punishermax and with #18 Jason Aaron introduces Elektra to the Max line. Marvel's going to give this guy a heart attack. Got to love how prolific a writer Aaron is though.
My favourite Marvel writer by far is Jonathan Hickman and after reading Ultimates #1, he has sucked me into the Ultimate Universe. For fans looking for an entry point into something new and a cutting-edge, checkout: Ultimate Hawkeye (Hickman), Ultimates (Hickman), Ultimate Spidey (Bendis) and Ultimate X-Men (Spencer), because these titles will blow your mind. All these series reach #3 during the month of October. Find the 2nd prints of #1 and #2 if you've missed getting into the new Ultimate line. Mr. Hickman is also at it again in the regular Marvel 616 Universe with FF #10 , #11 and the best book Marvel has put out in years with the bi-monthly S.H.I.E.L.D. #3.
Enjoy what October has to offer from Marvel Comics!
