| A vs. X or Avengers vs. X-Men promises to be
Marvel’s big event of the year. 12 issues, twice a month and 2 stories
an issue promising many big fights. Plus shananigans by the Scarlet Witch
and dare I say.....’Pheonix’...Rumors is that the new character being
featured in Battle Scars may have sprung from the loins of one Nick
Fury...The Golden Age Human Torch Jim Hammond will be joining the Secret
Avengers! As promised by DanDiDio, there would be creative changes in
certain DC New 52 books around #6 if he felt the books could be improved.
Look for new writers on Green Arrow (Ann Nocenti of DD fame), Stormwatch
(Paul Jenkins), Deathstroke (unconfirmed), Hawk & Dove (Rob himself),
Voodoo, Static Shock, Men of War (James Robinson ?) and Legion Lost (Tom
DeFalco). Also look for artist Joe Bennett (Deathstroke) to move to
Hawkman with issue #9. Joe did a great job on Hawkman a few years ago near
the end of the Johns/Morales series...Perez is off Superman with #7. He
will then be doing a stand-alone Birds of Prey issue and a new secret
project with perhaps Gail Simone who will be leaving Firestorm. The team
of Kieth Giffen/Dan Jurgens writing, and Dan Jurgens Jesus Merino art will
take over the Man of Steel. I don’t expect any books to get the axe
before #12 as they are all doing well. At that time we may well see a 52
Wave 2.....oh and then there’s the upcoming Watchmen 2!!!!!!
