New Comic Day!

[newnumber6]

This week I got:
Batgirl #48 (Pretty good)
Emma Frost #7 (Mediocre)
Mystique #10 (Good)
Ultimate Fantastic Four #2 (Pretty good)
Ultimate Six #6 (good, wish this was the last though)
Wanted #2 (Started out just bleh, but by the end I wound up liking it, mainly because some of the twists)
X-Treme X-Men #40 (Not bad issue, as Claremont plays 'Let's play nice and acknowledge what's going on in the other titles' again.)

Also had a gyro (mmmm, gyro).

In other comic news, April Solicits came out. Some stories were confirmed (the end of X-Treme, Austen taking over New X-Men for 2 issues to wrap up the post-Morrison era), other things were hinted at about the state of the Marvel/X universe after Morrison, and they hinted at a new series: District X. No idea on what it's about, though. Might feature Bishop, and if so, it could be this is what's going to follow up with the X.S.E. thread.

I believe Runaways manga-sized TPB is also due out in April, wasn't able to check that part though since they had the trades listed on a separate page and the link was broken.

If District X is about Bishop, it might be Marvel trying to dig X-men into the crime-comic market that's kinda gotten bigger with stuff like Powers (and Bendis; other works) as well as GCPD.

It did confirm the X-Calibur thing though?

Hadn't thought about the cop book possibility.. that's a definite possibilit, even if they decide to separate it from the XSE (which are sorta mutant cops too, although on a more global scale).

As to Excalibur... yep. It's not actually solicited in the April solicits because it comes out in May, but in a bullet-point thing after the last X-Treme X-Men, it says 'Coming In May.. Excalibur!'
