This post relates to: Nocenti, Ann, Art Adams, Longshot

Longshot is finally returning.  I never understood why he was so rarely seen for so long.  He was a pretty popular character.  So popular that he was integrated into the popular X-Men.  I'm aware that he was in the Exiles but look where that went.

It's nice to see that he's getting the hardcover treatment.  Arthur Adams artwork is simply amazing to look at.  I'm sure there's quite a few people that missed out on the mini-series also.  Here's your chance to read it.

I can't wait to see him go up against the Skrulls.

X-Men: Longshot Is Now Loaded Full of Extras!

 
Marvel is pleased to announce that X-Men: Longshot Premiere HC, from superstars Ann Nocenti and Art Adams, will now arrive loaded with extras at no extra charge!

This also marks the first time this story has been reprinted in a decade, showing a new generation of fans just why Longshot remains a perennial fan-favorite!

Plus, don’t miss Longshot’s return to the Marvel Universe in X-Factor #33 as part of the “He Loves You” storyline, tying into the red-hot Secret Invasion! Just why has Longshot returned? And what will this mean for the conflict between X-Factor & She-Hulk?

Incredble Herc?  I just can't get past that.  How long until if reverts back to Hulk.  It still says Hulk in the fine print.  We have Red Hulk to look forward to.  I'm not worried.  I'll sit back and enjoy the ride while it lasts.  Hulk deserves a rest after World War Hulk.

Marvel is pleased to reveal newly-exclusive artist Daniel Acuna’s stunning variant cover to Incredible Hercules #114! Featuring Hercules and a familiar team of friends from Los Angeles, the Incredible Hercules #114 Acuna Variant Cover is a can’t-miss for fans of this critically acclaimed series!

This should be interesting.  Hercules is the a god.   He's supposed to be the strongest.  So he should have no problem taking on the Avengers, right?  But then, they have Ares.  The God of War.  It's funny that the Avengers and Tony Stark spend so much time going after unregistered heroes instead of worrying about the actual villains.  Maybe they figure that the heroes will hold back when fighting them where as the villains could go all out against them and try to kill them.  You can have a slimeball like Norman Osborn in a position of power just because he signed a piece of paper.  Yet those that continue to risk their lives for others are considered the "bad guys."  Let's hope Herc tells them a thing or two.  Plus we get a cover by Art Adams!

It had to happen—Hercules battles Ares in a fight that’s been brewing for centuries! Incredible Hercules #113, from the acclaimed writing team of World War Hulk architect Greg Pak and fan-favorite Fred Van Lente, lushly illustrated by rising star Khoi Pham, the duo of Hercules and Amadeus Cho continue their escape from S.H.I.E.L.D.—but Ares will have none of that! Teaming with fellow Mighty Avengers member Wonder Man, the God Of War aims to extract revenge for times past with a weapon so deadly, so potent, that Hercules will not escape unscathed! Smashing out of WWH, this is the book that’ll show you just why Hercules & Cho may just be the hottest new team of 2008!


“Greg and Fred have crafted an amazing story that delves into Herc’s past and brings a mythic quality to the present arc,” said Senior Editor Mark Paniccia. “And then there’s Khoi and Paul Neary’s art and fantastic coloring by the great Stephan Peru. Get ready for an epic tale that will knock you into the next century.”


It’s all out action like only the God Of War could bring you and by this issue’s end, Hercules will never be the same—then again, he may not survive! Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Incredible Hercules #113, continuing the fallout from World War Hulk and featuring an all-new variant cover by Pham. This is the battle you’ve been demanding and now it’s time for the Gods to war like you’ve never seen before!

Buuut, it's just for a variant cover.  I love Art Adams' work.  He needs to do more high profile stuff.  Not sure if it's a 50/50 split or what.  I hope so. I'd rather have the choice of an Art Adams cover or a Michael Turner cover. 

Honoring the reunion of Marvel’s First Family, Fantastic Four #551 now features a previously unannounced variant cover by industry legend Art Adams. Continuing the critically acclaimed run by writer Dwayne McDuffie and artist Paul Pelletier, the Fantastic Four are confronted by a hero from twenty in the future, who has traveled back in time to stop the world’s greatest threat. The hero: Dr. Doom. The villain: Reed Richards. But just how could a man known for his devotion to philanthropy and justice cause the end of the world as we know it?

Critics and fans alike continue to praise the team of McDuffie and Pelletier, with Don MacPherson of EyeOnComics.Com gushing, “McDuffie is in the midst of one of the most fun Fantastic Four stints I’ve had the pleasure of reading, and he manages to pull off the impossible…Pelletier’s art is a perfect match to the enthusiasm and bright, flashy super-hero action”

“It’s come together well,” said ComixTreme’s Blake M. Petit of the acclaimed FF creative team. “Paul Pelletier’s artwork continues to impress.”

Why is Dr. Doom the Earth’s last hope? And could he be right about Mr. Fantastic? The shocking answers to these questions and much, much more in Fantastic Four #551, now featuring a standard cover by Michael Turner and a variant by Art Adams.

Here's a preview for issue #2.

Marvel is pleased to announce that Avengers Classic #1, the debut issue of the series that collects the Avengers’ earliest tales, has sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level). Featuring all-new stories by Dwayne McDuffie and Stan Lee, not to mention a re-mastered Avengers #1, Avengers Classic #1 doesn’t just reprint stories—it brings them to you like never before! Going back to Marvel’s film archive, Avengers Classic features rescans from original stats and film, cleaned up to restore it as closely as possible to the original art, and remasters the coloring restoring it to match the original using modern coloring techniques. The end result is an updated, sharper issue of Avengers than you’ve ever seen before that captures the spirit and power of Jack Kirby’s groundbreaking art.

Just one issue in, the series has proven to be a hit with fans and critics alike! “It’s only one of the most important comic books in history,” said SilverBulletComicBooks.Com’s Kevin Powers of the tale inside Avengers Classic #1. “Kirby’s art looks fantastic and still resonates 44 years later.”

Said Editor Alejandro Arbona of the brand new stories, “Dwayne McDuffie and Michael Avon Oeming add layers of depth to the already brilliant characters created by Stan and Jack. Focusing on individual Avengers and their personal tribulations during some of the team’s earliest thrilling adventures, ‘Avengers Classic’ enriches their world and touches on the humanity of Earth’s mightiest heroes.” Fans will also thrill to added bonuses such as the original house ad from Avengers #2—never before reprinted!—and the original letter pages, which will begin appearing with issue #5!

Marvel has no plans to go back to press on Avengers Classic #1 at this time. Don’t miss Avengers Classic #2, as the Hulk smashes his way into a re-mastered Avengers #2 and into an all new story by Dwayne McDuffie & Michael Oeming! Bruce Banner is in jail and charged with murder. Could he be guilty? And don’t forget the stunning Avengers Classic poster by Art Adams, featuring the cover to issue #1, is still available in stores!
