Okay, I’m back to do Solit’s for upcoming Marvel & DC Comics comic books. I’ll pick out a few books & leave my own comments. Enjoy.

MARVEL COMICS SOLICITATIONS

CAPTAIN AMERICA: STEVE ROGERS #1
NICK SPENCER (W) • JESUS SAIZ (A/C)
Cover by JESUS SAIZ. VARIANT COVER BY STEVE EPTING. ACTION FIGURE VARIANT COVER BY JOHN TYLER CHRISTOPHER
He’s back! The original Sentinel of Liberty returns, with a new shield, a new team, and a new mission! And he’s not the only one who’s back! Like the saying goes– cut off one LIMB, two more will take its place! HAIL HYDRA!

ROBERT: I know it’s a gimmick Comic Book action figure cover but for me, it works, especially for the return of Steve Rogers as Captain America: Original since they’re still keeping Sam Wilson as New Captain America.

 
THUNDERBOLTS #1
Jim Zub (W) • Jon Malin (A/C). VARIANT COVER BY MARK BAGLEY
They’re a renegade team rampaging across the Marvel Universe under the direction of the Winter Soldier! But are the Thunderbolts heroes or villains—and do even they know for sure?

ROBERT: Another pointless comic book cover with Action Hero Pose #879. What does this tell me other than the team as Winter Solider with them / a part of the team. The Solits for this comic doesn’t help either, what the hell is this issue about? Blah. Pointless Cover & Solits. Wouldn’t pick this up.

 
CIVIL WAR II #0
BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS (W) • OLIVIER COIPEL (A/C). VARIANT COVER BY ESAD RIBIC
From the creative team that brought you House of M and Siege comes a blistering first chapter in Marvel’s new explosive event. Watch as the players are introduced and the table is set for a storyline that fans will be talking about for years.

ROBERT: S E R I O U S L Y?! WHAT THE FnCK?! Why oh WHY does there need to be another re-hash of Civil War?! It’s not like there’s anything to tie this new Iron Man vs Capta… Ooh… OH Fcck off MARVEL. I thought the whole talk was always to NOT have to cross movies & comics!? Make up your fncking mind. And Cover-wise – it’s well done to all creative teams but does it sell up coming Event?! Does it sell a face-off between IRON MAN v CAPTAIN AMERICA round 2?! Does it? To quote Lana, “NOOOOOPE!”

 
WEB WARRIORS #7
MIKE COSTA (W) • DAVID BALDEON (A). Cover by JULIAN TOTINO TEDESCO
SPIDERS VS. STARTS NOW! Still dealing with the casualties of ELECTROVERSE, the Web-Warriors struggle to keep their team together. Not only is the team struggling to stay together, so is the WEB OF LIFE AND DESTINY! The latest special guest star from across the Spider-Verse is one of the event’s breakout hits: SPIDER-PUNK!

ROBERT: This. Is. A. Smart. Cover. It’s fun & zany enough to make me pick it up. With this line-up with SPIDER-HAM, why wouldn’t you want to pick up this comic?

DC COMICS SOLICITATIONS

TEEN TITANS #20
Written by TONY BEDARD. Art by IAN CHURCHILL. Cover by JONBOY MEYERS
On sale MAY 25 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T
The Fearsome Five is back! These deadly Teen Titans villains are gunning for Raven as if their lives depended on it. What dark secret drives their mission? It’s one Red Robin doesn’t want the team to learn! A new game-changing epic begins in “All For One.”

ROBERT: I’m SO f***king tired of seeing such ACTION POSE #100 – RUSH THE CAMERA Cover. The artwork is good but it tells the reader NOTHING about what is going on inside the comic and especially when the Solit’s claim “The Fearsome Five is back!” – SO WHY NOT SELL THAT ON THE FNCKING COVER!

 
HARLEY QUINN #28
Written by AMANDA CONNER and JIMMY PALMIOTTI. Art by JOHN TIMMS. Cover by AMANDA CONNER. 1:25 Variant cover by AMANDA CONNER
On sale MAY 18 • 32 pg, FC, $3.99 US • RATED T+
The improbable Red Tool is coming after Harley…but is this a personal vendetta? And more important—what can she do to stop him when he seems to shrug off everything she throws in his path?

ROBERT: Amanda Conner’s cover is always so well done. Makes me want to open the book & finding out what happens. Helps that the whole team put together a great comic to keep reading!

 
SINESTRO #23
Written by CULLEN BUNN. Art and cover by MARTIN COCCOLO
On sale MAY 18 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T
Soranik Natu is now in command of the most powerful—and most dangerous—police force in the universe! But with murderous traitors in the ranks, vengeance-hungry Red Lanterns spreading through the depths of space, and her father, Sinestro, trying to guide her hand, will she be able to maintain control? Or will she crack under the pressure?

ROBERT: HOT DAMN that’s a Sweet Cover! Looks like a great poster or t-shirt! *hint hint someone* Looking forward to diving back into Sinestro since returning back to DC Comics!

 
SUPERMAN: LOIS & CLARK #8
Written by DAN JURGENS. Art and cover by LEE WEEKS
On sale MAY 18 • 32 pg, FC, $3.99 US • RATED T
Don’t miss the climactic chapter of the epic story of the pre-New 52 Superman! Kal-El’s world is falling apart as Intergang makes its final move against Lois! And the cosmic threat that is Hyathis has come to Earth in search of a power source that will give her dominion over her enemies. Now, the future of an entire planet may rest with Superman’s young son, Jon.

ROBERT: WHA DA F***K is up with this comic book cover when you actually READ the Solits. In this write up – WHERE is Batman?! This comic is called Superman: Lois & Clark so let’s put Batman beating up criminals with Supermans spotlight. WTF?!
