The only apparent cancellation from those solicits I'm bummed about is Silk. But if people don't buy the books you can't really complain. They're not making this stuff just for the hell of it.

Secret Warriors starting with Secret Empire tie-ins is a bit of a bummer.

Of course it does! It's a book that exists because of a crossover, just like the old Secret Warriors!

Honestly it's still kinda impressive it lasted this long. Kinda glad they finally reverted the character back from the one-dimensional dick joke he's been since Civil War 1 before he got the boot.

I find it kind of hilarious that David Gabriel just went on a poo poo talking rant about DC's double shipping books and OH LOOK MARVEL IS DOING IT TOO.

# ? Feb 22, 2017 02:06 |

Double shipping is almost always terrible no matter who is doing it. I understand it a little more for a new title trying get a bit of momentum, but anything past the first few months is overkill. I dropped several DC books that I enjoyed just fine because I thought double shipping was killing the pacing and because they just weren't worth it. Books like Deadpool or Superman right now are the exception where it works. But some books like Nightwing or Cyborg for instance double shipping is stupid. Nightwing was a mediocre book and I dropped it not because it was bad, but because it wasn't worth keeping up with. And who the hell is the audience for a Cyborg twice monthly book? That's just wasteful stupidity.

I believe Cyborg is monthly now.
|
# ? Feb 22, 2017 02:24 |

Ok, but there never should have been a point where someone suggested and then someone else agreed that a twice monthly Cyborg book was a thing the world needed.
|
# ? Feb 22, 2017 02:28 |
|
Yeah, that's the weird part. That and Deathstroke being double shipped was a weird choice.
|
# ? Feb 22, 2017 02:32 |
|
Yeah I mean as much as I loathe double shipping I can understand why you'd want to double ship Batman, Superman, Justice League, Deadpool, X-Men, etc. But books like Cyborg, Deathstroke, Nightwing, Green Arrow, and even Aquaman are head scratchers. And I say that as someone that thinks Green Arrow is probably the best DC book next to Superman.

Those Secret Empire covers feature Peter Parker right up front, but I couldn't see Miles in there. That's a bit weird, I figured he would be a central character.

5-7 years ago Marvel was double-shipping A LOT of titles, and what was really confusing is that it wasn't even necessarily their top books. Going back to 2012, Marvel solicited two issues of these books in the following months (ignoring biweekly events, mini-series, and Amazing Spider-Man which was designed to be twice a month): All-New X-Men (November, December) Avengers (February, March, October, November, December) Avengers Academy (January, February, May, June, August, September) Avengers Arena (December) Avenging Spider-Man (Augus, December) Cable & X-Force (December) Captain America (May, July, October) Captain America & ______ (May, June, August, September) Captain Marvel (October) Daken: Dark Wolverine (January, March) Daredevil (May, August) Deadpool (January, February, May, July, September, October) Fantastic Four (May) Gambit (August, November) Hawkeye (December) Hulk (May, June, August) Incredible Hulk (June, September) Invincible Iron Man (May, June, July, August, September, October) Iron Man (November, December) Journey into Mystery (May, September) Mighty Thor (April, June, September, October) New Avengers (February, April, October, November) New Mutants (February, April, July, August) Punisher (September) Scarlet Spider (December) Secret Avengers (January, February, September, October) Thor: God of Thunder (November) Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers (January, April, June, July, September, December) Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (October) Ultimate Comics Ultimates (May, December) Ultimate Comics X-Men (February, May, September, October, November) Uncanny X-Force (January, February, July, August, November) Uncanny X-Men (February, March, June, July, August) Venom (February, April, May, July, August, September, November) Winter Soldier (February, June, September) Wolverine (March, May, July, August, October) Wolverine & The X-Men (February, April, May, July, August, October, November) X-Factor (February, May, June, July, August, September, November, December) X-Men (February, May, June, August, September) X-Men Legacy (January, March, May, June, September, October) X-Treme X-Men (August, November, December) Imagine if you were trying to keep your budget to X comics a month with a schedule like that. There was also minimal effort in most offices to maintain coherent art teams/rotations during this, and while this is correlation not causation, a whole lot of those books were being written at the time by people who have scaled back/eliminated Marvel work from their schedule: Aaron, Brubaker, Fraction, Hickman, Parker, and Remender all saw a commitment of 3/4 books a month explode because of these shipping practices. This could have totally been their idea, but I doubt it.

So based on Havok and next month's cover, I get a feeling the reason there's no Emma Frost in ResurXtion is she takes her place as mutant Hitler.
