I like Red Wolf a lot and I will be sad if (or apparently, when) they cancel it.

Spidey #7 is on the June solicits as far as I can tell.

Here is how I'd rank the Marvel titles I've tried out since the launch of ANAD. Titles I still buy and look forward to regularly every month (my favorite of ANAD): Agents of SHIELD, Captain Marvel, Invincible Iron Man, Mighty Thor, Ms. Marvel, Red Wolf, Silk, Spider Woman, Ultimates, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Vision Titles I buy monthly but can't quite call my favorite: A-Force, Daredevil, Old Man Logan Titles I tried out and dropped down to reading trade only: Amazing Spider-Man, Contest of Champions, Patsy Walker, Silver Surfer, Star Lord, Spidey Titles I tried out and dropped entirely: ANAD Avengers, All New Hawkeye, All New Inhumans, All New X-Men, Angela, Black Knight, Doctor Strange (biggest disappointment of ANAD), Extraordinary X-Men, Howling Commandos of SHIELD, Illuminati, New Avengers, Scarlet Witch, Spider Gwen, Squadron Supreme, Uncanny Avengers, Uncanny Inhumans, Uncanny X-Men Titles that I like but are too new to have made a real decision on yet: Black Widow, Karnak, Mockingbird, Power Man and Iron Fist And I'm looking forward to the launches of Black Panther, Nighthawk and Punisher here soon.

I'm not normally too into the Marvel Cosmic stuff, but seeing the Abnett/Lanning Guardians omnibus coming out in a few months sort of made me want to check out their run. I realize they did a lot of cosmic stuff across multiple titles (and over a long period of time), so I'm wondering if there is an accepted reading order or recommended high points from their stuff that I should check out. Is it all related or can I pretty much read whatever runs/events look good?

Has New Avengers gotten that much better? I dropped it after the first arc because I wasn't into the story or art at all, which was a shame because I'm a big Ewing fan. I also dropped Contest of Champions because it felt completely divorced from everything else and I thought I'd be fine to read it in trade or on MU. Sounds like that might have been a mistake too.

I've found a lot of good reading orders (and a lot of good reading guidance in general) at comicbookherald.com. The guy goes back quite a ways and has rankings/recommendations for tons and tons of Marvel.

If you liked Kill Bill, today's Spider Woman is, uh, really something

Its sales are in the safe zone. It doesn't do gang busters but it's above other titles that are in no danger of being canceled. And if historic trends are any guide, it probably does better than average in digital sales.

Is Aaron also staying on Doctor Strange? FosThor, Odinson, Dr Strange, Southern Bastards, The Goddamned... that's a lot of writing.

The Big Bang Comics guys were posting on Twitter that they did a big FOC cut on Champions at the last minute because it didn't seem to have much buzz or many preorders among their customers, and even then it only sold half of what they ordered. Lot of retailers seemed to be expressing similar sentiments. So that Bleeding Cool poll isn't a big surprise. And for a more local anecdote, I was in my LCS today and asked the owner how it sold. He said they were selling 200-250 copies of the biggest Marvel books when when ANAD launched, but for Champions he had 14 pulls. Those all sold and he ordered another 20 for the wall. Most of them were still there after 5 days on sale. Cage and Jessica Jones did worse and he didn't even sell a dozen Death of X. It does sound like some of the Now books that launch in November and December will sell better, but for now it's pretty grim.

I haven't paid close attention to what's going on with the Legacy stuff but as far as I can tell it isn't going to touch Ms. Marvel or most of the new X-Men books they've got started, which is fine with me since that's all I read from Marvel.

I'm just sitting down now to finish up the Waid/Samnee run on Daredevil and I have enjoyed it as much as any comics I have read in quite some time.

How much of the pre-Claremont X-Men stuff is worth reading? I just picked up the three omnibus hardcovers of Claremont's stuff, but I thought I might try to use MU to read the 60-odd issues that came before his run started. After 20-25 issues I'm not finding much to like, as the stories are usually incredibly verbose and use a ton of words to tell stories that are ultimately very simple and rote. If it gets better at some point and the next 40+ issues are worth checking out, I'm happy to keep going, but if people only read this stuff nowadays for the sake of history and/or completionism, I think I'd rather just get started on my omnibus.

I've been reading the Claremont X-Men omnibus editions and I'm about done with the third one. For some reason, I never realized there are no more after the third one even though the series goes on for like 100 more issues. Is there any reason they stopped where they did? Does the series go way downhill after this? I like the run well enough that I'd just keep reading it on Marvel Unlimited, but if it takes a sharp dive that might make me reconsider.

Maybe that will change when that new Lemire series starts because that will undoubtedly be the only good extended run the Sentry character has ever featured in.

I just got home from work and had a chance to read the X-Men Gold issue. I'm glad I was able to avoid spoilers because reading that final twist and then seeing the splash page advertising the new series was awesome. I'll be picking that up for sure.

Most of it is setup about Reynolds's life in New York and how Strange set the Sentry/Void up in a pocket universe (I had no idea about this, but I wasn't current on Sentry's story at all). The plot kicks in on the last few pages and there's a cliffhanger. If you're iffy on it I'd wait another issue or two to see where it's going.

I hadn't been keeping up on Weapon X but I just sat and read the first two trades and the crossover with Hulk. What a big bunch of nutty fun that series is. I'm strongly considering trying to catch up and start picking it up in floppies. Is Weapon H as good?
