The first couple of publishers, I was feeling pretty good about March's solicits. Planning post titles around "Christmas miracle." Then I got past the first few publishers and things sputtered out. The number of new things wasn't too shabby, there just didn't seem to be much besides that, especially since Deadpool is still crossing over with Miles Morales, meaning another month of no-go. So I end up in roughly the same place as January and February.
What's new? Marvel's got a new The Thing mini-series, by Tony Fleecs and Leonard Kirk. Kind of strange timing, since it looks like Doom just reverted him to plain old Ben Grimm in the latest Big Event, but there it is.
There's a Godzilla vs. the Marvel Universe thing, that's less a mini-series than 6 loosely connected one-shots, starting with the Fantastic Four. That feels like something I buy a beat up tpb copy of in two years.
DC's got a new Secret Six book, by Nicole Maines and Stephen Segovia, about hunting down an escaped Amanda Waller. It's 50/50 classic Secret Six members and new folks. The only one of the new ones I know if Jon Kent. I'm not sure the overarching plot interests me, but maybe it gets a try.
John Allison and Max Sarin are doing another Great British Bump-Off, Kill or Be Quilt. The mystery in the first mini-series didn't impress me but, Max Sarin art is hard for me to pass up, and it'll almost certainly be funny. Paul Tobin and J. Holden are releasing Dark Pyramid through Mad Cave, about a girlfriend searching for her missing live-streamer boyfriend on Mt. Denali.
What's ending? The solicitation doesn't say it for certain, but volume 10 of The Boxer sure feels like it might be the conclusion, seeing as we're finally going to learn with Yu and K are so fucked up. If not that, then nothing.
And the rest? Fantastic Four's in One World Under Doom tie-in country. I guess we'll see how effectively North can make this book work if I'm not reading the main mini-series. If he can't, I may have to drop this until the event's done, by which point Marvel will probably have canceled it anyway.
Moon Knight's in trouble with Khonshu again, Laura Kinney's teaming up with The Revolution. Sadly it's Bucky Barnes, not a Prince cover band. Batgirl's still dealing with mama issues, and Metamorpho's up against angry, sentient buildings. I think. Bronze Faces is up to issue 2, as is Mine is a Long, Lonesome Grave. Dust to Dust is at the midpoint, and the title character of The Surgeon made a friend. In a post-apocalypse? That's a terrible idea!
