July's solicits weren't the worst I've seen since starting this monthly feature. Heck, last July had a total of 3 measly books I ended up buying. But even then, there were 5 others I noted but didn't buy for various reasons (some just didn't show up.) I know my handwriting is small, but I shouldn't be able to fit everything on one line in a spiral notebook.
What's new? Cosmic Lion has two issues of something called Ghostman, who can walk through walls (sure) and conjure weapons at will (???) The new Fantastic Four volume is starting, still written by Ryan North, but drawn by, sigh, Humberto Ramos. Ramos' art has never grown on me, so unless it changed drastically from what I remember when he was drawing Amazing Spider-Man or Champions, that's going to make for some tough sledding.
Guess I can always hope he doesn't last any longer than most artists Marvel announces for new series.
There's another Jeff the Land Shark one-shot, but it's by Jason Loo, and I've sworn him off after Dazzler and Werewolf by Night were such duds.
What's ending? Past Time, and even though it was in last month's solicits, the last issue of Great British Bump-Off. Also, apparently the oversized anniversary issue of Deadpool in June was the end of that book, too. Replaced by Deadpools and Wolverines. Yeesh.
And the rest: Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu is celebrating Moonie's 250th issue. Hopefully that doesn't mean a cancellation like with Deadpool. The Runaways mini-series will be on issue 2, The Thing on issue 3, Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma on issue 4, Dark Pyramid on issue 5. Sadly, nothing releasing its sixth issue I want, but Batgirl will be up to issue 9. That's like a 6, if you stand on your head!
And that's it. I checked Image's website, still nothing on Dust to Dust past last week's issue. Can't find anything on more Bronze Faces on Boom!'s site, either. No manga caught my eye. Guess I'll have to find something else to do in July. Good thing it's such a pleasant month, weather-wise.
