Trades

Pretty much you can remember the giant moments of Krakoa in one trade.
. . .
Alien vs Avengers Trade for $20, now that the X-Men show up in this, be worth a solid read.
Amazing Spider-Man : The 8 Deaths of Spider-Man for $35, if you can find it discounted, is the way to go, some great Juggernaut content with a side of Magik.
Uncanny X-Men : Gail Simone Trade 2 for $20 is reasonably price. Issues 9 – 16, minus 11.
Mystique : Most Wanted for $18, I really liked it, and it’ll read great in trade.
Namor : Last King of Atlantis for $35, is a bit much for maybe ten pages of Stingray.
West Coast Avengers Trade 1 for $18 is pretty solid for Firestar content.
. . .
Godzilla vs Avengers. Apparently DCBS listed Godzilla vs X-Men as part of the April solicts and not the May ones like these imply, so double check that. If Kitty Pryde shows up in Godzilla vs X-Men, I’ll eBay it.
This is circa the Bendis All New Avengers, so this should be fun. It will have Wolverine in it. So maybe the Astonishing X-Men will show up? I doubt it.
Imperial 1 of 4, Hickman doing more space stuff. If the X-Men show up, I’ll be more interested.
Marvel Knights : Words to Come 1 of 6, written by both Joe Quesada and Christopher Priest, so this is heavy on Black Panther EXCEPT! it is a story about T’Challa being dead, and how that changes everything. If the X-Men show up, I’ll be more interested.
New Thunderbolts* 1, I like Laura being on this team.
*New Dark Avengers
Giant Size Dark Phoenix Saga 1, Ms. Marvel going back to this story is questionable. Ideally, she’ll go back a tad earlier and see Kitty Pryde, or maybe at least reference her? That’ll be nice.
Giant Size Age of Apocalypse 1, I’ll be tempted to preorder this if I knew AoA Shadowcat was going to be there, but she’s on the cover.
Emma Frost : The White Queen, 1 of 5, back to her Hellfire Club origin days, which I don’t love. There is a mole, so is she going to learn about Sage early? But is cool with it?
Death of the Silver Surfer,1 of 5, killing him off to replace with him a Lady Surfer in time for the Fantastic Four movie?
One World Under Doom, 5 of 9, I wouldn’t mind if this event ends with everyone being cool with Doom ruling, now that he’s saved everyone a few times. Issue 2 was pretty great.
Runaways, 1 of 5, always happy to see a new Runaways project, even if it is Doom related.
Doom’s Division, 4 of 5, a character died last issue?! I hope it wasn’t Karma.
Avengers 27, has the new Masters of Evil, and I love three of those members, so I’m excited to read more with them.
Marvel Rivals : Ignite 1, Peach Momoko writing and on art?! Yes please.
Jeff the Land Shark, 1 of 5, I’ll be checking this out for who guest stars each issue. No Lockheed on any of the covers.
. . .
My first lock purchase of June! Kitty Pryde is on a cover, so that gets me to buy it. I can’t wait to see what her chapter is about. Most likely her and Nina on a date.
. . .
Ultimate Spider-Man Incursion, 1 of 5, Miles is coming to the New Ultimate Universe, and Ultimate Wolverine is on one of the covers. If Miles meets a Kitty Pryde, I’m buying that issue.
Ultimate X-Men 16 deals with a new mutant cult! How many can there be?! At least two.
. . .
Okay, I might regret not buying issue 5, but I’m a lock for that variant cover with Kitty Pryde and Gambit by Sandford Greene. I’m just so happy to know Ultimate Kitty Pryde survived the third issue! It states they are returning faces, so maybe they are not in the fifth issue?
. . .
Ghost Rider vs Galactus 1 is silly.
. . .
X-Men 17 & 18, double shipping still. 18 promises to have a Magik variant cover, so maybe I’ll seek that one out by Corin Howell. 17 has a Pride cover, so maybe I should be keeping an eye out for those as well.
Storm 9 is still dealing with Eternity.
Phoenix 12, we’re getting Sara Grey content, ya’ll!
Weapon X-Men, 5 of 5, going back to when Thunderbird died, it sounds like, and promising some unexpected guest stars.
Laura Kinney : Wolverine 7, or 75 if you’re nasty. Now that NYX is over, this series becomes where we go for Wolverine/Hellion content. or Hellverine as I like to call them.
Uncanny X-Men 16, Louisiana X-Men have to save the Outliers from the darkness, and we learn more about The Endling.
Psylocke 8, seems like Magik is only guesting in 7.
. . .
I’m getting that Dani cover, for sure! Guest Starring The Goblin Queen of Limbo herself, Madelyne Pryor?! Yes please!
. . .
I’ll probably take a chance on the Pride cover being Kitty Pryde focus, as that would be a giant missed opportunity there. Or the Matteo Lolli variant, but I don’t need a Sinister cover.
I wonder what Emma will sacrifice?! Probably not great timing we’re getting a villain miniseries from her right now.
. . .
Wolverine 10 promises a classic X-Men villain.
. . .
I wonder who the Dark X-Men consist of? Nice to know we have a Magik variant cover, I’ll see how much that costs.
. . .
X-Men : Demons and Death 1, physically printing X-Men From the Ashes 7 – 12, that is nicely timed with the Magik arc.
Hellverine 7 has Hell Hulk and the Hell Warriors, whoever they are.
West Coast Avengers 8, Ultron vs Ultron, and Flagsmasher has most likely been creating his own Masters of Evil.
. . .
If the Amanda Conner cover is reasonably price, I’m getting that one. Might be my first cover of hers. I don’t need another solo Wolverine cover.
I wonder what status quo can Claremont be changing in a retro series?
. . .
Predator vs Spider-Man, 3 of 4, I like Kraven the Hunter being involved. That just makes spider-sense.
. . .
Okay, this feels like June will be a big month for me.
Marvel United : A Pride Special
Ultimate Wolverine 6, Kitty Pryde cover
Magik 6, Dani cover
Exceptional X-Men 10, Pride Variant
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time 3
Wolverine and Kitty Pryde 3, Amanda Connor Variant
X-Men 18, Magik Variant
I do have to write, that using DCBS and only really getting one cover per issue, my orders have yet to be over $25, including shipping, so that’s been feeling pretty great.
My Wishlist is down to four comics, and three of those are over $30 variant covers, so I feel like my back issue purchasing is winding down, right when I’m picking up on monthly comics, so that feels right and nice.
What are you interested in getting, dear reader?
Shadow and Flame with Magik
