Jen Contino has posted a Marvel "Press Release" at The Pulse.

No word on the exact length of exclusivity.

She-Hulk is mentioned as returning in October.

Of particular interest to me was mention of a new ongoing by Dan, featuring a "top-tier" character. Let the speculation begin... [Big Grin]

OMG. Bad news for DC, as I will instantly try anything with Slott's name attached to it, even.... *shudder*... a "top tier" Marvel character.

It's another evil plot. First they get us with Giffen on the Defenders, now they'll probably put Slott on something featuring Wolverine!

AUUUUGH! [Mad]

Please, Cramey, I -beg- you... don't even joke. [Frown] [Shudder]


That's not speculation... it's desecration. Defamation. And would lead me to self-mutilation. [Wink] [No] [LOL]

Never read Wolverine #102.5, eh? Written by Dan Slott, art by Mark Buckingham [Razz]

*NB: This seriously exists

That must have been published before I became a Slott fanboy, so I'm excused from reading it.

For real real, Marvel is becoming THE place for "FUN" comics lately, a niche that DC always seemed to hold on to in the past.

ALPHA FLIGHT was a huge departure from previous, duller versions of that series. It wasn't successful, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good. And this coming from someone who isn't a fan of Scott Lobdell.

SHE-HULK, is, of course, a shining star in Marvel's over-X'ed, over-Ultimized line of books. We have GREAT LAKES AVENGERS coming up, and I predict the Giffen/Maguire DEFENDERS will be a big hit.

Sure, DC has the "Can't Believe It's Not the JLA" arc currently in JLA CLASSIFIED, but Marvel's kicking their butts in general in the Fun Dept.!

Although... if LSH # 2 & 3 are any indication, Waid & Kitson may be able to lay claim to having DC's current "FUN" comic.

With the exception of ICBINJLA and Waid's LSH, DC seems to be making it their mandate to de-funny their comics line. Using the seriously UNfunny ID Crisis as the starting point and launching pad for NU-DC all but guarantees that. pbpbpbppbbpt [Razz] to NO FUN COMICS!
Just for that, I hope Giff takes Ambush Bug with him to Marvel... We'd have a better chance of Toy Biz releasing a ML Buggy fig than we ever will of DC Direct, that's for sure. [Frown]

It's been YEARS since I've purchased an Iron Man comic.

But if Slott writes it, I will.

Actualllllllly...

what with his recent EXCELLENT cameo in She-Hulk, and sure-to-be whacked out turn by Giffen in DEFENDERS, maybe Slott could relaunch DR. STRANGE?

I bet he'd rock on a HERCULES series too. I *loved* his Hercules in She-Huk.

But I don't think the Doc and Herky qualify as "top tier". Iron Man does, though.

I had spent some time collecting back issues of Iron Man because i was never a fan of Marvel as a kid. I had collected back before the Armour Wars and had a line on a huge set of others. Then they did the Hero's reborn, or something, and then he was a teen ager again, and then they started back with some quality with Busiek and Chen. And it was good.

Thennnnnnnn, all hell came about, and the book was as bad as Hulk after David left, and that horrible new daredevil.

I left the book highly saddened by the stunning and sudden lack of quality.

I keep checking in on it, but honestly, its not something that appeals to me. Wish they would do something that i could get behind again, though.

Like Shulkie, lol. That book has got to be one of the best finds in years.

Slott interview at Toon Zone:

http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=2213

You've got to love a guy who's favourite number is "a zillion". Slott on Shulkie:

"It’s book that revels in what a cool place the Marvel Universe really is—its rich history—and its amazing cast of characters. It’s got weird ideas, old school action, a lot of done-in-one stories, and—most importantly—it’s FUN! C’mon! Where else are you going to see shrunken super-villains, androids playing board games, and J. Jonah Jameson in a chicken suit?! AND have it be in continuity?"

Count me in as a major Slott fanboy now.

Lash, I highly, highly reccomend Spider-Man/Human Torch--as funny as She-Hulk IMO! I'll post a review of it tomorrow or soon in the thread Pov started for it. I just read #1 and 2 last night...absolutely outright hysterical. I love it...and talk about having a grasp on Spidey and Johnny!

Slott on Iron Man would just be awesome. I'm a huge Iron Man and Thor fan, and wish they'd have a few years of greatness that really overdue to them...

To clarify: they've had decent runs here and there, but neither title has been amazing in a long time.

For example: Warren Ellis on Iron Man now--a good read, but comes out every three months. Feh! I don't count it.

Jurgens/Romita on Thor--not bad, but not exactly the run that blew my socks off. Eventually it turned into a rehasing of old Simonson stories.

There are a dozen other examples that come to mind...I wish someone like Slott could revitalize ol' Shell Head!
