Marvel Solicits: October '06

Get the full list of Marvel's books at Comic Book Resources. Here are the highlights...

Hellstorm: Son of Satan #1 (of 5) - Novelist Alexander Irvine brings Daimon Hellstorm back to the Marvel Universe in a new MAX mini-series with art by Russel Braun and Klaus Janson.

Ultimate Power #1 (of 9) - Brian Michael Bendis gives us a new Ultimate mini with art and covers by Greg Land. Here, the Fantastic Four punch a hole through to the Supremeverse.

Amazing Spider-Girl #0 - In case you missed the 100-issue run of Tom DeFalco's Spider-Girl, here's the cliffnotes version. The full story of May "Mayday" Parker retold to get you up-to-date for the relaunch.

Amazing Spider-Girl #1 - And here's the debut issue of the relaunch...

The Irredeemable Ant-Man #1 - A new (ongoing?) series by Robert Kirkman and Phil Hester featuring, as the solicit says "the world's worst superhero."

Doctor Strange: The Oath #1 (of 5) - Brian K. Vaughan writes a five-issue Dr. Strange mini as the good doctor attempts to uncover who attempted to murder him.

Criminal #1 - The new Icon series by Ed Brubaker debuts with art by Sean Phillips in a crime noir book well-suited for the team.

Marvel Masterworks: Atlas Era Tales of Suspense (Volume One) - That's a mouthful. But big monsters from the talent of Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, Steve Ditko and more...could be super-cool.

Doctor Strange vs. Dracula: The Montesi Formula TP - Didn't Apocalypse just get into it with Dracula? That man loves a fight. This trade paperback reprints Tomb of Dracula #44 as well as Doctor Strange #14 and #58-62. Hopefully releasing this doesn't spoil any surprise murderers-to-be in the new mini from Brian K. Vaughan.

Giant-Size Wolverine #1 - David Lapham and David Aja bring us a "Halloween" story featuring the old Canucklehead in the "House of Blood and Sorrow." This giant-sized issue also reprints X-Men #6-7 with art by Jim Lee, featuring Omega Red and Sabertooth.

Essential Marvel Horror (Volume One) - And Marvel is so ready to cash in on reprints with the new Son of Satan mini-series debuting this month. Not only does this Essential feature Daimon Hellstorm, but his sister Satana as well, from a mixed bag of Marvel titles across the board, including Ghost Rider, Vampire Tales, Haunt of Horror, Marvel Two-In-One and Son of Satan #1-8.

Thor, the Mighty Avenger #1-3

Roger Langridge & Chris Samnee With all of the buzz out there about how great this incarnation of Thor is, I decided to check this series out for myself.  Only after I ordered the first few issues, it was promptly cancelled by Marvel due to low sales, which is unfortunate since it hardly had much time to build word of mouth, but that's the way the industry works sometimes (and to be fair, its first issue sold over 20,000 copies (placing #104 for the month) while its latest sold about 8,400 (placing at #186), so it was bleeding readers).  My only real issue there is it seems that people who hear about a book tend to buy the collection rather than hunt back issues, so I kind of feel like a book like this, especially for young readers, should have had a chance in another format before it got the axe.  The last issue of Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard placed just ahead of Thor, the Mighty Avenger in November at #185, but its collection ranked #15 for the month.  Another a
