I'm still not decided whether to jump on with Assault on New Olympus, I'll decide nearer November when it starts.
Realm of Kings: Imperial Guard #2 (Abnett/Lanning/Walker)
All of DnA's cosmic work for Marvel is brilliant and an essential purchase for me. Its good that as well as developing the Imperial Guard they will also be keeping the Starjammers involved. I wonder if Raza Longknife will rejoin them after being separated from the
symbiote.
Realm of Kings: Inhumans #2 (Abnett/Lanning/Raimondi)
Again, I'm really interested in the Inhumans and look forward to this focus on them. It should also be good to see Quicksilver interacting with the Royal Family again as well as the other Mighty Avengers.
Both Guardians of the Galaxy #21 (Abnett/Lanning/Walker) and Nova #32 (Abnett/Lanning/DiVito) also have guaranteed places on my pull list. Guardians will be good as always, and while I have no idea who the Sphinx is, DnA are very good at establishing characters in a very short space of time and will no doubt make sure to clue readers in.
I bought Ghost Box in hard cover and enjoyed it, though the plot wasn't as engaging as I would have liked the character interaction was brilliant and the art had its moments. I've really become a fan of Warren Ellis recently, and Phil Jimenez' art should be good, so I think I will be getting Astonishing X-Men #33 (Ellis/Jimenez).
I don't think I'll be getting X-Force Annual #1 (Kirkman/Kyle/Yost/Pearson/Barberi) though I may change my mind once I see some previews/reviews.
I've decided not to start collecting X-Men: Legacy straight away, though there's a good chance I will start when it becomes part of Necrosha with #231 (Carey/Mann). #230 (Carey/Acuna) is the end of the first arc with Emplate as the major threat, which I'm not too bothered about following, and also has a Cable back story which puts the price up and I'm not sure what its about. The second issue in December however does interest me, particularly the team of Nightcrawler, Colossus, Psylocke and Rogue, though I'm not sure about the artist.
X-Force #22 (Kyle/Yost/Crain) and New Mutants #8 (Wells/Neves) are both Necrosha issues and while there is a chance I might decide in October to trim some titles from my list including the Necrosha event, I probably will get these issues, though again I'm not sure about the Cable back-up pushing up the price on X-Force.
X-Necrosha: The Gathering (Kyle/Yost/Various) on the other hand, I don't think I will get as Marvel's recent anthology tie-ins haven't seemed that necessary.
S.W.O.R.D. #2 (Gillen/Sanders) is very likely to be on my list, though of course it depends on the first issue.
I'm not sure yet whether I will be rejoining X-Factor with its renumbered relaunch #200 (David/Cansino). I have been enjoying the current story though it does seem to be dragging, but I'm not sure about the high cost of this issue or the new artist and how much will be reprints. The return to the central idea of mutant (now superhero) detective agency does interest me however.
Finally, Wolverine: Weapon X #8 (Aaron/Paquette) should be good, Aaron is one of my favourite writers at the moment and one of the best Wolverine writers around.
