Marvel sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of New Avengers Annual #3, that finds Clint Barton in a bit of tight spot.
Marvel has announced that Dark Reign: The List – Hulk has sold out at the distributor level, and is going back to press.
This time, the Hulk Family is up against Norman Osborn’s right hand herself, Victoria Hand! But she’s not alone—Moonstone (AKA the new Ms Marvel) is along for a battle of both minds and mettle! When Bruce Banner and Skaar come a knockin’ on a secret HAMMER facility’s door, smashing ensues! Nothing will ever be the same for Banner and Skaar!
The variant issue, featuring a cover by Paul Pelletier, arrives November 25, 2009.
Or – “When Venom Is The Voice Of Reason, Something Is Very, Very Wrong…”
“Wait, we’ve been bought out by WHO?”
Or would that be whom? I can never remember. But, man, the Dark Avengers certainly look surprised to see something, don’t they?
It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Marvel has once again announced one of their titles has sold out at the distributor level. This time is it Dark Reign: The List – X-Men that will feature a variant cover by Alan Davis. The reprint will arrive on November 11, 2009 with a cover price of $3.99.
Arriving in stores in two weeks is Marvel’s Dark Reign: The List – Hulk, featuring the green goliath bringing the smack down to Norman Osborn. Marvel sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek that you can see after the jump.
Or – “Hey, Vent! You Ready To Move Out?”
When you read monthly comic books the way that I do, often times you get to the point where you feel like you know what’s coming, when every title feels like you’ve read it before. On the other hand, you have the odd experience where you read a title or issues that you KNOW you’ve read before, but you cannot for the life of you remember how it’s supposed to end. With over a hundred monthly titles coming out, sometimes you need to play catchup, you need to go where everybody knows your name to the land of the Rapid Fire Revieeeeewwww!

Or – “More Colons Than Your Average Proctologist…”
One of the only missteps of the whole Dark Reign crossover, for me, has been the characterization of Clint Barton, the hero now known as Ronin. As Hawkeye, he was willing to leave his beloved wife over the implication that she even ALLOWED someone to die, much less committed murder, and now he’s willing to kill Norman Osborn to prove a point? It’s an odd change of characterization for me, which makes the whole thing questionable. What’s the Marvel equivalent of a Tom Welling Prime punch?
Or -”Want To Know How To Maximize Profitability?”
How about a cover featuring not ONE, but TWO Wolverine cameos, while simultaneously containing no Wolverine at all? It’s sort of like the state of having Tea and No Tea at the same time, causing the universe to implode… That’s deep, Ogre.
Who’s looking forward to Marvel’s The List series? (Quiet you, it’s supposed to be a rhetorical question) It’s supposed to be a big component of Dark Reign, and it kicks off in Dark Reign: The List Part One: Avengers arriving in stores on September 9, 2009. Marvel sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the issue, that you can see after the jump.
Marvel is on a roll with the Frank Cho variant covers for the upcoming Dark Reign: The List series, this time featuring Namor for the Dark Reign: The List Part Three – X-Men issue.
Or – “Sir, I Protest! I Am NOT A Merry Man!!!”
Once again, we’ve come to the situation where Stately Spoilers Manor contains far more comics than there are days to review ‘em, leading once again unto the Final Frontier… NUQNEH – NOOKNEHH! Phasers on summarize!

While not a huge crossover event, Secret Warriors #7 and #8 are crossing over into issues #135 and #136 of the Thunderbolts series as Nick Fury takes the fight to Norman Osborn.
Editor Bill Rosemann explained, “Nick Fury vs. Norman Osborn? The Secret Warriors vs. the Thunderbolts? Andy Diggle and Jonathan Hickman trying to one-up one another? Miguel Sepulveda and Alessandro Vitti out for blood? Something tells me this is going to get messy”
And if you are going to have variant covers, you might as well flaunt them as much as you can, and Major Spoilers is happy to help. Take the jump for a look at Dark Reign: The List Part One: Avengers and Dark Reign: The List Part Two: Daredevil.
I doubt the coming event in the 616 is going to be as universe ending as in Ultimate universe, but Norman Osborn is set to reveal is master plan for Marvel in 2010, and it begins with The List series.
The List. This eight-issue limited series, comprised of eight double-sized specials, leads Marvel fans to the changes in store for the world’s most popular super heroes! The Iron Patriot decides there are things wrong with the world, things that need to be handled and when he’s done, the stage is set for the biggest comic book event of the next decade! It all begins in September with the first three The List issues—Avengers, Daredevil and X-Men!
