We're back to take a look at some more advance trade paperback listings from Marvel Comics, including the X-Men: Deadly Genesis premiere hardcover, a stack of House of M collections (including House of M: Aftermath), the new Captain Universe series, as well as a bunch of as-yet-unannounced titles such as Nextwave (rumored to be Warren Ellis' new team book), Angel: Fallen, and Silver Sable/Dominic Fortune.


But first, the all-important...

Now, on with the show...

Online e-tailer Amazon.com has recently listed another batch of upcoming trades and graphic novels from Marvel Comics, and we've gone and rounded up the information for you. As always with these lists, remember that details are often sparse, titles are often tentative, and because of the advance nature some projects may never see publication.

That said, on with the lists!

Let the discussion commence...

[Patrick James]

A Cloak & Dagger collection? Interesting... Perhaps a new series coming down the chute?

And Angel: Fallen...as in Warren? Now that could be either REALLY good, or REALLY bad, depending on who's involved and what the story entails. But at this point, I'm all ears.

Also, what is this Vision: Yesterday and Tomorrow business about? Last time I checked, the Vision was still extra dead (though looking to make a comeback in Young Avengers, in some way or another).

And it's good to see that the GLA trade will include the first appearance of the team in WCA. Good reading.

Otherwise, some interesting arc titles. I particularly like "House of Broken Dreams."

[Ice_cold_emma_frost2]

So does this mean that Storm and BP are getting married?

Could be to all the above. That's the problem with these advance listings - they're very light on details!

Also, what is this Vision: Yesterday and Tomorrow business about?

I think that was the Avengers Icons mini.

[Patrick James]

Still...an odd time to release a trade; character who is dead and mini-series that was released years ago (and not even well-sold).

[Ice_cold_emma_frost2]

And Angel: Fallen...as in Warren? Now that could be either REALLY good, or REALLY bad, depending on who's involved and what the story entails. But at this point, I'm all ears.

Interestingly enough, Fallen was Warren's name in the Mutant X world that Havok traveled to.

[Zachary J. Morrison]

I look forward to learning more about these upcoming trades/hardcovers.

[Storm_1118]

All I can say is "Oh my poooooor wallet..."

Well, I guess I do have more to say. :) X-Factor and Excalibur getting collected as trades??? I am X-STATIC! I hope Marvel publishes the whole series! I am so tired of black and white Essentials, bring on the color!!

[BadMotives]

Good to see Iron Man: HOM and FF:HOM being collected as one TBP.
FF :HOM #1 was great. I'm looking for the rest of it. Iron Man:HOM on the other hand was nearly unbearing. Very bad art.

[plewis]

A Cloak & Dagger collection? Interesting... Perhaps a new series coming down the chute?


I thought rumors of a new Cloak & Dagger series of any kind was explicitly nixed at last weekend's convention. This would be a bummer, but still.

By the way, I thought that the release schedule was really screwed up until I realized that you had the date furthest out published first. I guess I shouldn't drink and read.

Peace.

[Storm_1118]

Did anyone else notice that New Avengers Vol. 2 and 3 are HC and that New Avengers Vol. 1 is not??? I hope 2 and 3 are not ONLY traded as HC. Also, New X-Men: Academy X Vol. 4 comes out before Vol. 3...a little strange...

[DCUnited]

Go back and take another look at the list. I think it threw several people, but the release dates go backwards. So volume 3 comes out a few months before volume 4 even though volume 4 appears first on the list.

[Storm_1118]

January 2006:
New X-Men: Academy X Vol. 3: X-Posed TPB (collects New X-Men: Academy X #12-15, New X-Men: Academy X Special)

December 2005:
House of M: New X-Men TPB (collects New X-Men: Academy X #16-19)


New X-Men: Academy X 12-15 comes out AFTER issues 16-19.

[DntWryBoutMyNme]

Spider-Man/Black-Cat: Evil That Men Do...

Isn't that the mini-series that Kevin Smith never even finished after, like one issue? And they're solciting a TPB?

Does this mean that Kevin Smith is actually going to finish the mini?

::Looks outside to see if pigs are flying around his house::

[Matt Lazorwitz]

Yeah, I was about to say the same thing about Spidey/Black Cat. I wonder of this is what Terry Dodson is doing, now that he's off MK Spidey. We can only hope. Now all we have to see is the end of DD: The Target...

[Gary Miller]

Just a thought: The Cloak & Dagger collection may well be reprints of the first 6 appearances of the duo, from Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #64, 69-70, 81-83. But I could be wrong...

Essential Zombie looks to be good.

~G.

[Jesse Baer]

I know it's all just considered rumor right now, but I'm really excited about several of these trades.

Trades I'll be getting:
Essential X-Factor Vol. 1 TPB (collects X-Factor #1-16, Annual #1, Avengers #262, Fantastic Four #286, Thor #373-374, Power Pack #27)- very excited, I've got the whole Phoenix Rising and a few of the first issues of X-Factor in comic form, and I really liked where the series was going, pretty well written

Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 10: New Avengers TPB (collects Amazing Spider-Man #519-524)

Ultimates 2 Vol. 2 TPB

Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 11 TPB (collects Amazing Spider-Man #525-52?)

Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 15 TPB (collects Ultimate Spider-Man #85-90)

Essential Official Handbook of The Marvel Universe Vol. 1 TPB (collects OHOTMU #1-15)- Maybe

and I may pick up a few more

[Dylan McKay]

Nextwave Vol. 1 TPB -Probably grab this in singles...
Essential Official Handbook of The Marvel Universe: Deluxe Edition Vol. 1 TPB-Collections of handbooks? That is seriously weird.
Silver Sable/Dominic Fortune TPB -Wasn't expecting a return of Silver Sable...
Spider-Man/Black Cat: Evil That Men Do Marvel Premiere HC-I don't believe it.
Fantastic Four: Invulnerable TPB -Wha? Curious...

[Paul Shinn]

Ultimate Galactus Vol. 3: Extinction TPB (collects Ultimate Galactus #1-6)
Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane Digest - if this is the new Sean McKeever mini, then yep!
Sentinel Digest - definitely gonna pick up the singles of this instead!
Spider-Man/Black Cat: Evil That Men Do Marvel Premiere HC - believe it when I see it!
Ultimates 2 Vol. 2 TPB ...oooo, so the Ultimates vol.2 HC can't be far behind!!
House of M TPB (collects House of M #1-8) - maybe...
House of M: Mutopia X TPB (collects Mutopia X #1-5) - perhaps. I've passed on the singles, but might get the collected edition...
Guardians Vol. 1 Digest
X-Factor Vol. 1 TPB (collects X-Factor #71-75) - does this include the psychatrist issue?

[Dylan McKay]

X-Factor Vol. 1 TPB (collects X-Factor #71-75) - does this include the psychatrist issue?

No, that's 88 or 89...

[Corey Blake]

Can I have the link for the Cloak & Dagger listing? I'd like to keep an eye on it and I can't seem to find it from my Amazon searches.

[Gary Miller]

No, that's 88 or 89...
It's actually X-Factor #87.

~G.

[hondo]

Ultimate Galactus Vol. 3: Extinction TPB (collects Ultimate Galactus #1-6) sounds really kewl

Captain America Vol. 1: Winter Soldier TPB (collects Captain America #1-7) & Captain America Vol. 2: Winter Soldier HC (collects Captain America #8-9, 11-14) quite possibly the best cap in years. Up there with Stern & Byrne's short run in the 80's

Captain America and The Falcon: Secret Empire TPB (collects Captain America and The Falcon #169-176) have always meant to get this

Fantastic Four: Books of Doom TPB (collects Fantastic Four: Books of Doom #1-6) what is this ?

Marvel Knights Spider-Man Vol. 1 HC (collects Marvel Knights Spider-Man #1-12) i have been waiting to get this one !

[Anthony Lucynski]

I don't believe for a second that we have to wait until April for the second Volume of Millar's Wolverine.

Especially since the House of M crap is going to be in Trade long before that...

Anthony L

[Eric J. Moreels]

I don't believe for a second that we have to wait until April for the second Volume of Millar's Wolverine.

And that's why we try and note as strongly as possible that these are very tentative advance listings and that dates, titles, and even content may change. It's also why they're listed in a rumour column ;)
