February! Whedon and Cassady will be doing a 6 part bi-monthly arc, starting with issue #13!

New Avengers #16 is a prologue to the next major arc "The Collective." This issue guess stars Alpha Flight in what the magazine says is their final battle!

A condened retelling of the Squadron Supreme's origin will be released, titled Saga of the Squadron Supreme. This will also feature a previewof Squadron Supreme #1.

A six issue limited Series caled Storm, will feature Ororo and Black Panther. This will delve into the previous relationship that was eluded to in the recent X-men/Black Panther x-over.

Ultimate Extinction #2 will see Profrssor X, try to stop Gah Lak Tus with a full blown psychic attack. Plus Ultimate Surfer..............

X-men #182 & 183 will see the return of Apocalypse! (which will be interesting, considering what happened to him during the House of M).

Also Apocalypse will be featured in a 4 issue mini that will pit him, against DRACULA! Enemies since the Crusades, they've met again in 19th Century London.

Ennis will also be doing a 6 part Nick Fury mini, called Fury: Peacemaker.

Anyway, that's a brief look at Marvel in Feb, courtesy of Comic Shop Newsarama!

What happened to Apocalypse in house of M? (isn't he currently dead?)

I like the sounds of the Dracula/Apocalypse thing. I love Marvels Drac!

Well, Apocalypse's mutant power is that he cannot die.

But here's what happened in HOM (spoilers):

Highlight below:



Blackbolt spoke and obliterated Apocalypse. This happened in the Black Panther issue where BP beheaded Sabretooth.

W O W! S-man TOO! Can't believe I didn't hear about that!

I usually enjoy Bendis' stuff, and I've defended him before, but if he destroy Alpha Flight then I don't think I'll be able to forgive him. Ever.

Whatever the plans for Alpha Flight are Bendis WILL do good by them. He was in the comic shop i go to months ago and was emarassed to say that he was looking for old Alpha Flight back issues. So whatever happens at least people won't be able to complain that he doesn't do his homework.

Funny story about that. My friend, who works at one of the comic shops that I buy my comics from, suggested that I pick up the issue, because S-Man is one of my favorite characters, second only to the S-Man in the avatar. He told me to trust him and not to open the book, and he assured me that I would love it. Imagine to my surprise when I saw that happen AGAIN! LOL! It was a good issue, and a nice tie-in to HOM. But he thought it was pretty damn funny...the punk!
