"Frank Tieri is writing a Weapon X follow-up and a Hercules project."

Yay! Looks like Chamber and Cecilia Reeves will get some resolution after all. The fans obviously did some good this time round. :D

Happy bunny.

"Buckley said art on four issues of The Ultimates has been completed, with two of the issues colored."

Okay, well considering they said they were going to have 6 issues COMPLETED before they even solicited the new series, this isn't impressive. I'll be skipping this one.

"Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev will end their run on Daredevil at the end of next year. Buckley said a new creative team has not been chosen."

Bugger...

"Buckley said he thinks the second arc by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday on Astonishing X-Men will be better than the first. "It has one of the coolest takes on a villain ever," Buckley said."

Hmm, well I'm hoping the hint at the ned of last issue was a red herring. If Emma's turning I really am going to be very disappointed.

"Runaways will return in February, the same month as the third digest from the first series. "

May start picking this up monthly with the new series.

"Buckley said there are no current plans for Moon Knight."

Feel the apathy.

"Bryan Singer's Ultimate X-Men stories remain a go; Buckley said he wants to get as many scripts as possible done before launching them."

IE: More than just a promise of him getting round to it sometime.

"Schmidt said he hopes to do more Madrox stories with Peter David."

Sounds good to me. It's been enjoyable so far.

"Buckley said that more covers will be of the story-telling nature, as witnessed by recent covers to Amazing Spider-Man. He said there will still be "icon covers" because they work well with trade paperbacks."

My god, cover that have something to do with the story inside? Surely not!

"The Young Avengers title will debut in February and is part of a push by Marvel for new characters. "We want to go out on a limb a little more," Buckley said."

I actually might pick this up. Looks fun.

"Buckley called X23, created by Craig Kyle, "the most disturbing pitch -- and one of the best -- I've seen this year."

Nice art... Doubt I'll pick this up. Maybe in trade form.

"The remaining issues Joe Quesada's Daredevil: Father are still unscheduled. "It will all happen in 2005, I can guarantee you that," Buckley said."

Uh..huh.

Daredevil

One of the rumors is that the creative team for Daredevil after Bendis could be Brubaker and Lark.

Still just a rumor of course, but that might be a team that'd keep me reading. (Well, Brubaker anyway... Lark's fine, but if I can suffer through Maleev, the artist doesn't matter a whole lot to me. ;))

Hmm, that sounds like it has potential. Brubaker's Catwoman started dtrong but to be honest it's lost it's way since they dropped the 'golden age' cartoony art style and went to a more generic DC art style. He -could- be good, but maybe he's run out of gritty crimefighter stories he can tell. I'm not overjoyed by that news.
