MARVEL:
=======
Running down the fiefdoms:

*2099*
The new title, X-Nation 2099, begins in January. It is by
Tom Peyer and Humberto Ramos.

Spider-Man 2099 #40 (PAD & Wildman/Sienciewicz). You heard it
right. Sienciewicz inks Wildman, which will either make it more
or less palatable by several orders of magnitude. Story? Oh,
Goblin 2099 and the true identity of the Net Prophet.

Doom 2099 (Ellis & Pugh) and X-men 2099 (J.F. Moore & Lim)
continue the "X-Nation" storyline.

Fantastic Four 2099 #2 (Kesel & J. Buscema). Also starring Mig
O'Hara, Herod, and a lot of Stark/Fujikawa troops. "What kind
of world lets Doom become president?" The best kind, Reed.

*Marvel Heroes*
Captain America #448 (Waid & Garney). Concluding the rebirth.
Double-sized. Now that he's back, Cap can be in...

Avengers: Timeslide #1 of 4 (Harras/Kavanaugh & R. Cruz). The
conclusion to "The Crossing". Tie-ins all over the place, as
They Who Assemble strike back at Kang.

Captain Marvel #3 (Nicieza & Benes). X-Treme is ordered by his
Shi'ar masters to stop Genis. Reckon they tie up an X-Force
loose end here.

Avengers Unplugged crosses with FF Unplugged for a big Super-
Adaptoid story.

Thor #495 (Loebs & Deodato). Bill Messner-Loebs picks up where
Warren Ellis left off. Timeslide.

Iron Man #325 (Kavanaugh & Olivera). The good Tony Stark vs. the
evil Tony Stark. Timeslide.

Century: Distant Sons #1 (Abnett/Lanning & Calafiore). One shot
origin of Century.

TotM: Inner Demons (Mariano Nicieza & Wakelin). Retells Johnny 
Storm's discovery of Namor.

Origin of Galactus (Lee & Kirby). Reprint, duh.
*******************ALERT******ALERT*******ALERT**************
The Marvel U. gets destroyed twice in December:

Sergio Aragones Massacres Marvel (Evanier & Aragones). The Groo
Crew returns to Marvel not to praise it but to bury it.

The Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe (Ennis & Braithwaite).
An Elsewor-uh, Alterniverse special by Warren Ellis's Pal,
Garth Ennis(!). The title says it all, really...

*Spider-Man*
[The Spider Artists seem to be getting a handle on the new cos-
tume. It looks significantly less ugly this time around...]

Web of the Scarlet Spider (Skolnick & Karounos) concludes with
#4.

Untold Tales #6 (Busiek & Oliffe). Guest starring Peter's Pal,
the
Human Torch.

The new and deadly Mysterio takes on the new Spidey in the core
books.

Tombstone. Continued in #2 also this month, from Marvel "Edge".

Green Goblin #5 (DeFalco & ?). Goblin vs. Hobgoblin.

What If? #82 (Loebs & A. Williams) What if...J. Jonah adopted
Spider-Man?

Galaxy. Vance-on-Vance crime!

recruits Pietro & Wanda.
