Looking Forward - Marvel's November Solicitations

Once again we hop in the wayforward machine to see what delectibles the House of Ideas will be dropping on Turkey Month.

ULTIMATE POWER #2 (of 9)
Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS
Pencils and Cover by GREG LAND
The Squadron Supreme has invaded the Ultimate Universe seeking revenge, and Earth strikes back with its biggest guns! It's the smackdown of the year as the Squadron Supreme go toe-to-toe with the Ultimates, Ultimate Fantastic Four, Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Spidey himself. And neither world will survive unscathed. You cannot miss it!
While I'm really looking forward to this series, I think putting three different writers on one 9 issue mini may have been a mistake.

ONSLAUGHT REBORN #1 (of 5)
Written by JEPH LOEB
Pencils and Cover by ROB LIEFELD
50/50 Variant Cover by MICHAEL TURNER
Every time I see this project mentioned I expect to see Joey Q leap out of the shadows and yell "Fooled Ya", or that this is something Warren Ellis wrote to parody the industry.

ASTONISHING X-MEN #19
Written by JOSS WHEDON
Pencils and Cover by JOHN CASSADAY
50/50 Variant cover by JOHN CASSADAY
"UNSTOPPABLE!" Part 1 (of 6)
Strap yourselves in, folks! It's the beginning of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's final arc on Astonishing X-Men! After the shocking and brain-smashing events of last issue, the X-Men are off to protect the Earth from its destruction at the hands of the Breakworld. And when it's all over, nothing will ever be the same! No really, we mean it! Whedon & Cassaday prove they are more than Astonishing: They are UNSTOPPABLE!
My favorie cover this month. But does it confirm that they're really changing Cyclops' powers?

UNCANNY X-MEN #480
Written by ED BRUBAKER
Penciled by CLAYTON HENRY
Cover by JOHN WATSON
"THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SHI'AR EMPIRE"
The foundations of the mighty Shi'Ar are shaken! Vulcan is here! His first test, the Imperial Guard! It's Vulcan vs. Gladiator. The victor will decide the fate of an entire galaxy! Part 6 (of 12)!
We had an example of a good (maybe great) cover, and now we have an example of a bad cover. Note to publishers: Not all cover painters are good!

As I was picking solicits to highlight/mock I thought the list seemed a little light, then I rememberd the Great Civil War Delay pushed close to a dozen books out of November. No Amazing, no FF, no Frontline, no Civil War. Makes for a short list.
