I've seen the future and it scares me.

Today I was able to look at MARVEL's Editorial Preview Guide (Thanx to Wayne @
Time Warp INC.) and the future does not look bright.  Sence reading it, I've 
noticed that some of the things are already in PREVIEWS and ADVANCE COMICS (w/
the nifty Vertigo preview).

Let's see what I remember: (there are no spoilers here)

SECRET DEFENDERS:  Dr. Strange does Mission Impossible.  When Doc can't handle
something, he calls up other heroes to help.  Now, what kind of menace would 
Gambit really be able to help with that Doc couldn't handle on his own?

X-MEN CHRONICLES:  The long feared X-Men quarterly.  First issue features a 
Storm/Cyclops/Prof. X story by Lobdell (yay--not) and Kerry Gammil

CABLE:  The Unlimited Series--hey why not, it will take an unlimited time until
issue 2 of the LS shows up. :-)  One good point, Art Thirbet will do the art.

A New PUNISHER/WOLVERINE story by two people I have never heard of.

THUNDERSTRIKE:  Yes we've known about this, but this needs to be said.  The copy
reads "Defalco has pulled out all of the stops on this one."  I found that funny
Also, the art sample makes Thunderstrike look like Johnny Blaze with a hammer.

IRON MANUAL:  Everything you didn't care to know about Iron Man.

INVADERS:  The hidden stories.  Could be good, but.....

SILVER SURFER/WARLOCK LS:  STARLIN DOES STARLIN--I'll get it!

Oh, on Starlin, His first Thor story has Thor going into OuterSpace--big
surprise,huh.

Lot's o Barbie stuff:  She got her own section.  I didn't look at it.

HELLSTROM, THE PRINCE OF LIES:  Can you say Marvel does Hellblazer?  The
description is that Damian will discover that he's been lied to about lot's of
things.  We'll discover his true place in Hell's Hierarchy. (I was under the
Impression that  Marvel's Hell didn't have a hierarchy, Just Mephisto. Go figure

Evan Dorkin (of Bill&Ted) has a new book coming out.  HeroMan might be the name.I don't remember.

Mike"I let Tom&Mary do whatever they want" Eury WILL be takeing over SHE-HULK 
with 51.  50 (Byrne's last) Will have super gimmicks galore.

There was no mention of Byrne's IRON FIST.


I belive that I saw that Bob (don't get me started with him) Harris will be
taking over NAMOR.  (I think it was Namor, He's taking over SOMETHING)

INFINITY CRUSADE is on the schedual, but it looks like it will have fewer Heroes than I.War did.

There Will be LOTS MORE Marvel Uk stuff.  This is good or bad, depending on how 
you like them.  (I find some of them good)

There will be a DR. WHO classics book, reprinting the stuff from the British run.
EPIC will have the HARROWERS series, spinning of from HELLRAISER.  I liked the
first part of the story, so....  Also HELLRAISER will have a "new commitment to
continuity and will further examine the Hellraiser universe"

And over in MCP, Ann Nocenti and Steve Lightle will team up again with Ann's 
Typhoid Mary for....Ghost Rider/Tyhoid Mary.  This will explore their alter-egos
(Dan & Mary).  Like w/ Wolverine, the concept seems really stupid, but with ANN
writing it, I'll bet good money (1.50) that it'll be good.

That's all that I remember.  If anything else comes up, I'll let y'all know.
(now I gotta go catch up w/ the postings, I'm 500 articles behind, sigh.)
