A little slow this week in releases from Marvel. However, there are a couple of noteworthy releases that I am looking forward to and you should be, too.

First, the second Marvel release from European publisher Soleil entitled Universal War One starts its 3 issue mini-series this week. The major reason I am excited for this one is due to the quality of Sky Doll, the first Marvel release of a Soleil comic. I thought that Sky Doll was going to be good, but I didn’t expect it to be as awesome as it really is. I can only expect the same high-standards from their second release. And this one is a little more aimed toward the typical comic audience. The basic plot as I understand it is there is a war between planets and some sort of black hole-ish wall has formed in the solar system. Sounds pretty epic. And if you are scoffing at the $5.99 price, remember that the Soleil comics are almost double the size of the American comics.

The other release I am looking forward to is the end of the aforementioned Sky Doll. I cannot say enough how much this series impressed me. The art is beautiful and unique and the story is completely out there while still being amazingly immersive. I am excited to see how this series is going to end. I really am amazed that they ended it in only 3 issues, as the story is just getting good. But hopefully there will be a nice conclusion.

Oh yeah, and I can’t forget about Mighty Avengers #16. Look forward to more Bendis goodness as he tells more Secret Invasion backstory of how our favorite heroes became Skrulls. This month focuses on how Elektra, the first Skrull revealed to us, came to be. Seriously, New and Mighty Avengers are almost as good as the main Secret Invasion storyline at this point. Bendis is doing such a great job creating a well-rounded story by including these little flashbacks to fill in the gaps.

That’s it for my weekly previews folks. Don’t forget to visit your local shop tomorrow and pick up the latest releases. Happy reading!
