Dernière des grandes sollicitations à sortir pour le mois d’octobre, Marvel aura donc attendu la fin du Comic-con pour révéler la liste de ses sorties. On peut le comprendre car le mois d’octobre sera assez sensible pour la maison d’édition, avec la fin de plusieurs de ses histoires phares :
– la fin de Fear Itself
– la fin de X-Men Schism
– l’avant dernier épisode de Avengers : children crusade. Comme annoncé lors du comic-con, la synchronicité de ces trois sorties est tout à fait volontaire, car ils sont censés poser les jalons de l’avenir de Marvel pour l’année à venir.
A noter donc aussi le début de la nouvelle série Incredible Hulk par Jason Aaron et Marc Silvestri, tous les titres Ultimates, le relaunch créatif et commercial des X-Men. Mais aussi la double dose de FF signés au dessin par Barry Kitson (ouf), un nouvel épisode de SHIELD.
En somme des bonnes choses chez Marvel en octobre.

Dejah Thoris has yet to meet the love of her life, but she has her hands full with the malicious Sab Than, would-be ruler of Zodanga, who sees kidnapping the princess of Mars as a short-cut to winning the thousand year war between his people and her city of Helium. Meanwhile Tars Tarkas is not yet the leader of his people, but instead an unambitious warrior who is caught between the desires of the female he loves and his best friend who needs Tars’s help to become Jeddak of the Tharks…assuming that his ambitions don’t kill them all. It’s a compelling tale of romance, court intrigue and an unending war on a distant world. Take an unforgettable journey to Barsoom. It’s a trip you can’t afford to miss!

Now, at his absolute lowest point, it will take Tony’s last reservoir of will — and a band of brothers including Thor, Captain America, War Machine and Black Widow — to keep from losing it all and sow the seeds for a brighter tomorrow. Stark Industries’ arms-manufacturing days are over: Tony’s new company, Stark Resilient, is bringing modern tech to the masses without bringing innocent people to their knees. But there’s a competitor on the scene, a mother/daughter team with a very familiar name ready to pick up the slack with an armor called Detroit Steel. They’ve started a deadly game of international intrigue that will bring one of Iron Man’s deadliest foes back into the fray — but for the Hammer girls, that was merely the opening salvo. With War Machine grounded by the Pentagon, Pepper missing the RT-charged heart that made her Rescue and Tony’s Resilient team struggling to put their clean-energy tech into production, they’re about to up the ante. Now, Iron Man’s going to find out just what “resilient” really means. Collecting INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #20-33.

The town of Ash Valley, Washington is massacred overnight, the carefully positioned bodies perplexing local law enforcement. But the gruesome scene is familiar to Asgardians, and there can be only one culprit: the Fenris Wolf. Long ago, Fenris, son of Loki, was imprisoned for slaughtering an entire Viking village, chained away on an island in Niflhel for all eternity — until agents of Advanced Idea Mechanics freed the wolf in the hope of researching his genetics. With the mythical beast set free upon the world and thirsting for vengeance against his Asgardian captors, the combined might of Volstagg, Fandral and Hogun won’t be enough to protect Asgard. As the Asgardian army assembles for its last stand against the monster, the Warriors Three set off on an epic journey to discover the secret to stopping the beast.
