Sneak Peeks: Titles Shipping 3.12.08 (Part I)

There are some real fine reads coming from Marvel next week. Here's a peek at Amazing Spider-Girl #18, Annihilation: Conquest #5, Avengers Fairy Tales #1, Avengers: The Initiative #10, Fantastic Four #555, and Iron Man: Enter The Mandarin #6. If there's anything here you'd like to talk about, stop by the Marvel Noise forum and let your voice be heard!

Stay tuned for another batch of previews for next week.

Amazing Spider-Girl #18
By Tom DeFalco (writer/plotter), Ron Frenz (pencils/plotter), and Sal Buscema (inks)




Annihilation: Conquest #5 (of 6)
By Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning (writers), Tom Raney (pencils), and Scott Hanna (inks)


Avengers Fairy Tales #1
By C. B. Cebulski (writer) and Joao M. P. Lemos (pencils and inks)


Avengers: The Initiative #10
By Dan Slott & Christos N. Gage (writers) and Stefano Caselli (pencils and inks)


Fantastic Four #555
By Mark Millar (writer), Bryan Hitch (pencils and inks), and Paul Neary (inks)



Iron Man: Enter The Mandarin #6
By Joe Casey (writer) and Eric Canete (art)


Initial thoughts:

Amazing Spider-Girl continues to bring that old-school feel. That makes me glad. Annihilation: Conquest has one more issue and then it's over. That makes me sad (but I am interested in seeing what's left after this for the Guardians of the Galaxy series). Avengers Fairy Tales surprises me. And the art is amazing. The Initiative continues one hell of a storyline. I'm still not completely sold on the Millar/Hitch/Neary Fantastic Four, but I think I'm more keen on the writing than the art. And I cannot wait to sit down with a collected Iron Man: Enter The Mandarin. What I've seen (and heard) has been outstanding.
