Looks like were going to lose a lot of new characters.

They'll come back. They always do.

And by the way, DC did this a few years ago with the "Terror Titans" mini-series, which was quite excellent - captured powered teens, forced to battle each other, drugged out of their minds so they cannot escape.

On another note, if "Killers" refers to Thunderbolts (I am guessing that is so?) led by Red Hulk, does "Wanted" refer to the Red She-Hulk series?

Tehre is not enough 'ugh' for my reaction to this series.

Lightning was the Thunderbolts one.

Killers and Wanted have yet to be revealed, but it won't be Rshulk as that's already been solicited.

Actually, i am quite pleased that I didn't know that!

Wanted revealed

No clue what happened to Dr.Nemesis

[Phil]

Which means Killers will be Uncanny X-Force #1...

Cable's new arm is ridic and Forge is currently dead, going to pass on that series

[Phil]

Mate, all of Alpha Flight have been dead...

[-K-M-]

Ok?

[Phil]

Was just a general lighthearted comment on the 'death' of comic characters and that if we stopped buying books where the main characters have died... well, there'd be a hell of a lot less books...

[-K-M-]

Oh Im not picking this up as it looks terrible, not because they havent explained Forge as I'm sure they will*. If it gets good word of mouth I will give it a try, but as it stands it looks bad.

*Though lately Marvel has been bad explaining characters returning such as Drax, Man-Ape, Starlord, Thanos, etc and made no mention how they returned from the Cancer Universe or returned from the dead.

[Phil]

They could quite easily have used Jeffries in the Forge role, so be thankful they didn't!

[-K-M-]

haha very true.
