This is a short version of Pipeline Previews this month. It's a holiday
week, and I don't want to be working. And, judging from historical hit
data, you don't want to be reading, either. I'd pretend that doesn't
hurt, but I can't lie to you. You're far too nice.
Instead, I'll be presenting fourteen interesting trades and hardcovers for March 2005.
(excerpt)
These are presented in no particular order.
AVENGERS ASSEMBLE, Volume 2 (Marvel, $29.99) collects issues
#12-22 of the current series, along with issue #0 and the 1999 Annual.
You get both the three-parter done by Jerry Ordway and plenty more of
the Busiek/Perez greatness that guided the era. As a bonus, those extra
issues included have art from Stuart Immonen and Leonardo Manco.
Marvel Comics has provided CBR News with covers and solicit information for product shipping March, 2005.
AVENGERS ASSEMBLE VOL. 2 HC
Written by KURT BUSIEK with JERRY ORDWAY & JOHN FRANCIS MOORE
Penciled by GEORGE PÉREZ with JERRY ORDWAY, STEWART IMMONEN & LEONARDO MANCO
Cover by GEORGE PÉREZ
The European country of
Slorenia is dead. Every man, woman and child, eliminated with the cold
precision of a machine. And out of the flaming remnants of this tiny
Baltic state comes a message from its murderer: Mankind's days are
numbered…because Ultron has returned! He - or it - is one of the
Avengers' oldest, most implacable foes, menacing humanity countless
times. But never before has Ultron been this dangerous, this deadly.
Now, he stands on the brink of committing global genocide, and
rebuilding Earth in his own robotic image. Our only hope is a desperate
U.N. strike on Slorenia, led by the Avengers themselves. But will it be
in time? Will the strength and courage of Earth's Mightiest Heroes be
enough in the face of such overwhelming evil? For the sake of the world,
it will have to be! Plus: When you're an Avenger, you're one of Earth's
Mightiest Heroes - the first line of defense against the dangers no
conventional foe could halt, the threats no ordinary man could
withstand. Threats including Dominex, Lord Templar, Pagan and the
Thunderbolts! Collects AVENGERS #12-22, #0 and ANNUAL 1999
