Marvel August Solicits – Too Funny Not to Share


From the solicitation released by Marvel Comics we got:

THE SUPERIOR FOES OF SPIDER-MAN #2
NICK SPENCER (W) • STEVE LIEBER (A)
Cover by ED MCGUINNESS
Variant Cover by PHIL JIMENEZ

• With superior villains come superior problems as the year’s sleeper hit continues!
• Out of bail and aiming to stay out of jail, Boomerang must get his cronies on target – but does the PUNISHER have them targeted already?
• Nick Spencer (AVENGERS) and Steve Lieber (HAWKEYE) continue this most evil exploration into the Marvel U!
32 PGS./Rated T+ ...$2.99


So what is so funny   “as the year’s sleeper hit continues!

Now that takes some incredible moxie to type that bullsh*t when the first issue has even come out yet. Marketing copy writing cracks me up. I mean you could at least reign it in a little and say “what we thing will be the sleeper hit of the year”, but the blatant bold face lie cracks me up.

  1. I like the fact that the sniper has such bad aim that he/she can only hit Boomerang's shoulder. Ya think he/she would be a better aim if they were hunting super villians.
