Hello comics lovers. Here I am back again for the summer. Enjoy me while
I'm here. I've looked into my trusty crystal ball and now I will tell you
all I know concerning the (near) future of the Marvel Universe:

Amazing Spiderman: His costume is alive, as if you didn't already know. I
think it might contain the 'essence'(whatever that is) of that new Spider-
Woman we met in Secret Wars. I figure Spidey will have to learn some mind
control to keep it from dragging him around the city at night.

Peter Parker: Spidey's in for serious trouble in this title. As any good
reader knows, Spiderman has had trouble doing anything more difficult than
tying his shoe. This is because Felicia's powers are a little more than
she bargained for. Somehow she is inflicting bad luck on her boyfriend and
it's getting worse and worse. This is why the Kingpin wants them to stay 
together, so that eventually Spidey gets overwhelmed and falls into a
cement mixer or something. Felicia's gonna die. Too bad.

Iron Man: Either Tony gets the suit back and whips up something new for
Rhodey or he whips something new up for himself.

New Mutants: Karma comes back, Cannonball leaves, Illyana takes over, they
leave Xavier.Yup, that's right. Professor X is too busy beating up bad guys
with the X-MEN to properly teach them. Maybe they'll go over to the Hellfire
Club?

Alpha Flight: Heather takes over as leader of Alpha Flight. Will she become
a super hero, using her late hubby's gear? Even I don't know!

X-Men: Storm gets her powers back in a few months. Xavier takes over(of course)
Kitty comes back hardened from her little adventure with Wolverine(this is
a mini-series that starts this month). Storm finally finds a romantic interest:
Forge. My crystal ball was very hazy on this book. I don't know much else.

Power Man and Iron Fist: Who cares?


	I think I'm pretty much on target with these. Any dissenting opinions?
