Anybody getting this? My wallet is really wearing thin with DC's Countdown to Infinite Crisis series and tie-ins, I think I'll just get the main House of M series, the rest of the tie-ins I think I'll just wait for the TPBs.

[rascal_father]

HAHAHA, YEAH ME GETTING THE ENTIRE HOUSE OF MARVEL STORYLINE(SORRY ABOUT THE UPPER CASE, AS VERY INCONVENIENT FOR ME TO SWITCH AROUND DUE TO MY WORK REQUIREMENT. ROOKIYONG, WILL KNOW)

MY PET PREEVE ABOUT ENGLISH COMICS IS THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS SO EXPENSIVE AND HAVE FEWER PAGES THEN THE MANGA. THEY ONLY COMPRESS ALL CRUCIAL INFORMATION INTO FEW PANELS WHICH IS UNLIKED MANGA WHICH TENDS TO ELABORATE OVER SEVERAL PANELS. I LOVE IT WHEN THE MANGA SHOWS OFF HOW THE HEROS FIGHT EACH OTHER OUT OVER SEVERAL PANELS AND AT DIFFERENT ANGLES WHICH THE ENGLISH KIND CAN'T AFFORD. HAIZ

Anybody picked up House of M yet? How's the verdict? Good?

story so so, maybe its marvel take on DC infinite crisis. but story's just started. so have to read a few more to see how its goes. its about wanda losing her hex powers and affecting the present with her reality alteration ability. now the avengers and x-men are debuting on whether to send her to the maker.

[gogetter]

A bit like in Identity Crisis where the Leaguers argued whether to mindwipe criminals. I think I'll just pick up the main 8 issue series, the rest of the tie ins maybe will wait for TPBs if it's really good.

Marvel has provided Newsarama with the cover to House of M #6, shipping in August by Esad Ribic.

The solicitation for both #5 and #6 (both issues ship that month) reads:



"The comic event of the decade continues. The Marvel Universe has indeed been rocked to its very core and more and more rebels join to rise up against what has happened. But can Spider-Man handle the truth about his life as it is and his life as it was? The fallout will shock you! Also, the rebels have gathered and are ready to fight! But who is behind the House?
Guest-starring EVERYONE!!!

This Esad Ribic sure is doing some eye catching covers for the House of M. The variant covers done by some of the most famous comic artist around today don't look near as good.

[Fire]

the house of M....the "M" stands for...marvel? or magneto? looks like magneto to me in the cover art...

[gogetter]

Maximoff maybe, cos it's about Wanda Maximoff, daughter of Magneto. Could also be House of Money, or maybe House of Mouse? :laugh:

house of money sounds capitalist. ka ching.

HINE'S SON OF M MINISERIES ANNOUNCED
Sunday evening, while talking to Fanboy Radio, writer David (Mutopia X) Hine announced that he is writing a six-issue miniseries entitled Son of M, spinning out of House of M. The interiors will be illustrated by Roy Martinez, while John Watson will be handling the covers.

“I’m told that I can say it’s an important spinoff from House of M,” Hine said.

Asked by Newsarama about further details, Marvel confirmed, saying that the first issue of the series will ship in December.

Marvel also provided Newsarama with a page from December's Marvel Previews which eliminates a little of the mystery surrounding the "son" of "M's" identity.

HOUSE of M: DECIMATION

With the information already bubbling around on the internet, Marvel’s House of M: Before and After panel confirmed the larger name of the after-effects of the summer crossover on the Marvel Universe: Decimation.

Prior to the panel, Newsarama sat down with key editors on the titles that spin out of House of M to discuss what’s coming up, and the implications of the new projects, given what has come as a result of the House of M.

As previously reported by Newsarama, the projects start spilling out in November, and are:

House Of M: The Day After One-shot
Generation M Limited Series
X-Men: Deadly Genesis (30th anniversary of the All-New, All-Different X-Men) Limited Series [editor’s note: Newsarama’s story/preview].
Wolverine #36 begins a year-long story arc, “The Quest,” directly out of the events of HoM
Son of M Limited Series

And in 2006:
New Avengers #15 begins a six-issue arc introducing a major new villain out of the HoM

First off, X-Men editor Mike Marts, whose office will see many of the spin-out/off titles. Marts was quick to acknowledge that, with a name like “Decimation,” things won’t be cheery and light for a number of characters and titles.

“There are definitely huge, devastating effects that happen immediately following House of M, and they’re happening on a global scale,” Marts said. “This isn’t something that’s affecting one little corner of the Marvel Universe, but instead, this is affecting a whole cross-section of the planet. It will affect not just one or two Marvel books either, but rather many Marvel titles with a very big impact.

“The title, ‘Decimation’ suggests terrible, scary repercussions, and…that’s’ exactly what the repercussions are. I’m not saying that all the stories coming out of this are doom and gloom, but from the outside looking in, things will look extremely bleak for many of Marvel’s heroes.”

“Decimation’s” effects won’t be a direct crossover, rather, as Marts said, it’s an umbrella title to express the overall storyline in many Marvel titles coming out of House of M. “It won’t be necessary to pick up Uncanny X-Men to understand what’s going on in New X-Men, for example, because if you’re reading any one of those books, you’ll know immediately what has happened, and what will be happening. It’s pretty clear, line-wide that something very, very major has just happened. ‘Decimation’ is more of the mood, the tone – this isn’t a case where you see ‘Decimation: Part one of __.’ There’s not central through line storey to this really, it’s just a way of describing the Marvel Universe post House of M.”

Marts took us through a rundown of the November titles with teams, and creators:

House of M: The Day After (still a working title): “This will be the one that I think everyone will want to pick up. It’s a double-sized one-shot that Chris Claremont is writing, with Randy Green illustrating, but we’ve had help from everyone else involved in the other books that are surrounding this. This will pick up immediately after the events of House of M #8, and will be centered around, but not limited to the Xavier Institute. We’ll see more mutants in this issue than you’ll know what to do with, and there will also be a spotlight, in a way, on each of the new projects that come out of House of M: X-Factor, X-Men: Deadly Genesis, Excalibur as well as the new direction in New X-Men with Craig Kyle, Chris Yost and Mark Brooks taking over. It will also highlight the other X-books as well.






“It’s really a snapshot of the world post-House of M, and takes place over the course of a day. Unlike what has become somewhat traditional ‘pick yourself up, dust yourself off, set up new teams’ issues that usually follow a major X-Men storyline, The Day After isn’t filled with quiet reflection. The aftereffects of House of M are so catastrophic that we’re seeing everyone hitting the ground running. They’ve got multiple emergencies that need to be taken care of.”

Generation M: “This is a five-issue limited series directly spinning out of House of M. Paul Jenkins is writing it, and we’re nailing down the artist right now. This project examines the biggest single repercussion of House of M the most. There is one big phenomenon that happens at the end of the story, and this will deal specifically with that, and with all of the characters that are directly affected by it. We’ll see a log of guest stars and familiar mutants in this series, and in true Paul Jenkins fashion, it’s a story that gets into the meat of the characters – their inner workings, and examines them from the inside out.”

X-Men: Deadly Genesis: “It’s connected to the past, but it’s also a story that very much takes place in the present-time Marvel Universe. It’s relation to the House of M event is not as strong as some of the other titles, but were it not for House of M, Deadly Genesis wouldn’t happen, because it allowed certain dominoes to fall into place.”

Wolverine: Origins and Beginnings: For this, we move over to Wolverine editor Axel Alsono. “The creative team is Daniel Way, whose writing the Wolverine: House of M story that comes out in September, and the artist is Mark Texeira, with Javier Saltares doing breakdowns.

"Daniel was selected because (a) he really gets Logan, knows what makes him tick, and (b) he put a fantastic high concept on the table: one that’s going to keep the momentum going for a while, and (c) Daniel’s ideas fit perfectly with Logan’s position in the Marvel Universe, post House of M. Daniel knocked us out with his ideas – Joe Q was especially intrigued by one of his hooks.

"Mark Texeira and Javier Saltares were selected because they’ve been doing a knockout job on the House of M story, and – as Tex has noted himself – they’re improving with each page. By the time they get to Wolverine #36, which begins the new arc, they’ll have fine-tuned their chemistry to tackle the widescreen action that Daniel’s calling for.

”Admittedly, Mark Millar’s run is a hard act to follow, and we’re doing our best to keep the adrenalin levels high. Mark himself was rooting for Daniel to take over; he thinks Dan’s a breakout writer. In the first 5-issue arc, Logan is hunting for something…or someone…that will forever change the world within which he lives. And the rules by which he must abide. There are a lot of obstacles his must face. And they’re all crowd-pleasers. And fear not, he’ll find what he was looking for within the first year. Dealing with the ramifications of this discovery – and the ramifications of other things he digs up on this quest – will set the trajectory of the second arc.”

And one of the later pieces of “Decimation” to spin out, New Avengers #16-#21, pitting the young team against a threat directly from House of M. “This will be an all-new villain we’ll be introducing in this storyline comes out of the aftereffects of House of M,” said New Avengers editor Tom Brevoort. “As for why the New Avengers are going after this villain, Brian can probably answer this one more fully, but given that this villain is a product of the changes wrought by House of M, and Wanda was responsible for House of M, this by extension makes the existence of this villain the result of the Avengers’ failure with Wanda, so there’s something of a sense of responsibility there – this is something they feel they are duty bound to take care of.”

As Bendis announced at his WW: Chicago panel, Steve McNiven will draw the arc.

In closing, Marts acknowledged that to some, he’s merely recapitulating the hype, but the editor said that the changes coming can still cause his eyebrows to go up a little.

”On a scale of 1 to 10 in regards to the magnitude of the change that’s coming for the Marvel Universe, ‘Decimation’ shows it’s an easy 10.

"I know that’s the cliché answer, but I’ve been up here for 12 years, and on the X-Men for the last four or five, and I haven’t seen us attempt anything like this in that time – something with as far reaching repercussions as we’re trying here. So yeah, it’s very big, and will definitely be one of those stories that is looked back at as one of Marvel’s best efforts, and probably as one that we’ll see people try to mimic and duplicate in the months to come.

“What’s doubly exciting about this is that House of M has been such a great story to work with that it has provided us with such wonderful, natural stories flowing out of it which are allowing us to do new projects in the year to come. The entire process has been extremely rewarding and organic. Instead of scrambling for new projects, House of M is allowing us to come up with new project after new project that just grow out of the larger story in a natural and organic manner.”

JOHN LAYMAN - BRIEFLY ON SENTINEL SQUAD ONE
As one of the titles recently announced at Marvel’s presentation at the recent Diamond Retailelr Summit in Baltimore, Sentinel Squad ONE, a title in the second wave of the “Decimation” following House of M. Written by John Layman, with art by Aaron Lopresti, the new miniseries is about…well, if we knew that, there’s be no point in talking to Layman, now would there?

Oh – and of course, given that Sentinel Squad ONE is set into the “Decimation” era, there’s not too much that can be said in regards to specifics, since House of M is yet to finish, and “Decimation” is yet to begin.

Newsarama: Since we’re not going to be able to talk too much about the specifics of the characters and world, let’s play it relatively safe with the chestnut - how did you land this gig? Clearly, there are a lot of new titles flying with HoM and “Decimation” - was it/is it a case of people are pitching ideas that relate to the new landscape of the MU, or are they coming from editorial, and you're asked to pitch?

John Layman: Well, I've made it no secret with the X-Office that I love Sentinels. Just totally love them and always have. They are my favorite character/thing/bad guy in the entire X-universe, and have been since those many decades ago when I was snot-nosed pimple-faced teenager - instead of the perfectly sculpted man-god walking-Adonis that I grew up to be. Even prior to Gambit I had pitched some Sentinel stories, and I told X-editor Mike Marts if there were any Sentinel openings, I'd love to be a part of it.

Lo and behold, just as Gambit was wrapping up, Mike and I started talking about Sentinels, and how House of M was ending, and how Sentinels would play a big role in this post House of M world. Mike had some ideas, I had some ideas, and after some back and forth a pitch came together. Better yet, the pitch was approved--which still sorta surprises and astonishes me, getting to work on Marvel comics, and characters I've loved my entire life.

NRAMA: Will thre be any familiar faces in the story? Any X-characters returning to active service, at least editorially, if not on an X-“team?”

JL: The recruits are new faces, but there are a couple characters Marvelites are going to be familiar; Valerie Cooper, who's been in and out of various X-books over the years, and another character who was not in my original proposal, but who got suggested to me by editorial, and I almost ____ a brick because he is one of my all-time favorite - non X-universe - Marvel characters. I don't think I'll name him just yet, though, just to build some suspense. I like to watch the Newsarama message board dorks sweat.

NRAMA: Thanks for that.

JL: You’re welcome!

NRAMA: This is a miniseries, right?

JL: A five issue mini. Self-contained, with a definite ending. Which is not to say there can't be more Sentinel Squad in the future. I've got a few ideas, and Mike Marts and I have tossed around a few things-- but, these days, you got to see what the market will bear, ya know?

NRAMA: Working with Aaron here - what's he bringing to the table in terms of the look and feel?

JL: Keep in mind, Aaron and I worked together before. We were the dream team behind the blockbuster Left Behind adaptation, and I know Aaron is a total pro and a great guy and somebody I'd like to work with again and again. On Left Behind, though, because of the nature of the project, it was a lot of talking heads, and probably not the most exciting thing to draw. It certainly didn't play to all of Aaron's many strengths. When Mr. Marts and I were batting around ideas for artists, Aaron is one of the first names I threw out - another being Scot Eaton, who kicked so much ass on my FF House of M mini. And I lucked out; with Excalibur coming to an end, Aaron was available. And he and I have talked, and he's made some requests about the story he wants to draw; namely, big action and a lot of giant robots smashing things and blowing crap up. I've seen a lot of the first issue by now, and every page is simply gorgeous.

NRAMA: Was there much design work for him, ie, does Sentinel Squad ONE have a lot of new characters, locations, etc for him to design the look of?

JL: Yeah, tons of new characters, and there are several different models of Sentinels, so he's not drawing the exact same giant robot over and over. Plus, knowing Aaron, I know what he likes to draw, so naturally we're going to take things into the Savage Land for a good portion of the latter story.

NRAMA: Last words? Who do you see this title appealing to, and what niche does it fill within the MU?

JL: Well, it's definitely an action book, so it should appeal to anybody who likes big-crazy high-adrenaline action and carnage. Big robot smash. Big robot fight crazy-ass super-threats. Big robot blow ____ up. But it's also a military book-- a war book-- except instead of fighting soldiers in the trenches, this team of sentinels is prepared to take on the absolute biggest--figuratively and literally--threats in the entire universe. The artwork is fantastic. Pasqual Ferry is doing gorgeous covers. What's not to like?

just finish reading HOM #7.....

NO MORE MUTANTS!!!!!!!

[MSth08]

Citing the revelation of House of M #7, Quesada said that Wanda's three words ("No More Mutants") will be pivotal to Marvel's next five to six years of story "with respect to putting the genie back into the bottle with respect to X-Men."

Switching to Ed Brubaker, the writer explained that Wanda's words will drastically reduce the mutant population in the Marvel Universe, towards a late 1960s state of the world, rather than whole villages.

The after effects of House of M change the way the government looks at mutants, making the X-Men's situation and standing even more tenuous than before. Brubaker continued, saying that Deadly Genesis ties into those threads, while tying back to events that go back to the very start of the X-Men as seen in Giant Size X-Men #1.

Further elaborating on Brubaker's comments, Quesada said that Deadly Genesis is based on the "deep dark secret" that Professor X has been hiding for years, and the whole story ties into the 30th anniversary of Giant Size X-Men”.

Elaborating on Quesada's elaboration, Brubaker said that, in preparing for he story, he went back and found several moments that were never really explained when they occurred, and as a result, a "whole second story" can be laid alongside what was known to have happened.

Brubaker added that the story is a hybrid between a mystery and a ghost story, with "A whole lot of Wolverine yelling and slicing, because people seem to like that."

In finishing the comments, Quesada said that he would stake his reputation on the fact that this story will be an instant classic.

Firing right back, Brubaker countered with "Wow - can I have your job when you're fired." The writer went on to explain that when he was offered the job, Quesada had explained to him that they were seeking to have a new villain created, someone on the scale of Magneto.

Later, in answering a question, Brubaker explained that Deadly Genesis picks up a week after the end of House of M, and will see certain X-Men who've lost their powers, and other team members and friends who aren't to be found.

In explaining the decision to cut down on the number of mutants in the Marvel Universe, Quesada said that part of the X-Men's appeal was that mutants were a minority, and that allowed for empathy with readers. As Quesada explained, that feeling of "minority" had been lost over the years.

Editorially, Quesada added, there is now a mandate that no new mutants can be created wholesale - only five or six new mutant-based characters that were already in the pipeline will be seen. And that the ones going away won’t be coming back...

"As long as I'm here as Editor in Chief, they're not coming back,” he said, later promising that there won't be a big event in two years where all the missing mutants come back.

Quesada further went on to say that reducing the number of X-Men has been a priority since he began as Editor-in-Chief at Marvel, and noted that he has another genie that he wants to put back in the bottle, but did not elaborate on it further.

When asked if Deadly Genesis will ship on schedule, editor Mark Paniccia said that it will be on schedule, and they are currently midway through issue #3.

Asked to clarify "Decimation", Marvel said that while it won't be the literal "decimation" of mutants (i.e. one in ten), the term is being used to suggest a massive reduction of the mutant population.

Quesada folowed up, adding that there will be a roughly 96% reduction, without massive carnage, and left it at that.

Asked if there would be any fallout of Wolverine appearing in New Avengers, Editor Andy Schmidt said that Wolverine would be the only mutant in New Avengers showing up, with Quesada adding that there will be considerably less mutants showing up in Marvel's titles.

Quesada also confirmed that District X and Nightcrawler will be cancelled, but not necessarily as a result of House of M.

Writer David Hine will have two new projects at Marvel, one presumably being Son of M.

When asked if the superhero community will view mutants differently after the conclusion of House of M, Quesada declined to answer, saying that it would reveal the ending of House of M #8.

Asked if the upcoming villain in Deadly Genesis is in fact (as widely speculated), Thunderbird, Ed Brubaker said he could neither confirm or deny, but noted that the color scheme of the mysterious character is similar to Thunderbird's ... before teasing that it may just be Bucky ... or Bucky II.

Asking a question that came more from the sales side of things, retailer Phil Boyle of Coliseum of Comics in Florida referred to the rumor of there being only 198 mutants left in the Marvel Universe after House of M #8, and, after ticking off the new X-titles coming out one by one, asked if each of the 198 were getting their own title. Noting the proliferation of titles, Boyle said he’s been seeing diminishing returns on new X-titles, and fully expects that his sales on many of the titles will be dead right out of the gate.

In response, Quesada said that Marvel is working hard to make sure the books matter more, noting that in the past, there were way too many mutants in the Marvel Universe, and too many X-books as well, to the point that Marvel was publishing titles that didn’t matter in the larger scope of things.

“Part of what is inherently important about the metaphor of the X-Men is that they are a minority,” Quesada said. “The reason in the past that fans have been able to relate to these characters is that we all see a part of ourselves within them, whether it be that you were the lonely kid in school, the gay kid in school…or the kid who got beaten up in school because you were different. Whatever it is, we all have that. Part of it is that there aren’t supposed to be a lot of these guys…they never really should’ve been in the forefront.

“That kind of message got lost over the years, to the point where we ended up with a mutant island where there were over six million of them, and every time you’d turn a page, you’d see a mutant on every corner. We even had ‘Mutant Town.’ So, one of the things that we wanted to do was put the genie back in the bottle. The question’s not so much how many X-Men titles are there, but rather, can we use the different titles to tell different stories to sustain the audience and keep them coming back? That’s the goal with this. In a book like The 198, which will be explained further down the road, tells a specific story.

“The other thing – if there are, and I’m not saying that there are, but if there are somewhere in the realm of between 198 and 300 different mutants, then, moving forward, as a death may happen, it becomes that much more important. The other thing that is happening with this is that editorially, we’re putting a moratorium on new mutants being created. So what you’ve got is what you’ve got. You may see a couple of new ones pop up here and there, but that’s only because they were created before the mandate, but that will only be five or six characters.”

Quesada reiterated that, as long as he’s Editor in Chief, he’s not bringing the dead/missing/depowered mutants back.

“I don’t know what you’ll want to do with the new mutant books,” Quesada concluded, referring back to Boyle’s question, but things are going to get pretty exciting.

“I can’t believe you got rid of Wolverine,” Brubaker added dryly, once Quesada was done.

And finally in terms of notable comments, when asked if he was concerned about fans becoming burned out on “Event” style books, Quesada pointed to sales, chiefly, noting that, going by that barometer, it appears that the large event stories are what fans want to see.

“My concern with it is, obviously, is will the fans all of a sudden be sick of it, and retailers be stuck with books, but also, and more importantly, how many books tie into these things, and how they tie in. How many books are you actually forcing your readers to pick up, versus how much stuff are you giving your readers a choice to pick up? There’s a very big line in the sand with respect to how we construct our crossovers, and how DC constructs their crossovers. We construct our crossovers so hat people are not forced to buy issues of Thunderbolts, for example, We understand that Thunderbolts is not our biggest selling title, but we are not connecting it directly, and making it a lynchpin to our crossover in order to force readers to buy it, and force retailers to buy it, and increase sales on a title that isn’t one of our strongest, sales-wise.

“So we di have a different philosophy in how it’s done, but we do have our eyes open to make sure we’re not going overboard. Granted, the Spider-Man crossover is a bit different. We decided to crossover all the books…but it’s really only for three to four short months. To be honest, it’s the first time we’ve done anything like that in my five years as editor in chief, but it was just a fun story that we thought it would work that way. Again, we’re not tying Fantastic Four into it, we’re not tying X-Men into it – it’s strictly just Spider-Man. I can live with it, because I’m thinking that if you’re reading one Spider-Man book, you’re probably reading two out of the three, and a lot of people are reading all three.

“Moving on towards next year, if we do head for more events, we like the way House of M panned out and how it was constructed, so we will most likely do it in that manner. Some of these crossovers, you need a roadmap to figure out what the heck is going on. I’ve seen websites posting Crisis Management and the Idiot’s Guide to Crisis, because the person coming in off the street isn’t going to be able to figure out what’s going on there. If we did that, I would consider it a huge mistake for us. But that’s our philosophy. I’m not saying one is right or wrong, but the way I feel, we hope to keep our stories as clear as possible."

Marvel has provided Newsarama with a five page preview of Decimation: House of M – The Day After, which is due in stores November 9th.

The issue will provide the first full view of the Marvel Universe post House of M, presumably, a Marvel Universe where the Scarlet Witch’s “three words” have taken effect, with the population of mutants being severely reduced, and mutant population moving back to being feared and hated by the bulk of humanity.

The one-shot is written by Chris Claremont with art by Randy Green, The solicitation reads:

It was the worst day in X-Men history. Now it’s the day after. The House of M is over, but the effects will be felt for the rest of their lives. How do the X-Men pick up the pieces in a world that has completely changed? This special one-shot is the world’s first real glimpse into the entire Marvel Universe, post-House of M. It also gives a special preview of the titles that come out of that event, such as New Excalibur, X-Factor, Generation M, and a few we can’t name here! We said the world was changed. You’ve been warned!
