Here are the Marvel Comics that will be out next week, thought I'd let you guys know which of these I'm gonna be reading for Sidekickcast Episode #10.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN # 584
The Story: CHARACTER ASSASSINATION BEGINS!
The climax to the last year’s worth of Spider-man stories starts with a bang as questions are answered and Spidey’s new world is rocked to its core.
Who's the person terrorizing people as Menace? Who's behind the Spider-Tracer Killings? Who's going to be the Mayor of New York City? After more than 365 (Brand New) Days, Marc Guggenheim and John Romita Jr. have all the answers in the first chapter of "Character Assassination" -- a story over a year in the making!
Rated A …$2.99
I've heard so many good things but I'm just not a big Spidey fan and I'm not into getting weekly books

Follow up:


AMAZING SPIDER-MAN # 583
OBAMA COVER 2ND PRINTING
The Story: YOU ASKED FOR IT, YOU GOT IT! PETER PARKER ON A DATE!
After the revelations of “Mind on Fire”, love is in the air for more than one member of the cast and Pete finally gets some time out with the ladies. (and who better to bring it to you than two men who both had dates as recently as 1987!)
Amidst the romance though, forces are gathering that will spell trouble for Peter in the months to come. Plus, a backup story featuring Spider-Man meeting the President-elect Barack Obama.
Rated A …$3.99

ASTONISHING X-MEN # 28
The Story: "GHOST BOX," PART 4
Big action. Big Science. And a Big Mystery to solve! The superstar team of Warren Ellis and Simone Bianchi take the X-Men on a mission that will take them into mind-bending and previously uncharted territory -- one that will test them -- and their leader Cyclops -- to their very core.
Rated T+ …$2.99
I'll be checking this out but I'm getting increasingly bored with Warren Ellis' take on thos Astonishing mutants

CAPTAIN AMERICA THEATER OF WAR: AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL # 1
The Story: The third in a series chronicling the adventures that made Captain America the hero we know today, Paul Jenkins (MYTHOS) does what he does best, weaving a tale of war, brotherhood and legacy. From skinny Steve Rogers at boot camp to the Super-Soldier leading a battalion of men against the Nazis, this is the Captain America you thought you knew but you’ve never seen. And when the choice is between his country or his best friend, this is the decision he had to make.
Rated T+ …$4.99
How much? Someone is seriously taking the piss!

DARK AVENGERS # 1

Rated T+ …$3.99
I'll be checking this out as I've been a Bendis fan for a while but I'm not sure if I can afford to get this on a regular basis aswell as New Avengers

DOCTOR DOOM AND THE MASTERS OF EVIL # 1
The Story: ALL NEW TALES!!! You’ve gotta ask yourself: If Doctor Doom’s the most evil guy ever, how much more evil’s it gonna
get when he puts a whole TEAM of VILLAINS to work? It's the series where the bad guys get their say, and the Sinister
Six are saying they aren't sinister enough! So, what's the solution? How about Kraven stealing a vibranium staff from the
Louvre? Sweet! And how about Electro designs a new suit to better channel his powers? Great idea! And how about ramping up Mysterio's powers by breaking into Stark Industries to steal a miniaturized super-component, battling both Iron Man and Dr. Strange in the process?
Rated T+ …$2.99
Hmmm, I don't think so, does sound like alot of fun though

GHOST RIDER # 31
The Story: The last time we saw Deputy Kowalski, he'd had his hand chopped off and eaten by a crazed cannibal and been Penance Stared by an enraged Johnny Blaze. Now he's back, armed with a hellfire shotgun and gunning for vengeance against the Ghost Rider. And as if that wasn't bad enough, there's also the little matter of the final war for heaven, as Danny Ketch leads the warrior angels of the Black Host against Blaze and his ragtag band of rebels. Is this really the end for the Spirits of Vengeance?

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY # 9
The Story: Star-Lord...trapped in jail...in the Negative Zone Prison...under attack from King Blastaar and his barbarian hordes! Will Rocket Raccoon and his new Guardians arrive in time to save their leader? Given their recent run of luck, probably not! Plus, cool art by Star Wars penciler Bong Dazo staggering revelations about Adam Warlock – as events continue to build to WAR OF KINGS! Surely you must be there for the next chapter of the series that has WeeklyComicBookReview.com raving: “If you aren’t reading GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY yet, now is the time to get a taste of the awesome that is Rocket Raccoon and the gang.”
Rated T+ …$2.99
Gonna keep on keeping on with this one no matter how many times Dan takes the pss out of Rocket Racoon

MARVEL ADVENTURES THE AVENGERS # 32

And when the IRS comes knocking on the door to Avengers Tower, it causes all sorts of problems. Luckily, the Avengers can avoid the problematic filing of their real names by helping the IRS collect back taxes on a few deadbeats. Unfortunately,

MOON KNIGHT # 26
The Story: “DOWN SOUTH,” PART 1
Out of the frying pan…into the inferno. Marc Spector may be dead, but Moon Knight is very much alive. Hiding out in the dark underbelly of Mexico City, trouble quickly finds the fugitive vigilante when a mysterious millionaire begs him to ensure the safe return of his kidnapped daughter.

The people who grabbed him want him to do a simple little job and then they’ll give him the antidote -- simple, right? Guess again. The Punisher is nobody’s errand boy. There’s only one thing he wants to do before he dies: Take as many bastards as he can with him.
