Marvel's February previews reviewed

I confess: I think the emojis on this new Goblin Queen's staff, seen here on the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #88, are pretty neat. 


Quick, what do the spider that bit Peter Parker and Jason LaTour have in common? Both are radioactive! 

Or, at least, one would hope LaTour would be radioactive these days, but Marvel's going to go ahead and publish an Edge of Spider-Verse #2 Facsimile Edition

Does its writer LaTour get royalties? Is there an easier money to put money in the hands of a weird sex creep? I don't know, but Marvel gives us another opportunity to associate them and their characters with a weird sex creep, so, um, good job Marvel...? 


Last Ghost Rider and current Avenger Robbie Reyes appears on two of the 11 (Eleven!) covers for Ghost Rider #1, but it looks like the new title will actually star original Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze. The new series comes courtesy of Benjamin Percy and Cory Smith. Hopefully this won't affect Robbie's place on the Avengers, as I kinda like that kid and his haunted car. 


Is it me, or are the wings on Thor's head  on the cover of The Marvels #9 fucking gigantic?





Greg Land demonstrates the imagination, hard work and commitment to his craft that makes him a fan-favorite in these four variant covers for Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse #1


Wait, Lockjaw, Lockheed and Frog Thor....? Is this just a coincidence, or do the Pet Avengers guest-star in Thor #22...?


Hey Wolverine, why don't you quit posing and start picking up all that litter on the cover of X Lives of Wolverine #3? Those claws are just as good for picking up aluminum cans and putting them in the recycling as they are for stabbing people. 


Kevin Eastman provides a "Lives of Wolverine Variant Cover" to X-Lives of Wolverine #4. Wait, I said that wrong. It should be "Kevin Eastman provides a 'Lives of Wolverine Variant Cover' to X-Lives of Wolverine #4!!!"


Finally, a title with an "X" in it I can get excited about! The X-Force/X-Statix team of Peter Milligan and Mike Allred return with X-Cellent #1!

Does anyone know if this is a one-shot or part of a series? Not sure if I should order it or wait for a trade, if there's going to be a trade...
