2007 Predictions...

So now that we're a bit of the way in, and have an idea of what's gonna be going down throughout the year, post any predictions you have for the rest of the year.

For instance, IMO, the most interesting character this year will be Jamie Madrox. He's got some great stuff going on in X-Factor and it makes for great reading. (i'll post more predictions when i can be bothered, or after i've read all yours and can say that i'd already thought of that 🙂 )

Here's some more categories to get you started, add more cause my brain isn't working and these'll probably suck.

Biggest Fight
Newest Romantic Pairing
Best Crossover
Most Interesting Team
Latest (time wise) Book
Biggest Death (easy)
New book most likely to suck
New book most likely to rule
Company most likely to rule the sales
Titles to get cancelled
Return of a character

etc. etc. etc.

Have fun.

I know, I know, Doop's return will be huge, but will it be the biggest?

Well this is assuming that Ultimates 2 ends so that Ultimates 3 can start. Technically it can't suck in 2007 if it doesn't come out in 2007.

I do agree though. Ultimates 3 seems to be completely shifting gears from what made the Ultimates awesome.

Yeah, Ultimate Hulk vs Wolverine I'm still waiting on, lol. I think the 2nd issue of that came at the end of 05 or something horrible.
Batman and Robin All Star isn't too far behind.

At least with Batman and Robin, DC has said 5 and 6 are both finished and want Jim Lee to get more issues in the can before they start releasing them. We haven't heard any status update on Hulk/Wolverine in a long time.

I think we're gonna have to wait till Lost ends. Even then I think we'll have to remind of the story cause I'm pretty sure he's forgotten by now.

And while on the subject of late titles what about Daredevil and Bullseye: Target. Only one issue came out and that was in 2001.

Biggest Death (easy)- Tony Stark! ( a guy can hope!)

New book most likely to suck- Flash

New book most likely to rule- New Avengers, close second: Ultimates 3, mostly because of Joe Mads art
