Glad to see some additional love for Fables and Young Avengers.

Issue 26 doesn't appear in solicitations for May, and there's still been no word on a revised release date, so June would appear to be the absolute earliest we might expect it. July, August, or even September might be more in line. Ellis finished the script for 26 the first week of December (though it may have received some tweaking in the interim--more below), so everything appears to be waiting on series artist John Cassaday. Cassaday may be in a bind here, as his X-title's return was pushed up a few months in Marvel's schedule. Here's hoping he can juggle both well enough to get 26 and 27 out before the end of 2006. (Ellis, along with Wildstorm VP and General Manager Hank Kanalz and editor Ben Abernathy have all separately stated at one point or another that there are plans for an epilogue-type format for Issue 27 later in 2006, as Ellis' and Cassaday's schedules allow; let's hope that this is still in the cards.)

I kinda like my superheroes as teenagers with powers and problems.

what, no Runaways?!?!?

Theta wrote:The Ultimate line, it really depends for me. The FF and the X-Men books I think are wonderful, even if I think Warren Ellis should be the only one writing the UFF (although to be fair to Millar, his recent arcs haven't been bad...just not particularly unique stuff)

I think it's just the FF themselves are kinda one-note. If you really think about it, they're at their best fighting Doom, exploring alternate dimensions, or kicking Galactus' ass. They're not really superheroes, they're scientists, and when they're not exploring, the book gets kinda dull.
