Despite a few complaints I'm actually enjoying Marvel's Dark Reign stuff.
But now they are releasing the Dark Reign List series/line. I kinda want to pick these up but am not sure if I should. It's a money thing.
What do you guys think about The List?

I think Daredevil might. I'm kinda over Hawkeyes little publice spat,so i don't think i'm doing the Avengers one. And the Wolverine,Xmen,and Hulk books need to have a good purpose.
P.S. its killing me not to back Hawkeyes book,cause he's my fav male hero up their with Iceman.

I don't know either. I'll flip through them at my LCS but unless the wow me I won't pick them up. I'm buying tons of books already.

Buy the stuff you're interested in. There's no need to read everything. These "Dark Reign" things will be over soon anyways, and you can use the forums to fill in any blanks. Unless you're die hard, the Internet can help you from having to buy everything.

I'm very curious to see how Dark Reign concludes, so I'll most likely be getting a good chunk of The List issues. I'm a lame completist like that.

I'm excited as hell to see Dark Reign coming to an end. But I am not going to pick any of these 'List' books up. None of them interest me at all.
Especially with what Remender is going to to with Punisher after the fact. What the hell is 'Frankencastle'?

I'm probaly gona deciede when the prices for the issues are release. I'm guessing a 4.99 price tag since they are one-shots. But I'll pick up spider-man but give hulk a massive miss.

4.99?! I doubt it unless they give us a lot of content, which I doubt also

Over the past years with such great content I've become a super DC fanboy so I'm passing.
I wasn't planning on buying any of these books, but the flyer I got at my store has me thinking otherwise. Some of the creative teams on these things are pretty freaking awesome. It'll be touch and go for me, but look at this:
Brian Bendis and Marko Djurojevic
Matt Fraction and Alan Davis
Jonathan Hickman and Ed McGuinness
Rick Remender and John Romita Jr.
Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic (of Silver Surfer: Requiem fame)
Dan Slott and Andy Kubert
That's an all-star line up right there.

If Jason Aaron is the one doing Wolverine, I'm getting that shit without hesitation.

Here's my earlier list with who is doing what...
Brian Bendis and Marko Djurojevic- Avengers
Matt Fraction and Alan Davis- Uncanny X-Men
Jonathan Hickman and Ed McGuinness- Secret Warriors
Rick Remender and John Romita Jr.- Punisher
Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic (of Silver Surfer: Requiem fame)- Wolverine
Dan Slott and Andy Kubert- Spider-Man
Personally, I'm most excited for the Spider-Man, Punisher, and Wolverine issues as I think those will be completely beautiful along with a great story. The rest are definitely strong contenders for my dollar...we'll just see how swayed I am on release day.

Actually I'll take my earlier criticism back.
Hickman/McGuinness on with Secret Warriors sounds interesting. Plus Aaron/Ribic for Wolverine? That sounds like money.

I don't think I'll be getting the Punisher one, since I'm guessing that's gonna be the conclusion to Remender's overall plot of the current series, which I haven't been following at all. Spider-Man is also a maybe, if I have a light week that week I'll probably get it.
I'm a pretty big fan of those other books (especially Aaron's Wolverine) so I'll definitely get those.

I'm gettin that wolverine the list. It might be connected to Weapon X. I don't know I'm speculating based on the costume...

the preview of the daredevil one in daredevil 500 looked stupid.
