Interesting. I also hadn't realized she had a run as an X-Man, although I guess that was a more recent thing.

the problem becomes how do you make this character work as a solo ongoing character?

cyclops jean grey iceman gambit and storm couldn't keep one going

so how can she last any longer in a solo book when her only power is "Affecting Luck" and the real action comes from her mastery of guns

The fact that she's not primarily known for a team affiliation probably helps. And the fact that she's a merc will give conflict. Keep in mind that Jessica Drew was a PI.

...Wolverine could, though, in addition to being in team books as well.

idk, all the Punisher has going for him are guns and he seems to manage.

And Gail Simone's writing it? Well, shit, now it looks like I have two things to add to my pull list for April.

Even if he has, it doesn't really mean much. He's also been an Avenger and a member of the Fantastic Four (albeit when the team was branded as the Future Foundation). As one of Marvel's biggest names, he gets around.

all we know about this domino series is this description

"When Domino finds herself on the wrong side of the mercenary community, the favorite femme fatale has to fight back and, somehow, stay alive. Hunted by her enemies, a danger to her friends, and chased by the man who hates her more than anything, Domino will be up against the oddsbut thats never stopped her before."

It is either a limited run (5 issues, like they did with the latest Elektra run), or they are trying to go back to the 90's when every single character had a solo run (and most of them sucked).

Either way, I am not going to bother with it.

idk, all the Punisher has going for him are guns and he seems to manage.


In all fairness though, Punisher gets re-booted like once a year. I don't think he has had a steady run since Garth Ennis, and even then most of the story telling was in how people interacted with the Punisher rather then how the Punisher reacted to certain situations.

The premise screams limited run, tbh. Can't imagine they'd get more than 10 issues at the most out of it, especially considering that Domino isn't a major draw.

She's also not Wolverine or Spider-Man. In fact, there are a lot of characters she isn't.
