Are they miniseries or regular titles?
I don't know. The link merely describes them as #1s. Are
Rogue
and
Starjammers
miniseries or regular titles? How do you tell?
Mystique
and
Emma Frost
and
Wolverine
are all regular titles, as far as I know. In related news, I presume
Mary Jane
is one as well. The only way I can tell is if it's obvious it's just a miniseries, like
Ultimate Nightmare.
Okay, I presume the miniseries are denoted by "#1 (of 5)" and such, which would point to
Gambit
and
Jubilee
being titles.
The Marvel site says Gambit is ongoing, implies Jubilee is, and states that Starjammers is a 5 issue miniseries. Rogue looks limited too.
Rogue looks limited too.
I don't think so.
"GOING ROGUE" PART 4 (OF 6)
That says to me it's part 4 of the first arc, not a limited series. I believe you're right about
Starjammers,
though. I didn't catch a definite statement, but it has a "Part" label with no title for an arc.

I believe
Rogue
has been solicited as a mini-series. As for the other titles, Marvel has been kind of coy lately about titles, often introducing them with the implication that they will be ongoing, but when sales figures come in, making adjustments to the lower-selling ones and calling them a mini-series. Or the title may be part of their non-direct-market marketing plan, and a mini-series may be exteneded to an ongoing for no visible reason (this has happened with the
Thor, Son of Asgard
title).
Emma Frost
is an ongoing, but appears to be headed for cancellation. Marvel has been in the habit lately of not annoucning the cancellations, just not soliciting them after an easily-collectible stopping point.
Have any of these characters (Rogue, Gambit, Jubilee, Starjammers) had their own titles/miniseries in the past? Mystique and Emma, was this the first time they'd been launched? I've never really thought about comics being launched and cancelled like TV shows, really. Mostly because I've generally read the successful ones. The only anomaly was
Alias,
which turned into
The Pulse.
And
Daredevil,
I really began with Volume II, #1.
Rogue and Gambit have both had mini-series in the past. I don't know about the rest.
The Starjammers have had a couple minis before. Jubilee, I think, is a first. I have vague notions that there may once have been a Mystique miniseries before, but I may just be thinking of old X-Factor stories.
Still no Outsiders on the New Comics Release List! Are we never to see a new Outsiders again?
For some reason, I think I read somewhere that it's due next week.
And thanks to SA supplying me with Outsiders CRACK, I have read all the current issues, and I'm dying for the next one. I *love* the writing in it -- possibly more than TT, which is saying a lot, because TT is my fave right now.
A month late. . .
It's to balance out the
Powers
fans who got two in one month. Comic karma.
