Rumor Mill : New Essentials

It's that time of the month when Amazon updates its Marvel publishing schedule. Once again, many books that haven't been sollicited yet are part of that list and, if there's any thruth to it, we can expect two all-new Essential books in July.

The first good news is in the numbers. Marvel has picked up the pace and are back to publishing two Essentials a month. Then the books themselves are not too bad. Two proud products of the late 1970's, both of which had previous Essential volumes that were pretty successful. So without further ado, the July Essential books are...

ESSENTIAL DEFENDERS VOL.3
The Day of the Defenders first gathered Doctor Strange, the Hulk and the rest of Marvel's legion of loners - but can they survive "Defenders for a Day?" If the second team calling themselves Defenders doesn't finish them off, the third one just might! Plus: more non-stop action when the non-team faces team after team - including the Emissaries of Evil, Zodiac and the Headmen! Demons and gods alike threaten humanity, leaving its outcasts to defend it! Guest-starring Iron Fist, Ms. Marvel, Havok and Polaris, the Son of Satan, Hercules and more!
