When March goes on forever ... Newsarama highlights Marvel's six new series set to debut in March. Well, they're not so much new as they are, well, the resurrection of old characters and gone-and-buried concepts.

Yes, faithful readers, March is Necromancy Month at Marvel; the dead are walking and talking.

So, anyway, we're getting "Iron Fist" by Jim Mullaney and Kevin Lau; "She-Hulk" by Dan Slott (whom I liked on DC's "Arkham Asylum: Living Hell") and Juan Bobillo; "Captain America and the Falcon" by Christopher Priest and an unnanounced artist; "Alpha Flight" by Scott Lobdell and Clayton Henry; "Cable/Deadpool" by Fabian Fabian Nicieza and Mark Brooks; and the "Avengers vs. Thunderbolts" miniseries by Nicieza, Kurt Busiek and Barry Kitson.

De mortuis nil nisi bonum. Speak no ill of the dead.

UPDATE: Priest confirms that Bart Sears will be the artist on "Captain America and the Falcon."
