Marvel Now

[Cyberstrike]

I'm guessing that Havok will quit X-Factor then?

More relaunches from Marvel Previews:

The Indestructible Hulk by Mark Waid and Leinel Fracncis Yu.
Hulk-Indestructible force more weapon than man. Banner-smartest man alive Combined they are the strongest, smartest weapon on the planet and now the Indestructible Hulk is an agent of SHIELD!

OK the smart Hulk, Waid, and Yu are pluses for me. But the Hulk as an agent of SHIELD doesn't sound right to me.

The All-New X-Men by Brian Micheal Bendis and Stuart Immonen
It's a blast from the past as the original five students of Professor X-Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Iceman, Angel and Beast are plucked from the past and brought to the present. But what they find, the state of their future selves are in, and the state of Xavier's dream is far from the future they dreamed of. And how will the X-Men of the present deal with their past coming forward?

Forget it. Not interested in it.

Iron Man by Kieron Gillien and Greg Land
Tony Stark-Iron Man: Technological visionary, wealthy playboy, unparalleled engineer, and armored Avenger. His greatest invention becomes his greatest mistake! Iron Man must act fast and Tony Stark must build faster! The lethal techno virus Extremis is out in the wild and out for grabs to the highest bidder! It's up to Tony Stark to contain it and it means creating a new suit of armor now!

If Warren Ellis wrote it I would buy it, but he's not so pass.

I'm tired but here is the rest of new books and creative teams and my quick summery of them:

Thor: God of Thunder by Jason Arron and Esad Ribic Thor tracks down the God Butcher.

Captian America by Rick Remender and John Romita Jr. Captain America gets stranded in another dimension with no allies and no country to defend!

X-Men: Legacy by Simon Spurrier and Tan Eng Huat-Legion, Professor X's powerful and crazy son tries to become sane and help the X-Men.

The Fanastic Four by Matt Fraction and Mark Bagley-The Fantastic Four and Reed and Sue's kids go on a trip through space and time.

FF by Matt Fraction and Mike Alled- Ant-Man, Medusa, She-Hulk, and Miss Thing guard take of things while the Four are away.

Deadpool by Gerry Duggan & Brian Poshen and Tony Moore. Deadpool vs. zombies of every dead US president.

Marvel Now is a great jumping off point. My Marvel pull list is going to be about a quarter of what it was.

I am picking up three number ones - Deadpool, FF and Fantastic Four. The wife wants to keep reading FF and Fantastic Four because they are two titles that she reads and enjoys. I am picking up Deadpool because I want to see where Brian Posehn goes with him.

[ShadowTuga]

X-Men reader here, so you can guess I'm pretty p***** off by the whole NOW! thingy.
I'll still be picking "Wolverine & The X-Men", at least until November. It'll be the only Marvel book in my pull, since "Uncanny X-Men" and "Uncanny X-Force" will both fold. I'm curious about the Posehn "Deadpool"- but it's just that, curiosity.

The "All New X-Men" concept strikes me as one of the most lazy, idiotic things to come out of Marvel. And "Uncanny Avengers"? It'll be a cold day in hell before I pay 7.98 per month for a book that stars the Scarlet Witch and Havok, even if Remender is writing it and Cassaday is drawing it. I simply have no interest whatsoever in a joint Mutant-Avenger force team, not to mention one that features 2 of the most boring Marvel characters ever. My opinion, of course.

I'll still have Valiant and my Bat-books, anyway.

I hadn't heard Uncanny X-Men is folding.

Axel Alonso confirmed it in his last talk with CBR. But it was a non-spoken truth for a while, pretty much since the NOW! announcement that highlighted "All New X-Men" as the new flagship of the franchise and how it would replace Uncanny in the same manner that New Avengers Vol. 1 replaced the main Avengers book.

It will be back in a couple of years for sure, but Kieron Gillen's run was really good and way too short. That's what really pains me.

The biggest shame of all this is that some of my favourite artists are stuck working on this crap.

I *adore* Cassaday's work [Planetary, anyone?], and Leinil Yu on the Hulk is an exciting prospect. Adi Granov is also amazing [I love that Uncanny Avengers #1 pic of Scarlet Witch even though I do not ever read Avengers]... and poor Esad is trapped doing THOR? Valiant needs to get an exclusive with this guy! With all these guys!!

I'm officially just going to be a fan of Marvel THEN! - I refuse to get into anything with the NOW! stamp on it. Chris Farley sums up my feelings best on what Marvel is doing;

Esad Ribic and Jerome Opeña would be my first and second choices for new artists to come on board.

That Bloodshot #3 cover is mind-blowing.

[dhudson1]

I am jumping off a few titles as well, good place to stop, allows more money for Valiant

[400yrs]

The only Marvel Now book that I'll be getting is Thor.

Just Thor.

It could have been a good cover, but I really just can not understand the angle / perspective. Shouldn't they all be looking to the right?

I went to a convention where Cassaday was the featured guest and there was promotion for him everywhere. I wanted to dislike the guy because they were making such a big deal out of him but I saw him at a couple of panels and he was too funny and charming for me to dislike.

Are they relaunching Uncanny X-Force as well?? I certainly hope not, only mutant book that I currently enjoy.

Remender is going to Uncanny X-men.

No more Uncanny X-Force (as far as I know, I hope I'm wrong)

I really have to revise my "Marvel Pull-List" and drop all the crap.

You don't like Wolverine and the X-Men?

Rumours have it as Daniel Way and Ale Garza will be relaunching "a special blacl-ops mutant team" book, i.e. X-Force. Since KINDA SPOILERS FOR UXF everyone is dying or leaving , Remender's run is coming to a natural end. SPOILER'S END

My roster prediction/wish list:
- Logan
- Deadpool
- AoA Nightcrawler
- Danger (EVA was cooler as part of Fantomex. I'm not digging her that much as of now.
- Rachel Summers (she's pure bad-assery)
- Warpath or Wolvesbane
- Cable

I will try the 1st issue, for curiositY, knowing in advance that it will be completely different from UXF.

You don't like Wolverine and the X-Men?

And Uncanny X-Men?! These 3 books were part of one the best times in decades for the Marvel muties.

And it will all end soon..

I want Fantomex back. He was Badass.

A lot of fans will use Marvel Now as a jumping off point, but sales on the titles will be way up.

For the first two or three months sure, but once the newness wears off they will go back down again, (just like DC's The New 52), but in the long term I think it's very questionable that canceling, starting, and restarting books as an excuse for all the switching creative teams around is a good move.

I do not understand why the cannot just switch creative teams around without relaunching the title.

They obviously can, but it seems relaunches at least temporarily spike sales.

I thought that comic book sales in general had a big push from the new 52. That's what i've been reading/hearing for a year, anyway.


The most difficult part is now, when one has to resist the temptation of lots of new#1s with pretty covers.

Are you saying DC's sales are where they were before the new 52?

That is not a true statement
