“It’s not hype when we say that AvX is the culmination of a lot of stories we’ve done over the last several years"

That's strange. They've said that about past events, too. So which one is the culmination?

Anyway, who wants to take bets on how long this lasts? I give a year, tops.

As long as it isn't a reboot that turns all their female characters into whores *cough*flashpoint*cough* I'm cool with it.

I'm intrigued by Bendis' idea for the X-men. It's an interesting way to bring Jean Grey back without actually resurrecting her.

So they do a new status quo that lasts until they go back on it, like the post-Civil War fallout.

I think Civil War had quite a bit of lasting impact. Things only really got back to status quo after The Seige. That was, what a few years of prominent ramifications.

I'm obviously excluding the bullshit that is One More Day.

I'm not arguing that Civil War didn't have consequences or really changed the status quo - it did. But, it felt like after those few years things simply settled back to (or close to) where they were before Civil War. I'll give Marvel credit for not throwing out all their stories and history (like some other company) and rebooting from square one, but they always kinda slink back to one established, kinda bland status quo. Osborn in charge of SHIELD/HAMMER was cool, until that came undone. There could have been years of stories from that, making the world's peacekeeping force a real, shadowy threat. Dead Cap was dead, until TIME TRAVEL instead. THAT could have had such greater impact if Marvel had the balls to go through with it and make it stick. He would have become the ultimate fallen hero in the Marvel U.

One More Day was bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, and a bit more bullshit. They even tried to force that in the daily newspaper Spider-Man strip, but Stan Lee and the readers called bullshit on it and went back. Joe Q should hang his head in shame for forcing such a moronic idea through.

Uncanny Avengers sounds crazy interesting. From the article:
Uncanny Avengers: Remender describes this as “a bridge book, something that can delve into both worlds. It has a natural purpose for existing after AvX, where we can focus on human-mutant relations. The broad strokes are: Captain America comes out of AvX and recognizes that he hasn’t done enough to help the mutants.” The book will be drawn by John Cassaday, and will include heavy-hitters like Cap, Thor, and Wolverine, but Remender is also excited to focus on some less well-known characters, like Cyclops’ little brother Havok. “Havok’s always been the black sheep rock-and-roller of the Summers family. He can’t do that anymore. You’re going to see Havok become one of the biggest players in the Marvel Universe.”

Perhaps appropriate for a team that comprises a vision for the Marvel Universe’s future, the Uncanny Avengers’ first villain will be, literally, a ghost of the past. “In 1943, Arnim Zola, who was this bio-fanatic engineer, recorded the Red Skull’s consciousness, and set it to wake up 70 years later. So the Red Skull [in Uncanny] is right out of 1943-44. Prime Nazi scumbag. In his mind, he’s taking that vitriol and hate and Nazi horror and methodology, and pointing it at the mutant species.” And Remender stresses that the mash-up philosophy of Uncanny extends beyond the team’s lineup. “I’m not just smashing the heroes together, I’m smashing the villains together. It becomes something unlike anything we’ve ever seen, with stakes that are so huge, it takes a team comprised of the best Avengers and the best X-Men to go take care of it.” (Starts in October)

A mixed Avengers/X-Men team fighting a genocidal Red Skull who is focused on destroying mutant kind. Written by Rick Remender, who has done some pretty interesting stuff so far. May as well add it to my pull list tonight. Hickman's Avengers sounds somewhat promising as well - 18 member team, bi-weekly, stories large in scope (but then again, it is Hickman and that's what he does), mix of big story arcs and one-and-dones. I'm digging his run on Ultimates so far, I'll give his Avengers a shot.

As long as Jonathan Hickman is writing something, Marvel will have my money. The things he's been doing with FF and The Ultimates are just great.

Everything else ranges from semi to straight up uninteresting. Jean grey stuff sounds awful. GotG has been great, in my shitty opinion, because it hasn't been dragged down with a ton of interaction from the mainstream Marvel universe.

Seriously though jean grey blargh.

Also, black nick fury in the main continuity continues to be stupid.

I like the X-Men stuff. The concept of the original team seeing what a mess the X-men have become opens up a whole window for commentary on, well, the mess that the X-men have become. Scott in particular should hate what he's become.

I can't wait to see Beast's reaction to being a big blue cat thing :p

I'm glad to see Axel Alonso is keeping the same view on readers' intelligence as Quesada did.

Nrama: We're in a world where an Avengers movie made $600 million, so is there a consideration given to catering to that audience?
Alonso: Catering is making the characters in your comics look exactly like the characters in the movie, and we definitely aren’t doing that. Indeed, I wouldn’t say we’re “catering,” at all. We’re just aware that the Avengers have more fans that ever, and doing our best to make the new stories accessible to anyone who decides to test-drive the comics.

Not for nothing, but I think he has a point. I don't think it would be particularly easy to jump onto Captain America or the Avengers titles for a new reader right now.

And the All-New X-Men idea might be interesting if it weren't Bendis writing it. Not that I dislike his writing in general, I just don't think he's the right man for capturing and updating characterization straight out of the 60's.

I agree, but at least they gave original flavor Nick Fury a good send off (didn't read Battle Scars, but I've been told he retired due to the Infinity Formula that's been retarding his aging since the 1960's is wearing off) and did so in a way that doesn't preclude his return.

Well, two of those mutants (Logan and Scarlet Witch) have been Avengers for quite awhile. Wanda, in fact, is probably more closely associated with The Avengers now, rather than with X-Men.

The thing with Heroic Age was that they didn't really change creative teams around that much. So the big, ongoing arcs in individual titles (like the X-Books, Invincible Iron Man, Hulk, etc) just incorporated what was going on. In this case, most creative teams are being switched around and a bunch of ninety degree turns are being taken (Indestructible Hulk is a big one in that regard). So there's a better chance of actual change.

I mention Heroic Age for the grand sweeping promise of a brighter tone in the Marvel Universe, with actual heroics and less "hero" vs. "hero" and "hero" causes the problems, only to be right back to the same "real world" infighting and "super-heroes are the actual cause of all villainy" bullshit after 3 months. Which as Marvel readers know means half a story.

See, I was talking about the line-up. The cover was "meh", but the team was "meh"-er. However, the solicitation for issues two:
  • What are The Red Skull’s new powers? How did he become the most powerful man on Earth
  • Can Havok and Thor defeat the spreading influence of Honest John, The Living Propaganda?!
  • Rogue and Scarlet Witch trapped on the Isle of the Red Skull’s S-Men!
    Wolverine & Captain America: uncover the truth behind the worldwide mutant assassination epidemic!
Click to expand...
Sounds like exactly the batshit insanity of awesomeness I have come to expect from a Rick Remender comic. So I'm in. Also, this:
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 S.H.I.E.L.D.!

The old series and its storylines continue in Dark Avengers, which will have had that title for something like six months by the time Thunderbolts drops. Though it is going in a new direction come December.

Yeah, if there's a Marvel NOW book that looks the most "meh", it's that one. Though FF is something I'm still waffling on.

Announced today at Comic Book Resources:


The title and the character designs didn't really wow me. However, the interview with writer Dennis Hopeless sold me on it. The specific quotes that intrigued me:
Our first arc is the story of how Cable and his X-Force become the world's Most Wanted mutant terrorists. You know how at the beginning and end of every "Mission Impossible" movie Tom Cruise is a spy, but in the middle he's an international criminal on the run from the whole world? That's what we're doing here.

I keep pulling out dated movie references, but the Uncanny Avengers are our Tommy Lee Jones from "The Fugitive." They're heroes acting heroically the whole time. From their perspective, this X-Force is a team of super villains.

I don't want to give too much away just yet, but I think we have a unique opportunity for cool fights with this X-Force. They're in a desperate situation here. That means throwing down with anyone who gets in the way, which should be fun.

At its core, the book is about X-Force breaking the law. I have a lot of different kinds of jobs planned for the team but they're all crime stories. There's a lot of variety within that though. I mean, "Breaking Bad," "The Wire," "The Usual Suspects" and "Oceans 11" are all crime stories.

Well, that depends: Has Cyclops escaped from jail yet? Last I saw (the final issue of Uncanny X-Men), he was still locked up. Emma Frost was last seen in custody as well. I know that Magik is free and I think Namor is as well. Colossus, one of the Phoenix Five, is a member of Cable's X-Force.

So. Amazing Spider-Man. Anyone read this? Pretty big things happening to lead into the big 700 issue, and then the new Superior Spider-Man from there. Summary below:

In ASM 698, Peter seems...not quite himself. Odd speech pattern, strange behavior in general. Doc Ock is dying, and mutters Pete's name. The Avengers bring Pete in to see Ock one last time, and he goes in alone, no cameras/people. Turns out, at some point in the last arc, Ock swapped minds. He won't reveal how, but at the end of the issue it looks like the real Peter dies in Ock's body as Ock walks out in Peter's. Most speculate it has something to do with the End of the Earth arc and the gold Octobot seen there and a few other places after. Leading into something huge apparently happening in ASM 700, and then from there the new Superior Spider-Man book.

From what I've read so far:

  • Red She Hulk: Trash. There is nothing redeemable about this title.
  • Uncanny Avengers: Good. Provided the book comes out on time.
  • All New X-Men: Good. Could have used a bit more action, but it's Bendis so I'm not sure why a book with nothing but a splash page surrounded by talking head surprises me
  • Iron Man: Meh. Greg Lands art makes the book a lot duller than it should.
  • Captain America: Surprise hit. Completely different direction from Brubaker's run, turns out to be what is needed to follow that 8 year run. Loads of fun.
  • Indestructible Hulk: Good. At time it panders to hard to the mythical new reader brought in by the Avengers. One line in particular indicates Waid was told to only use a character summary as character history. See also the use of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Still interesting what Banner is willing to do when it's not his father-in-law trying to use him for national defense.

I read the first issue of Mighty Avengers, and was surprised at how surprised I was at enjoying it. Again not sure why, Al Ewing is a great writer, and the book will be featuring both the Falcon and She-Hulk. I guess I was afraid it was going to be written like Charlie, instead it's just a solid story with strong characterizations, natural dialog, a good flow, and currently a distinct lack of both Falcon and She-Hulk :(. I'm sure they're coming, and I'm really enjoying a Bendis-free Luke Cage.

Highly recommended, and while the book is branded with Infinity, I can safely say with 100% certainty that there is absolutely no reason to feel that you need to read Infinity. The only connection is that Infinity is happening, Ewing doesn't ignore this fact, and everything you need to know is brought up in Mighty Avengers.

Don't worry. Parker is back in 2014 according to solits for Amazing Spider-Man 700.1 - 700.5

Even though I really enjoy the Superior Spider-Man, I do miss Peter.
Click to expand...
700.1 talks about a 'celebration of the classic Spider-Man', and Superior doesn't seem to be ending. So I wouldn't be so sure that he is back...

This is a super fun read about a theory that Franklin Richards is responsible for why the Marvel universe is as it is.
