‘All-new’ Marvel to restart every comic title at Issue No. 1
news.com.au June 07, 2015 9:00PM Marvel is hitting reset on comic editions IT’S the Avengers like you’ve never seen them before. Almost. Marvel Comics is ushering in a new era of with a serious shake-up of its fictional universe — including restarting every title at Issue #1, a smashing new Hulk, at least two Spider-Mans and a revival of “X-Men” favourite Wolverine, who was killed off last October. “It allows us to bring all the cool toys into the same sandbox,” said Axel Alonso, Marvel’s editor-in-chief. “Look for an influx of really fun, new stuff in the Marvel Universe. It could be an artefact of great power. It could be a region.” The company is in the midst of a massive company-wide publishing event called Secret Wars, which has basically mashed up characters from different continuities and timelines across dozens of titles. It’s the precursor to hitting the reset button for what will be called the “All-New All-Different Marvel.” The new books will take place eight months after what happens in Secret Wars. “We’ve asked [the creative teams] to think big and think fun,” Alonso said. “Maybe a character moved to a new place, has a relationship to someone close to them change or their outlook on life is different.” One of the most important parts of the new world is to appeal to both diehard fans and new readers who may only know the characters through big box-office blockbusters like “Avengers” or “Iron Man.” “We don’t want people to feel like they walked into the middle of a movie,” Alonso said. But he also wanted reassure long-timers: “This isn’t a Marvel Universe where the sky is green or there’s no water,” he told The Post. “This is the Marvel Universe you know with a few constructive tweaks.” DC Comics had similar fresh start in 2011 and while it was initially a smash, there were some creative ups and downs in the aftermath. Some fans were miffed at what they considered unnecessary changes to some of their favourite characters. Alonso insisted Marvel’s approach is much different, as they’re not “throwing away decades of history.” “There may be some new characters. There may be some changes to the relationships. But it’s the Marvel Universe. It’s just the next chapter,” he said. Alonso added that the creative teams are “cherry picking” some of the best parts of Marvel’s previous universes to bring into the new books. The rollout will include about 60 titles, released throughout a four-month span. Among the changes, according to Alonso: • “An all-new Hulk unlike any Hulk you’ve seen before. It’s so much fun and it makes so much story sense that this Hulk will exist. It will raise questions for long-term fans about Bruce Banner (the Green Giant’s alter ego).” • Wolverine will also be back, but it’s not necessarily Logan, the version made famous on screen by Hugh Jackman. “Wolverine is going to return to the Marvel Universe — sort of,” the editor explained. “I fully expect that people’s blood will be boiling and excited in equal measure. Whether that’s a resurrected Logan or someone new … when people see the silhouette of the character, they’re going to freak out.” • Some characters will switch teams — think the Avengers and X-Men … and even sides. • Promotional artwork shows at least two Spider-Mans — Peter Parker and his alternate-reality counterpart Miles Morales — as well as a recent addition to the Spider-Verse: Spider-Gwen, who is from yet another reality and whose secret identity is Gwen Stacy. If she sounds familiar it’s because the original Gwen was Peter’s girlfriend who was killed years ago. (Roll with it, it’s comics.) • The original Captain America — best known to audiences as played by hunky Chris Evans — is no longer youthful and is showing his true age. He’ll remain in that state when the line relaunches, with Sam Wilson, the former Falcon, keeping the famous shield. “We’re allowed to continue doing what we do — which is tell pioneering stories, take chances and have fun and be able to bend the universe without breaking it,” Alonso said. |

That statement may a slight exaggeration, considering it's only a few characters out of the thousands that exist in the Marvel Universe. I don't think Marvel is a mess just because they've got characters who are now women. There have been many changes in the 616 universe recently, with not only gender but also race and sexual orientation, that have have done very well, critically and commercially. In fact, if all those new titles are as half as good as some of the stories in the Battleworld titles, considering all the changes there, this should be a great year for Marvel. What ultimately matters is content, storytelling and art. A great story and a beautifully drawn book is what we all really want.

I used to swear by "The Perfect Viewer" but recently it would continuously crash when I turned my tablet to landscape. Now I use "Comic Rack Free" for android which is 10 times better.

June 27, 2015 Marvel Names Its Most Important Character, And It Isn’t Spider-Man Marvel is currently in the midst of a massive crossover event, and when it emerges from the other side, the company’s densely populated comics universe will be aligned with their film franchise, centering around Iron Man as the most important character. The current event is called Secret Wars, as the Motley Fool reports, and it harkens back to a classic period in Marvel‘s history. In October, the conclusion of this story arc will reset the Marvel comics universe, setting up Iron Man as the central character, and while that may come as a surprise to some fans, they can lay all the blame at the feet of Robert Downey Jr. The success of Downey’s portrayal of Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is lost on no one, and now that film role will help to remake Marvel comics. According to writer Brian Michael Bendis, Marvel is responding to Iron Man’s movie-driven fame by reorienting their comics, placing him at the forefront of the universe. “He’s probably the most well-known super hero in the world alongside Batman. That is an interesting thing,” Bendis observed. As part of the new alignment, Marvel will launch Invincible Iron Man this fall, helmed by Bendis and David Marquez. The title will be the first Iron Man solo excursion for either of the two, who have previously collaborated on other titles for Marvel, as ComicBook.com reports. The series promises to be a major development of Marvel’s premiere character, and appears set to answer some long-standing questions regarding Tony Stark. “We’re tasked with taking the crown jewel of the Disney/Marvel empire. We’re doing a new armor, a new girlfriend, and we will find out who Tony Stark’s birth parents are,” Bendis said. “His new armor will turn into any of his 30 armors on the fly, so he can alter it to do whatever he needs at the moment.” Marvel recently courted controversy when they announced that Tom Holland will play Spider-Man in the character’s next film, as the Inquisitr previously reported. With their decision to re-orient their comics universe around Iron Man, Marvel appears poised to give its fans more of what they want, though only time will tell whether readers agree. |

DC's Futures End 48-week mini-event is AWFUL.
Just in case you hadn't heard. Total spoiler summary: In a dystopian future where Brother Eye has taken over, old Batman sends Batman Beyond Terry McGinnis back to (oops) 5 yrs from now to sabotage the project. Refuges from Earth 2 (from the end of Worlds End, another dud event) brought boucou parademons with them and things are weird. Our Hero Terry bops around, Brainiac makes a guest appearance but is contained in T-sphere in minute, and Brother Eye manifests anyway, and kills Terry. Tim Drake puts on the Batman Beyond costume, tries to stop Brother Eye back during Infinite Crisis, gets the Earth 2 people heading off into Convergence (prevents something?), and ports out to the future. But Brother Eye survived and the future still sucks. There. Now you don't need to spend 5 hours (or $143!) to read it. |
