    Re: Comic Book Fans....

    Secret Wars presser today. Reboot basically. As of #1 both the Ultimate and Regular Marvel Universes will cease to exist and what comes out the end is a mismash of the universes represented on battle world.

    So welcome back Wolverine, Gwen Stacy, Jean, etc. Just a matter of figuring out which ones.



    So bored with current titles, not sure this could really disappoint, so kinda looking forward to it.

      "sigh"

      Marvel has been screwing up their entire line the last 3-4 years what with treating runs on titles like TPBs and rebooting with a new #1 and all these unnecessary/disappointing events.

      At least DC had a rationale for rebooting their line and while it hasn't been perfect it's moving along somewhat organically.

        I haven't been actively reading it, but from tweets I gleaned DC is basically doing the same thing, just haven't quote announced everything yet?

          More or less though it seems what they're doing is more in the background. It also seems more of a soft reboot than a hard one as they're bringing the multiverse back.

            i take this as a full relaunch mainly because we don't really know what comes out of this, do we get Steve Rogers as Cap or the Falcon or a male or female Thor, and they killed off Logan to bring him back in some way five months later

              Maybe all of the above? I guess by using this mechanism they're denying it's a reboot because the 616 history all still happened, just might get new characters mixed into the resulting universe.

              Got Thors?

              Secret Wars #2 is going to be phone book-sized or something, with a complete tour of battleworld.

                I'm not sure thats the case, I just can't see where umpteen Thors exist in the universe, when the Secret wars was announced I remember it being stated Marvel was gonna do something they have never done in their history, to me this is a finale of Marvel as we know it and i'm convinced its a relaunch in terms of the universe in of itself but not so much of the characters

                  DC comics solicits came out today. Between Marvel and DC I'm already tired of the 'xyz universe's' caveat in front of every group, person or event.

                  Really interested in all the toys and statues coming from the Secret Wars event.
                  Licensees include Hasbro, Diamond Select, Mighty Fine, Mad Engine, Funko and Hot Wheels as well as Marvel’s game division.

                    I wouldn't be surprised if they blow up the entire Marvel Universe as we know it and start up anew with a style very similar to how Bendis did Ultimate Spider-Man back when the Ultimate Universe started.

                        Wouldn't be surprised if Miles is the only survivor of the Ultimate universe.

                          I'm a huge fan of Miles Morales as well so I hope he comes out of it alive.

                            I had been enjoying the X books, it will be sad to see Uncanny and All-New X-men cease - if that's actually the case. The current Deadpool run has been solid too. I guess we never will see long runs again. That saddens me.


                            What this will confirm to me as someone whose been a heavy consumer of comics over the last couple years is that I will not be mindlessly picking up as many books as I have. I often find myself purchasing about $40/week worth of books and half are usually Marvel.


                            I felt cheated on the Original Sin story and started becoming jaded after that.


                            I will be a lot more mindful of where I place my dollar now when it comes to Marvel books.

                              Yeah far too many casualties if this really does mean the end of the MU as we know it. The X-Books have been FANTASTIC (except for X-Force which has fallen off a cliff to me) and I love Deadpool as well. The last issue done like a promo comic for Roxxon was HIGH-larious!

                                A poorly drawn cliff at that.

                                Glanced at April DC solicits, 40 #1s... This is going to be the year of #1s.
