As for Johnny it takes a special kind of guy to date your ex's (Crystal) sister Medusa who is separated from her husband.What a dickbag,lol.

Johnny Storm,as I've said before, is the walking STD in the Marvel Universe. If he doesn't suggest a 3 way with the two sisters, I'll be disappointed.

I'm interested in The Ultimates as well-Black Panther's new heavy hitting Avengeresque team.Blue Marvel will be in it. I'm all for more Black Superheroes in the forefront so they can stop with race baiting movie casting....


Agree.

Totally Awesome Hulk looks fun.


But we still don't know who it is right?

quote:

I feel like Marvel is taking a lot of the big Avengers players off the board(Rogers is old, Stark is "poor", Odinson isn't worthy,Banner is just Banner,) the F4 are broken up and the leader of X-Men (Cyclops and Logan) are no longer around in the normal capacity.


Which is why I'm wondering if this will stick. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised either way. Can Marvel be more interesting without Steve Rogers as Cap, without a Banner-Hulk, a Tony Iron Man, etc.?

Even New 52, as much as it shook things up, pretty much kept players the same. Marvel's taking a big risk, and at least giving the impression that it's sticking, which, to me, is kind of cool. And I've liked comics for a long time, so this is kind of nuts.

I think they are doing a good job of introducing more diversity while also keeping the old school fans happy. You can do both, which I think everyone forgets. You can have "edgy" violent books and funny, quirky books. You can appeal to both girls and boys. It's always been a false choice.

Also, the initial announcement was not the whole line. Since then, they've announced a few more titles like Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and Star Brand. What I'm looking forward to:

New Avengers: Hawkeye stuck with a bunch of goof characters? And an AIM tie-in? Sign me up!

Ultimates: Thrilled to see both Captain Marvels on the team, and they have hinted that somehow Galactus will be a regular. Yeah, I'm curious.

Captain Marvel: Pretty much my favorite characters in the main Marvel universe. New creative team, as DeConnick ran her course.

Captain America: Sam Wilson is awesome. I'm in.

Ms. Marvel: The best new character in a decade. Her book is so much fun and I'm not quitting it now.

Spider-Man: I'll follow Bendis. Morales is a neat inversion of the Spidey mythos, but really, I just like Bendis as a writer.

Guardians of the Galaxy: See above.

Spider-Woman: Man, talk about blowback for the sexy butt cover.

Daredevil: Oh, look. Murdock again has an amazing writer on his book.

Howard the Duck: frick, yes!

Uncanny Inhumans: I'll admit, I'm intrigued by Beast and Human Torch with the Inhumans.

Karnak: Warren f'n Ellis.

Squadron Supreme: OK, this is intriguing. SS is Mark Gruewald's greatest work, and it even predates Watchmen as a deconstruction of the comic genre. Gru died almost 25 years ago, and his creations have largely been untouchable. I'm very curious what they do with his alt reality heroes, and it better be a fitting legacy to Gru.

Star Brand: You've got to be kidding me. Jim Shooter's infamous New Universe is coming back? Are they bringing back the Pitt? Star Brand is one of the most underrated titles in Maevel history, and I'm psyched for this.

Squirrel Girl: Because I like hats.
