do you just read everything marvel puts out?
is there anything you dont seem excited for?
ive read comics what seems like forever. im betting half these books will feel like retreads but with new characters. thats what happened with DCs relaunch with maybe 3 exceptions (like snyder's batman).
benids was an amazing writer. i just dont see new ideas from him. his extremely heavy dialogue has gotten tiresome. his last arcs on ultimate spider-man were pretty bad. same with all new x-men. hopefully he gets his mojo back.
but to freaux's question on how long this will stay, probably a year or two. its comics. nothing stays forever and the normal characters always return. just gotta hope for a fun ride in between.

Well, it's 15 of 50 books I plan on reading, so no... it's not everything. I think X-Men has run its course for me. I'm pretty much done with them. I don't care about the Spidey-Verse (Jessica Drew predates that). I can hardly stand Deadpool. Pretty much anything to do with SHIELD or Iron Man bores me to tears. I'm not much on the big fighting books.
But I like the odd, quirky titles and this reboot is heavy on odd and quirky. They are bringing a lot of stuff from the back of the shelf to the front, and I couldn't be more excited. This is an old school nerd's dream: Squadron Supreme? Howard the Duck? Star-Brand? Karnak? These are 1970s/80s pulp heroes getting the red carpet treatment. Of course I'm excited for that stuff. I'll also read just about anything Ellis or Bendis does.
Also, Noelle Stevenson is under contract with Marvel after leaving Lumberjanes. I'll read whatever she writes, though she has no announced title yet.

To be fair, he'd been on the title for quite awhile.

It did get pretty rough at the end. I did enjoy the young Cyclops spinoff series.
His Uncanny X-men run was beyond excellent and my rage at this "reboot" is pretty much solely due to that story not getting to properly run its course. There was so much more to be done with the direction they were heading.

I'd give Marvel a little more credit than that. They've made some pretty big status quo changes to many characters since 2000 and they stuck with it for way longer than I ever expected.
That's actually why I'm more disappointed in Marvel with this reboot as they've done a very good job with staying in continuity and keeping things fresh.
