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.

agreed. the fact that they are leaving the younger versions mixed with the adult versions is really lame. super gimmicky and honestly doesnt make much sense. basically they realized the characters got screwed up so they reset by timetraveling them and ignoring the adult versions.

i can see that. as a kid of the 90s i get excited over those characters. all about nostalgia. i know nothing about karnak but as you said, warren ellis? yes, please. ill probably give it a few issues.

i guess im in the minority but i cannot stand dan slott on spidey. but hes been on there forever, so people must like him.
