No, he just choked him out. Only nearly killing him, so no big deal of course.

Ms. Marvel using her powers to their full effect would be gnarly as hell. Add making her a mutant and I'm game.

I'd be cool with these as the new A and B teams, but the kids might disprove that.

Assuming the announced lineup of USA is complete, there's still plenty of characters left in New for a book and Ewing has room on his plate with Contest dead.

ANAD less so, with the three kids gone and especially if Tony bites it in CW2 like people are guessing he might.

ANADA could add Scott Lang and Lady Hawkguy (and maybe She-Hulk?), and stick with the Big-Name Avengers Legacies theme.

I'd heard a long time ago that Marvel lost the rights to Champions as a title. If Marvel got the rights back to name a book Champions I'd guess they'll be keeping the book around a while just to keep the name.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



Squizzle posted:

Making the two wild, unjustified assumptions that there's no roster overlap between the Champions and main Avengers team, and that the current ANAD Avengers otherwise stick around there—that leaves a super traditional Avengers squad: Cap, Thor, Iron Man, Wasp, and Vision. But 60% of them are recent legacies taking up those super-identities, so still very New/Different.

I don't think it's too unjustified when the variant Champions cover is Miles, Sam and Kamala burning their Avengers ID cards

They can't be telegraphing killing off Tony Stark, can they? I can't imagine the MU without him. Course, I never thought that Thor, Wolverine, and Steve Rogers would be replaceable (I haven't read far back enough for any of the Cap being dead stuff, and probably will never bother) but here we are. Maybe they're replacing him with a black girl in an attempt to make small minded people worldwide collapse into black holes of internet-fury.
e: Course, I just noticed neither Sam Wilson nor Jane Foster are on that promo, either, and I'll eat my hat if they kill them off. So who knows.
Gonna buy the poo poo out of that Champions book, yes I am.

I think this book and USAvengers pretty much guarantees that ANAD and New Avengers are ending. Since both writers are moving on as well.

Again, though - Ewing was writing 3 marvel books and one just ended/was canceled so he could still be writing New, USA, and Ultimates. Medina would probably need to be replaced though.

If New is ending, they better find a place for Wiccan, Hulkling, and Hawkeye.

I seriously doubt New is ending since Ewing's doing the whole Maker stuff there, unless he folds it into U.S.

Also, yeah, Ewing made Wiccan and Hulkling officially engaged so unless he does the inevitable wedding real soon (Especially because their engagement/wedding preparations have been a consistent throughline of NA) I, again, just aren't seeing Ewing moving off the book anytime soon. Especially since New is probably the most "high profile" of the books that he's writing right now.

I'm rewatching Wolverine and the X-Men and the snippets of the Academy X kids are just so tantalising. Dust and Mercury actually do get some small moments since Kyle & Yost were writers on the show (Kyle as the main writer).

Surge showed up recently in Extraordinary X-Men I believe, as a background character? Also, Hellion had M-Pox issues outside New Attilan and Pixie was in a splash page of Civil War II when they're fighting the Celestial. But really, it's just Anole representing them Post-SW if I'm not missing anyone?

Hey you guys, what are the must-read titles coming out of the most recent marvel universe reboot?

So far I've got Old Man Logan and Wolverine on my list, anything else?

e: I was thinking of checking out Spider-Man since I liked Miles Morales, and maybe Amazing Spider-Man, how are those two?

Relaunch, not reboot. There is a difference. Rebirth for DC is also a relaunch, not a reboot. As to your question: Ultimates, Mockingbird, Vision, All New All Different Avengers, Captain Marvel, Amazing Spider-Man, Silk, Black Widow, Deadpool, Uncanny/All New Inhumans, All New X-Men and Totally Awesome Hulk are my favorites right now.

I'll rank them from most to least important to read. (All these I'd consider must-read, though).

Vision
Ultimates
New Avengers
Silk
Spider-Woman
Spider-Women (the crossover series, since it involves the above two books - which you absolutely should be reading and there are issues of the above two books that won't make much sense without the crossover issues/issues of Spider-Gwen, a book you probably shouldn't read)
All-New Wolverine
Ms. Marvel
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
A-Force (read the SW tie-in first)
Uncanny Inhumans (I'm a big Inhumans fan so I'm biased but 10 is legit the best single issue of a comic that I've read this year that didn't exist in Vision)
Black Panther
Howard the Duck
The Mighty Thor

These books I'd recommend as "must read" but they have far too few issues to say one way or the other.

Spider-Man
Gwenpool


Having read it sometime last week, I'd add in Mockingbird somewhere around Silk, probably just below it.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Vision, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, New Avengers, Ultimates, Spider-Man, Totally Awesome Hulk, All-New X-Men, All-New All-Different Avengers. In that order.

Amazing Spider-Man is... it's Slott writing Spider-Man. It's quite good by Slott writing Spider-Man standards, but not excellent or must-read or anything.
