After a series of reboots and rejiggerings from Marvel NOW! through Generations and Legacies, the declaration the diversity doesn't sell, the ousting of Axel Alonso and placment of Akira Yoshida as Editor in Chief, Marvel...well it's having a bit of a crisis. DC is making big moves into the OGN, trade, and YA markets while Marvel doesn't seem to know what it wants. Having cancelled several diverse titles before the first trades even came out, Marvel now looks to be reversing course of some as sales figures come back.* Titles like West Coast Avengers will attempt to salvage characters from others as a team book. Will they be successful?? Find out next month! Excelsior!!! *Look for Unstoppable Wasp in October! -Ed Previous Thread site fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Jun 29, 2018 |

Dang you're right I should've ran 4 concurrent teaser threads for a few months before merging them into a return of the marvel thread

2099 is future proofing the thread since x-o never changes the title when the next year rolls around

Diet Poison posted:Does Gwenpool's power set extend to being able to travel in and out of the Marvel Universe at will? I don't really remember the whole deal with her future self at the end of the run. It'd be neat they could keep her going with limited runs and stuff. She's approaching "so powerful it's hard to convincingly write around" levels, but so are at least 10 other heroes so whatever. If you want to classify panel space as outside the universe then yeah you could say that TheHan posted:And while I really enjoyed Gwenpool it ending on a meta story where she tries to prevent her inevitable cancellation but doesn’t want to become the character people expect her to be to sell books is awesome, and there’s no telling if we’d get that story if the book kept going. I mean the whole moral of the story for that arc was that even if the book is cancelled it's never really The End for her so I don't see why not

TheHan posted:That’s also why I’m fine with Unbelievable ending where it did. The whole final issue was about Gwen coming to terms with her story ending, since she realizes that she’ll have other stories down the road and it’s okay if things end for now. It’d be weird to immediately keep going after hammering that home. Alternatively 5 months without gwenpool is a crime against humanity and I'm filling a petition with the Hague

I think marvel committing genocide on two different ethnicities on the same day so casually is actually a good distillation of how they view marginalzed groups at the company

Covok posted:How is it hard? Spider-Man and Mary Jane are a couple. They have couple problems. Mary Jane's personality was defined in the Steve Ditko/Stan Lee run. Make her that but grown up. Have her involved with his life, like spouses tend to be. Have her have her own problems. Have them intersect like Peter and Spider-Man's problems do. Siri, show me the venn diagram of people who wrote married Spider-Man and have always been single, are vocally misogynist, and/or have been divorced

Unkempt posted:Kind of enjoying Exiles, but I'm not sure having Kamala Khan dying in a suicide bombing is very good optics Marvel. Lol you're really reaching here I definitely agree with everyone saying the arc has some major pacing issues tho Was this issue the first time it was mentioned kamala had ended up marrying Bruno?

The current arc is an "atoning for sins thing" which is why Natasha and Bucky are helping him out and it involves Hydra

Kelly had a great handle on the characters, the art fit, 40 pages, the surprise drop, just all of it E: rip spider-gwen I enjoyed all the different art styles immortal hulk had for the different versions of the story Del Mundo art was made for Thor, just so good Life of captain marvel was okay I guess E2: i just love the way this looks
