I always hope Ewing can stay on a book because he's really good. Unfortunately his books always get cut criminally short. Hulk is the first time he's on an A-List title though for a character that will probably sell regardless of who's writing so let's hope that helps.

I'm still miffed that Rocket only lasted 6 issues

Re: extermination—what about that story from a few years ago where the original X-Men returned to their time but found out they couldn’t go back because “the timeline” or whatever had already replaced them? Did that get retconned?

Wasn't McKeever writing Titans at the height of DC's grimdark editorial mandate, though?

yeah IIRC he complained about heavy editorial interference (at least one issue was released with no credited scripter, just a weird "original story by" credit for McKeever)

Civil War II was literally conceptualized so Marvel could have a new comic called "Civil War" on the stands as Captain America: Civil War was in the theaters. Captain Marvel wasn't announced until a month after CW2 #1 came out, so I'm not so sure those were anything more than coincidental given the lead time for a comic.

Brie Larson was officially cast in 2016, but the Captain Marvel movie was announced way back in 2014. So I definitely think the MCU was the impetus for making her so central to CWII

Nah, I'd say it's most likely because of the movie getting delayed until who knows when. This also gives them time to put more issues in the can.

it got delayed less than two months, but the movie got delayed til November 2021. I doubt there's much of a connection

Based on the press release, this is going to be its own thing and not a storyline in Avengers.

Does "Their critically-acclaimed work on AVENGERS will reach its zenith" mean that this is the finale of Aaron's Avengers run (even though it's not in Avengers per se)?

i remember Marvel publishing a number of black-and-white anthology comics circa 2009-10 as homage to the 70s B&W magazines

can't remember any of them, but they had some good writers here and there so there must've been some good material somewhere

I remember Jim Starlin saying he got paid a ton more for KGBeast appearing (pretty much unnamed) in BvsS than he did for all his creations in Marvel movies combined.

Len Wein said in one interview that he'd gotten paid more for co-creating Lucius Fox than for Wolverine

DC's (comparative) generosity re royalties probably stemmed more from rear end-covering (after Siegel and Shuster's economic straits circa Donner Superman gave them bad publicity) than anything else, though

They did a one shot near the start of the Krakoa era, that said they were doing an ongoing, but it was before COVID and this is the first time anyone said anything about it since so I think a lot of people like me assumed it was one of the quietly canceled books.

Allred said last year that it was still happening, but as that was over a year after the initial announcement I'd also missed it and figured it was altogether dead

Has The Maker been in anything since Ewing's New Avengers/US Avengers with Sunspot running the team?

He had a major role in Donny Cates' Venom run. Also appeared in the 2019 Future Foundation mini, and in a couple issues of the Ghost-Spider book in 2020 (those I didn't read, I'm going by a Marvel wiki).

I forget if the Maker has been up to anything lately. The last appearance I remember was in Cates's Venom so I'm not sure when he got captured, but it doesn't really matter for the story being told.

I don’t think he’s appeared much of anywhere between Cates’ Venom run and now (somebody let me know if I’m forgetting something).

they did what everyone seems to have been thinking they would

https://twitter.com/EW/status/1679846479605780480

quote:

Iman Vellani, the actor who plays Kamala in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — starting with last year's Ms. Marvel series on Disney+, and continuing on the big screen with The Marvels later this year — will co-write the new comic alongside Ms. Marvel TV writer Sabir Pirzada. Carlos Gomez and Adam Gorham will handle the art, and Sara Pichelli will provide the main covers.

"This was way scarier than joining the MCU for me," Vellani tells EW. "Those projects feel like they live in their own dimension, so I guess I can separate myself easier. But you can hold a comic book! I've never written anything before in my entire life, but I have read many comics, so I just wrote what I would want to read. I was given a very professional tool to write what is essentially my own fan fiction."

In a nod to that big revelation from the Ms. Marvel series finale, the new comic will be titled Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant. Like her onscreen counterpart, the comic version of Kamala is officially a mutant now. That's also the explanation for why she's coming back so soon, because modern Marvel readers know that the X-Men have mastered the art of bringing mutants back to life.

I am truly shocked that the ad campaign of having these unknown, original characters pop up for a single page in every other Marvel comic isn't the sure fire way of creating interest it seems to be.

Especially when most of those pages feature said characters doing little except delivering cryptic bullshit, and have almost nothing to do with the comics in which they’re appearing
