Wait, so is Avengers not even gonna hit a milestone issue before it relaunches? It’s on 681 right now.Diabolical wrote:Well, so much for Legacy.
Marvel announced another relaunch coming soon, like Marvel Now a few years ago.
All the Avengers titles will be condensed in one title with Avengers #1.

That's still 19 issues (or 2 relaunches) away.

Re: The current state of disarray at Marvel
It's weekly right now, running through until 686 or 687. I would suggest they'll #1 again after that then revert again for 700. We've seen this shit before.

I wonder if he'll continue "TRUTH". The guy is a major current events writer from the perspective of black folks outside his comic writing.

Re: The current state of disarray at Marvel
Wow, I started reading it and realized how long it was. I’ll have to come back and finish it.
I think it’s amusing that they “finish” the definitive run (Englehart and Pollard) exactly where I started buying FF, with Simonson’s run.

Re: The current state of disarray at Marvel
I have read WAY more after that point than before. I'm amassing collections of the Lee Kirby stuff but I'm not at the point yet where I can go through it in proper order. I have all the Byrne issue here as well, but again they sit there waiting to be read. Getting closer to the top of the list though.

Re: The current state of disarray at Marvel
I’ve read a bunch of the Byrne stuff but all out of order.
When I first started collecting, I was buying a lot of stuff one issue at a time in both directions. So with FF I was getting Simonson’s stuff, but also buying Englehart’s stuff backwards towards 300 and reading it backwards one issue at a time.

Re: The current state of disarray at Marvel
It's interesting to me, the more I read ABOUT Marvel, the more I hear that Englehart's runs on many books were among the best. I've never sought out his runs based on name alone, but I think that might be in the works for FF & CAP anyhow.

Re: The current state of disarray at Marvel
Re fucking re relaunched. Black Panther also gets a new #1, and I'm sure there are others.

Re: The current state of disarray at Marvel
Some good news...
The changes for all Issue #1’s include a brand new trade dress highlighting an issue’s creative team, a smaller UPC box, and dual numbering for the higher Legacy numbering and the lower, relaunched number.

Re: The current state of disarray at Marvel
Well. That only took them like 12 years to figure out.

Re: The current state of disarray at Marvel
They announced a new West Coast Avengers series starting both Hawkeyes, Gwenpool, Quentin Quire, and America Chavez.
The hook is they are not a well funded team, so they’ll be making money to run the team by being on a reality show.
So the problem there is does no one remember what happened the last time there was a reality show about superheroes? The New Warriors all died, 600 people in Stamford CT exploded, and Civil War started.
So A. Why would any superhero think it would be a good idea to be on a reality show, and more importantly B. Why would any network, studio and/or producer sign off on a reality show, knowing the stigma attached to the previous one?
