Peter Parker is no longer Spiderman (again). Falcon is now Captain America, Thor is now female, no more Fantastic Four. Perfect time for me to save money.
 
I disagree, nobody said Peter is not Spider-Man anymore, he's featured on the all new all different marvel teaser image as Spidey, we just don't know if he'll have his own title (which he'll probably have), Falcon is perfect as cap, he really did own up to the role and Steve is also around but just not as cap and the new Thor is also an interesting, well written character, and once again the old Thor is still around. The Fantastic four will appear on diffent teams, just not as a whole, which is fine they're allowed to take a break. Marvel is doing a lot of great, fun, well written books lately but the problem is people just can't seem to accept change even when it's good, or they just don't give it a chance all together. Have even read the new Cap and Thor books, and Ultimate Spider-Man with Miles? If you did and didn't enjoy it then that's fine, don't read them and go buy Unbeatable Squirrel girl, Howard the Duck, Ms. Marvel, Silk, Spider-Gwen or Silver Surfer among some, but if you haven't read it then you can't criticize it.

Also you only mentioned Marvel so even if you don't like what they're doing right now their is other stuff you can read, maybe try some Image.
 
I am basically familiar with the Marvel history and I used to buy Superman too. I can understand occasionally changing things up but right now I barely recognize anyone. I said break vs. stopping as I know eventually things will be back to normal but my favorite books have always been Amazing Spiderman and Fantastic Four. The others I liked but weren't a "must read". If Peter will still be Spiderman, I'll likely continue with that one. But the problem I have is they just did a "Peter is not Spiderman" story.
 
And I repeat nobody said he's not Spidey anymore. There can be two ofthem running around. And my point still stands if you haven't read it you can't judge.

And I heard you the first time. Still no FF. As I said above if that is the case I will likely still buy the Spiderman book but that will be it.

Agreed, even before this I felt the stories were losing interest. Even if they didn't do this I was getting ready to drop all Avengers titles. New Avengers I didn't even read and the Avengers titles became boring. Only books I was really reading from front to back were Spiderman (looks like that will still be ok) and the Fantastic Four. I think the FF will be back eventually but until then down to one book.
 
The teaser featured someone in a red and blue Spidey costume that looked similar to Peter's. I haven't seen a single thing yet that guaranteed that he will be in the costume after this event.
