God I'm upset they're already rebooting Secret Avengers. After All New Xmen that's my favorite title right now. And all they're doing is changing writers and adding a teammate. Since when does that need a new #1? God I hate Marvels constant marketing ploys.
 
Uh, no, when Ales Kot takes over, it's starting with a whole new #1. It's right there above the cover they revealed at the con.
 
Oh well dang that is dumb, I don't read Secret Avengers I thought it was being dual numbered like Avengers 24.Now (#1)
 
Superior Spider-Man and Friends NYCC Panel details:

Wacker then moved on to a teaser called "The End," featuring Dan Slott and Guiseppe Camuncoli. Wacker said that leads to Superior Spider-Man #27.Now. "Everything that has been going on in Superior Spider-Man has been setting up dominoes - BAM! Everything goes down here," Slott said. "The Green Goblin on one side, Superior Spider-Man on the other." Slott said the title is "Goblin Nation."

"All bets are off," Slott said. "Anyone can go."

There will be a time jump between Team-Up #9 and Superior #27.NOW, Pyle said.

In March, Kelly Sue Deconnick and David Lopez will be relaunching Captain Marvel. "Higher - literally. We're taking her cosmic," DeConnick said. "You know that moment in the song 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia'? 'I done told you once you son of a gun, I'm the best that ever been.' That's Carol."

DeConnick said "we are taking her into space, to let her do what she does best." The story arc's name is "Higher, Faster, Further, More." DeConnick said that Carol Danvers was a character who always strove to go higher. "Of course she became a pilot - everything in that world is trying to get off the ground."

Finally, the teaser featuring the word "Assassin," with Zeb Wells and Mike Del Mundo: Elektra #1. Amanat said Elektra is back, and "what's so wonderful about this storyline is that is references some of what Frank Miller and Bill Sienkiewicz did. We're trying to show who Elektra is, when she no longer has the one person in her life that means more than anything else - Daredevil. Who is Elektra when she goes off on this journey by herself?" The story features Elektra trying to kill a guild of assassins.
 
The War teaser was indeed a New Warriors relaunch with Scarlet Spider on the team:

‘Diversity’ seem to a theme Marvel is trying to play up in their superhero universe lately, and in February 2014 a new ongoing series will play up that diversity theme in a way only a large superhero universe title can.

New Warriors is another Marvel attempt at the revival of the once hit 90’s series, this time as an All-New Marvel NOW! launch, this time reuniting Speedball, Justice, and Nova (though not the original New Warrior), along with a slew of new members, including a certain fairly-recognizable guy that can do everything a spider can.

Written by Chris Yost with art by Marcus To, according to the publisher a “different kind of war” is coming with “mutants, Inhumans, Atlanteans, Deviants, Clones, alien half-breeds, magical beings” all identified as threats to humanity and “targeted for extinction.”

The two original members and the new Nova assemble a new team from different corners of the MU to “save the world and have fun doing it.”

More info from the panel:

The next title is "Hunted," featuring Nathan Edmondson and Mitch Gerads: The Punisher #1. "Gerads draws an incredibly handsome Punisher - it's a good-looking book," Thomas said. "This book is going to be really incredible. Nathan has some really interesting ideas about the Punisher... his big thing is about finding the head of the snake, so he thinks he's found it in L.A." Not only is Punisher hunting the bad guys, there's a government group called the 131 that is trying to hunt him down, too.

"It's going to be a gorgeous, fun, bloody, violent book, and I think you're going to love it," Thomas said.

Next, the teaser for "War": Chris Yost and Marcus To will be taking on New Warriors.

Nova, Speedball, Justice, Scarlet Spider will be part of the team, as well as Sun Girl and a new Inhuman, as well as an Atlantean and a mutant. "We're assembling superheroes of all backgrounds and all races, and they've all been deemed a threat," Amanat said. "They must protect the people that they love."

What is the purpose of the New Warriors when we have a powerful team like the Avengers? Amanat said that would be discussed in the book. "It's about these kids coming together and getting to know each other and exploring who they can become outside of the Avengers." Wacker said the vibe of this book was around Marv Wolfman's Teen Titans and Brian K. Vaughan's Runaways. It's due out in February.

The floor was then opened for questions. Are there any other characters you'd want to see cross paths with Superior Spider-Man? Slott: "Keep reading."
 
Kaine's joining up with the NW? Cool. Yost is writing? MUST....GEEET! Izzat? Hummingbird? Zounds, take my money!
 
Will they still continue the Scarlet Spider comic?
 
^ No, it's cancelled.

Superior Spider-Man 27.NOW:

A younger member of the crowd asks if Iron Fist will get his own series. "That is a very good question that only I know that I can't tell you the answer to, because it's not four weeks from now," Wacker says, before continuing, "No. There's no 'Iron Fist' series. Happy kids' day."

Will Lady Octopus, Carolyn Trainer, meet Superior Spider-Man? Slott says that you'll see allusion to the character in the upcoming Stunner story, but he can't speak for Trainer herself. The same fan asks how Carol Danvers would do in a "smackdown" with Hal Jordan. DeConnick, succinctly: "Who?"

Surprising the panel, a fan in a Captain Marvel costume asks a Punisher question: Will Rachel Alves be in the new "Punisher" series? Thomas says there's no plans at the moment; Wacker says the character may show up elsewhere.

Will the Iron Spider costume show up anytime soon? "No plans right now," Slott says.

An audience member asks the entire panel for their favorite version of Spider-Man. Ramos: "Doc Ock." Pyle: "The Superior Spider-Man is superior." Slott: "I love them all. Seriously, for me, it's always going to be '67 [animated] Spider-Man." Amanat: "Miles Morales." Spencer: "Peter, black suit era." Brennan: "I've been editing Scarlet Spider for a little under two years now. I kind of love Kaine." Brennan takes a moment to praise the work of the "Scarlet Spider" creative team, and thanked the fans for their support during its two years -- and telling them to pick up "New Warriors" in March, since the character will be there. Thomas also picks Morales. DeConnick goes with "classic red-and-blue Peter."

Another young fan asks for more "Spider-Man: Noir." "I will really try to make that happen," Wacker replies. "I just can't say that today."

More questions

A young fan dressed as the Blonde Phantom asked if there would be any plans for the Blonde Phantom. Wacker said that for her, he would make it happen.

Another young fan asked if there would be a Superior Spider-Man TV show? Slott said that would be cool - he will be appearing in the next Lego game, however. Wacker said that the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon would be the biggest its ever been in its next season.

An audience member asked what is going on with Norman Osborn. Slott said that Osborn was in a coma, but his body vanished under armed guard - but the new Goblin hasn't been unmasked yet. Another audience member asked if it was David Bowie.

What's the dynamic between Spider-Man and Captain Marvel? A fan said it felt like seeing Captain America and Iron Man. DeConnick said "they tried flirting, but it was so lame, so they felt that does not work. They have a noogie relationship. It's like a little brother kind of relationship." "But that Spider-Man is dead," Slott said.

Will Carol be running into the Guardians of the Galaxy? DeConnick said "that would be awesome."

A young fan asked if Superior Spider-Man would use Dr. Octopus's arms, but Slott said that that would blow his cover.

An audience member asked what excited Slott most about writing Silver Surfer. "Honestly, working with Mike Allred - he's so enthusiastic about this," Slott said. "This allows me to unleash my sci-fi geek side."

If Amazing Spider-Man's motto was "with great power comes great responsibility," what's the motto for Superior? Slott said the motto is the same, but it's interpreted an entirely different way: Otto sees it as "might makes right."

Will Alpha come back? Wacker said he is appearing in Young Avengers. No plans beyond that. "He's suck a jerk!" Slott said.

Any word to bring back Ben Reilly? No, Wacker said. "He's a pile of goo," Slott said.

A fan dressed as the Big Time version of Spider-Man asked Wacker if he specialized in these sort of quirky, smart-alecky books. Wacker said that the tone is based on the writer - Spencer makes Superior Foes irreverent, DeConnick injects spirit into Captain Marvel, and Matt Fraction gives Hawkeye its own unique humor.

Who is your favorite Spider-Man girlfriend? Ramos: Gwen. Pyle: MJ. Slott: Anna-Maria Marcone. Spencer: Gwen. The rest of the panel said MJ.

When will Black Cat learn about Dr. Octopus? "Read Issue #20," Slott said.
 
Some really cool covers. Interesting that Frank's getting a new book, I'll have to check it out!

Are all the reveals done? I guess my hopes for some symbiote action are dashed, huh?
 
Yes those are all the announcements. Something will happen to the Symbiote in Superior Spider-Man 21-25, as Slott said in the questions portion of the panel.
 
Haven't kept up with all this, wow alot of new titles.

Any word on if Nico and Chase are showing up anywhere post Avengers Arena?
 
Well I'm definitely interested in Silver Surfer, She Hulk and All-New X-Factor.
 
We don't know if they're going to be in that though, hence why I'll be pissed if he kills them off.
 
Yeah, just read that interview with Hopeless and their names were not mentioned. Doesn't mean they are out but I don't think all the AA characters are going to that title. Was hoping they would go with a new a new Runaways book.

As much as I like Arena, I'll be very pissed off if they bite the dust. Nico is definitely worthy of a larger role in the Marvel universe imo.
