Marvel Now - Part 4

[roach]

Huh, didn't know Silver Surfer could do that. Curious to see how this book plays out.

I don't like that it's voice activated like an Xbox One

It's not voice activated. He was finishing his sentence from the previous panel.

[Norrin Parker]

more Wolverine?? They cant be that crazy right?

edit" Maybe Winter Soldier?

 

[roach]

It looks like it says Weapon 1.

 

[Norrin Parker]

Now that I think about it it's probably a new arc for Savage Wolverine

 

[Themanofbat]

I'm surprised JewHob's not in here talking about the new Iron Fist on-going...

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Well that's what Weapon was about. I couldn't be more excited.

 

[Specter313]

Yep, that's what the "Weapon" teaser was for:

He is a living weapon, and he's going solo once again, this time at the hands of Kaare Andrews.

Iron Fist: The Living Weapon debuts in April, 2014 from Marvel Comics, and Andrews is promising a "revenge-fueled martial arts epic" for Danny Rand's newest ongoing series. The dual threat is actually going quintuple threat on this series, planning to write, pencil, ink, color, and provide covers for the book. Hero Complex announced the series Wednesday morning, after a Tuesday afternoon one-word teaser from Marvel that just said "Weapon" and the writer/artist's name.

Andrews approach is a love letter to martial arts films, but with no regard for budget. He says his story would never fit on TV or film, but the creator, who has also worked as a director in Hollywood, wants it to remain cinematic in feel.

Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso agreed with the approach, telling HC, “The way I looked at Iron Fist, I thought … I’d love to have someone come in and tell a movie, just treat the reader like they’ve stepped into a cinema, they’re sitting down in a seat, the lights go down, the curtain comes up."

The story will tie directly to Iron Fist's origin, the mystical city of K'un-Lun, and the choices he made in becoming a hero. When Andrews looked deeper at his origin, he said, "I finally understood who this guy was, and its the guy who traded life for death." Alonso added that the new series will explore "where he stands in the universe, spiritually and physically."

In order to keep up with a monthly schedule, Andrews is doing the interior art all digitally for the first time on a project. Covers will still be drawn on paper, though, which he calls a "personal" experience that allows him to feel like "a real artist and not just a computer program."

Iron Fist: The Living Weapon, part of All-New Marvel NOW! comes to stores this April.

There's a bunch of interior art at a link within the link as well.

 

[BoredGuy]

I'm filling in at a job that doesn't allow for much computer time.

But I just saw this and wanted to sneak in and say....

YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

 

[venom892]

Really looking forward to it. Andrews is pretty talented.

[javi1024]

I'm gonna say Doop series.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Holy crap. That'd be hilarious. I'd say more likely a mini than an ongoing, but still... that'd be great.

 

[runawayboulder]

I'd read it.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I wouldn't, but I like the creativity

 

[Specter313]

One thing that was noted in the article accompanying this is that this is the 10 year anniversary since X-Statix started, so it could be a reunion of sorts with those characters and not just Doop.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Now that'd be kinda cool. Though aren't all of them dead? Well, I guess Doop was killed with them at the end of the series as well and he's still alive, so there's that. I never read the Deadgirl mini, so maybe I missed something.

I always wanted to see Orphan go mainstream. Never cared for the rest though. At least not outside of their own title. I loved it when it was X-Force. Less so when it was X-Statix.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'll pass on that Doop nonsense.

 

[runawayboulder]

There's also a new Amazing Spider-Man book coming by Slott and Ramos. I'd post the promo pic but 1) I'm real lazy right now and 2) Marvel is asking sites to take down the image, so I don't know how the mods would feel about it.

 

[Watchman]

Aw yiss, the world needs more Doop, X-Statix, and Milligan. Now if we could only get one of these teasers that say Face-Punch or Kick-splosion by Ellis.

Saw the pic, and I was surprised by how happy Pete looks. I know that usually the covers don't always translate literally to the interior content, but with his huge grin, mask off, he's giving off a "it's good to be back with all being right in the world" feel. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I'm starting to wonder if for once he wont have Parker Luck and come out of this not smelling like a garbage dump. Hmmm...

 

[JewishHobbit]

I saw it. It was kind of a stupid looking cover in my opinion, but then, I'm not a huge Ramos fan.

Ugh, I hate Milligan's writing.

He thought it was a good idea to have Gambit sleep with Mystique as well as volunteer to become a horseman of Apocalypse and get super snot powers.

God what a terrible writer.
