Marvel Now

[runawayboulder]

His Adjectiveless X-Men is horrible. Literally gives me indigestion.

He doesn't write that.....

Do you mean Uncanny? And if you do then - triple

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Aaahh, Adjectiveless is written by "Gischler". He's the one that sucks. I'm actually loving Uncanny lol. Gillen's alright

 

[runawayboulder]

Sorry to keep correcting you but Gischler left X-Men. Brian Wood has been the writer for a few months now, I think at least 2 months after Schism ended. But yeah, you're right, Gischler was not good on X-Men. I had high expectations for him.

Oh, I stopped reading it while Gischler was writing. I think I skimmed the last issue and it didn't read any better so I'm not impressed with Woods either.

Waid and Yu as expected have been announced as the new creative team for The "Indestructible" Hulk:

[runawayboulder]

Only 2 left for the rest of the week. I wonder what key word they're going to use to describe Captain America? Liberty? Soldier? I'm sure for the FF it will be "Fantastic".

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I'm pumped for the indestructible hulk t:

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Love Waid, but I hate yu. I'm torn on whether to read that.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I have never really read waid, but I hear he's acceptional. As far as yu goes, I don't hate him but he's not anyone I'd pick for any particular comic, but I'm giving him a chance and I think hulk is probably one of the characters he could do well on.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Waid has come out saying that his Hulk run will be more in tone with his run on Daredevil as opposed to the more previous takes dealing with the psychological stuff.

That's great news. Waid has been exceptional on Daredevil and I think the tone has quite a bit to do with it. People want to see superheroes being superheroes again. Definitely picking this up.

 

[Mulholland-Jr]

So Fantastic Four is confirmed to be relaunched right?

 

[hippie_hunter]

So Fantastic Four is confirmed to be relaunched right?

It's rumored that it will be relaunched under Fraction and Larocca. I gotta say though so far after some incredibly underwhelming announcements when they first showed off Marvel NOW, the latest announcements have been pretty damn good. At least I know that I can keep continuing with Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man.

I swear Hulk is like the most relaunched Marvel character

 

[Belvedere]

Reckon Punisher probably pips Hulk for the "Most Relaunched" award.

You could throw a rock and hit somebody that's be relaunched. It's like finding a needle in a stack of needles. It's like.......oh, you get the point.

I swear Hulk is like the most relaunched Marvel character

This should be the seventh book for the Bruce Banner version of the Hulk. However, the Punisher beats the Hulk with nine and Captain America has eight. Iron Man is tied with seven as well.

What makes the Hulk seem worse is that they just keep ****ing around with the numberings and starring character. At least with most characters, it's pretty easy to follow numerically and for the most part keep focused on the main character. With Hulk on the other hand, especially in the post-Civil War era, they've had the Red Hulk (who is now being replaced by Red She-Hulk) and Hercules take over his books and last for quite some time while relaunching the Hulk at the same time with new ones.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Well I'm glad he's getting the relaunch he's getting, I had no interest in aarons run.

 

[CConn]

Eh, I'm really excited for Waid on Hulk, but Gillen and Aaron on IM and Thor doesn't really do anything for me. Gillen is very good, but I don't think he's quite good enough to make me care about a character I've never cared about outside of RDJ. And I thought Aaron was infailable...until his Hulk run happened. Now I'll have to hear good reviews before I try a book with him about a character I'm not even a big fan of.

And Fraction on FF? Goddammit, I'm a VERY big FF fan, but there's no way I'm touching that book. Which makese me sad.

 

[HighFivingMF]

I'm glad that Fraction's off Iron Man and Thor. I couldn't stand it. But that said, I was impressed with the new Hawkeye book. Not that I thought it was great, but for Fraction, it's really good.

 

[Hypestyle]

I want a hulk with lots of big action against bigger monsters, for sure..

 

[Spade]

Aaron's Weapon X was my introduction to him, and he made a great first impression there. He managed to take Logan, a character I've grown tired of, and put a fresh spin on his stories that had me reading Wolverine comics for a while. I'm not sure what happened with Incredible Hulk; he seemed like the right person for it until the run revealed itself as one long fill-in. Waid's another inspired choice, though I can't imagine what a Hulk story by Waid would be like. And "Indestructible"? Great name for a Hulk book.

The rest of the announcements leave me cold. I like Iron Man and Thor, but lately they've had low mileage, and I'm not sure these new creative teams will solve that.

 

[Spider-Nerd]

I feel like the x-men are getting the shaft in this relaunch.

 

[runawayboulder]

Yeah, because they're getting Bendis.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, we're not happy about it
