Do you think Marvel can keep this up? I mean, it makes sense from a business stand point, for the time being, but do you think it can hold up creatively? So far, Marvel NOW just seems like a way for Marvel to double down on their most popular properties and those planned to be used in movies, and everything else is being ignored. This really limits the possibilities for new and interesting stories to be told with lesser known properties.
Take for instance the original DnA stuff. That was a really cool initiative that used almost exclusively lesser known properties that resulted in some great stories being told. Now, there is almost no room for something like that.
Say what you will about DC, but they are still doing new and interesting things with their comics line, while Marvel seems to have entrenched itself in what works/sales already. And it has me a little worried for the future.
