Quote:
When DC relaunched their comics, they did it all in one month. Marvel are going to stretch it out for a full five months.

The new Entertainment Weekly, as well as confirming Bleeding Cool’s report that the relaunch would be called Marvel NOW!, provides details of how the relaunch is going to work. Specifically that one book will be launched or relaunched every week from October through to February 2013, totalling twenty-two titles, beginning with the previously reported Uncanny Avengers and including Avengers, All New X-Men and a number of titles, presumably, our Marvel NOW! Rumour Checklist.

We’ve seen how characters look to be completely redesigned, teams changed and titles amended. However it is worth reminding readers that, unlike DC’s reboot, the continuity will not be rebooted…

Three titles/teams announced - maybe spoilers ahead, I dunno:

Spoiler: show
Quote:
Uncanny Avengers #1 (October)
by Rick Remender & John Cassaday

From the "ashes" of "Avengers VS X-Men" the two teams come together for the first time to fight a new deadly foe -- the Red Skull, who wants to "x-out" the mutant race! Expect Captain America and Wolverine to be members, as well as a few "wild card" surprises!

All New X-Men #1 (November)
by Brian Michael Bendis & Stuart Immonen

Everything old is new again...after the original five X-Men suddenly reappear in the present! How do they get to the current time-period? What do they think about the events of Avengers VS X-Men? All I know is -- this definitely means the return of Jean Grey!

Avengers #1 (December)
by Jonathan Hickman & Jerome Opena

Details are sketchy so far on this relaunch, other than that the team lineup promises to be waaay different, and their focus will be more on threats to the universe, rather than just Earth. Can we expect some Thanos action here?

If it's the same old creative teams as before, I'll just skip it. I heard a rumor that Frank Cho will be doing Wolverine, so that would be on my list.

I really like his stuff but not enough to buy a book just for it. I may check it out in trade format.

Do I see two Nick Fury's up there?

Sleeves are Marvel's answer to DC's Nehru Collars.

All Marvel superheroes will now have French Cuffs.

Yeah, but apparently it's a different Nick Fury, according to Wikipedia — his son, who takes the name Nick Fury after his father retires.

:?

I'm glad young Fury didn't lose the same eye as his dad. That would have been too coincidental.

Fuck coincidental.

In a drunken rage, Nick Fury Sr. gauges out his son's eye... screaming, "NOW you're a FURY!"

Yeah. That is Cable. Regardless of which eye he lost it is a huge coincidence that the young Fury would lose a lie.

I suspect that the Furys are constantly bumping into each other.
