All-New, All-Different Marvel **Spoilers**

As per the suggestion in the Marvel reboot thread a separate thread to discuss the new Marvel Reboot.



Because kinda new, kinda different Marvel doesn't have the same ring to it.

This was originally scheduled to launch following the completion of Secret Wars but seemingly endless delays mean that they are pushing ahead, with the initial issues being released this week and Secret Wars now due to end in January, so any discussion will most likely contain spoilers on the outcome of that storyline..

Apparently it'll include 60+ titles, with 55-60 being relaunched with number 1. A list of which are available here.

***********************

Dunno what the general consensus on this is but I was probably a bit dismissive of it in the other thread when I said none of the titles were interesting to me and I'd wait out until the end of Secret Wars. Although there were a few reasons for that; the promo artwork looks fairly sh*t, and put me off it straight away, and coupled with how drastic the changes are were it reminded me of the late 90's MC2 line. Also constant reboots are one of the main reasons that have prevented me from getting into DC comics as a regular reader, and the changes in this seem so drastic that another reboot is going to be inevitable to undo them when the original characters come back. Is it worth investing into this for a year or two, when it won't really count for much? Then there is the 'storyline driven' treatment of the Fox characters, which is where most of my interest would have been, but that's for another thread.

Anyway I picked up a couple of issues, and there are some things in there that I would be interested in based on what I have read, and what's listed on wikipedia. What I picked up was...

All New, All Different Marvel Point One: Pretty much a showcase featuring a few pages from several different titles (Contest of Champions, Carnage, Rocket Racoon and Groot, The Agents of SHIELD, All New Inhumans, and Daredevil.)

Daredevil was the stand out and hopefully they use the popularity of the tv show to give the character some focus. No real interest in the others, contest of champions seemed a bit like Avengers Arena from Marvel now, and the Inhumans story seems to be the beginning of their big push to prominence in time for the movie release.

Avengers #0: Similar thing here featuring New Avengers, A-Force, Uncanny Avengers, All New All Different Avengers, Ultimates, and Squadron Supreme.

Squadron Supreme is the main stand out title here. None of the line ups in the other titles look that interesting, especially Uncanny Avengers which was one of my favourite titles a few years back, and had a clear logical reason for existing, now it just looks like a random collection of characters. Adam Kubert is on art for All New All Different Avengers so will probably give that a look.

Invincible Iron #1: This has the main spoiler from Secret Wars from what I can gather.... Not much else actually happens bar some Pulp Fiction homage and the inevitable suit upgrade a new creative team brings (which looks like sh*t).

Doctor Strange: Haven't read much Doctor Strange before. But again this seems to have the upcoming movie in mind, and is a lot less stuffy than what I have read. Chris Bachalo on art is as good as always but he really needs a colourist.

The Amazing Spider-Man #1: Last issue of Spider-Man I read had Superior Spider-Man destroying hideout and outing the Hobgoblin. So to get from that to where he begins this issue is quite a leap. I dunno if that is part of the Superior storyline that I haven't read yet or if this is just the new status quo and will be filled in as the story progresses. It's not the Spider-man I am used to but I like it. Also a showcase of the other Spider titles in the second half of this issue which seems very Batman Incorporated.

This post actually turned out a lot longer than I intended.
