Marvel is ready to relaunch as Marvel NOW with the release of Uncanny Avengers # 1 in October. However, more changes are on the horizon as these titles will come to an end that very same month:
-Captain America #19
-Fantastic Four #611
-FF #23
-Incredible Hulk #15
-Invincible Iron Man #527
-New Mutants #50
-The Mighty Thor #22
-Uncanny X-Men #20
-X-Men Legacy #275
Avengers #31 and #32 are solicited as the beginning of Brian Michael Bendis’ “final explosive arc” on the series. The same is said for both New Avengers #31 and #32. Also, Avengers Assemble #8 is the last for Bendis and artist Mark Bagley and Journey Into Mystery #645 is sadly Kieron Gillen’s last issue as he “bids farewell” to the book.
More than likely, the above titles will be relaunched at # 1 between November and February, but money minded comic fans may want to take heed as the cancelled nine titles are double shipping in October.
I tried to read through this and was unsuccessful. It made my head hurt and I didn’t understand any of it.
Let me get this straight, there are THREE Avengers books on the shelf? They have The Avengers, The NEW Avengers and now the Uncanny Avengers?!? And they are dropping a bunch of titles because for some reason they need more people to buy ALL THREE AVENGERS BOOKS! And two of them are only on issue 23?! They got to two whole years of making up even more situations that the Avengers could get into EVERY SINGLE MONTH!
Sorry for all the caps. No not my punctuation, I’m sorry for all the Captain Americas in all of the Avenger books that Marvel is trying to hawk at you. It didn’t work and now they have to make a big announcement and cancel a bunch of titles and start them all over at number one to fool comic speculators into collecting big premier issues.
It’s a shrewd move Marvel. Or should I say MARVEL NOW, as in MARVEL NOW SUCKS. But I have to commend you. Whereas DC would just reboot the entire continuity and force you to start all over at number one, Marvel just keeps making up stupid reasons to start over, like what looks like The X-Men and The Avengers joining up and becoming one team??? Why in the world would they ever do that? But at least it’s all in the same universe.
