Is your list just a collection of facts, or a list that shows what you personally like?

BND on the verge of being reversed? Where did you read that?

Tony Stark is back - yay!
Captain America is not a nazi - he was better this way it was a more accurate representation of america.
Peter Parker is not Stark lite - I would actually prefer peter expand more into his mature qualities of corporate leadership and genius innovation at Parker industries.
X-men finally being treated with respect - I don't know about this
Fantastic four on the verge of a return - Awesome
Disney buying fox has saved mutants - Hopefully Disney continues to evolve

I find it odd that you use a Fantastic Four emblem for an avatar but seem to have a grudge against the Inhumans. I don't blame the characters for corporate decisions. Rather silly don't you think?

Eh. Those FF stories are what give me a grudge against Inhumans, mostly.

And he doesn't seem to be blaming the characters. He's blaming the people controlling the characters.

Avengers 1 looks amazing!!!

It's happening!!!!

And here I was still celebrating them being over.

God, how positively boring.

The 90's were time of mostly bad taste and comic industry self destruction though.

[Crimz]

The 90s were pretty dull for the Fantastic Four... I also doubt that they will be back this year the way things are going.

The X-Men don't seem to be any better besides Jean's return.

I'd be pretty surprised if they weren't back this year. Marvel Two-In-One is such a set up for them coming back, I don't think Marvel will put that pay off on hold for too long.

[CentralPower]

Ah, blind nostalgia.


I am not dreading this. But, I would be lying if I said that I was an interested in Marvel as I was 2 or 3 years ago. (My interest was unusually high at that point.) On the other hand, I am more interested in what is coming up than I have been in the last year.

Given the cyclical nature of comics, that's bound to happen for every fan eventually - including those fans who have found the previous 18 years to be great.

Marvel is making a hard push to make things the way they were ~1990.

No comic fan who lived through the '90s as an adult would ever celebrate its return in any way. What a dire time, with the occasional glimmer of quality.

BND on the verge of being reversed? Where did you read that?

I have heard the rumor. Not sure about how true it is.

Yup.

The trick was to follow creative teams and stick with secondary titles. When Marvel went sour in the early 90s, I jumped to DC. And, of course, I jumped between titles. (I still do this, and it works pretty well.) But, people who were dogmatic about specific titles or characters had a much worse time.

[Crimz]

I'd be pretty surprised if they weren't back this year. Marvel Two-In-One is such a set up for them coming back, I don't think Marvel will put that pay off on hold for too long.

To me it feels like the climax of the story will be that Ben and will get a hint of where Reed and Sue are, but they won't be back until 2019. It really feels like 2-in-One is to pacify fans rather than bringing back the team at the end of it, but don't get me wrong the book is really good. This year is bringing back lots of characters and I think the team coming back around this time will take away from their return.

[Crimz]

I'd be pretty surprised if they weren't back this year. Marvel Two-In-One is such a set up for them coming back, I don't think Marvel will put that pay off on hold for too long.

An interview with Chip Zdarsky where he said he's got up to 12 issues planned and wraps up the search by #10 (which doesn't mean that they find them). I highly doubt that they are back this year.

Claremont was really good on FF. I think it started weird(DeFalco) and then Heroes Reborn was kinda chaotic with a lot of miss communication but after this most of Marvel's stuff were solid. I recently watched DC's JL cartoons which are older and got a lot of inspiration from old Kirby stuff in compare to this the Avengers shows were just some bricks clued together in the last years.

What I mean with this the old stuff is often just better and not because of nostalgic but because the authors and editors planned so much ahead . They knew what their endgame will be(at least roughly) when they start a book and how it will effect the universe in the books , you can see how the concepts and ideas fit in like jigsaw pieces. Especially when I think on star authors like Bendis or Hickman they don't have this at all they have their own idea first and didn't care if its fits or not with out really knowing how to round up all this and then the next author have to wing it and clue some stuff on it.

Means you need good authors and editor who can make their job and higher ups who ask when heroes got left behind when an arc is over "what we do with them? how they will come back?", also the past wasn't so bad and my 3th question would be were are Cyclops and Xavier ?
