Marvel History will be "Destroyed!" March 2019

[Nosocialize]

There are now TWO posters with double "THE"s. Either extremely sloppy editing work, or something deeper? Could later posters be coming out replacing the logos with other logos?

Poster logo INCEPTION!

*crosses fingers* please make Sue Storm a professional of some sort. she doesn't need to be a scientist. but give her something more than aspiring actress/model.

and now would be a great time to make Hank Pym more than a wife-beater.

Look on the bright side, it makes them closer to DC "Detective Comics Comics" Comics.

It could well be Mephisto. I have nothing ''concrete'' so-to-speak that would rule him out at this point, especially since I've cut back on my comics in the last few years so I've probably missed something that Mephisto has done.

same here my friend!!! you are not alone with this.

[John Ossie]

There's got to be at least an X-Men one.

We'll find out sooner rather than later I guess.

Marvel usually has 4 or 5 of these when they string them along, I think.

Yeah, that's true. Guess we'll soon find out.

Because every single one of their cash-grab events over the past few years to now have been absolute masterpieces.
Optimism is admirable...but only up to a point.

I'm not being ''optimistic'' about this. In fact I don't really have any feelings outside of curiosity right now about this. I'm simply stating that it's way too early to be saying that it's been ''poorly written and poorly executed''. That's all I'm saying. No need for sarcasm.

same here my friend!!! you are not alone with this.

I know, still at least it gives me more room for speculating LOL.

[Michael Watkins]

who will Wanda and Pietro's parents be, I wonder...

lolol yes exactly.

Mephisto and...Hela LOL

Seriously though I don't know. And that's assuming it gets brought up.

[CaptCleghorn]

If all of these retcons are their way to honour Stan Lee's whole contributions, it is not the best way to do it with these things.

Even going back as far as Avengers 16, shaking things up was an earmark of the Marvel Universe. Just doing what had been done before was not what Lee or Kirby would have wanted.

[Nosocialize]

Maybe this has something to do with Best Defense?

[John Ossie]

LOL. I haven't seen that for years.

[John Ossie]

You seem to admit to "Pretty to look at" "Ultimately meaningless" and "Over-priced" though.

As far as ''pretty to look at'' that depends on who's doing the art. ''ultimately meaningless'', probably given the history. ''Over-priced'' again, probably given the history of events. I'm just waiting to see what actually happens (or at least a preview or an interview about it) before I jump to conclusions about the quality (or lack of) of the story that's all.

Is any DC character the same as they were pre-New 52, pre-Flashpoint or pre-Crisis? What are these character's histories at this point? How do they line up with stories that are just five or ten years old, never mind going back twenty, thirty or more? I suspect no one at DC could even begin to tell you.

In comparison, the MU is a whole lot more intact.

Not that I wan to get into a Marvel V DC thing, because I don't, but, at least the DC reboots are clear signposts for continuity. It's not perfect but it's easier to reconcile the different characterizations and changes to history.

I have no problem with that.

The problem I have is with Marvel and it's fans that continue to act like the Marvel Universe is this solid continuous single continuity which is just BS. I've been reading comics since the 70's. Marvel has had just as many if not more retcons to it's history, as DC has. It just doesn't put a fancy bow on it. None of these characters have the same history that they used to.

One of their huge selling points is just hypocritical mumbo jumbo.

If all they want to do is rewrite old stories, just reboot the damn thing and get it over with.

Not a huge fanboy wrath thing. Just kinda bugs me.

[Snoop Dogg]

DC reboots aren't stopping points for continuity because the old continuity always comes back. They don't really fully reboot because there's too much history to play with. So when it comes back, things get messier in universes that were rebooted to be simpler. This is not preferable to Marvel having a straight line and occasionally adding a squiggle, and neither is the X-Men just going in actual circles.
