Create your own MARVEL REBIRTH comic book line-up, since Marvel Comics won't!

[ijacksparrow]

While DC Comics right now is all about celebration and inclusion of both new and old concepts, while them are celebrating what they are, what they were and what they will and are literally hitting all cylinders, Marvel Comics is all about doom and gloom - Vincent Cassel flavored with Bendis-speak - and killing off characters again and again, segregation and divide. Do they really think that when they can't get neither neither new readers or people that read comics for a long time to get excited with their latest status quo shift that this is really the way to go?

Oh well, since all I can do is get more DC Rebirth comics and keep reading old stuff that I haven't checked out yet via the Marvel Unlimited app, I think that creating a thread about creating our own Marvel Rebirth even could be at least entertaining, and maybe give them some ideas to where they should be heading. Not that they would listen anyway, but at least is an interesting exercise at the beginning of a Friday evening. So here we go, what would you do if Kevin Feige of all people called you saying he picked you to 'rebirth' and reinvigorate the Marvel Comics universe? What current and alive creators, with no exclusive with the DC Comics (that we know of) would you get to write and draw the comics that you crave for? Since Marvel Comics seems completely lost with some brave exceptions, let's have some fun and just throw away some ideas out there, shall we?



Earth's Mightiest Avengers

Creators: Dan Slott with Stuart Immonen and Mike Hawthorne

Premise: The Earth's Mightiest Avengers. This is the flagship book, the one carrying Marvel Comics forward, with Dan Slott at helm and the art rotating between Stuart Immonen and Mike Hawthorne. They'll deal with the more cosmic and world ending threats, sanctioned operatives of SHIELD, riffing on the whole Captain America: Civil War divide.

Roster: Iron Man, Spider-Man, Sam Wilson Falcon, Captain Marvel, Silver Surfer, Thor Odinson, Miss America Chavez and She-Hulk


The Ultimates

Creators: Al Ewing and Kenneth Rocaforth

Premise: Riffing on Captain America: Civil War, this is the renegade team of superheroes that act without SHIELD's or any government's consent, including Wakanda. Lead by Black Panther and focusing mostly on Earth level threats. Think Al Ewing heaving inspired on Ed Brubaker's Cap and Hickman's New Avengers but dealing with Earth level threats. Black Panther leads the team, after Captain America comes for his aid, since Hydra has not just turned him into their undercover henchman, they are infiltrated within ONU and SHIELD as well.

Roster: Black Panther, Captain America (No Hydra Cap), Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch, Ant-Man, Blue Marvel (with a new name, cool character, awful name), Black Widow and Jane Thor


Uncanny Avengers

Creators: G. Willow Wilson, Jerome Opeña and Esad Ribic

Premise: The reformed Avengers Unity Team, reformed with the help of Iron Man after Captain America's departure. Lead by Rogue with the aid of Iron Jane, this team unites both mutants and inhumans, after the whole Terrigen mist shenanigans was sorted out.They try to make sense of a world that hates them and fears them, while at same trying to build bridges between both persecuted new races. Cool opportunity to tackle some real life important issues about prejudice here. To help boost sales, make the team search for Wolverine here, that somehow was made into a Hydra assassin again, working undercover and almost an urban myth.

Roster: Rogue, Iron Jane, Ms. Marvel, Sunspot, X-23, Reader and Flint.


Defenders

Creators: Brian Michael Bendis, Mike Deodato Jr. and David Aja

Premise: Think of the possibilities, a team of urban street level heroes dealling with the occult, ninjas and gangster mobs, with most of the Netflix based Marvel superheroes that just happen to be some of the best characters that Bendis can write with the addition of some of the old New Avengers heavy hitters.

Roster: Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones (with the bad ass leather jacket and based on Krysten Ritter likeness, no more boring pink tanks), Iron Fist, ELEKTRA!!!!, Hawkeye and Doctor Strange



Spider-Men

Creators: Christos Gage and Sara Pichelli

Premise: Since we have a hell lot of Spider-Man running around and Web Warriors was just a poor's man Exiles, I'd love to see someone taking that whole crazy Spider-Verse premise, mix with the whole premise that Reed Richards is still rebuilding the Marvel Universe and make Spider-Men a book about Spider characters that live in the 61 universe, dealing with extradimensional threats that can tear down the fabric of reality itself. Lead by Spidey that after Clone Conspiracy is back in New York with Parker-Jameson Industries, although he basically works there and old Jameson is now running the show.

Roster: Spider-Man, Arachnid (Miles Morales), Silk, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Woman and if they can make it work, Spider-Girl (Gwen)



Amazing Spider-Man

Creators: Dan Slott (encore, forever) and Stefano Caselli, Giuseppe Camuncoli and Humberto Ramos

Premise: Back in New York! But that Parker Luck strikes again and Parker Industries is now Parker-Jameson Industries, with the old uncle Jameson ruling the enterprise with an iron fist. Dan Slott just doing whatever Dan Slott does with Amazing Spider-Man and wowing at every month, I'd welcome the return of Stefano Caselli to help him at the art duties though, and I'd love to see a costume closer to the one Tom Holland is using right now because I just love several renditions of it in fan art that we can find around.



Arachnid

Creators: Marc Bernardin, Adam Freeman and Afua Richardson

Premise: All-new, all-different Miles Morales!! Since he entered Marvel main universe a lot of things were left unexplained, like how his origin now fits within 616, so here's to the start of Miles Morales legacy, the Arachnid! The team behind critical acclaimed Top Cow comic book bring us Arachnid: Year One, the start of the new chapter of Miles Morales story starts here!



All-New, All-Different Runaways

Creators: Brian Michael Bendis and Adrian Alphona

Premise: The all-new, all-different Runaways! The young and prodigious Marvel superheroes had enough of the Avengers and their shenanigans! They quitted the Avengers and now they are on their own to forge their own legacy and teach the old guys one thing or two about superheroism and real friendship. Ms. Marvel! Arachnid! Amadeus 'HULK' Cho! Nova! They are rebanding as the Runaways, but what the original Runaways think of that?! Whatever the infighting they might have, they need to get their stuff together fast, because the new Pride lead by Chase Stein is out to take away the young generation of Marvel superheroes out of the picture!

Roster: Arachnid, Bruiser, Ms. Marvel, Lucy in the Sky, Amadeus 'HULK' Cho, Sister Grimm and Nova



Captain Marvel

Creators: Dennis Hopeless and Javier Rodriguez

Premise: The team behind the critically acclaimed Spider-Woman run is back together to bring you the new chapter of Captain Marvel's life!



Sam Wilson: Falcon

Creators: Nick Spencer, Daniel Acuña and Paul Renaud

Premise: Captain America: no more! With the image of Captain America completely tarnished by the events of Hydra turning Steve Rogers into an undercover agent in the run, Sam decides that it's time to get real with the Serpent Society ascencion, and the kid gloves and shields are off. Estranged from his best friend that is missing after the events of Hydra Cap and having to balance dealing with the Serpent Society, his position as field leader of the Earth's Mightiest Avengers and his personal life with the return of Jet, Sam has his hands full. Basically Spencer, Acuña and Renaud next chapter in their epic run!



Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier

Creators: Nick Spencer, Jesus Saiz

Premise: For the first time in his life, Bucky is responsible for someone and after the events of Hydra Cap, he's the depowered Kobik last hope against all the governments that want to either kill her or try to experiment on her... but can Bucky save her from herself?


Steve Rogers: Captain America

Creators: Ed Brubaker, Steve Epting and Mike Perkins

Premise: The most critically acclaimed Captain America creators team is back! I can't dare to give them a premise.


And you, what kind of creator teams, premises and rosters would you like to see in Marvel Rebirth? We can all dream, since Marvel won't give it to us.

[Michael Watkins]

[macattack]

You know, I was debating making a thread like this, but you beat me to it. XD

I'm not so good with rostering, so instead I'll describe the situation that would cause the actual Rebirth (or, as I will call it, the "Restoration"), and some of the new status quos for the characters.

In the current Thunderbolts arc, Bucky has encountered a little girl version of the Cosmic Cube known as Kobik. That's the key, both of these characters could engage in a Rebirth-style situation right now if Marvel wants to. Bucky has the motivation after seeing his best friend become HYDRA (once he knows about it), and possibly plenty of other heroes in the process. Kobik has the power to set it all right. It'd just take one special-length issue to have Bucky convince Kobik to reset everything, which would likely include a serious bonding experience to justify Kobik changing things, especially as HYDRA convinced her to do things a certain way to begin with. But of course, HYDRA becomes aware of Kobik possibly being turned and sends Steve Rogers himself to claim her, and SHIELD enters the mix too, leaving Bucky and the Thunderbolts as rogues with the entire world, good and evil, out to get them.

Family would be a great way to convince Kobik to change things. Bucky's aware of the family he never got to have due to Rikki existing in 616 for a period before he was killed off. Kobik is interested about family. Maybe she's convinced because she wants to know what a family is, maybe she thinks Bucky could be her parent, something sweet like that. Just when Steve Rogers closes in to finish Bucky off, Kobik is finally convinced to change it all.

When Bucky gets up, Kobik is gone, but his friend, Steve Rogers, is still there, along with his great-granddaughter, Rebecca "Rikki" Barnes. Furthermore, Bucky realizes that back on base he has a daughter named "Karin" (guess who she really is). But that's not all that changed. Restoring the Barnes family did a lot of changes to the Marvel Universe, crafting a soft reset.

Here's the status quo situations for various characters, NOT THEIR PLOTLINES...

Fantastic Four: They're normal humans, they haven't done their fateful space flight yet. Johnny Storm is a hotshot fighter pilot. Sue and Reed are teamed up together science-ing the shit out of things. Ben Grimm is trying to become a technical engineer and take astronaut training. When the time is right, they will have their space flight and all of a sudden they will have powers again.

X-Men: A classic team has been forced led by Professor Xavier, facing off against Magneto in a battle cloaked in shadows and espionage. Mutants are not public knowledge yet, but they soon will be, when the time is right. Deadpool is still running around causing chaos galore.

Spider-Man: Peter is the only Spider-person left. Gwen Stacy lives with him, but they are not married. Mary Jane is still in the wings. He is a rookie biology teacher and he soon discovers his best student is none other than Miles Morales. J. Jonah Jameson dispatches a rising reporter, Humberto Rodriquez, to uncover the Spider-Man menace's true identity before the wall-crawler can do any more damage to the city. Doc Ock has returned to life. We're building to Miles getting his powers again in a brand-new origin story, and perhaps Gwen will get powers too and bring Spider-Gwen to life in a way that is less convoluted than alternate dimensions.

Hulk: Bruce Banner has traveled in Japan to hide with a scientist named Junko Watanabe who believes she is onto a path to cure him. Meanwhile, Glenn Talbot, disgraced after several failures to kill and capture the Hulk, has rehabilitated his life and has married a beautiful Japanese lady and has had a child with her. However, he soon discovers the Hulk is in Japan and finds himself confronting his old demons and failures while in pursuit of the Hulk yet again, struggling to keep his new life from crumbling. It does not help that his wife is none other than Junko Watanabe...

Blade: The Nightstalkers team has reformed. Blade leads a group of classic and new members to confront the supernatural evils that haunt the Marvel Universe. Dracula, HYDRA's Occult Division, and whatever else that makes things go bump in the night.

Iron Man: Tony Stark decides he is going to privatize world peace, and has taken leadership of the Avengers. He comes into conflict with the US-based special organization UNION as well as SHIELD while tackling threats all over the world. To help in his cause, he has re-established Avengers Academy, to educate and mentor the next wave of superheroes, and make the Avengers the premiere superhero organization in the world, supported by Stark Industries of course.

Captain America: He now leads the US' premiere security organization: United Nexus Infantry for an Optimal Nation (UNION). Bucky, Rhodey, Sam, Rikki, Bobbi, and the Cho siblings are among the members of his team. However, in trying to secure the United States, the limits of his organization are made clear in not only dealing with Tony Stark, but also SHIELD. Can Steve keep his country safe without plunging the world into chaos?

SHIELD: They have now become the United Nations' security/military arm, still fronted by Nick Fury but has become a truly international force. World peace is tougher to get than it seems, however...

She-Hulk: Jennifer Walters is married to Wyatt Wingfoot and has two young children with him. Together, they balance married life and kids with superheroics and day jobs. A fresh new look at superhero life, and Jennifer working out the best balance she can as both Jennifer Walters and She-Hulk.

Ms. Marvel: Basically, just let G. Willow Wilson do whatever she wants for 3-4 years without interference. XD

Captain Marvel: It's time to truly set up a defining story for Carol. We retell her origin story and then kick her stories into gear, giving her rogues to fight, a supporting cast for people to love and support, and send her all over the world and possibly beyond with her incredible abilities as the Superman figure of the Marvel Universe.

Novas: Richard Rider. Sam Alexander. Teamed up and traveling the galaxy as teacher and apprentice and we watch them kick copious amount of ass as Richard gives Sam the guidance he needs to become a hero.

I think that's enough for right now. But you get the idea. Set up a new status quo and run with it, setting up a decade or even more of Marvel stories. Ultimate-style death rules will be imposed: everyone who dies stays dead. This will make deaths much more meaningful and carefully chosen, because shock value is no longer good enough to justify a death. Kobik provided the final resurrection for everyone who was dead, that plain and simple. No more breaks, no more get out of death free cards. Also, lay off the line-wide crossovers for a few years until this new universe is ready to have them.

[Atlanta96]

Avengers: Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Thor Odinson, Natasha Romanoff, Jennifer Walters, Black Panther, and Peter Parker

Uncanny Avengers: Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Jessica Drew, Luke Cage, Logan, Storm, Beast, Clint Barton

New/Young Avengers: Kamala Khan, Miles Morales, Nova, Wiccan, Hulkling, Speed, America Chavez, Kate Bishop
Written by Becky Cloonan

Uncanny X-Men: Cyclops, Emma Frost, Beast, X-23, Colossus, Magik, Psylocke

2nd X-Men book: Storm, Rogue, Logan, Iceman, Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde, Gambit

My favorite Marvel writers at the moment are Mark Waid, Jason Aaron, Kieron Gillen, Matt Fraction, Greg Pak, and Gerry Duggan. I'd have all of them on at least 1 major book.

Bring Peter and MJ back together, make good X-Men books again, stop trying to replace and reinvent all the primary characters, no more painful poorly written political messages, have BMB only write solo books and no team books or events, and fire Nick Spencer. The usual complaints, pretty much.

BTW I really like most of the other posts in this thread, some great ideas.

[Dispenser Of Truth]

Sticking to the 'major' books:

Avengers
Al Ewing and Stuart Immonen
With the sole caveats that Captain America (Sam Wilson), Iron Man and Spider-Man are involved, let Ewing do as he pleases with the main book of the line.

Spider-Man
Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder
I've wanted these two on Spidey for awhile, and I wanna like Miles - like the concept, like the supporting cast, but he's never clicked for me - so here. Peter's out of commission for some reason (though still in the supporting cast), to be brought back later or killed off at Marvel's leisure.

X-Men
Simon Spurrier and David Marquez
I've heard nothing but praise for Spurrier's time on X-Men Legacy, with many saying it points the way forward for the franchise the way Morrison's New X-Men did, once upon a time. So just throw him at the main title with a major artist.

Fantastic Four
Jason Aaron and Chris Samnee
Easy picks.

Guardians of the Galaxy
David Walker and Ramon Villalobos
Power Man and Iron Fist is capturing a lot of what I think was intended as the flavor of the Guardians movie, except, like, good. Pair him with one of the best artists out there and his Nighthawk partner, and I might just start caring about this team.

Captain America
Ta-Nehisi Coates and Sara Pichelli
Coates is proving capable of telling very fine adventure stories in Black Panther, and it's safe to say he'd have a hell of a lot more to say about America in here than "it can suck sometimes, but all in all is pretty sweet". And Pichelli is great and not attached to anything right now.

Iron Man
Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epting
Mostly fine with him having moved on from Marvel - if he does any Big Two work again, I'd much prefer to see what he would do at DC - but I'd still like to see what Hickman would do with Epting on Iron Man.

Thor
Holly Black and Russell Dauterman
Black is doing good work on Lucifer, I think she'd transition well to Thor, with Dauterman smoothing the transition from Aaron's long-going run.

Black Widow
Mark Waid and Lee Garbett
Keep Waid on, that's going fine, with Garbett I think being more than able to make up for the loss of the other half of the Waid/Samnee team.

Black Panther
David Walker and Declan Shalvey
Shalvey's perfect for this, and if GOTG takes the place of Power Man & Iron First for Walker, this could be a more than satisfactory followup to Nighthawk.

Captain Marvel
Warren Ellis and Tula Lotay
Ellis has worked on the character before, so he has at least some sense of how her character works. I just want him to do his "6 issues to revitalize the character" shtick with her, with Lotay fitting perfectly for all the trippy cosmic adventures he'd presumably take her on.

Ms. Marvel
G. Willow Wilson and Takeshi Miyagawa
It's worked out fine so far.

Doctor Strange
Rob Williams and Marco Rudy
Rudy was born to draw Strange, and Williams has shown that "strange" is comfortable territory for him.

Hulk
Brian Bendis and Leinil Yu
A down-to-Earth, darker take on the character; this would be Bendis' sole book in the line, in a last-ditch effort to squeeze some quality out of him.

Deadpool
Christopher Hastings
Don't know if he could hold down drawing as well as writing a monthly book - I don't know how rapidly Dr. McNinja came out back in the day, but I'm pretty sure it isn't at a rate of 20 pages per month now - but I'm willing to find out.

New Avengers
Some whippersnappers I've never heard of.
Get some promising indie talent, give them the Young Avengers - keeping the recent rechristening of the concept as the New Avengers - and let them go to town.

[cheesebiggins]

This is a really fun thread idea, thanks!

I think that Marvel should take note of what DC has done; they've gone back to the core of their characters and mixed that well with a few slightly different, more niche titles, which Is exactly what I think Marvel should do.

Black Panther
Keep the current creative team. They're doing great things with BP right now.

Spider-Man
Have Peter Parker be the Spider-Man we all love, send him back to New York and make him the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man again.

Captain America
No Hydra, bring back the old shield. Falcon and Sharon Carter should be major supporting characters.

Iron Man
Has to be Tony Stark, not Dr Doom. Stop making Tony quite such a jackass.

Fantastic Four
Stop playing around now Marvel. Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben. Franklin and Valeria are supporting characters. Honestly, I wouldn't even mind if it was the F4 in their current status-quo because there's storyline potential there. I would love it if they could get Hickman to write this.

Doctor Strange
Make this book a bit darker. The current run is really badly characterised in my opinion. Dr Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme, not some hipster magician.

Captain Marvel
I'm not too sure which direction this book should be taken in because I really am not interested in her. I'm mainly including her on this list as she's Marvel's biggest female character right now.

Black Widow
Keep the current creative team. They're doing a really good job.

Ms Marvel
Same as above. One of Marvel's consistently brilliant series.

Thor
Odinson. Jane just isn't cutting it as Thor for me. Make Loki a prominent character too.

Daredevil
Again, keep the current creative team.

Jessica Jones
Make it like the Netflix series then Marvel will have a sure-fire hit on their hands.

The Avengers
Captain America, Iron Man, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Thor (Odinson). A very classic team. This would be the flagship Avengers title.

New Avengers
Ms Marvel, Miles Morales, Wasp (Nadia Pym), Nova, Kate Bishop, Amadeus Cho Hulk, Riri.

Supernatural Avengers/ Midnight Sons
Doctor Strange, Hellstorm, Shaman, Elsa Bloodstone, Cullen Bloodstone, Agatha Harkness.

Deadpool
I think the creative team on the current Spidey/Deadpool series is fantastic, so lets just use them.

X-Men
Led by Charles Xavier. Other members are Iceman, Storm, Beast, Magik, Colossus, Kitty Pryde. Their first arc would see them face off against the Hellfire Club.

Inhumans
They really should go for this Game of Thrones style we were initially promised. Cast would be: Black Bolt, Medusa, Crystal, Karnak, Triton, Maximus, Reader, Gorgon, Naja, Panacea, Iso and have sporadic appearances from the rest of the NuHumans.

Guardians of the Galaxy
Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, Groot, Mantis. Keep Bendis far, far away from them. There's a huge threat coming and the Guardians know they cannot stop it. They need help. They are searching for Adam Warlock. (Once they eventually find Warlock, he will spin off into his own series).

These would be Marvel's main titles, and below would be their more niche titles but imo would still be great and sell well.

Uncanny X-Men
This is a team that is willing to be more morally ambiguous than Xavier's team. Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Cable, Rogue, Angel. Magneto would have a supporting role.

Secret Avengers
Nick Fury Jr, Winter Soldier, Mockingbird, Hulk (Bruce Banner), Spider-Woman, Noh-Varr. A very mismatched team need to work together to save the world against threats the main Avengers aren't aware of.

Defenders
Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Elektra, Jessica Jones, Misty Knight, Shang-Chi. Fighting against street-level bad guys in New York.

Iceman
Needs more character development, especially after coming out.

Mystique
A massively underrated character imo. She could definitely have a very fun book. Give it quite a spy/espionage feel.

Namor
King of the sea. He should have a big role in the MU. I would like him to be an anti-hero who doesn't like humans and protects his kingdom at all costs.

Ms America Chavez
Serious storyline potential. Also and LGBT Latino woman, so she would be great for representation. I'd love to see her character and relationships really fleshed out.

Ghost Rider
Robbie Reyes would be the main character, as I think he's one of the best things Marvel has done in recent years. Johnny Blaze would act as a mentor.

Blade
Just give us the series we were promised over a year ago.

Captain Britain
Even a 6-issue limited series would satisfy me at this point. Other parts of the world need heroes too Marvel!

[Orbus]

Amazing Spider-Man
We turn Amazing Spider-Man into what fans really want; a reprint book of the Spider-Man newspaper strip. With a regular back in feature starring Spider-Girl.

X-Men
After being proclaimed the "greatest hero that ever lived" 616 Cyclops transforms his team mates into their true selves X-Men '92 and become Marvel's premier super team.

Daredevil
Matt Murdock gives up his law practice and becomes a literal swashbuckler. Look out for Daredevil; The Greatest Pirate on the Seven Seas.

Hulk
After being framed for a crime he didn't commit Hulk leaves Earth to form a new Sakaar. As ruler he faces problems he can't smash his way out of.

Fantastic Four
Reed and Sue back in the Marvel Universe but the are definitely not super heroes. As the family reunites they take a day trip to the Negative Zone but that pesky Blastaar is after their pic-a-nic basket.

Avengers
Captains America, Iron Man, Thor, Giant Man, Wasp, Hawkeye together again for the first time and to make it official Loki makes a nostalgia spell that no one but them can be Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Captain America
The one and only Steve Rogers is back and he's ready to fight the Green Skull and prove that the A on his helmet doesn't stand for France.

Iron Man
As punishment for his role in the original Civil War Tony Stark's assets have been stripped save for one set of armor which he can only use for missions sanctioned by Steve Rogers. He is Iron Man.

Thor
What will the newly worthy Odinson do when Donald Blake, Eric Masterson and that paramedic from the 90s show up. How will Thor deal with the case of the countless civilian identities?

Falcon
Sam Wilson is back as the Falcon because you demanded it. Cancelled after 10 issues.

Ms Marvel
After the X-Men decide that Kamala Khan is "one of the good ones" they allow her to live but for her own good have Doctor Strange erect an invisible force field she can't cross to keep her in New Jersey.

New Warriors
Richard Rider returns and after beating Sam Alexander to death with his own helmet teams up with Speedball to finance a new New Warrors team by making and publishing a comic book line. Also what is Project: Cannon Fodder.

Marvel Universe: Rebirth
In the aftermath of X-Men vs Inhumans which had the Inhumans decimated Reed and Sue Richards return to warn their friends there is an ominous force watching and manipulating all their lives. Comic book fans.

[Atlanta96]

Captain Marvel
I'm not too sure which direction this book should be taken in because I really am not interested in her. I'm mainly including her on this list as she's Marvel's biggest female character right now.

She's really not. Several female characters with solos are outselling Carol at the moment. Including Spider Woman and Silk. She may be the lead in Civil War and is one of 2 female superheroes with a movie coming out, but in terms of popularity with fans I don't think she's quite at the top. Writers and editors seem to value her a bit more than readers do. I mean, 23,000 copies last month, and she's getting her own movie?

She may be the lead in Civil War and is one of 2 female superheroes with a movie coming out, but in terms of popularity with fans I don't think she's quite at the top. Writers and editors seem to value her a bit more than readers do. I mean, 23,000 copies last month, and she's getting her own movie?

Yeah, this is what I meant. She doesn't seem to be a particularly interesting character yet Marvel seem to value her as their Wonder Woman equivalent imo.
