This is very stupid.
Marvel is relaunching their relaunches now
>>83183148
There was none, it was just a teaser.
They'll have a preview book for it eventually like last year.
>>83183189
>Top-tier creators
Like who? Bendis and Slott are the highest tier Marvel has.
I'm trying not to bring company wars into this...but jesus christ.
Like, OK, I'd get trying to outdo DC's Rebirth. That makes sense for Marvel. I understand trying to do something big and unique to make Rebirth seem lame/silly/etc.
But another relaunch? Barely even a year into ANAD? I didn't think the "TV seasons" thing would really play into this, but sure, fine, let's go with that.
Yet, there's the naming. Naming this "new season" after something old (and recently old) is just...not smart.
If Marvel began losing the faith of retailers with ANAD, then they're *genuinely* not making things better with this. The only implication right now is that people should expect the exact sort of gimmicks (new #1s, presumably with shittons of incentivized variants) and other nonsense that made stores not like them in the first place.
No idea what Marvel's end goal is.
>>83183723
>No idea what Marvel's end goal is.
Shekelium
>>83183148
I thought this happened 4 years ago.
>>83183723
>No idea what Marvel's end goal is.
#1 money.
>Relaunch it
>get #1 money
>ride the sales down 5-6 issues
>hit the book with a crossover or event for 2-5 issues
>let it go for a few more issues
>then cancel it and relaunch it
Basically their plans for the majority of their books now.
Only big sellers and shitty sellers go without crossover tie ins and event shit since they either command the crossover or aren't apart of a family of books. And it seems like big double shipping books like Deadpool can go past 30 issues now.
Like no wonder marvel's trades still do shit when there are five vol 1s.
New 52 vol 1s and 2s kept selling great like 3/4 years into new 52 cause there wasn't anything else readily available until recently when they started reprinting more and more older stuff.
I'm honestly not even that bothered by it. Even if they cancel all their current titles to put out new ones, the only book I'll actually be upset about losing is Carnage.
If I'm really lucky, Agent Venom will get a new book where he comes back to Earth since Spaceknight's not selling that well.
>>83183723
I dont know why people are surprised when Marvel says they do this yearly.
Marvel comics have phases now, like the mcu or magic the gathering.
The names could use work though
>>83183876
No, see, that was Marvel NOW. This is Marvel NOW!
Totally different.
>>83184007
>>then cancel it and relaunch it
Star-Lord will be the first.
Hail Hydra.
Marvel needs a reboot.
I haven't read a decent new comic by marvel for years.
>>83183148
You're looking at Marvel Now!. Everything that was Marvel is Marvel Now! now.
>>83184707
Not now. Right now we're in All-new All-different Marvel, it won't be NOW! until Fall.
>>83184694
Have you tried Vision, Moon Knight, or Ultimates?
>>83184763
So...Soon?
>>83183391
Alan Moore, Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby's Ghost and Rob Liefeld.
>>83183148
Are they just reusing the same relaunch title from 2011?
Jesus Christus, Do they think their fanbase has short term memory and completely forgot about it? This will cause even more confusing than the New 3DS
>>83184811
Yes, soon it will be now but for now it's still all-new.
They really should have used this as an opportunity to bring back the All-new All-Fresh tagline from the 90s.
>>83184874
It's interesting because we had NOW!...then we went to All New All Different... but going back to NOW!?
>>83184576
I'm pretty sure it was Marvel NOW! before too
>>83184850
No, of course not. Marvel's marketing department, even at its most idiotic, wouldn't re-use a relaunch name only 4 years later.
The 2011 relaunch was Marvel NOW. This is Marvel NOW! See, the exclamation point makes it even more NOW than NOW.
>>83184913
No that was Marvel then, this is Marvel NOW!
>tfw all I care about is what they do with Kamala
>>83184935
>>83184959
should called it That's What I Call Marvel NOW!
>>83184935
>>83184959
No, sir, it was Marvel NOW! even then
>>83184908
You're missing a few. It went:
>Marvel NOW!
>All-new Marvel NOW!
>Avengers NOW!
>All-new All-different Marvel
>Marvel NOW!
>>83185017
Oh, well don't I feel foolish.
Oh wait, I see where the difference is. See, the original Marvel NOW! had the NOW! in white on red. The new Marvel NOW! has the NOW! in red on white.
See? Totally different.
>>83184842
Too bad they're all stuck writing/drawing crossdressing, trans-pansexuals.
>>83185083
bravo marvel
>>83184707
When will then be NOW?
>>83183189
Ehhhh... it doesn't sound like ANAD where they're gonna relaunch everything.
I imagine they'll cancel most of the lower selling half and a few of the higher selling half, like the previous relaunches. Then after the next event they cancel the books they didn't cancel aftet CW2.
Because they've cancelled at least 15 ANAD titles so far and I imagine that they want to keep having ~70+ books at a time.

>>83183173
all black marvel
>we marvel now
They should start calling their reprints Marvel THEN!
>>83185436
but that's when Marvel was good. . .
>>83185290
Yeah, this is clearly more of an All-new Marvel now than a Marvel NOW! 1.0 or All-new All-different Marvel.
>>83184973
The writer made me like miles keep her and it's fine.
>>83185754
I sure hope they learned their lesson with ANAD
Not well enough because they're still gonna relaunch books, but at least it might not be everything.
>>83185844
They're just going to cancel the low selling books, and either relaunch them or replace them with different books, while keeping the high selling books with their current numbering.
>>83185273
LATER!
>>83185049
ALL MARVEL ALL NOW!
>>83183189
>Top-tier creators

You forgot
Ultimate Marvel NOW!

I miss any?
>>83186233
Ultimate Marvel Double Edge All-New All Different Now! MAX Knights 2099
>>83184973
She's like 1/3 of the reason we had Marvel NOW to begin with.
>>83183148
Marvel AGAIN!
>>83185421
>WE WUZ MARVEL AND SHIT
Marvel NOWEST!
Hopefully we'll get less Bendis books.
>>83184597
Sadly Abnett finally gave up on Cosmic and went DC exclusive. Who can save Quill now?
>>83186777
If Bendis is still on GOTG and is the main writer of cosmic then nobody can save him
Which month does fall start for Americans ?
September or October ?
>>83186777
>>83186842
Does that mean no more Hercules ?
>>83186927
Hercules was already ending bro.
>>83186777
>Wanting Abnett without Lanning
Sorry DC friends, you're not getting what you are hoping.
>>83186927
He's writing the Gods of War CW2 mini but that's probably the last of Herc from him. Marvel might relaunch it later though.
>>83186927
Fall starts September 21st.
>>83183148
I thought they'd already done Marvel Now. Did we circle round in time?
The EA/Ubisoft of comic books.
>>83187001
He managed to make Earth 2 bearable and his Aquaman issues were good so that's good enough for me
>>83187033
They're relaunching Marvel NOW! Now it's even more NOW! than NOW!
>>83187092
I'm too drunk for this.
>>83185017
comic-kino
>>83184225
That's some fucking Dr. Seuss shit right there. Venom coming back planetside would be nice, especially if Bunn gets to restart the ongoing.
>>83183148
I guess they decided to drop All New All Different?
I'm all up for that.
Fuck ANAD.
>>83187307
Venom is coming to earth but it might be to late for the comic when that happens, also Bunn is now putting all his energy on the x-tittles, that why the only good x-men comics right now is Uncanny
>>83183189
>>Blockbuster new titles. Shocking new status quos. Top-tier creators. This is Marvel NOW!.
Well Marvel ain't any of that now. It might be in the future though. Outright lying does nothing for me though, jews.
Though real talk.
They should do away with numbering.
Just have it as part 1, part 2, etc. The same way they sort of did the ... I can't remember what it was called. Whatever version of Marvel NOW occurred like 3 volumes into original Marvel NOW.
>>83183148
No one posted Marvel's self hating pic.
>>83187425
I think Benis got bored of Venom and his Guardians team is getting too crowded. I say there's a big chance of Venom actually staying on Earth after Civil War II.
>>83187647
>That Thor one
get's me everytime
>>83183148
Garbo is coming.
>>83183189
>Top-tier creators.
Aren't they all at DC now? Just saw that Abnett is now DC exclusive, too.
Who is even left outside of Ewing?
>>83183189
>There has never been a better time to be a Marvel reader.
>>83183189
> A new line of books one year after the ANAD Marvel
AHAHAH this is worse than DCYou
>>83184842
I thought Ghost Kirby was working for DC.
>>83188414
I'm pretty sure Morrison has him chained in the basement.
>>83188319
They're been doing annual relaunches since 2012. They've said they plan on doing annual relaunches since then. I don't understand why people are remotely surprised by this when turning comics into a "seasonal" model has been their entire mission statement for YEARS now.
The only thing that's "surprising" or particularly shitty about this is the fact that they couldn't even come up with a new name and had to rely on re-using an old one, which is just a next level of lazy/retarded.
>Marvel NOW was in 2012
Good God.
>>83190504
5 years of liquid shit
>>83187647
The irony.
So what can we expect for BRAND NEW changes and things that will NEVER BE THE SAME?
>Thor gains Ultimate Mjolnir and becomes the focus of Thor again, while Jane becomes secondary a la Falcon for Captain America
>Dr. Strange is rebooted to become more like the Beneduct Cumbersnitch version for movie synergy
>Similarly, Slott is forced to bring Peter back to the status quo because of his appearance in Civil War. Slott refuses, and Bendis gets Spider-Man again
>Spider-Woman is cancelled due to low sales. Silk takes up the name, and Jessica Drew and her son become nobodies
>Another Inhumans book
>One less X-Men book
>A new Jessica Jones book to profit off of the show
>Squirrel Girl and Hellcat stay alive because they're basically print webcomics, and their creators can work for peanuts
>A new book for That Guy from the movie. You know the one.
>Another book for Single Twenty-Something Quirky Tumblr Female
>>83191988
Gamora, Blade, and Kate Hawkeye will probably get their books that marvel promised a while back.
>>83183723
>No idea what Marvel's end goal is.
making money off of casuals and emotially abused housewives that they have for long time fans
And they will continue to be successful at it because MCU is a thing and their army of well paid marketing army allows them to create the perception that their stories are somehow worth reading; especially those of the competion
>>83183189
Its almost like DC and marvel have a deal Set up
>"Alright our movies will be shit if you makes sure your comics are crap"
>"DEAL!"
>>83191988
It was already confirmed that Star-lord is going to get a new ongoing post-CWII. The Gamora and Blade ongoings will likely be coming out as part of it too.
The Dr. Strange ongoing is selling high enough that I doubt they'll relaunch it.
>>83191988
>Jessica Jones book by Bendis
>Gamora, Blade, Star-lord, Kate get their books
>Spider woman gets cancelled and relaunched
>another Inhuman gets a "solo", probably by Ellis
>new depressing X-Men status quo brought on by Death of X
>>83183189
What does any of these even mean?
All I see is PR marketing buzzwords
>>83188254
Wilson, Duggan, Coates, Spencer, Bunn (while on X-Men)
also Gillen said he has a new Project with Marvel after Vader ends
>>83191988
At least a dozen of the lower selling titles get cancelled and relaunched. Moon girl, Hellcat, Spider woman, Star-lord, Nova, and Drax being possibilities.
A dozen more get cancelled and replaced.
Maybe a handful of higher selling ones get cancelled to be replaced with different creative teams.Bendis please get off GOTG
Marvel tries to relaunch Vision with a new writer but it's not well received at all and it gets cancelled after 5 or 6 issues.
>>83183723
Marvel said they would operate in a seasons format when all new was launched last October, so next October we get the new season, Marvel Now, nothing about a company war here, but they revealed it a day after to take hype from Rebirth for sure.
>>83193109
Hickman will probably be back, Al Ewing and James Robinson(SS and Ewing books are most of my favorites from Marvel).
>>83193089
Marvel is doing their annual relaunch this Fall, same as they've done every Fall since 2012, and will be releasing a free magazine on the 13th that will showcase all/most of the new books coming this fall.
Also the name for the new relaunch is Marvel NOW!, same as the name from the 2012 relaunch for whatever dumb reason.
>>83193331
>Hickman will probably be back
Please let that Hickman/Weaver Eternals ongoing that I keep seeing some anon bring up on /co/ be true.
>>83192203
more like
DC
>we make crappy movies and fuck up our comics from time to time
Marvel
>Our movies will be a lottery and our comics will be just rehash lazy casual grabs
both
>deal, we will retain our loyal fans because the other dont do it better.
They agreed that both do their lowest to get much revenue out of it.
Its like deciding between licorice or vegemite
>>83191988
Clint quits being Hawkeye or something bad happened to him so Kate becomes the only Hawkeye and she gets that solo.
>>83193367
Hickman said he wanted to write the Eternals, we know he is most likely coming back soon, so let's hope so, I like his writing and I like the Eternals.
>>83193334

>AXEL ALONSO: For starters, we’re in the midst of a massive universe transforming event in Secret Wars. This is an event we’ve been building to for some time, and it’s clearing the canvas and putting new and familiar stuff on the canvas in its aftermath. And so it’s transformed the Marvel Universe we’re looking at, which is the perfect opportunity to start a new chapter. And that said, most importantly, I think that the comics industry—certainly, we are—slowly working into a season model that’s not too unlike what we see in our favorite cable TV shows: a seasonal model that offers accessible entry points for new readers and is respectful of long-term fans. We did Marvel NOW! and All-New Marvel NOW!, which were both two very successful campaigns. And this is the latest campaign. The goal is to invite a new audience while maintaining and honoring the fans who are already reading. So this fall, this All-New All-Different Marvel is going to unveil somewhere around 60 titles, all new #1s. And nothing says “jumping point” like the #1. And all of them, I think, all are going to offer diverse, exciting and accessible entry points into our world. And there’ll be a lot of different flavors.
"seasonal model"
Wasn't this a thing already years ago after AvX?
