>On July 13, readers will get a first look at the line in the "Marvel NOW! Previews Magazine." Much like last year's "Marvel Previews" supplement that revealed the post-"Secret Wars" "All-New, All-Different Marvel" lineup, it'll reveal new creative teams and new series for Marvel's lineup going forward after a major event (though "Civil War II" will be relatively early in its run by mid-July).
>"Marvel NOW! is about the future of the Marvel Universe," Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso said in a statement. "We're excited to provide fans with a snapshot of things to come right before San Diego Comic-Con. Fans can look forward to hearing about brand new titles, returning favorites and even some shocking status quo shifts that are sure to keep fans guessing all the way through 'Civil War II.'"
>Though it's not yet clear how extensive the changes brought by the new "Marvel NOW!" will be, Marvel has established something of a pattern with line-wide refreshes in the fall, including the original "Marvel NOW!," "All-New Marvel NOW!" and last year's "All-New, All-Different Marvel." This publishing cycle resembles a shift towards something of a "seasonal model" for comics, which Alonso has been a proponent of in the past.
>The "Marvel NOW! Previews Magazine" will be available on July 13. "Civil War II" #1, by Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez, is now on sale.
Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down.
Plot twist:Bendis is doing all of the books. All of them. With Greg Land on art.
>>83396995
All I ask if for adult Cyclops to come back, I could literally not give a shit about the X-Men till that happens.
Also make Spider-Man double ship and keep the Ms Marvel creative team the same.
Besides that, everything else can get cancelled.
>>83396995
So it's just the same logo but harder to read?
>>83396995
I just don't get it. Why are they doing Marvel Now again? It makes no sense and will just make it harder for normies to figure out what to read.
>>83396995
So could I maybe get a new FF ongoing?
No?
Well fuck you too Marvel
>Marvel is so creatively bankrupt they're now doing sequels to promotional branding.
>>83397148
Marvel NOW! Anon. Not Marvel Now.
edgy logo
Oh great, another relaunch in less than a year. Marvel why you don't just have your writers try to do some good books, instead of this annual relaunch trick.
>>83397502
Why not both? Like they've been doing for the past few years.
/nice it will sells
>>83397502
When has having good books ever resulted in increases of sales? More often than not, the better written the comic, the lower it will sell.
>>83397317
It also was NOW! before.
>>83396995
I'll buy all books day one five copies I swear I will.
IF ONLY YOU REMOVE BENDIS FROM GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
I mean, the DnA dream is dead and the not meme era is long gone, but I still believe that with the right writer some can be salvaged.
>>83396995
So they just took the old marvel now logo and make it look like Aftershock's logo?
>>83397119
Anon, marvel would never have anything called "mutant land".
>>83397682
Well, now Marvel NOW! is Marvel THEN! because it will soon be Marvel NOW!
>>83397799
Ewing could salvage it, but there's no hope of Bendis taking his grubby little hands off of Guardians. At least not until he does Annihilation II since that's what he's been setting up for his ANAD run, but with how decompressed he writes everything, that probably won't be for another like 3 years at this point.
>>83397317
It's NOWER! than Now!
We might be getting another Avenger Arena. I wish President Trump would start WWIII to nuke the world
>>83397073
Same bring back Cyclops, and theFantastic Four and I'll be happy.
>>83398079
There's also the inevitable Thanos event to coincide with Avengers 3 and 4. Who better than a name you know will sell to write that?
So what are the chances of this 'seasonal model' horseshit going the way of the dodo after Alonso leaves?
I have stopped reading all but three Marvel titles as a result of that nonsense.
>>83396995
So what you're saying is, we have to kill Alonso.
>>83396995
Love how the NOW! is all shattered and tough looking while in reality we're at the point where marvel will play it safe and as close to the chest as possible.
>>83398252
>kill Alonso
>Bendis becomes EiC
>>83398046
stop yelling
>>83398283
Not true! Tom Brevoort is much closer to becoming Editor In Chief than Bendis, who is still only a writer.
clever way to hide the fact that ANAD was a flop
>>83397119
Looks like Marvel's been stuck in bathroom world for the past couple of years
>>83398142
MCGA
>>83398343
Brevoort doesn't want to be EiC.
>>83398343
Oh boy. Can't wait to get Brevoort'd all over the place.
>>83398282
With this new logo, they're admitting that their business model isbroken.
>>83398369
Finally, something I can agree with Brevoort on
>>83396995

>Give Quesada a heart attack

>Spidey gets to be with MJ again
There are no down sides to this.
>>83398186
Well that's most likely going to be Eternity War, which Ewing is already setting up through New Avengers, Ultimates, and CoC (RIP).
>>83398711
>Spidey gets to be with MJ again
Not while Slott still walks the Earth.
>>83398754
Why doesn't Spidey just rape MJ?

Slott would just eat his way out of the dungeon.
>>83396995

Let's take bets on who they mean by this

That's it
>>83396995

>returning favorites

You're going to stop sucking?
>>83398847
Then how do we get rid of him?
>>83399049
You don't. Anyone who tries to get to close to Slott gets eaten and is never seen again.
>>83399083
Then we do it from a distance. Throw a poison sandwich his way. Done.
>>83396995
Marvel had a once in a lifetime opportunity to reinvent their brand, but they're just letting the days go by. Once the money's gone, the talking heads will have to ask themselves if they were right, or if they were wrong.
>>83399042
>As long as they're relevant to our movies, or named logan
So, Logan and Thor?
I'm so fucking tired of Marvels Relaunches. They are literally nothing everytime.
>>83396995
Damn we '90s now
Will a Marvel comic ever beat the 16 books from DC thst made it too 52
>>83396995
So since we all know that the new titles will all be $4.99 I have to ask. Will any of you actually buy any of this? I love the Marvel universe but I just can't support this industry anymore
>>83399865
It looks like Marvel is dead set on Event then relaunch. So even with double shipping the most we can expect is a book to get to #16. I don't see Marvel having an Event be less than 4 months
>>83400062
I'm hoping that DC Rebirth titles will sell really well and that'll kinda force marvel to make some of their titles 2.99 again
Probably won't happen but 3.99 titles are something I'm not here for, let alone 4.99 #1s
>>83400153
Marvel is announcing events before the next one even starts.
>>83400062
>>83400226
>You can buy 6 DC #1's for $18
>You can only buy 4 Marvel #1's for $20
Why is this allowed?
>>83400264
And they openly admit that almost no effort went into Civil War II. It just makes me sad
>>83400350
>marvel had a 56 total page for 5.99
>dc had a 80 page for 2.99 and a 5.99 reprint with nicer binding
>they came out a week apart
>the former will probably still sell more than the latter
>>83400468
Rebirth outsold Cap
>>83400544
I think he's talking about CW2.
Cap was just "40" pages like all the other #1s I think
>>83400580
Ah yeah. Well Civil War II probably had a gorillion variants. So it will "Sell" better. But what the really means is that half of those sales will be in the fucking bargain bin in a few months
>>83400651
>>83400580
It had 26 fucking variants
>>83400544
>>83400580
To be fair Rebirth is having a third printing. And so is Scooby Doo Apocalypse for somehow
>>83400867
>Scooby Doo Apocalypse getting a second printing
Yesssssss
>>83400835
Cap or CW2?
>>83396995
Loved the talking heads reference
>>83400468
What's this about a reprint of Rebirth with nicer binding?
>>83400062
$5 for floppies is just too much. At that point it's just time to trade wait.
>>83401041
It's square bound instead of a regular floppy, I think.
>>83400867
>>83400933
DC Comics have chosen not to increase the price of the DC Universe Rebirth #1 again for its third print in an attempt to see what they can get away with, so for that we can be grateful. It will remain $5.99.
The third printing, on sale on July 6th will have a new Gary Frank cover, so we won’t get to see more of Dr Manhattan.
While all the new Rebirth comics out today will be going to second prints, that’s Batman Rebirth #1, Green Lanterns Rebirth #1, Superman Rebirth #1 and Green Arrow Rebirth #1. These will all be out on June 29th.
And Scooby Doo Apocalypse #1 has also gone to 2nd print.
As has Justice League #50,
And Superman #52.
>>83401075
Marvel trades are overpriced. A this point it's time to pirate
>>83401124
Did DC actually pull it off? Are they actually going to have sales parity with Marvel again?
>>83401147
This is also true. $18 for a paperback of 5 issues is insane.
>>83401075
>$5 for Gwenpool
Well it's goodbye to Marvel
>>83401118
What does square bound mean? Sorry, not really familiar with a lot of these industry terms.
>>83401235
>Following the release and success of "DC Universe: Rebirth" #1 this past Wednesday, DC Comics has announced that the blockbuster issue will return to stores with a second printing on June 8th. The new edition will feature an updated cover from artist Gary Frank and it will be presented in a new, square bound format that will give the issue a spine. The first edition of the oversized "DC Universe: Rebirth" was stapled like a standard comic.
>>83401235
The book has a sturdier square edge instead of the regular stapled floppy
>>83401200
>$18 for a paperback of 5 issues is insane.
The fuck!? A typical Image trade that has 6 issues is only $15 and that's creator owned
>>83401304
Ah ok, thank you. Might tempt me into double-dipping since that looks like something that could go on a shelf.
>>83397655
It worked for Shonen Jump.
I think Marvel would have sold more if they used cheaper paper to sell cheaper books like Japan did.
>>83400468
Don't you know Marvle is run by Jews? Why do you think they are pushing "progressive" tumblr and affirmative action heroes?
Don't pay for Jewish tricks
>>83401344
>>83401200
>>83401230
If people will pay for it, they have no reason to lower the price.
>>83401344
Yeah and that's without factoring in that almost every Image volume 1 trade is $10, or that Image trades come out on a reasonable schedule, or etc.
>>83401458
Are there any bigger cucks on the planet than comic fans?
>>83396995
>X Men, Avengers, and Spider crossovers between SW and CW2
>CW2
>Dead No More
>Death of X

So what's the next big thing marvel will announce?
They have an X Men and Spider man thing so I'm guessing an Avengers thing will be the first thing after Marvel Nower starts.

But Adam Warlock is the All-new All-different Living Tribunal, and I highly doubt we're going to be getting a Living Tribunal ongoing.
>>83401988
They keep selling so a lot of people apparently.
>>83396995
Can they get rid of Slott on ASM already? That's all I ask.
>DC doing everything they can to make comics affordable and enjoyable

>Everyone gives them money
Fucking goddamn normies
>>83401864
Thanos.
Or maybe Dr Doom or Ultimate Reed will do something.
Or something with Dr Strand since his movie is coming up.
When will these idiots learn that the only way to make comics sell well again is to put them in newsstands, walmarts and supermarkets. Fucking Diamond.
>>83403294

Right, because magazines sure are selling so well these days.

That is pretty much Marvel strategy right now.
>>83404089
>implying they may try to fill in the eight-month gap
Would anyone care to read that? I much rather forget SW happened, and most of Hickman Avengers given no one is rolling with it except for the Inhumanity bit. Everything that happened in-universe between the ending of Inhumanity and SW pretty much was a long deviation, it feels like 616 was paused, and resumed.
No one even cares to do a story about how RightClops got a Phoenix Egg in the first place. Bendis never even got to do anything past Original Sin because he is a dumb ass.
Anyhow I rather see creators do their own thing and have continuity go fuck itself. Marvel events have been utter shit since....the original Secret War.
So what are the chances of this 'seasonal model' horseshit going the way of the dodo after Alonso leaves?
I have stopped reading all but three Marvel titles as a result of that nonsense.
>>83403932
5.) Marco Rudy getting consistent work.

what's wrong with the seasonal model? the change in creative teams is gonna happen either way, this just makes it easier to keep track of. it's easier to track down trades this way.
>>83408815
it really isn't. How the fuck do the trades even work now? Do they still keep their volume numbers despite getting relaunched content?
>>83396995
If you wanted to shake up Marvel, how would you do it?
>Iron Man, Spider-man (Pete), FemThor, Sam Wilson, Doc Strange, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Blue Marvel, Medusa, Cyclops, Black Bolt and maybe some others are all kidnapped by Skrulls, aided by a cosmic cube or something and replaced, declaring it a complete infiltration of the upper crust of Earth's heroes
>The younger heroes, mainly Ms Marvel, Miles Morales and the new Nova end up leading the Earth effort to save them

>>83409884
Pretty much every X-Rebirth book, sold out this week within a day of them coming out at my store.
Not that I mind that much as I buy trades anyway.
>>83409978
the transition point from ANAD to NOW: redux will be when ANAD has been around for one year. Just like how ANAD replaced NOW: All New after it had been around for a year, which in turn replaced the original NOW after one year
>>83396995
>This flat out confirms Marvel is now full-stop doing the event and relaunch seasonal model.
This is one of THE most terrible things a big publisher could do to the industry. It's going to frustrate stores and customers and lead to burnout.
Plus it leads to writers constantly having to alter their runs and hold off on doing ideas so they don't step on the toes on the next big event.
Terrible.
As someone who doesn't read any Marvel, should I assume this will be a good jumping on point? Marvel seems to relaunch like every year
>>83410164
Who cares? Marvel's publishing is just a Star Wars factory and movie farm these days anyway. Every once in a while they throw a minority in a costume to lap up some good boy points and neckbeard rage.
And that's it.
So Marvel has basically become event - relaunch - event - relaunch. To the point where they are now doing it on a yearly basis.
God damn the comic industry has to be in more dire straights then we thought if this is how they are drawing sales.
>>83396995
Marvel is bad
>>83410244
Dubs don't lie. DC > Marvel
>>83410182
nah. some books might be a good starting point but others will directly continue stuff from the previous run. and even then, most characters their best jumping on point is a run from several years ago
>>83410164
>It's going to frustrate stores and customers and lead to burnout.
Good. Very bloody good. I'm tired of all the eventshit that's been shitted out ever since Civil War.
Maybe it finally stops being profitable and we could go back to comic runs not being interrupted for the sake of yet another shitty event.
Would this fuck up floppy sales? seems like people would go trade if they know it will always be a short run
It sells and angry people still buy it.
>>83409745
Everyone did... 50 issues ago... then it just kept going... and going... and going... oh look, Superior, oh wait its gone... and going... and then here we are.
>>83410300
Floppy sales are already fucked. Why do you think marvel is doing all the variants and #1 variant covers? They are propping the numbers up artificially because they know that speculators and comic fans will rush out to buy them. (either for speculative value or nerd cred)
>>83410329
>speculators
Since everything is reprinted and traded these days, doesn't that kill any value the floppy may have? Legit question. I never really bothered with floppy back issues.
>>83410287
we'll go back to there not being a comic industry. the only thing left will be a patreon fueled webcomic industry heavily slanted towards never ending romantic comedies.
>>83410378
Surprisingly it hasn't all that much.
Books don't go for the ludicrous prices they used to but famous single issues or runs can go for a pretty penny.
>>83410391
Early 2000s capes didn't have EVENTEVENTEVENT every time someone in Marvel farts, and everything was okay. Hell, even quality of many works was better than shit we receive now.
>>83399049
We let him write She-Hulk or Pym again instead so that he can become a harmless mediocre writer again
Doesn't this check off the Civil War II Bingo space for 'event leads to a reboot/status quo shift'?
I want an Ultron book.
just fucking give me it marvel, iron man has two books. Guardians have six. Ant-Man can have another book.

>>83408815
>it's easier to track down trades this way
Uh not really
You'll run into the problem of having multiple volume 1s and many of them may just be continuations of the last relaunch and have the same writer.
Captain Marvel now has like 3 or 4 volume 1s
And one reason why New 52 volume 1s kept selling is because there wasn't much well and that was the most well known jumping on point. With having multiple volume 1s in the short amount of time readers may get confused as to what's the jumping on point.
>>83410164
I was reading uncanny X-Men, they were going to reveal who the new Hellfire Club people are, and they had to delay that for months because Bunn was told to write an Apocalypse event, and a Civil war tie in.
Events are bad because they interrupt stories, or even end great runs that could have continued for years.
Can the comic bit of Marvel be saved? I don't mean is it going to die out from poor sales. I mean has it just gone too far down the shit with the people that run it that they will only hire similarly poor calibre people who wont be able to bring a renascence.
>>83412656
No, the people running Marvel don't care about comics and are just using it to push their agenda and use it as a farm for movies.
>>83408815
It's not easier to keep track of because it resets the sequential order each time they relaunch a book.
>>83410237
>To the point where they are now doing it on a yearly basis.
They've been on this annual event/relaunch cycle for 4 years now.
>>83408793
Funny, here in Italy it's the exact opposite, DC's publisher uses very weak paper and covers, and you often see printing errors, yet their floppies cost more than Marvel's, although it's usually a matter of cents

If so then why it's called "NOW"?
>>83401371
I hate people spouting this shit.
The culture of comic reading and releasing in Japan is completely different than in States in which it supports those anthologies better (they use public transport like civilised people and read manga anthologies on the way and later just throw them out). And those anthologies are still less and less profitable. They are a way to market collected editions, but a way that slowly becomes more costly than it's worth. They will need to find something new, and it seems like free digital samples will be a way to go.
Also most of the WSJ mangas are shit.
>>83404120
Not really. Bends on well-known characters like Spider-Man or Iron Man or Wolverine or maybe Daredevil would sell (although in Iron Man's case, it's selling as well as Fraction's run), but other stuff like Moon Knight or Spider-Woman didn't. He has his sales limits.
I really hope this falls flat so marvel is forced to stop relying on relaunching to raise sales.
>>83416715
To be fair, no one can make Moon Knight or Spider-Woman sell
>>83416825
Which is a shame because Moon Knight is great. Just wait until he gets his Netflix show, then hopefully he'll sell.
>>83396995
Marvel NOW! = Fuck comics, now me movies are the main universe
>>83416223
> and later just throw them out
The first thing I saw in Tokyo was a manga in a trash can in Narita.
It's easy to spot mountains of mangas and magazines in the street, or people just sell them in Bookoff for a few coins.
>>83401371
Late as all hell, but SJ works because its one book. Readers are told by the book when the next issue of One Piece is coming out so they can go by the gas station that day instead of every Wednesday, or having to keep track of weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly issues.
SJ is a much better system than what weekly comics are doing, honestly. Thats why it works for them. Good series being released in a single mag results in an increase of sales for the mag. Having a good comic doesn't increase sales for other comics, and those good comics usually hidden on the stands.
I really wish Marvel would move to monthly trades for books, or simply make a SJ-style magazine for a bunch of comics, not necessarily all of them.

Didn't ANAD have really disappointing numbers as well?
Are they seriously going to do this shit every few months forever?

They don't have any creative control of the movies following Civil War though

It wouldn't work. The American comic industry is heavily based around collectors. Collectors who collect floppies. That's why you have those million covers. In Japan collectors collect merch.
There is matter of different deadlines, different release quality, different everything. You can copy something that was once successful in different country with completely different comic culture and hope that it will work.

Until the universe contracts and we get a new Galactus.

I can imagine a SJ style compilation working for the few series like X-Men or the Spider books. Multiple stories per issue at fewer pages each week.

Marvel have been in the buisness of making any book they publish a jumping off points with their b.s butchering of characters
Every day I become more and more convinced that the 2010s are just a shittier version of the '90s, and stuff like this doesn't help.

Yeah it kind of did. The first issue sales were strong but subsequent issues were lower than if they hadn't canceled.
So how many relaunches did we have?

Marvel NOW!
Did I miss any?

And no one can make Iron Man into a truly top-tier popular comic book character.
Robert Downey Jr. made him a worldwide movie star, but without Downey he's just not top-tier and never has been.

The first one was still Marvel NOW! actually

> "After a day of people screeching at me about a comic I had nothing to do with, I remembered how happy I was not to be part of that world anymore. People are constantly asking why I don't go back to Marvel, assuming there was some huge problem that caused me to leave, but really it was just a slow burnout, tiring of endless events and stunts and reboots." - Ed Brubaker

It was actually Marvel NOW! as you can see in the dialogue.
That's right, they just reused the name.

Alonso really irritates me for some reason, even though I know he's probably not a bad EiC.
All his public pronouncements are so robotic and bland, and that Comic Book Resources column he does is unreadable except when Brevoort or Quesada take over - people who may say annoying things but actually say something.

All new Marvel NOW
I just the X-Men to get back to being a family, at some level, and the Fantastic Four back.
I know neither of these will happen, so I'll be making mine DC till then.
