Being on the cover doesn't really mean they are in the book.

Miles is on a representative cover for Old Man Logan. Left side, Logan's old world. Right side, the upbeat and hopeful Marvel Universe (you see the edges of other heroes in the image). Contest of Champions has everyone, since it's based on the mobile game.
You're really worrying about nothing.

I kinda feel like the secret wars books are basically the last real expression of creativity in marvel for a while. Months of non stop craziness, do whatever you want, and then it all ends.
There'll be a handful of good books still, Aaron is still putting in the work. But it's pretty much exactly like New 52. There was still Snyder Batman but overall it was by the numbers dreck.
But don't get too down. It took a few years but then Grayson came and changed everything.
Actually, wait. There's more than Snyder/Aaron. We got Ewing. Always Ewing.
Hang in there.

And waid. I guess it ain't all bad. But secret wars is so fun and crazy. This don't look it.
Guardians #3000 #3 was good, it's growing on me. The art helps, dat Sandoval <3
Silver Surfer #8 was excellent as usual, the feels when Dawn finally finds out that Surfer used to be...you know...responsible for trillions of deaths

How about we give these books, say, one issue to establish themselves before declaring the death of creativity at Marvel?

I'm sure Venom would still love to eat Spider-Man's brain.
Let's be generous and say two.

I'll wait until I see more logos.
But you're right. Every interview I read so far got me hype. Hope Gerry Conway ain't next to break the streak lofl
Current Venom is Flash Thomson who loves Spider-Man

Just let one of them be Squirrel Girl and I'll let the rest of this Nu52 ass Island of Misfit Creative Teams slide
I don't ask for much
Squirrel Girl and Silver Surfer
And She Hulk
Edit: assuming that it's Kitty as Starlord, we are still missing Emma and Cyke
The solo seems to be Quill, but Kitty in Guardians.
Based on sales, I imagine Moon Knight is coming back.

Wish we just got more fresh blood in ANAD for the creative teams. No Fraction, Remender, or Hickman is really noticeable and that's bad.

To replace missing top tier writers
New 52 initially had a lot of internal issues that don't seem to be present here.

We just don't know who they are yet. I'm confident that Ewing will be top tier this time next year, for one.

Nothing else even matters. Just give me Squirrel Girl and a twix and Im set. Marvel Comics architects can be Bunn/Tom Taylor instead of Hickman/Remender for all I care

Yeah I like what I've read from him, so I'm pretty confident in his stuff. But even then, does he need to be on three different Marvel ongoings? Would be nice to see more writers rather than spreading their current ones out like this.

New guard needs time to build up. Basically what echoshifting said:
the whole "white guy surrounded by presumably Asian women in Japan" thing comes off as a bit problematic, no?
I seriously think it'll be Foggy this time.Time to read Daredevil #11 and enjoy what little Kirsten I have left
Probably both. Gotta get dat grimdark Matt back, happiness is for kids

only if you see everything as problematic
Spock always finds a way.
No, not at all. He's always been popular with women- moving to another country wouldn't change that.

But...... isn't that going to generally be the case for any white guy that goes to Japan?
Seems like you're reaching on this one.

I'm looking at the cover for the new New Avengers, would someone like to tell me what the fuck is happening with Songbird's waist?
Freezasaurus

I find it interesting that you're pointing out her waist instead of HOLY FUCK SONGBIRD IS ON A COMIC BOOK COVER I DON'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME THAT HAPPENED!
Time to read Daredevil #11 and enjoy what little Kirsten I have left
Maybe she'll be okay. Gambit/Not Gambit is here to take that death in her place.

Why spread it out among more new writers when you can burn out your hottest new one?
Someone said there's like 15 titles still waiting to be revealed.

Because by the time he has his mental breakdown the others will be back and ready for more punishment.
It's just that with the continuing issues of exotification, especially within Asian groups, portraying your white hero as a James Bond sex god coming to grace the foreign folk (and not, say for example, random crowds cheering him on from the streets like any other group of citizens seeing Spider-Man) is probably not the best foot forward. Just saying.

He's on the best team though. It has squirrel girl dude!
Uncanny is by far the better team. New has by far the better artist. I dont give 2 fucks about Squirrel Girl.

Oh no, I get it. It can certainly fall into a harem anime trope if you choose to look at it that way. But I don't think that was the intention.
