What IS Marvel Now? Is it an event?

Another relaunch
It's a branding for when Marvel will launch a bunch of new books and refresh some older ones.

Wow, I already got my Goon statue from Amazon. They must not be selling that well because I got #28/550. Lordy this thing is heavy!
It's actually a bit under 8" tall, but it's also pretty wide. It's got enough mass to justify the price, I think. AND IT'S HEAVY.

It's mainly for marketing purposes and it's only going to affect some books.
Awesome
i just put a note in my calendar to avoid midtown west for those days
My brain auto-corrected this to the Morrison Absolute Batman and Robin and I got kind of excited, and then I remembered this was a thing.

Jesus fucking christ I am tired of Black Cat. You have other crime bosses, Marvel
but why
The main issue is that it feels like she's running in circles. Building a syndicate, brainwashing and kidnapping civilians, stealing Parker Inc tech, fucking with the goblins... because Octavius knocked out a tooth.
I mean I'm not sure why Peter hasn't created something to counter the bad-luck powers yet tbh, maybe Miles' can do it I guess.
Looks like you're out of luck.

But seriously, how many of them can you say have boobies? Not counting Kingpin.
I'm pretty sure her issue with Spider-Man is that
getting arrested caused everything she stole to be repossessed and all of her contacts cut her off and now she wants to build her standing in the criminal world back up as part of a plan to torture Peter. We'll see if they ever get back to that though lol

Why does he wear the mask!?
Yep, a surprise hit for me
COMICGAF, I need some advice. I just read Sandman by Neil Gaiman and it was absolutely amazing and revealed to me just how great comics can be. Now I'm thinking of starting with superheroes, but have no idea where to start since the universes are so massive. Any recommendations on where I should start? I'm thinking of getting Marvels and the Dark Knight Returns to start.

Hope you don't also not like Fin Fang Foom who has showed up in so many books I'm suspecting he's the true bad guy in Civil War II
It's freaking phenomenal.
Hey! Welcome to the world of comics! Looks like you started at the top and are working your way down to the bottom. If you really enjoyed Sandman, why not stay in universe for a bit? There's a whole world of spinoffs and supplementary material that I'm sure you would enjoy. I would absolutely go back and start Lucifer by Mike Carey like right now.
If you really want to dig into the whole world of superheroes, Start with Watchmen by Alan Moore? It seems like it would be right up your alley. Let that be your gateway into DC.
If you want a really cool self contained story, Justice by Jim Kreuger is incredible. It gives you a taste of all that JLA goodness.

Check out some standalone stories and series. The ones you named are good examples.
A few books I would recommend to someone starting out are Hawkeye by Matt Fraction and Daredevil by Mark Waid. Very accessible and some of the best comics that Marvel has published over the past few years.
Since you've already gotten into Vertigo with Sandman, I'd highly recommend Doom Patrol by Grant Morrison. It's fantastic.

I'm a few issues behind, but it's good. I recommend it to Bond fans.

Some of the puzzle is decoded.
Aww, Gunman and Green Gunman are close together. Cute.
Nah he's good, though he's doom in name only.

God damn, Hillbilly #1 is everything I hoped it would be.
I refuse to believe you're interested in anything that isn't Overwatch.

Nice. Currently one of my favorites as far as new titles.

Why did they even bother releasing a Vision tpb when we know they're just going to release a single beautiful hardcover when the series is done?
One of us, one of us
If you haven't already, get Matthew Rosenberg's first Black Mask book, We Can Never Go Home, as well.
