I looked up Cap spoilers and i don't care about the story but that final image is going to make for a great avatar.

I don't think it would be spoilery i it didn't have the same words and is cropped, but what do you think? Hold off?

 

[ElNarez]

I understand that's our starting point. My concern is all the Superman books are going to get wrapped up in each others' plotlines so if you're not reading Action Comics, Superman is going to be confusing at times, for instance.

I mean, I feel like that's not gonna be a problem, because all the Superman books are gonna be about a different character? Like, you've got Lex in Action, Lois in Superwoman, and so on

 

[TheFlow]

Even if the books crossover for an event you don't have to buy every book to understand what's going on

That is my hope! Like I said I'm gonna give a couple of them a shot, so we'll see.

I wish I could, I heard the Green Lantern stuff in particular is great, but I spent way too much money already on the main story, all my books today (21!) and Overwatch. I'm on a spending freeze for a week.

Fair enough.
Definitely go back and check them out if you get the chance though, especially that King/Shaner GL book.

I like echo's list. It shows dedication. I'm pulling every single marvel book so I'm not going to bother to list.

 

[Lashley]

I love 2099. Definitely the best Spidey book. I included it in my "grim and gritty" count because Miguel is a grouch lol

its amazing

Miguel is an angsty teen

Pulling every title from a publisher takes pure dedication. People who work for marvel probably don't even read that much from them

 

[Brian Fellows]

My reading list for tonight at work.....

Ms Marvel #1
Spider-Woman #1
All New Wolverine #2
New Avengers #3
Spider-Gwen #2

And if get through that (I won't) #8 of Superior Foes.

Looks more like a tease than an Easter egg. I'm pretty sure we'll see it happen

Its not a relaunch. Its just a opportuntiy to start a couple of #1.
Like they did since AvX a couple of times, or like DC did wit DCyou

 

[echoshifting]

#1s do pretty good sales and are (usually) great jumping-on points

This is the new normal for Marvel.

 

[Serpentine]

fucked up that people are giving attention to a Nick Spencer comic

Duuuuude I just got Rebirth for free. Saw a twitter promo from Grant Gustin. First 2500 get it from CMX. I love this day!!

All I want is a Kate Hawkeye book or her in a team with America ect

It's a yearly refresh to launch some new books and convince new readers that it's a good place to jump onto existing ones.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I think their sales are actually lower now than pre SW

 

[TetraxShards]

I think their sales are actually lower now than pre SW

And yet they have over 50% of unit sales.

This industry is screwed.

 

[echoshifting]

Whaaaat Nick Spencer is great
Superior Foes is a modern classic and The Fix is shaping up to be the same

 

[Lashley]

Do new readers ever jump on though with these relaunches?

Continuity would still be confusing as fuck for them, it was for me when I began long ago

 

[echoshifting]

Anything I need to know about Grail and Myrina Black that predates Darkseid War? I'm a few issues in, they seem pretty important.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Would anyone here be interested in pictures of my collection? I am always about to post them but I always like, eh, its like bragging, dont do it.

Do it! I love seeing 'em. I don't think it's bragging, we all love comics here.

Can't brag about buying comics. Go ahead. Better be a statue in there somewhere.

It's easier now than ever, with the recap pages, but I still recommend that people at the beginning of runs. I want to get everything I can out of a story, not just meet the basic requirements of being able to follow it.

I think Slott's Spider-Man is one of those books that picks up new readers at different times. It's not easy to go to the beginning of that one, but there are still smaller things in there like Superior and Spider-Verse that folks get interested in.

Doubtful they happen so often these days that they just make things even more confusing.

The Marvel Now preview magazine will be out July 13th. I'm curious to see who they put on Star-Lord and if this is when the Kate book comes.

 

[tim1138]

I dunno man, this sounds like a relaunch to me: "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"

Anything I need to know about Grail and Myrina Black that predates Darkseid War? I'm a few issues in, they seem pretty important.

Their first appearance was in last year's Free Comic Book Day issue which should be on CMX.
