>>86321539
Nice concept, but it's marvel. It won't be good but it might have a few cool moments. Spiderman vs the giant spider?

>>86321539
Is that a Black Bolt with purple added to the costune or someone new on the far left?

Neat

>>86321539
Super okay with this, there were like 4 people in the original reveal thread who were excited for this and I was among them

>>86321539

This is Deadpool's fault, right?

>>86321539
Here I was expecting some Morbius, werewolf by night or manthing, but it's just shit.

>>86321539
That's actually cool idea.

Shame they probably going to ruin the execution.

>>86321695
How?

>>86321726
It's marvel

>>86321747
Yeah but how?

WHERE IS MY MAN-THING SOLO MARVEL.

>>86321726
greg land is part of it

>>86321539
Sounds like an interesting concept. Hope they don't fuck it up (or put Bendis in charge of it).

>>86321783
Is another hero vs thing instead of horror stuff.

>>86321809
There ya go now that lowers my expectation.

>>86321819
Technically, only a few of the giant monsters could be categorized as heroes.

>>86321783
It's still marvel

>>86321539
This could be mildly interesting, but Marvel has crushed my spirits.

>>86321813
Bunn is writing it.

>>86321539
Goddammit, I was expecting horror comics not more cape shit. Bunn sucks at cape shit, he's at least pretty good at horror.

>Cullen Bunn

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

He can occasionally write villains (Sinestro/Magneto) but his work for hire stuff is just so weak on average.

Shiet

>>86321583
I thought for sure that it was Black Bolt but now that I'm getting a closer look it's actually hard to tell. The wings are way longer than they should be, and that purple looks like its seperate parts of the suit rather than just weird lightning making it appear purple.

I'm going to assume that the artist just went off-model with Black Bolt, but it is pretty weird.

>>86321660
Fuck off, the Kirby Monsters are great and never get any attention outside of the occasional background monster to get beaten up while heroes quip at each other.

The 70s monsters on the other hand show up fucking constantly in supporting roles. I mean shit, it wasn't that long ago that Morbius got his own ongoing.

It is kind of weird that they're using Monsters Unleashed (which was a 70s monster title) for a 50-60s monsters event. You'd think they would have gone with something more closely associated with them like WHERE MONSTERS DWELL!

>>86321813
We already know the whole creative team attached. It's Cullen Bunn writing with a rotating artist team of:
>Yu
>Land
>LaRocca
>McNiven
>Kubert

>>86322074
Don't you tease me like that!

>>86321554
I don't know where you got that from the article. It just sounds like someone is mind controlling classic Marvel monsters, including Devil and Groot.

If anything, this is going to feature the superhero community in a climate similar to Secret Invasion, but with somewhat less animosity.

>>86322248
Groot's backstory is in desperate need of clarification, but I fear it's going to get even more convoluted.

>>86322248
More than likely. Maybe a splinter from the original groot that gained sentience and became part of the guardians..

>>86322243
>hating America
I bet you're a fucking LEAF.

>>86322248
I dont think so. Its still canon that gotg groot came to earth back in the day.

>>86321539
I hope the Guardians have a tie-in that brings up what Groot USED to be like.

>>86322281
>an anthology book
>working for the big 2 in current year

I trust Bunn. Demons and Monsters have been his favorite topic, and this seems like he's having a ball. I mean, even back during Fearless Defenders, his goal was to include every marvel female ever in the book. This book boasting it will have every monster Marvel ever made seems like a fun idea that he really wants to do.

I'm game.

>>86321539
Has anyone else noticed the huge up-tick in Fin-Fang Foom usage? Was the focal point for arcs in Drax, Totally Awesome Hulk, and All-new Wolverine (which all came out in pretty quick succession), appeared in Lego Marvel, and now this.

>>86322321
Well, considering that image has a picture of Rocket shooting Kirby-Groot, that seems pretty likely.

>>86322334
>I trust Bunn.
no

What connection do the x-men have with monsters ?

I know that frankestein was introduced in an x-men comic but they are more related to demons and aliens.

>>86322074
Are you blind dude, it's obviously Blackbolt in his new costume with the colors fucked up. You can see lower half of his face.

>>86321539
I'm only interested if they reference Fin Fang Four.
And Devil Dinosaur ends up joining the USAvengers.

Where is Land going to get porno stills to trace these monsters from?

>>86322332
They always do anthology books for whatever event is happening at the time, and those tend to do alright in sales. Also A+X was an anthology book that had some legs to it.

I really don't see why the Big 2 are so adverse to anthology books. I mean, I get that they don't sell that great, but when they do do them, the sales are rarely that low. You'd think having one ongoing anthology book like a Marvel Presents or something would work out well. It's the perfect place to stories for all the c-listers that can't get their own books but should be checked in on every now and then.

>>86322382
Land is good with monsters

>>86322392
Did you not see how low Legends of Tomorrow sold

>>86322411
They should have headlined it with a Batman story or something. Fucking Firestorm and a title taken from a CW show, especially the DC one that did the lowest ratings, weren't enough of a draw.

>>86321539
>5 issues
>shipped bi-weekly
>different artist per issue
Neat. Sounds like a nice little one-and-done story. But the real question is: will "X, the Thing that Lived" appear? He's my favorite Kirby Monster.

>>86321539
Wait why are Marvel and Ironman fighting monsters together?
Aren't they in the middle of a civil war.

>>86321539
I want to be excited for this, but I'm so fucking tired of marvel heroes being written like shit. If it were just about the monsters it would be different.

>>86321539

Who's on the top left? Next to Chulk?

>>86322515
That's not Tony, he's retired.

>>86322515
Well first off, that's probably Ironheart, not Tony. Second off, this takes place after Civil War II. According to the interview, the plot is:
>The heroes of the Marvel Universe are all divided and at each other's throats as a result of CWII but are forced to unite and work together to stop the monsters' attack

So it's a "set aside our difference to stop an impossible threat" event. Though, quite frankly, I'll be rooting for the monsters this time around.

>>86322542
A retirement that'll last till what?
Iron Man 4? The next Avengers movie?

All it takes is RDJ on screen again and Tony is back like he never left.

>>86322534
colossus

>>86322534
Colossus.

>>86322588
So after the big divide event, they're using an old monster title as an excuse to have a everyone kiss and make up for team up event?

>>86322480
The article says that if you leave a mention on the #Monstersunleashed Hastag on twitter, they will remember to put them in.

>>86322590
A year or two, they have to at least push Riri for awhile if they want to want those diversity points.

>>86322590
Infinity War is 2 years away yet, so yeah, 2 years sounds about right. That gives Riri long enough to establish herself, and if she's well-received, can spin off into her own book and if she's not well-received, can just be canned. Meanwhile, I can't imagine Marvel having Dr. Doom calling himself Iron Man for longer than 2 years. Even Superior Spider-man didn't last that long.

>>86322607
Yes, they need the heroes to be friends again so that they can tear them apart with the next shitty event.

>>86322607
Pretty much. Which would have some actual weight to it if there was a notable gap between CWII and Monsters Unleashed, but thanks to CWII's delays pushing its last issue into december, we're literally going to be going from CWII to Monsters Unleashed in a matter of weeks.

>>86322650

Maybe they'll rewrite the ending to Civil War II to setup Monsters Unleashed?
Like the monsters were somehow responsible for part of their bullshit?

Kinda like how Quicksilver was able to divert some of his problems by blaming them on Skrulls after Secret Invasion.

>>86322927
>Bendis rewriting something for OTHER WRITERS' benefits
Haha, fucking no? CWII's ending was supposed to set up the War for Hydra going on in the Captain Hydra book, but then Bendis went "nah, I've got a better idea" and decided to change it. Fucking over Spencer and delaying the book into December in the first place.

Make no mistake, it's other people's jobs to cater to Bendis, not the other way around.

Isn't the first Rebirth Batman crossover next month a kaiju story as well?

I ain't complaining but what's going on here?

>>86322970
marvel copying dc like usual

>>86322960
I don't even think Bendis understands the events he doesn't write. Look at Ultimate End for example. Better yet, look how he dodges the Clone Conspiracy by having Miles crossover with Spider-Gwen

>>86322970
>what's going on here?
It's called HYPERCRISIS, anon.

>>86322919
Groot wasn't in that, Man-Thing was.

>>86323026
The thing about Ultimate End is that it's pretty clearly a reworked script that originally had nothing to do with Secret Wars. The way the domain fusion works and is presented makes it abundantly clear that this was going to be some Spider-men 2 or something similar, then when the news came down that the Ultimate Universe was getting destroyed, Bendis just altered that script to accommodate Battleworld/Secret Wars, then just stopped caring about halfway through.

>>86322970

It's a revamp of an early Batman story

So how are they going to make it so that Man-Thing jobs to....oh I don't know; let's say Squirrel Girl

Batwoman fights monsters.
They're like her Brainiac. Shows up every 5 years and she has to deal with them while they're hyped as one of her bigger stories.

It happened with the crime bible cult full of werewolves and other monsters and murderers.
It happened with the story telling cult who was able to pump every lizard mythos into Killer Croc turning him into a legit dragon kaiju.
And idk what caused that giant bat gryphon in your pic, but it is up the greatest lesbian in all of Gotham to shove her military grade boots up its ass.

>>86321539
I wonder if Fin Fang Foom will put anyone in his pants.

>>86323047

He was a support member of the team in the 2006 series.

The Groot series from a little while ago made it clear that GotG Groot and OG Groot are separate characters. The latter was last on Monster Island in an issue of X-Men.

>>86323082
You might be onto something

He did the same thing in Guardians of Knowhere, which was just a showcase for two nobodies he was going to introduce in future issues of GotG, and his general misunderstanding of the nature and origins of Battleworld

>Night of the monster men
>Monsters unleashed
What's with the recent kaiju obsession?

Maybe trade sales will be good?

>>86323485
Old Man Logan is crazy because the first issue is great and appears as if Bendis has a very clear grasp of Battleworld's mechanics. Then in the second issue, suddenly there's a dozen contradictions with how it works and even contradictions with how Bendis explained how it worked in the first issue! Then it becomes Old Man Logan's tour of Battleworld that remains equally all over the place.

It's like the editor put in a bunch of work to fix Old Man Logan #1 then stopped caring for the rest and let Bendis just write whatever.

The thing about the Secret Wars tie-ins is that depending on the creative team, it was either a chance to go all out and create something great or an excuse to 100% phone it in while they work on other projects. Bendis clearly treated it in the latter fashion. But meanwhile you had Gillen writing one of the best Marvel books he'd done since JiM ended and creating an endcap to his time writing Marvel books or Weaver bring his A-game for Infinity Gauntlet.

I'm still a bit bummed that The Spider-man didn't get a cameo in Infinity Gauntlet though.

Man-Thing isn't a Kirby Monster. He probably won't be in this.

It's more likely that we'll get something like Squirrel Girl vs. Gargantus, The Thing that Walks Like a Man. And the answer to how she'll beat him is squirrels.

Can I hijack for a minute to ask for recs for the next era of monster comics?

What is the best Bronze Age horror stuff from the Big 2? I'm reading Tomb of Dracula now and it's based as fuck

>>86321956
You had terrible taste a couple years ago then.

>>86324920
You're already reading the best. Also check out Gerber's Man-Thing if you haven't before. That's a Marvel must-read.

>>86324920

Both Swamp Thing and Man Thing.
Tomb of Dracula is the other big one.

>>86325117
Oh wait, you said Big 2, not just Marvel. Then also include Moore's Swamp-Thing which is the best of the three.

>>86322098

I like the armor look. I've never understood why the king of an isolationist country goes around wearing a skin-tight, spandex superhero costume anyway.
