Marvel Rebirth Confirmed

Nick Spencer on suicide watch.

>Marvel Comics had a number of projects to announce to retailers at ComicsPRO in Memphis, Tennessee, this morning. I Am Groot, Guardians Of The Galaxy: Mother Entropy, The Spectacular Spider-Man – and the return to a down-on-his-luck Peter Parker, the deal with Archie Comics and the big one, Generations.

>But the word, expressed to me by a number of retailers, is that as we suggested, Marvel is going to be making changes to the line through 2017 to reflect retailer concerns regarding content – but will be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

>I am told that the title of the fall Marvel branding will be “Make Mine Marvel”. And that this will encompass the attitude Marvel wish to engender. You could probably add “Again” on the end.

>Marvel will be bringing back the classic characters to their roles – but then again, they always were. But they have been hearing from retailers who are hearing from their customers that they don’t like the fact that the Marvel Universe seems unrecognizable to them at the moment. It’s not just Steve Rogers having been replaced by Sam Wilson as Captain America, but that it’s every major character being replaced at the same time.

>And more importantly, having diverse characters take over the mantles of the originals means that they will always be seen as doppelgangers. These characters need to establish their own identities.
>>
>So here’s how you don’t throw the baby out. You give characters like Miles Morales, X-23, Ironheart, Sam Wilson, Amadeus Cho and others more discernible identities – or in some cases, return them. The Generations poster should give some indication about where Marvel is headed. As is the return to making X-Men prominent again, and bringing back a bit of the old mutant dollar to comic book stores. Consider that a dry run for everything else Marvel has planned.

>And while Marvel characters will remain political – in that they always have – there may be not so much wearing it on the sleeve. And for those worried about Secret Empire, retailers are assured it will be politically provocative but not partisan.

>There are outreach plans, Marvel mentioned the Archie Comics plan as a way to try and get people who don’t go to comic book stores hooked on reading the Marvel movie characters in comics form, but there are plenty more to come. They say they want to make retailers money, to keep the market healthy and blame DC Comics returnability for tying up retailers cashflow for low fourth quarter sales.

LOL at that last sentence. It can't possibly be because nobody was coming in since NOW2 was a dumpster fire. Of course it's fucking because of DC.

This was a big problem, they went too hard on that shit. Characters get replaced for a year or two all the time but you can't do everyone at once. Should have kept it to just Thor, that was their big success.

Rich is just speculating. Marvel will double down on this SJW shit as long as Muslim SJW Sana Amanat is the Director of Content and Character Development for Marvel Comics. ALL of these changes were her ideas. Axel saw that Ms Marvel did ok so he gave her the reins to everything and she fucked it up all at once.

How do they even have the audacity to blame DC? If they were blameless they wouldn't need their own rebirth

I'd be fine with Cho as Hulk for the foreseeable future.

Cho is the culmination of Pak's YEARS of work with Hulk.
>>
>>89976630
Obviously since DC offered some returns they couldn't use that money to order as many ultra high demand Marvel Comics as they potentially could to satisfy the legions of fans who now are deprived of their copy of Marvel Comics forever. DC is such a terrible company and clearly wants the direct market and loyal customers to suffer.

If this came from a legitimate love of Marvel's history with promising new and well established creators at the helm I'd be excited.

But this clearly a grab for sales with the same writers who've dragged down quality, just on different characters.

I know what it really means, but it's probably the first time I've seen it out of context and it looks completely different like this.

They use it out of the original context all the time.

My favorite variation is "Make Yours Marvel." Sounds awful.

>>89976667
It really depends on how he's written though. Chulk in his own book or in Nova is perfectly fine. But him in Champions or Ghost Rider is awful. He's very, very writer-sensitive.

Miles has a huge amount of potential. A problem with Spider-Man going back over a decade now is that there's a need to keep him close to his roots as a young guy with lots of struggles that young people have, despite being over 30 years old, but longer-time fans want to see him grow up and become more mature like he was in the 80's and 90's.

With Miles, there's the potential to eliminate that issue, with Peter being allowed to grow up while Miles stays as the young guy relatable to teens and young adults, and add Peter as his older mentor.

The two problems so far are 1) Bendis is in complete control and he's too much of a simpleton to do this correctly (though ironically, back when Ultimate was first starting he seemed like the natural fit) and 2) a huge number of fans absolutely refuse to accept Miles whether he's well-written or not, whether it's because of MUH PETER or the fact they perceive him as a forced diversity character.

I think if they could find the right writer who can balance fun superhero adventures with the kind of drama that made Spider-Man famous, there's a chance those annoying fanboys will eventually accept him.

>>89977294
That's been a problem with Cho his entire existence. He really is Pak's character through-and-through. Pak really should be the one writing Champions, though, not Waid.

I'm guessing the returnability is in place for new "Rebirth" titles. But since most all of them are already well past the cutoff and there's few new "Rebirth" series, it really doesn't impact much. Pic is from Big Bang's report this week.

>Literally /no one/ wants young Peter, just look at Spidey.
For almost 20 years now I've been hearing casuals bitch and whine about Peter being too old, and it's reflected in the comics, with Ultimate Spider-Man being so popular. Casuals want everything to be like the movies, simple and close to the origin stories. Just look at the newest movie with Peter being younger than he's ever even been in the comics.

The problem there being that casuals don't want young Spider-Man, they want young PETER.

Mr. Quesada is convinced that some good old-fashioned gloves-off rivalry will be good for business. “I liked it when the two companies hated each other,” he said. “It made it better for the fans. You know, if you like DC, then you hated Marvel. If you like Marvel, then you hated DC.”

“What the fuck is DC anyway?” Mr. Quesada said, stoking the fires. “They’d be better off calling it AOL Comics. At least people know what AOL is. I mean, they have Batman and Superman, and they don’t know what to do with them. That’s like being a porn star with the biggest dick and you can’t get it up. What the fuck?” (Paul Levitz, DC’s president and publisher, declined to comment for this story through a spokesperson.) https://www.google.com/amp/observer.com/2002/04/as-the-139-million-spiderman-debuts-in-movie-theaters-joe-quesada-the-trashtalking-editor-in-chief-of-marvel-comics-spins/amp/?client=ms-opera-mobile&espv=1

Dont forget Jim Shooter's tsundere rivalry with DC where he'd call writers and tell them they were buying DC and would be fired if they didn't do what he says, and their influence in the industry collapse in the 90's.

I'm glad it's over.

I just wish they could have been kicked further before they realized their mistake.
>>
>>89979079
Because "we want the Rebirth audience."
>>
The problem isn't legacies, it's that Iron Man, Spider-Man and all of that has gotten stale. Riri as Iron Man is still just Iron Man, just like how Miles was still just Spider-Man. Just take obscure characters and make them more focus to big time things. Iron Man and Cap fighting Hydra is stale. Spider-Man vs. his rogues has gotten stale. The X-Men has been so watered down that's it's a miracle it's still alive right now. Just come up with new stories that aren't the source of convoluted storytelling like the Inhumans are.

>They say they want to make retailers money, to keep the market healthy and blame DC Comics returnability for tying up retailers cashflow for low fourth quarter sales.

Yes but Shooter didn't interfere with cross-company books happening.

>>89979027
That's a story about Marvel refusing to work with DC, not DC refusing to work with Marvel.
>>
>>89979102
They also tried that and it failed spectacularly. Foolkiller was hands down the best thing to come out of Marvel NOW 2.0 and it was one of the lowest selling. The only thing that sold worse was Solo, another "bscure characters and make them more focus to big time things."

People don't WANT new characters or new ideas. They want the same old same old except with slight differences to keep up the appearance that things have changed.

Except with Rebirth they used the prior Superman who was married and then gave him a kid. And Batman's approximately the same as New 52.

the people bitching about peter being too old is a just a very small, very very vocal segment. Old married to MJ Peter use to have 5 monthly books that each sold better than anything young Peter ever did
>>
>>89979147
But that's going to lead to a crash. People are only excited for this stuff because of the possibility that it will be turned into a movie. That's the only reason people make hype anymore in stuff in comics, because of the possibility it will become a film.
>>
>>89979102
It doesn't help that Marvel is going over old stories. Who was hyped about another secret wars or another civil war?
>>
>>89979147
Except that's bullshit. The reason has more to do with Marvel not really getting a handle on their shit. You don't deemphasize the X-Men so you can push Inhumans no matter who has the rights. And if your main line is subpar no one's gonna care about the smaller titles. Ms Marvel did well at a time when Marvel wasn't so drastically changed as it is now.
>>
>>89979147
I wouldn't say giving Foolkiller, Solo and Mosaic titles at the same time was a good idea. Marvel still has characters like Ghost Rider, Shang Chi, Omega The Unknown, FF.

Sides, when they aren't putting out stale same old same old they completely miss the point of the characters like Dr. Strange without magic and with a giant axe instead, the new young Ghost Rider or snarky talky Man Thing.

Like the Blackest Night comics, these Flashpoint titles came with a promotional item (in this case, pins). I suppose it's a boon to stores who over-ordered these titles.

Mind you, the reason Marvel did this was less as a fuck you to DC and more because they wanted to do market research on how many extra unsellable issues a LCS was willing to buy to get bonus incentives. This would then of course lead to Marvel realising that that number is "a lot" and went deep down the incentive variant rabbit hole.

When was the last time Marvel had a good marketing idea for their comics?

Fuck off. Miles could actually decent when penned under certain writers. The reason we fucking hate him is because he has zero personality, broken powers, powers he never uses, and nothing to distinguish himself from Peter other than he's black and nowhere near as intelligent. Also his supporting cast are fucking terrible both in terms of writing and as people (Ganke can get fucked).

>As is the return to making X-Men prominent again
Continuing with the same line up of characters from the last year, continuing to use the much-despised O5, having the writers of your two biggest books be Cullen Bunn (much as I like him) and fucking Guggenheim, letting other books squander under Literally Who writers and Dennis Hopeless (most of which are obvious stealth minis like Foolkiller blatantly was) and having arguably the two biggest "name" guys (Robinson and Pak) writing C-list ancillary books that will get no attention.

It's completely pathetic that, in Marvel's mind, this is returning the X-Men to prominence.

Getting rid of the Ultimate Universe was a mistake. The big problem is that Miles needs to be taken away from Bendis and the Ultimate U should be a place for an established name or two and some rising star type writers. So make Ultimates the main book written by Ewing, let Hastings write Spider-Man, I'd have Bunn do Ultimate X-Men and then a Defenders book that's less street level, more "lesser" characters in odder situations maybe under someone like DeMatteis.

OK, but then that becomes a bigger problem regarding all Marvel books than just "t-they're not treating the X-men with the respect they deserve!" If the problem is Marvel as a whole, then obviously X-men would also be hurt by working within those constraints but it's not like that franchise is being singled out. You can't say it's a specific attack on the X-men franchise when the same complaints could be levied against every Marvel franchise.

>>89980384
It's more because it did happen suddenly and at the same time for way too many characters- and many develompents were just stupid or badly written.

But I don't read Silk. Why would I, after her introduction and appearances in ASM and Spider-verse utterly soured me on the character?

Rosenberg is on Secret Warriors, and he's shaping up to be one of Marvel's best new writers. Kingpin (the mini and the ongoing's first issue) has been great. The writer on Black Bolt is new so I have no idea how the writing will turn out, but it's got Christian Ward on art so the less dialogue the better as far as I'm concerned and there's no character better for "less dialogue" than Black Bolt.

The fact that none of the inhumans books actually have the word "inhuman" in the title combined with actually solid creative teams makes it seem like Marvel realised how horribly they bungled the inhumans franchise and are trying to salvage it by putting people that actually give a fuck on the books instead of the last minute Fraction replacement of Soule who just wanted to write about his OCs and Medusa or Ellis' "6 issues in a year and a half." I imagine they'll all do horribly in sales with Black Bolt obviously being a stealth mini, but they're actually sounding pretty good from what we know. Secret Warriors might suck because the team seems extremely editorially chosen and I'm not sure how good Rosenberg will be on a team book, but there's at least some optimism for the line.

X-men part of Ressurxion just seems like more of the same old shit, and frankly, until they bring back Cyclops and exonerate him of the fucking mutant Hitler rhetoric once and for all, it's hard for me to care even if the X-books are good. Far as I'm concerned, Scott is the main character of the franchise. He's been there since day one.

The point is that LCSs don't want digital undercutting physical because then they'll just buy digitally. Diamond actually had a policy of not selling any books that were cheaper digitally than physically which is partially what caused the price lock.

I never gave a fuck about Bobby and especially don't care about Bobby's gay adventures, Angel was only ever interesting when he became Archangel but I don't want to see yet another "Angel becomes Archangel" or vice-versa plot ever again, and I grew to dislike adult Jean and loathe Teen Jean.

it's not that they need archie to print the digests. it's that Archie has been printing digests for decades and has the built-in distribution network and pockets in big box stores, newsstands, and book stores.

What's unfortunate is that the space filled up by the O5 in X-Men Blue could have easily been filled by other mutants instead. Maybe it could have even been used to showcase some lesser-known mutants. A team book centered entirely on the O5 just feels like a waste.

Also why the lack of New Mutant members in ResurrXion? They'll be getting their own movie so I would think Marvel would do something to tie in.

They had years to make their legacy characters interesting. Miles has been around for almost 5 years, and everything interesting/significant that happened to him was lost with the Ultimate verse.

They have no one to blame but themselves. Both Marvel and their dumbass readers.

as someone who gave up comics in my late teens and then returned to them in my mid/late-20's, i will never understand the constant need to reboot. is this a sales driven thing? are sales that bad? can these sales be bad due to the constant shuffling, reshuffling, and then rebooting of stock characters? it's almost as if storytelling is secondary to the product/comic.

I was always stunned that SJWs couldn't see through this shit. They should have felt insulted. Instead of adding diverse characters that ride on their own merits they just swap out an already popular character. That clearly says "we want the SJW bux but don't actually have any faith a minority character can carry a book."

Everybody loves Luke Cage. Imagine if instead of his long history he just appeared one day, Hawkeye died, and then he was Hawkeye. That's exactly what they've done with all these half baked diversity swaps.

I am 100% for more diversity in comics but the teams behind these books need to actually DO THEIR JOBS and come up with new diverse characters while pushing already existing ones on their own merits. How anyone at Marvel approved shit like that Whor/Absorbing Man panel absolutely blows my mind.

Speaking as someone who's fairly young, only got into comics a year ago and grew up watching the first 3 X Men movies/Wolverine movies;

And whats worse is they don't push the characters who take a name that actually work. like Robbie Reyes as Ghost Rider works cause there are literally.. fucking thousands of ghost riders. And Robbie gets shit on all the time in his books rather than put on a fuckin pedestal.. i just don't get it. Also Sam for the Nova books, he makes sense cause he's a NOVA, its not like iron man or spiderman where there are known fleets of the fuckers... And Sam gets shit on as much as Parker used to. Only two characters that came out of this with me liking the changes or atleast the people under the masks.

I think that's a problem that will bite Marvel in the ass. Marvel's constant erasing of continuity (mainly before the first Civil War) is going to lead to more repetition, while depending on the films to carry them is going to run out. Marvel is burning out the candle at both ends and is going through content faster than they can create. Want to know what's telling? We don't have an Ant-Man book anymore. And all the other MCU spinoff characters have been rebooted how many times now?

They're not ready to take Slott off of ASM, but they're launching a new Spider-man book written by Chup Zdorskie that is being marketed as a new flagship Spider-man book. If it doesn't sell as well as Slott's Amazing Spider-man though then all hope is lost for no more Slott.

Seems like Marvel is half-assing this. I don't see anything in OP's article about them knocking it off with the endless relaunches and events. In fact, it looks like their solution is another fucking event.

That's attacking the wrong problem. If all the legacy heroes had been absent from Civil War II it wouldn't have been any less of a trash heap. They just would have had the original Captain Marvel acting ridiculously out of character instead of Carol.

Until Marvel cools it with the events and relaunches it's not going to matter who's wearing the Iron Man armor or whatever, people aren't going to want to read them.

It doesn't even make sense as a means of copying DC. DC was able to do Rebirth without getting rid of its diverse legacy characters; Kid Flash is still black, the Green Lanterns are still a Latina and a Muslim. They even introduced more of them; they made the Ray gay and his title was a top seller that week. Whoever thought we'd be saying "The Ray outsold every Marvel book this week?" DC has been able to dominate AND have legacies, so they're clearly not the problem.

What brought people back was that DC went back to basics, put books out on time, and stopped doing lots of events. All of which Marvel seems to be unwilling to do.

I'd agree if it wasn't for the blatant anti-white shit. I don't mind more coloured heroes but we aren't seeing Luke Cage getting replaced or Black Panther being made white or some shit. We are seeing iconic characters being made non-white/male purely becuz.

>Sam

Noone EVER gave a fuck about Sam. He was a token once an event guy like Goliath. His only interesting side is that he's Captain America. The only decent Cap replacement was Bucky who ironically again was the replacement for Cap.

>Cho

Cho is interesting because it's a more literal interpretation of a Hulk that has problems with control. Banner was at the point where he had no more potential to mine. They were literally having to make him bullshit his way through stories. Cho is just a return to the 90s with Banner brain in Hulks body.

I really hope they get rid of all the new minorities, they were terrible. I can't think of a single one who stuck in mind except Kamala, and she's losing her appeal.

The real problem is that Marvel is scared to commit to anything, so it gives the impression that none of their stories matter.

Every new #1 is meaningless, because there's just going to be another one in four months. Every event is meaningless, because a new one starts the second it ends. And now, even the stories themselves are meaningless, because Marvel's going to revert everything back to status quo and make THAT an event, too.

Marvel's real problem is that it can't commit to jack shit, and this is just more of the same.

Their aim isn't to maintain any superiority, friend. Give an inch, and they've clawed out a mile. And their idiotic ideas and have lead our society to a place where even the bulwark isn't enough to keep it in check.

If I don't support feminism, why should I buy that book? If I can't have the material I want to read, I won't buy their comics.

If I want to read about Steve Rogers, Captain America, and instead I get Sam Wilson, I'm spending my money elsewhere. It's like the Hawkeye comic, which spent whole issues on Kate Bishop. Obviously, since I'm here for Clint, I'm not going to buy stuff which features her.

Don't forget Yang's New Superman, which is not only an entirely "diverse" cast (yes, they're all the same race, but if you can have the full cast of Black Panther be black and also "diverse," then so is this), it's doing amazing things with both the nature of Superman's powers and the very origin of comics.

I think is has a lot to do with Marvel being absolutely terrified about actually doing Legacy heroes, because DC's been doing them for decades. Like, the book where all the original Teen Titans joined back up as adults could have been called Justice League Lite, because nearly all of them had grown up to be the actual or metaphorical replacements of their mentors. Fuck, the whole of DC's Silver and Bronze Age was predicated on legacy characters.

Meanwhile, Marvel's too chickenshit to have Peter Parker age past 19 and everyone's first appearance was 5 years ago. DC fucked their canon up with Flashpoint and have been trying to fix it ever since, because it serves a nearly 80 year old science-fantasy setting to have legitimate continuity.

alternate universe crossovers, probably

the idea of alternate universes not a bad one. it lets writers tell stories that they want to tell without caring about how well it fits into the general marvel universe schema. this is partly why ultimate was doing ok before it ultimately shit the bed (ironically what killed it is a 616 style cross title event that fucked characters and stories to oblivion, which is precisely one of the things ultimate was created to avoid).
>>
>>89979845
is it really tickling nostalgia when the creators don't seem to understand why readers like these characters?

maybe marvel is starting to get better at this but as an example, the whole death of wolverine thing pretty much killed any interest or trust in marvel. the fact that he is encased in a prostrate pose just shows that they do not understand this character.

wolverine is a proud cunt. he's flawed but he perseveres. this is a core concept of the guy, from before he could heal from a single atom of flesh or whatever. if he loses his powers, he should still be an awesome threat due to his skill, tactics and dedication. if he is going to die encased in adamantium, i would have wanted his last action to be to stand up and take a proud pose before the adamantium solidifies, so that even the image of his corpse will be haunting to the imagination. now that's a perfectly logan thing to do.

i look at some of the stuff that marvel puts out an i don't understand how they can get it so wrong. some creators don't seem to give a flying shit.

honestly it would have been a lot funnier if the artist hadn't carried the joke too far with the final panel.

somehow i feel that if titania had a more normal / silly expression while being punched in the face, instead of this faux noble, long suffernig expression, i feel like that would have carried the joke better by revealing that the writers know and the universe knows that she is indeed acting like a joke and is being treated like a joke. what happened instead is that she wore this controlled, reserved expression, as if to say 'yes, i will let you punch me in the face and carry me to jail because my loss is a victory for feminism', which is fucking stupid and needs to be called out for being fucking stupid.

furthermore, it's not fun to look at. reserved, controlled characters are not fun to look at except in anticipation of the release of their reserved motives and energy. people read comics to see awesome characters acting out and taking things to logical conclusions.

>He's very, very writer-sensitive.

i wonder if that's because his character is a bit hard to define. as an asian person born and raised in the west, i kind of can relate to him. he seems to be a proud cunt who fucks up royally when trying to fit in. maybe that's not enough and too vague for non asian writers... idunno, i'm not following marvel close enough to know what's wrong with his depiction in champions.

i think what can help marvel writers is a bit of cross pollination. the old marvel method used to be to force artists and writers to mash their visions together, which would often create something far more interesting and fresh than what either person had to begin with. maybe instead of treating these characters as pet projects for certain writers, force them to work with other proven talent to come up with a hero / story that everyone involved can feel proud / interested in working on.

> make mine marvel
i think the problem here is that you used to imagine 'cool uncle' stan saying 'make mine marvel', and imagine the interesting stories this interested storyteller would tell.

now, since marvel is so shit / uneven, you can't picture a single storyteller or editorial voice, so 'mine' now refers to the reader, and now instead of picturing stan, you picture the average marvel reader.

i dunno. maybe i'm reading too much into this but without a competent editorial focus, i can't see this phrase working.
>>
>>89997786 cont.
make my what? entertainment? i'm not a 'team' guy. not everything marvel makes is gold, and it wasn't even when stan was in charge. if you're interested in the medium at all, you're gonna sample stuff from other companies.

'make mine marvel.'' ok, so what is marvel? it definitely had it's own feel back in the day. it has it's own feel now too but damn that feel is inconsistent as hell.

I can't really get into DC Rebirth when I've only read a few BatBooks and don't want to do extensive research to catch up to speed on DC's current character atmosphere, and with Marvel the only run i'm interested in is Bullseye's new series after they fucked up even Daredevil for me.

Deciding to stop crying about Mary-Jane cucking him isn't character development. There were literally no stories of him growing as a character until fucking Superior Spider-Man. And even then, that was being SpOck left him in a better place than Peter ever could.

That what a lot of people used to say...then DC did New 52...AKA "everything is new, here, origins and/or N°1 for everyone". A lot of people went batshit with the new takes, other just simply did not care about it.

That's what I'm saying. The only thing of note Pre-Superior Spider-Man and Post-OMD was Peter getting over being cucked by Mary-Jane.

That's It. Literally name me a storyline between those two points that has actual fucking character development for Pete.
>>
>>89999771
Reread my original post, my argument was that he hasn't gotten any character development since OMD. And no, current CEO Peter isn't his character progressing, it's the opposite. Peter regressed as a character since he acts more irresponsibly due to his fame. Which, might I add, he didn't even earn.

FWIW I totally agree with you RE: miles. The problem is Bendis.

What made Peter great wasn't that Stan wrote him exclusively for 30 years, but that other people came in and added stuff to the mythos. Spidey would be nothing without Gerry Conway, David Michielline, or hell, even Howard Mackie.

To really give Miles a chance (and the rest of the new kids for that matter) Marvel needs to start putting different creators on them and just start telling weirdo stories with them.

Shooter wasn't around when the crossovers happened again, remember? He left in 1987.

The first JLA/Avengers Crossover was supposed to happened in the 80's with Len Wein writing it and George Perez drawing it. Intercompany politics and such ended up putting the kibosh on the project and drove George Perez to leave Marvel for DC.

>>89976233

If they're reversing the "Diversity Push" changes I honestly don't think that's going to help anything and in fact will make everything worse. The main problem is it's been badly handled - opening up potential new stories with new takes on characters is generally a net positive but they haven't really been putting their best writers, or scouting actual "diverse" talent.

If anything Marvel really needs to do more to reach out to a diverse audience. People who think that lingering sales have to do with pandering to SJWs have incredibly short memories as it's been that way for some time. Alienating long time fans probably isn't the best idea, but at the same time a lot of long time fans are brunt out on the same "classic" characters being spotlighted again and again, which was often a forced push in of itself versus. the X-verse. People didn't care as much about Iron Man until the movie.

People also need to stop acting like "Diverse" readers are somehow new and antithetical to good comics, and also understand one of the big factors behind the "diversity push" in the first place - the marginalisation of the X-books, who attracted a traditionally wide audience. The X-Verse was also one of the few places where you could successfully launch a truly "new" character.

Look at the casts of The New Mutants, Generation X - both successful comics, and dominated by a diverse cast(Generation X even gave us Marvel's first Muslim superheroine that I'm aware of). Marvel wanted to marginalised the mutants, and has done since the early 2000s, but didn't want to lose this audience or the prospect of making further gains there.

Wanking off the classic Avengers characters is going to hurt them in the long run. They had the right idea with Marvel NOW/diversity push to an extent, it was just executed poorly outside of some exceptions.I don't want another shitty crossover about Iron Man and the Inhumans having a disagreement about which way Lockjaw should wear pants.

Yes, I hated that so much, even if Silk turned her into a somewhat interesting villain.

I actually like the several Spider books things, it makes sense and it's not the first time they've done it. Feels more like Batfamily.
>>
>>90000944

Because they're right, on the front that new characters don't tend to work in general, outside of books with solid team concepts like the X-verse.

Also important to remember there were reasons why we didn't see as much diversity in comics "back in the day", particularly the comics code with regards LGBT characters. There was a definite and real push to keep comics centred on straight white dudes but nobody seems to have a problem with that. This is why I hate when people complain about "turning" a character gay, when for example a lot of X characters were intended to be Bi or otherwise under Claremont but he wasn't allowed.
>>

I agree that the problem they've got isn't about diversity. It's more to do with how they come off like they're forcing something into popularity, and that's a move that rarely works.

It's not just that but, the first 38 issues by Lee and Ditko covered a LOT of ground. It set up how Peter grows from boy to man, went from high school to college, set up supporting cast, set up most of the memorable villains.

I can't remember what happened in the first 38 issues of Miles' book. I remember his uncle, his parents, and Ganke, and Miles meeting Jessica, but I can't remember anything else right now.

I want Cullen Bunn on a team book that isn't X-Men or Inhuman related and isn't Mercs For Money. Why? Honestly mostly because I want Mania to actually stick around and be in more things instead of being ignored and forgotten again so Bunn putting her on a team book (since him and Robbie Thompsom seem to be the only writers who actually give a damn about her at Marvel) could help in that regard. My first choice would be Avengers. It's a core book and The Avengers are obviously one of the most prominent teams in the Marvel universe so her being a member would help give her a more constant presence and make her more significant in the MU as well as increasing her popularity. My second choice would be either Uncanny Avengers or New Warriors. UA, while not THE Avengers book, is still an Avengers book so still a pretty big deal and good for Mania. New Warriors is a team filled with teens like herself so she would fit very well. Also if Hummingbird is part of the team like last time then I would love to see her and Mania meet and become friends. I feel they would go great together because of the contrast between the two.

>Bendis' pacing is certainly one of the problems

A million times this.

When he started, it was a fun novelty, but now it's just bad writing.

Also not every villain needs a six issue arc to be introduced. Maybe toss some half baked ideas in there as villains so then later writers can evolve them.

miles does have a character. he's a geek, which unfortunately is what casuals think of when they think of nerds.

peter parker is a nerd. self centered, obsessed with personal pursuits and interests, to the point that he can be successful at those pursuits but the rest of his life suffers. parker is a successful lone wolf, which makes him enticing to females who want him and to males who want to emulate him or strike him down.

It's decent. Jane Thor is still just there. I don't see how these stories couldn't have been told with og Thor but whatever.

i think that marvel writers need to be more brave with miles and give him some kind of character, even if it might offend some people.

the name kid arachnid is a clue that someone has some clever ideas. miles is already kind of 'awkward funny' and i can actually imagine him liking the name 'kid arachnid' and liking that it inspires images of classic 70s cool.
