Matt D Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'm really excited about a few things coming out of NYCC. First and foremost is Yost's New Warriors which is the best sounding New Warriors launch since the 90s. PAD relaunching X-Factor with Quicksilver and Gambit should be a lot of fun. Avengers Undercover actually sounds great as Hopeless did a really good job with the characters and this will be a far less exploitative book. Plus lots of fleshing out of villains and lots of Zemo. Slott/Allred Silver Surfer is going to be a sick amount of fun. It LOOKS like we'll be getting Robinson/Kirk on Fantastic Four. I've been enjoying both X-Force books so a crossover should be worth reading. I don't really care about Iron Patriot/Ghost Rider/Elektra or Miracleman for that matter, but still a lot of stuff to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'm not actually too excited for any of the new books announced. I'm a bit interested in Captain Marvel since I like Carol and the cosmic area of Marvel, but having reading the first volume of KSD's run I'm little worried as I think she writes a great Carol, but seems to be weak in actual plotting. Interested a little in New Warriors as well though I'm little worried whether or not Yost actually will remember the growth and maturing Justice and Speedball have gone through. Would have read a Punisher book about Rachel Cole-Alves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'm surprised that no one has done an all-ages Captain Marvel book starring a tween niece/neighbor that fantasizes about being her sidekick. Call it CAPTAIN MARVEL JR. or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Why would you be worried about Yost? I think he's an incredibly consistent and aware writer. In fact, of all the New Warriors writers since Fabian left at v1 50 in the 90s, I think he's leaps and bounds the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 This was very early Faerber. He got better later on but his New Warriors was terrible. It was bad enough that they went away from the classic format for the book for the next two runs and are only finally giving it another go now.

Cliff Hanger Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The thing is, I remember buying every issue of that series, but I have no memory of anything that happened except that it was launched along with the Erik Larsen(?) Nova series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The main things I remembered was it promoting the new Iron Fist mini series and a crossover with Iron Man during the sentient armor story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Seriously, who even needs DC anymore at this point? Marvel is having a great run right now. Interested a little in New Warriors as well though I'm little worried whether or not Yost actually will remember the growth and maturing Justice and Speedball have gone through. He can sweep the whole Penance thing under the rug for all I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MushroomJones Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Man, I miss Faerber on Noble Causes and Superboy. Most of his other stuff I could take or leave. Really dug Dynamo 5 as well. He's said in the past both Dynamo 5 & Noble Causes are done for good, the sales weren't up to snuff, sadly. He did. He's such a crap writer. Zeb Wells is an anomaly to me. I loved his arc in Amazing Spider-Man (Shed) maybe the best Lizard story ever but nothing else he has written comes close to that, but nothing is in the 'crap' category, IMO.

Victator Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I heard Marvel intends to let Neil Gaiman finish Miracle/Marvel Man. I think I would like the final panel have the Fury appear on that Earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin877 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I have sporadic issues of Miracle Man in my collection. I am looking most forward to the collected editions of Moore's work and of course the "lost" issues as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MushroomJones Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 From the January solicitations: - Fearless Defenders seems to have been cancelled. Not surprising as the numbers were terrible but a very fun book - No Hawkeye in January, but I don't think it's cancelled. I hope it's not cancelled - Miracleman is shipping twice a month and Alan Moore is being credited as 'the original writer' EDIT:Bleeding Cool also seems to think the solicit text for Wolverine MAX, X-Men Legacy and Young Avengers is telegraphing cancellation as well.

odessasteps Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 This week's Fearless Defender was so muddled i just stopped flipping though it. Hawkeye this week was great. BOTA will need a scorecard after the series is over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Anything worthwhile from Marvel UK? I was curious with Revolutionary War coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hate to see YA winding down, but I've heard that the writer said that he only planned on a 15 issue run to tell his story. If the book continues I'll pick up the next few issues, but I'm afraid it won't be the must-read for me that it's been. As far as NYCC, looking forward to the new X-Factor. I'm curious about the Miracleman reprints (I've never read any MM stuff but I've heard really good things). I may give Loki a flip through on the stand before I make up my mind about it.

Dog Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Legacy is definitely done; the question is whether it gets relaunched with a new POV character or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Read Captain Marvel: Down. I dug the first story focusing on Carol relationship with Monica. The dynamic between the characters was fun and plot while kind of throw away wasn't too bad either. Dexter's Soy art was probably the best it had been up to that point within the series as well. The second story focusing on Carol having some kind of lesion on her brain was interesting. First, fuck everyone who hated Soy's art because there is no way in hell the artist who replaced him wasn't a punishment. Filipe Andrade's art was just terrible. It was far too stylistic and belonged nowhere near a superhero book. Shitty art aside the actual story for the second arc wasn't too bad. It wasn't a direction I liked seeing DeConnick go in, but it was generally well written with a good balance between Carol's stubbornness of facing her reality, her various friends trying to help her, and various superhero moments to test Carol's patience. I will say that one the decent sized fault of this whole plot though is the idea that Carol with her strange Kree/Human hybrid physiology would be seeing a normal doctor and not someone like Reed Richards, Donald Blake, or Dr. Strange. I understand wanting to give Carol a somewhat normal life, but it just makes her look like a dumbass. Complaints aside this was a solid read. I continue to love Deconnick's general characterization of Carol and her growing cast though actual plotting continue to be an area Deconnick shows weakness in. Its not even so much her writing of said plots out which is usually well done. It is her writing truly interesting plots that really draw you in that she seems to have trouble with. Hopefully her taking Carol out into the galaxy will lend to some more interesting stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
