I seem to be a little more cautious than you are, mostly because of the train wreck that is the New 52.<br /><br />Mostly because the New 52 sells better than the old DC. Meaning they were right. Meaning that what sells is what I consider bad comics.<br /><br />Will Marvel do the same?<br /><br />Well, as you mentioned, Jonathan Hickman seems to be leading the charge and I have really, REALLY disliked what he has done with the Avengers.<br /><br />(The Avengers are pretty important to me. It was the first book I ever collected and I have the full run... back to 1963.)<br /><br />But people like it. Maybe, just maybe, what this is telling me is that mainstream superhero comics are just no longer for me. After 30 years of reading them, that would kind of make me sad.Rusty Priskenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526999.post-5757116420182853712015-01-30T14:29:28.660-05:002015-01-30T14:29:28.660-05:00Hardly a new concept.

Far from being an example of Marvel originality, it's just part of the endless shell-game both companies must play to hold readers' interest. A reboot by any other name would smell as rebooty.Mentokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011803235817936664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526999.post-80833250807662588712015-01-30T11:55:06.759-05:002015-01-30T11:55:06.759-05:00Make Mine Marvel - or, er, the newly reorganized M...Make Mine Marvel - or, er, the newly reorganized Marvel Universe.
