With the free digital copy, will it still be occurring after the Marvel NOW. I am going to be cutting back on comic books, but if I get a digitial copy I will be less likely to cut back and wondering about the numbers and how much of a success it has been.
Hey Axel, where will Luke Cage, Iron Fist and the rest of the street heroes that currently populate New Avengers land after AVX? maybe the return of Power Man and Iron Fist comic? or A Street Level Team Book? Also when will we get more Creative teams announced for the re launched books?
Hey Axel given that the X-Men and Avengers are now merging might we see mutants like Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver over on X-titles like X-Factor? By the way I was wondering what you thought of X-Factor as a title?
Hello,
What is up with Ultimate Comics The Ultimates having multiple artists on each issue it seems now. Issue 11 had (Ross, Guice, Kirk and Zircher), Issue 12 had (Ross, Garney and Guice) and now issue 14 is going to have (Tan and Green II), is it to much to want a single artist on an issue anymore?
Hi Axel I was wondering if the original x-men coming to the present be getting new team costumes or new individual costumes? Thanks.
Hi Axel,
1) During the AvX panel at Kapow 2012 you said that Cable would be showing up in Act Two of AvX. Act Two should be wrapping up within the next issue or two, so how big of a role does Cable play in the final issues of AvX?
2) With 'New Mutants' ending in October, will the characters be pushed to being auxiliary background characters, or should we expect an announcement on their future soon?
3) How big of a role do Hope and the Lights play after AvX?
4) I loved the end of AvX with Xavier confronting Cyclops. That was a moment that made Xavier seem like a badass while also reminding me how powerful he actually is, as he's been out of the spotlight for so long. Will we see Xavier more throughout the rest of AvX and post-AvX?
Thanks!!
Hey Axel,
What led to the decision to rename Hulk rather than cancel it and launch Red She-Hulk at #1 as a part of the Marvel NOW! initiative?
With AvX in full swing, and Teen Jean Grey returning in the near present I'm wondering without you giving too much away will there be any info on Jean Grey as the White Phoenix. Or will anyone mainly Rachel Summers or the Cuckoos mention the Phoenix Force fragments that have been collecting itself seen in Phoenix Endsong, Uncanny X-men, and War of Kings for awhile now.
Lastly Jean Grey in New Xmen told Wolverine the exact function of the Phoenix Force so I'm wondering why he whose had more interaction with it than almost anyone has decided to fall on the side of the Avengers.
Hi all.
With Gambit's new series coming out very soon, will he be joining any major X books going forward?
Hi Axel-
I don't read FF, but I do know there have been some developments in those pages regarding the story of the Inhumans. In the AvX conflict we see the Kree Supreme Intelligence and Gladiator acting, seemingly, on their own with agendas. Just how strong is the Inhuman's hold over their galactic empire, and do they even have an opinion one way or the other on how both Kree and Shi'ar are affecting or interfering with Earth's heroes?
Second question and more of a request really... can we see the Eternals again soon? I loved Neil Gaiman's limited series and the short-lived regular series that followed. Sersi in particular is a favorite.
Hey Axel,
Know you probably can't reveal if the Luke Cage/Jessica Jones marriage will remain intact post-AvX once Bendis leaves the Avengers, but can you at least reassure all the Squirrel Girl fans out there that Doreen Green will still be the nanny for little Dani Cage?
Axel:
When can we expect to find out more about Uncanny X-Force's future after AvX and Final Execution?
Thanks,
Dear Axel,
We Fantastic Four faithful are a patient lot. We've watched and waited as Marvel made announcements, one after another, about the teams coming out of Marvel NOW!. The FF has had no such announcement as if this writing.
Now patience is a virtue, but I really want to ask, when are you going to make an official announcement for Marvel's First Family?
Hello sir,
Looking forward to Marvel NOW!, was curious if we may see some more horror themed books in the new titles? There are a lot of great horror characters either sitting in limbo or not doing much like Ghost Rider, Morbius, Blade, Vengeance, Werewolf-by-Night, Doctor Voodoo, Doctor Strange, etc. I love superheroes, but would like to see more serious horror in the style of "the Walking Dead" or "30 Days of Night". Have enjoyed the Marvel Zombies series and the X-Men/vampire storylines in the recent past. Maybe instead of multiple titles you could do a horror anthology series like "Strange Tales" with one of the characters narrating in the old EC style and starring various Marvel spooky-types?
Hello Axel,
Any news on Kitty Pryde in Marvel NOW? In November of 2011 you said she was going to have a great upcoming year, but she hasn't made a lot of appearances yet this year and has been completely absent from the main AvX event. I'm of course well familiar with the lovely Ultimate variant of her, but I'd also like to see her get some love in the main Marvel Universe.
Hello Axel,
It was said in a interview there would be a new Marvel Now comic every week, though in October there are only 2 NOW titles (Uncanny Avengers and A+X, three if you count the Point One.) Will there be one every week starting in November?

Related to this, will the "FF" title continue once Hickman leaves? Or will it be back to just the F4 book?
Why is it that Red She-Hulk is not being published as a Marvel NOW #1 but instead continuing with the numbering even though the book is direction with a completely different character?
Secondly, why not hold back Captain Marvel, Gambit and Hawkeye so that they could get the added boost of Marvel NOW marketing?
Any plans for Blue Marvel, Blade or Black Panther in Marvel NOW?
Now, (no pun intended) seems like a good time to launch a minority led title.
With the end of the [B]much[/B]-beloved Journey Into Mystery in sight, will any of the incoming NOW! titles have a more cerebral mystic / dark focus to fill what would appear to be a gap in Marvel's line-up? Perhaps a Daimon Hellstrom / Ilyana Rasputin anti-hero dual-lead title...?
I'm a huge Ant Man fan and I'm pretty ecstatic he is getting some love int the Marvel Now! stories going forward. With the new movie hopefully coming out in a couple years I hope to see Hank Pym back to being Ant Man again. It was his original persona and I think he needs to go back to that for good. Can you give us Ant Man fans any info on who is under the Ant Man helmet? Any chance of the Wasp showing back up? Reunite Hank and Jan as Ant Man and Wasp
Dear Axel
Will there be more X-Books other than "All New X-Men" and "X-Factor" in Marvel Now? Are you allowed to tell us how many or which ones?
Dear Axel,
When you relaunch the Incredible Hulk, Mighty Thor, and Invincible Iron Man books, will they keep their adjectives or just move to the character's name, like 'Hulk', 'Thor', and 'Iron Man'?
Hey Axel,
Will the Marvel NOW! initiative give us any solo titles not currently ongoing?
As a big Hercules fan, I would like to know are there any plans for Hercules in Marvel NOW? With all the new development stemming from AvX, this would be a great time to reposition Hercules to a new level of prominence in the new Marvel Universe. Will he be a part of one of the Avengers teams, are there plans for a him in any new series being developed?
What's up with Cable and the eye-patch? I can guess he could have gotten his hand on some robotic armor for his arm but the eye-patch is strange. Please dont answer by saying, "Keep reading to find out!" Because i want an exciting reason to follow the guy.
And when are you going to bring Bishop back? Now that other characters have tried to kill, control, and capture Hope, basically all the stuff he wanted to do but was apparently evil at that time and now it's not, everyone should be fine with him. He should pop in and say, "I told you!" And everyone should apologize.
One last thing, can you create a book called Uncanny Nature Avengers that deals crimes against nature committed by evil super groups like Roxxon, AIM, and the like? They steal natural resources, exploit super animals and stuff like that. The team is Rocket Raccoon, Anole, Rockslide, Groot, Litterbug, and Tigra. Now that the Guardians of the Galaxy are going to be all famous you have to push Rocket and all the other Guardians alone then build them up for a reunion close to the movie release.
Hey Axel, I just saw this "The Future of Marvel NOW! is Worthy" teaser which hints strongly at Thor. Will there be a "Fantastic" to follow?
Axel, are there any plans for everybody's favorite Soviet Space Dog, Cosmo? Not only is he insanely original, but he's hilarious too. As Cosmo once said, "Cosmo be havink too much in his bowl", so if he doesn't play into the Cosmic future of the Marvel Universe, then you guys will have made him a liar!
Dear Axel,
As a huge Spider-Woman fan, I would like to know are there any plans for Spider-Woman in Marvel Now? seems that female characters how Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Red She hulk, Jean grey will have a prominence role in Marvel Now, Will Have Spider-Woman a prominence role in Marvel Now too?.
Thanks.
I see Blade and Ghost Rider on the cover of Wolverine and the X-men. Does this mean their are plans for those two characters moving forward?
If not, are there plans for the larger horror corner, Vampire Nation, The Forgiven, or The Legion of Monsters, for example?
Axel:
I'm excited for some of the Marvel Now titles, including some new ones I will be getting on board with. My question is this: how do I know this won't lead to another renumbering/relaunch in two years? As a buyer, what insurance do I have that another event won't have me starting all over again?
What up, Axel.
Question1: The distinguished competition over there has had a lot of success lately with their 'Dark' line, critically, and even in sales. Are there any plans for the Marvel universe to have it's own counterpart, ie. a book, or group of books with a fantasy/horror vibe? With the conclusion of JiM underway, such a movement would certainly be much appreciated.
Question2: As a customer, pricing affects a lot of my purchasing decisions, and lately, has led to me missing several Marvel books I would have otherwise bought monthly. When DC relaunched, they made a strong push for the 2.99 price point. Do the benefits of Marvel Now! include a change in pricing strategies?
In 3 words or less, can you give us any clues as to the NOW! status of the following characters:
Wonder Man
Mockingbird
Dr. Strange
Colossus
Hello Axel, two quick questions, one why is Red She-Hulk not starting with a brand new "Number 1" but continuing the old numbering of the previous 'Hulk' series given it is beginning just around the same time as Marvel Now kicks off? Second, are there going to be any other books that have this done to it as well?
You don't have to announce the book titles, just something I want to know.

I second this question. For a guy from the future who can obviously replace a limb with a bionic one it seems a strange choice. I mean, he ought to be able to replace his right eye with a bionic optical implant as well. And with both Nick and Marcus Fury running around sporting them having another character with an eyepatch seems like overkill. So was this just a simple design choice (i.e., someone thinking it looks cool) or is there a deeper reason for it?
Mr Alonso. Will Storm get a spotlight in AvX: Consequences? If so, can the issue be X-Women 2 with party and celebration?
Hi Axel. Can you tell us what plans there are for Doctor Strange and Moon Knight in Marvel NOW?
Hello Axel
A lot of readers are very sensitive about the $3.99 price point. Can you give us an idea of how many of the Marvel NOW! books will be $3.99 and how many, if any, will be $2.99?
Hi Axel
Black Panther is one of my top two favorite characters(Tony Stark is the other) and I'm curious about a few things. In the past few years, we've seen him attacked and nearly killed by Doom. We've seen his country stripped of vibranium. We've seen his homeland of Wakanda buried under a tidal wave by Namor. But what we haven't seen is the Panther get any measure of revenge. How long is Black Panther going to turn the other cheek? And now on top of that, his marriage to Storm has ended. It seems that it's been a downward spiral of events for him the last few years. The only bright spot is the work Johnathan Hickman did in the FF two-parter. Are there any plans for Black Panther to get revenge against both Namor and Doom for their actions?
We heard that almost all of the Avengers books will get a relaunch. So, what will happen with Avengers Academy and Dark Avengers? They will get a relaunch, or at least a new direction in Marvel Now!? Also, speaking about Dark Avengers, any plans for Songbird?
