Which of these female solo books will impact the MU the most?

[TimmyTony]

In terms of sales, possible longevity and "presence" in the Marvel Universe?
Which one do you intend to buy or keep buying it in the foreseeable future?
Which one do you see lasting for years and years to come?
And if any of these titles changed creative teams, any suggestions for replacements?

Ms. Marvel by Brian Reed and Roberto De La Torre

Spider-Woman by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev

She-Hulk by Dan Slott and Rick Burchett

[Cayman]

Spider-Woman would seem to have the best shot, although Ms. Marvel seems to be pretty stable happily.

If the creative teams were to shift, I'd go with:

She-Hulk - Jeff Parker and Aaron Lopresti. Seems like Parker would be the most obvious choice to carry on the spirit of Slott's work.

Spider-Woman - Brian K. Vaughan and Oliver Coipel

Ms. Marvel - Brian Michael Bendis and Frank Cho

[stuccoyoutuBE]

Of the three choices, Spider-Woman is the only one with an A-list creative team, which will probably mean more industry and fan attention and more advertising dollars, which might result in better long-term sales.

Ms.Marvel seems to be doing well too, and the fact that it sorta spun off of New Avengers and Bendis gave it his blessing could mean longevity for the title.


If at any point there were changes in the creative teams, I wouldn't mind seeing these:

She-Hulk by Zeb Wells and Skottie Young

Spider-Woman by Ed Brubaker and Steve McNiven

Ms.Marvel by Geoff Johns and Frank Cho

[Haunt]

well it definately won't be White Tiger.

[SalazarSleaze2]

Spider-Woman definitely.

[Omega Alpha]

Bendis will make Spider-Woman the most sucessful.

[Mariah]

Out of the three, based on She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel and Spider-Woman:Origin, I like Ms. Marvel the most. The art could be better, but it's okay. Spider-Woman was migraine inducing. Poor She-Hulk, I love the book.

[ChildOfTheDarkholde]

Spider-Woman will last longer, in my opinion - based on the creative team's industry status and the character's exposure as of late. The Spider-Woman Secrets And Lies issues of NA sold better than the previous month, reverting a downward trend and Spider-Woman's issue of the New Avengers: Disassembled arc actually outsold Luke Cage's, Sentry's and even Captain America's entries. And Origin sold very well for a solo book retcon starring a third-stringer, set in the past and featuring art that most everyone seemed to hate.


As for different teams:

She-hulk- Bendis and Adam Hughes

Spider-Woman- Marc Andreyko and Scott Eaton

Ms.Marvel- Gail Simone and Amanda Conner

[Kaskratiski]

Ms.Marvel, I think.

She is connected to most everyone in the MU...

[Hippy-san]

okay, in terms of sales she-hulk might not bring in any top slot (and yes, pun intended), but i see She-hulk sticking around just because i'm hopin' she'll grow on the fans
and if we're just talkin' about ramifications (and i know that wasn't the point of the thread, but who cares) ol' Shulkie's gonna be playing a big role soon. ;)

I like all 3 and I hope that they stay around. As far as any series effecting the rest of the Marvel Universe it will be Spider-Woman. Her book is about espionage, and that will play into Avengers and other titles. As well as all the characters slated to show up, Ronin, Viper, Elektra, Black Widow, Nick Fury, and others.

[Eumenide No 2]

Ms.Marvel is firmly entrenched in the MU cuz of her history and Spider-Woman will inevitably have an impact not only cuz it will have the best sales of the three but because it's written by the company's # 1 writer, which means that the events taking place in that book have a bigger chance of getting Marvel to consider them and push them as part of the big tapestry.

She-hulk is a funny book, but in spite of the painstakingly detailed nods to continuity, and several cross-book references I have noticed, it still feels like a book that's in its own little bubble, separate from the rest of the MU.
And maybe being too funny is what make it sell so poorly.
Look at Nextwave, Cable/Deadpool and other comic comic books...it's always an uphill battle to get them to succeed.

Yeah this pretty much sums it up nicely.

[XPac]

As far as sales go, Bendis writing Spider-Woman should give her a HUGE edge. He's the "it" guy in marvel right now.

But as far as presence goes... SHe-Hulk and Ms. Marvel are actually showing up all over the place. Spiderwoman... not so much.

So even though I think from a sales perspective Jessica might have the edge, I wouldn't necessarily be quick to give her the title of Marvels first lady. But we'll have to wait and see. Maybe she'll be used more once her on going is out.

[Magnificent Bastard]

Bendis & Maleev's Spider-Woman is destined for greatness.

I intend to read SW & Ms Marvel. However, She-Hulk is also a possibility "IF" the gonzo-like quality is there.

Which one do you see lasting for years and years to come? Spider-Woman

And if any of these titles changed creative teams, any suggestions for replacements?

Ms. Marvel by writers Keith Giffen/ J. M. DeMatteis and Frank Cho

Spider-Woman by Brian Michael Bendis and Adam Hughes

She-Hulk by Ennis and Mike Allred
