[CBR News]

It's a full run of fan questions on the impending Marvel NOW! relaunch as Axel discusses the fate of everyone from Spider-Woman and Hawkeye to Moon Knight and Blade and much more.


Full article here.

LESS MOCKINGBIRD?! Boooooo!

That image of Doc Ock plastered against the Punisher's spaceship... awesome.

Also, I never thought I'd get to type that sentence... double awesome.

"Alonso: Most titles are staying the same price they are now, with many of the added-value features we offered during "Avengers Vs. X-Men."

Meaning most of the titles relaunching are already $3.99, while the few that aren't will move to $3.99. But it's ok cuz there's AR now.

Oddly sad at what the Mockingbird and Black Widow news represents.

Hey, we want women in books but only a very limited number of them and they have to know their place as accessories.

Oh, Marvel. NO.

[oldforce]

Positives I'm taking: Wonder Man, probably written by Hickman; Black Panther; Blade, eventually;

Negatives: No plans for dark/fantasy/horror other than those MU Vs. minis

Those Red She-Hulk pages look nice.

[chariset]

"Believe in magic"?

Oh Marvel, why must you be such a tease?

Oddly sad at what the Mockingbird and Black Widow news represents.

"Hey, we want women in books but only a very limited number of them and they have to know their place as accessories."

Oh, Marvel. NO.

Or, every time we do a female solo no one buys it.

[Legion_Quest]

Wonder Man!

What's the betting it's a swerve and the 'big team' is a new Master of Evil?

[Lady_Alternate]

Or, every time we do a female solo no one buys it.

Female fronted titles have been cancelled even when out-selling other books, so that doesn't cut it. Also, this news is that female characters presently on team books "might make an appearance" and will get "less face time", so your bullshit "poor sales" response doesn't apply.

[The Avenging One]

Disappointing news with Mockingbird. I am guessing she doesn't make the cut with the upcoming Avenger teams.

WM must be joining either Remender's UA or Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers.

Oddly sad at what the Mockingbird and Black Widow news represents.

"Hey, we want women in books but only a very limited number of them and they have to know their place as accessories."

Oh, Marvel. NO.

What an utterly ridiculous assumption. The fact that you take that from the article speaks far more to your own warped perceptions of rampant sexism at the company than any actual genuine "agenda" Marvel may or may not have.

Wonder Man!

What's the betting it's a swerve and the 'big team' is a new Master of Evil?

I hope he's the former Avenger that joins Uncanny Avengers in the near future, but I wouldn't be surprised by a heel turn.

He's already cracked in the brain, unless that wasn't him in the Revengers, which is possible given the way Bendis ended it.
