What happend to "Every week there will be one new title?" or I misunderstood?

What happend to "Every week there will be one new title?" or I misunderstood?

That seems to be the plan, though its not necessarily a "new" title. It could be a completely new book or a relaunched title.

What happend to "Every week there will be one new title?" or I misunderstood?

I tried to dig up as many planned ship dates as I could, but not all of them are posted in an easily findable place on Marvel.com yet. But as far as I can tell, once things get rolling in November, there will be at least 1 new book each week, yes.

I noticed in this month's DC and Marvel's solicits and their respective "refreshing" of their key franchises that Marvel has moved new creators around to stretch their wings, provide a fresh perspective, etc. DC, on the other hand, has Marvel's 1990's crowd (Tom DeFalco, Scott Lobdell, Bob Harras, Jim Lee) taking on their characters. A year out, the new version of many of their characters don't seem a marked improvement over their predecessors and they all lack the rich published history that readers and creators can draw upon (I do like much of their Dark line and Wonder Woman). I don't always agree with Marvel's story choices but I do prefer that choice over DC's tendency to focus on the 'iconic' status of characters, making their status as fictional beings so much more obvious by just treating them like trademarks and brands. No point in getting invested in Batgirl's perils for this month, for example, because a new marketing initiative will eventually render it all out of continuity. I'm not really wanting to be a DC vs. Marvel guy... I like both publishers but I think that DC went for short-term obvious fixes that will wear out it's market bump unless they really focus on keeping the quality of the writing up.

[EXCELSIOR 2.0]

That Point One cover with Furyon it, is that Wiccan, Kid Loki, and Miss America? If so, that's the most exciting thing on that page.

[jade_nova]

Is it me or does the Captain America cover scream the Nineties to anyone else?

[Sentinel Supreme]

I'm most interested in X-Men Legacy #1, only because Si Spurrier is writing and I'm enjoying his Extermination series from Boom. I find this whole Marvel NOW initiative very confusing however and really, it's just same old same old. It would have been better if they would've grown a pair and rebooted their continuity like DC.

DC is much more than that.
Scott Snyder
Jeff Lemire
Geoff Johns
Grant Morrison
John Layman
Joshua Hale Fialkov
Frances Manapul

those aren't 90s Marvel by any means.

A year out, the new version of many of their characters don't seem a marked improvement over their predecessors and they all lack the rich published history that readers and creators can draw upon (I do like much of their Dark line and Wonder Woman)

So a year's worth of comics doesn't have the same cohesion and history as a product 30 years in the making? I'm stunned.

I don't always agree with Marvel's story choices but I do prefer that choice over DC's tendency to focus on the 'iconic' status of characters, making their status as fictional beings so much more obvious by just treating them like trademarks and brands.

Isn't that the exact thing Marvel is doing with their characters or did I just dream up Black Fury and Hawkeye in his movie outfit?

No point in getting invested in Batgirl's perils for this month, for example, because a new marketing initiative will eventually render it all out of continuity.

You do realize that the last major continuity shake-up was about 20 years ago, right? That's a nice long lifespan, especially in today's media world (see: movie Spiderman)

[Crunch C.]

So now we're officially calling new fury " Nick Fury" as in the Point One description?

So now we're officially calling new fury " Nick Fury" as in the Point One description?

He was confirmed to be Nick Fury Jr in the last issue of Battle Scars.

[Spidey Sense]

It was all a dream jr. Legacy looks special. Those readers who find comfort in self marginalization may still have a home in the X line. But yes, I dig the cover.
Still no news about Cosmic titles or art for Hickman's new berth, while the all new X-men cover with Wolverine and NWA is promising.

[The Animal Man]

Still No News About Dark/Supernatural titles....

[spidey99]

Ok, I just don't get the whole new number 1, except for a money grab. But I just hope they leave Amazing Spider-Man alone. It's the only comic I care about anymore.

Keep On Thwipin'!!!

[Professor Arkham]

Still No News About Dark/Supernatural titles....

Where you expecting any? Not really Marvel's thing these days...
