Well, we know that we are only just a little over a month away from the first Marvel NOW title (Uncanny Avengers) being dropped, so that means that many of our current storylines and in some cases, creative teams, will be ending soon. Which storylines and books that you currently enjoy are you dreading seeing come to an end?
It would have to be Mighty Thor for me. That book was close to the top of my read pile and I'll miss it. I'll also miss Invincible Iron Man even though I understand that Matt Fraction has been on this book for years, so it's just a natural conclusion to it's end. Sigh, I'll miss my Fraction books. Farewell.

Out of the ones listed, I'll probably miss Hickman's Fantastic Four the most. I was very late to that party, but I'm really enjoying it.

Lol. I'm actually doing that as a protest of sorts. Keeping that up there until they get back together. Originally Posted by KurtW95

I would assume Captain/Winter soldier, Academy and Journey will be the hardest to rekindle the fire. Good luck with that.

I generally like the new teams. With Hickman's F4, I'd rather see him leave on a high note. And Winter Soldier is getting a writer I'm very interested in.
I know Kevin Nichols through a guy that knows a gal. Small world!

I agree. Even though I'll miss it the most, I'm glad to see Hickman (and others) moving on to more stuff. I feel like Bendis burned himself out a bit on Avengers, so (even though I'm not picking it up) I'm glad he's moving to a bunch of characters he hasn't written before. Originally Posted by CyberHubbs

Actually, for most of these I'm happy to see the changes. I'd dropped or was considering dropping them because they'd lost the magic. However...
Honorable mentions to Avengers Academy and Winter Soldier, both of which are still currently very high on my list. AA struggled a little for a bit there, but is still a great book, and WS has been Brubaker at his best since the Death of Cap arc. However my vote has to go to
Journey Into Mystery
It's my favorite title. I know it was always meant as a finite run, and I'm glad Marvel have allowed Gillen to complete it, but the bottom line is that my favorite book is changing both writer and main character. While I'll give the new direction a chance, I don't expect it'll be nearly as good.

I was really skeptical about turning the title back into journey into mystery, and having it star kid loki, but man, overall,The run has been a breath of fresh air.Great sense of dark humor.Marvel just is saving me the 3.99 a month I would have spent on it.

Defenders and Avengers Academy I'm a big fan of those books and I am gutted that they're ending.
The other books in that list that I read are at least getting a renumbering and/or rebranding.Melissa - 19th December 2012

Not reading any of those. The only book I've been getting that's being canceled is New Mutants, and that has not been very good recently.

We struggled against apartheid in South Africa, supported by people the world over, because black people were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about; our very skins. It is the same with sexual orientation. It is a given.
