Interesting Plans to reinvigorate Avengers Academy and Tbolts.

What plans? Nothing has been released about those teases yet,

I love Axel In Charge. I genuinely can't wait on Friday's to see what he has to say, and the preview artwork. Make Mine Marvel!

[santino27]

The artwork from Opena and Pagulayan is just outstanding. Not going to say anything about that Captain Marvel art though (except that I am already sick of airplanes)

Alonso: Marvel NOW! certainly offers a great platform to do what you're talking about. Yes, there isn't a better launching pad for a new or breakout character than a core series that's got some juice. [CoughCOUGH]

Not sure what he's getting at here. I'm assuming there's a hint there but I'm too dumb to see it. :)

Also glad to hear that Wolverine MAX is an ongoing series, and not a 5 issue mini.

actually considering checking out the Avengers for once

What is going on with Cap's costume? Opena did the redesign, but from the looks of those preview pages, he's not even sticking with it. Yet Cap's got his redesigned costume in Red She-Hulk... Which isn't a Marvel Now! Title. Anyone else feeling a bit lost?

Well Jeff said Rulk would be in a book that he know's, so it is fair to say that Rulk will lead the Thunderbolts. And AA will still be around.

-raises hand-

Same here. I tried, but just couldn't anymore, as far as the CM series goes. However, I'll get back on it with that Monica Rambeau cameo due later.

Books similar to Soldier X and X-Factor vol. 2? Morrison moves ever closer to vindication...

He did mention the names of the franchises, but whether that means they are indeed being relaunched or he was just dropping names, time will tell. Based off what he said about Hopeless' and Walker's book I wonder what could that possibly be instead of an Avengers book.

I think he was being sarcastic, as T-bolts are now the "Dark Avengers"....and Avengers Academy is ending after the current story arc....in other words hard to revamp or reinvigorate a book that dosen't exist anymore

The titles still exist, it's not like their not still going on right now. AA is probably just getting relaunched and Tbolts are probably getting a new series after Parker is done with them. Given most of last months teases we're of series that are ending and are getting relaunched, it's safe to assume Marvel has the same idea with it's other titles.

[Drew Mathieu]

I'm surprised that Marvel seems to be investing more in niche series and characters rather than just cancelling and relaunching it's current series. It's still up in the air what the current titles will be and what still remains in the remaining months of Marvel now, so hopefully more off the beaten path titles spring up.

I wonder when we'll actually get the reveal of what these book titles (and casts) are.
