A lot has happened in the course of the last two months and more and more news spilled out of Marvel about the titles that will be a part of Marvel Now. The relaunch of Marvel is shaping up to have some interesting choices for Marvel. While we already confirmed a slew of new # 1s from Marvel Now that include the following:
Uncanny Avengers by Rick Remender & John Cassidy
All New X-Men by Brian Michael Bendis & Stuart Immonen
Thor: The God of Thunder by Jason Aaron & Esad Ribic
Indestructible Hulk by Mark Waid & Leinil Yu
Avengers by Jonathan Hickman & Jerome Opena
New Avengers by Jonathan Hickman & Steve Epting
Captain America by Rick Remender & John Romita Jr
Deadpool by Gerry Duggan, Brian Poshen & Tony Moore
Iron Man by Kieron Gillen & Greg Land
Fantastic Four by Matt Fraction & Mark Bagley
FF by Matt Fraction & Mike Allred
Since then, there have been new titles and other titles with new directions. So, let's go into all the new stuff.
First, we have confirmation of the new New Avengers line up: Iron Man, Black Bolt, Mr. Fantastic & Black Panther.So, we say goodbye to the Luke Cage New Avengers team.
Next up, Journey Into Mystery will shift over from Kid Loki being the star to Lady Sif herself. Writer Kathryn Immonen takes over the title to give us a very different and ... violent Sif.
Another title that is changing it's star is Hulk. Hulk will become Red She Hulk as of this November. Betty Banner will take charge as she takes on the mission of taking down any super powered being with writer Jeff Parker.
Then there are some majorily different titles coming in. The first is Avengers Arena. A bunch of younger, teen characters with ties to the Avengers are all stuck in Arcade's Murderworld and have to do their best to survive it ... and possibly kill each other in the process. X-23, Reptyl, Darkhawk, Nico of the Runaways and more are apart of this brand new ongoing. And yes ... Battle Royale and Hunger Games inspired title. Yah ... Marvel killing lots of teens.Avengers Arena is written by Dennis Hopeless and art by Kev Walker.
Next up, Cable and X-Force has a second X-Force team coming together. Cable gathers Domino, Colossus, Forge & Dr. Nemesis together but are immediately outlaws in the eyes of the Uncanny Avengers. Find out what Dennis Hopeless and Salvador Larocca have in store for this team.
Finally, the other big title that is starting from Marvel Now is a brand new Thunderbolts title. Not to be confused with Jeff Walker's Dark Avengers book. Daniel Way pens a brand new Thunderbolts book with artist Steve Dillon. The book features a brand new line up of Elektra, Deadpool, Venom, Punisher and lead by Red Hulk. This team is put together by Ross (Red Hulk) himself to take down enemies he deems fit to take down. Thunderbolts, like Cable and X-Force will debut this December.
This new relaunch is shaping up to being distinctly different from DC's new 52.
