Axel Alonso: Marvel NOW! is the next chapter in the ongoing saga of the Marvel Universe. From October through February, we’ll provide at least one great reason for readers—old, lapsed or new—to go into a comic store each week: a new issue #1, featuring an exciting new creative team and driving concept, that’s an easy entry-point into the Marvel Universe. Each and every one of these launches is built to last.

I hate this song so much. See the problem isn't that they need to keep restarting it is that they need to be more aware of their audience. They hire new writers who, I can only guess swear they don't care about contiunity, who eventually try to pack/slip in an easter egg for continuity fans and then time for yet another reboot. With a lot of these characters 'modernizing' them is a really difficult thing.

An Example: the Fantastic 4 would have a harder time stealing a shuttle to get them to the necessary cosmic rays in this day and age were you get x-rayed just to fly. Often with reboots you end up with a disjointed mess ala Hawkman after CoIEs in other words Characters that recognize characters they have supposedly never met.

Let's just say that I appreciate that there is 30-40 years already in the bank that I can enjoy and just skip this crap. I can not really convey my seething displeasure at these turn of events. This from a collector of 20+ years with 17 long boxes full of comics, I mean with the price hikes for the minimal substance they offer these days I'll spend it on back issues and call it a day and save my money.

No disrespect intended to anyone who might be excited about this I'm just going to avoid this trainwreck waiting to happen
