Marvel Cancellations?

[Flightpath07]

With the restructuring of Marvel's titles, it looks like the net is rife with rumours of what might be cancelled. Which has caused Christos Gage to appeal to people to buy Avengers Academy, as he is having to defend it against allegations that it is going bye-bye.

Anybody hear anything else about what they might be cancelling?

[Phil]

I'm confused.

That link is from last year.

[Flightpath07]

Ack. Stupid me, trusting a query to Google to actually pull up something current! And stoopider me, for not checking the date of the article. I guess that's why we have administrators here, eh?

With all the talk about the restructuring, and there is a lot of talk about it already, nobody yet (outside of Joe Q and a few others, i'll bet) seems to know what current Marvel titles will last and which'll get the boot (or "the change").

[Phil]

That would have been around the time of the Volume 4 cancellation so unfortunately we know what got the chop

* I hope it wasn't Volume 4. I hope it wasn't Volume 4. *

Did it work?

Something a bit more current.

[Phil]

Yeah, that's what I was on about here but as far as they've made known so far, nothing's being cancelled per se, just certain titles relaunched with fresh ones launching.

I thought I read there would be 20 new titles. Unless they are re-naming a full twenty new titles (seems unlikely that more than 10 would be renamed, if that many), i would think they would have to drop some titles. No point over-saturating the market, that just forces Marvel to drop titles later when people cannot afford to keep getting their regular series as well as picking up the new ones.

Get down with S.O.P.

20 #1's.

And the fact that they'd do that surprises you, of all people?

Oh, you know me so well!

Still, I can always hope they'll come around to my way of thinking...

Your turn to be the hopeless optimist? Better wear a cup.


Blaugh, just followed the link and saw that JQ is using this as a chance to stroke his ego by doing terrible redesigns for characters who would look better in some of their more classic costumes. I hate this guy so much.

Watch, they won't bother to fix Wildchild's idiotic goth kid outfit and tacky piercings.

Why the hell does Thor have swords?

Doth though wound me? If thou prick me, shalt i not bleed?

Or, to be more common-era, tru dat.

And, to show I wasn't COMPLETELY delusional in my thoughts...

That is just what is being cancelled in October...no word on whether other titles will be cancelled in the months to come.

[Phil]

But out of those titles (Captain America, Fantastic Four, FF, Incredible Hulk, Invincible Iron Man, New Mutants, The Mighty Thor, Uncanny X-Men and X-Men Legacy.) six are being relaunched with new #1's in November so they're not being cancelled per se.
