They’ll each be relaunched with an “EXCITING! NEW! STATUS QUO!!!” as part of this book a week deal. I certainly don’t believe they’re going to dump the titles that contain their main movie characters. In fact the only four on that list I can’t see coming back in some form almost immediately are: FF (it’s a spin-off Fantastic Four book telling part of Jonathan Hickman’s tale. Now that’s he’s moving on to other things, it’s necessary); Uncanny X-Men (kinda replaced by Uncanny Avengers, plus there’s too many X-books at the moment); X-Men Legacy (Too many X-books again, it’s survived as… Read more »

It’s the same hype game that Marvel and DC have been playing for a few years now. They’ll make some change that’s marketed as a big deal in the hopes of generating some new interest in titles. But over time this buzz dies down and comics move back to something resembling their status quo because that’s what the core fanbase cares about.

tbh with all the screwing around marvel have been doing with the films recently (casting chris evans as Cap ect.) im starting to lose faith with comic book films and now even dc are thinking about a batan reboot already? they could atleast do a couple more films but then have the time line a bit later, because then it would make sense to change actors, and set tone a bt lighter. grr these companies just seem to be f***ing around with the fans and eventually we’re all just gonna give up
You didn’t think Chris Evans was any good as Captain America?
