Marvel’s Wave 2 Branded All-New Marvel NOW. New Invaders and Inhuman. (Updated)
Marvel went to USA Today to announce their second wave of Marvel NOW comics, dubbed All-New Marvel NOW. This second wave begins December 24 with Avengers #24.NOW, which will be an entry point for new readers and remains Marvel’s flagship series. The new wave will also see All-New Invaders and Inhuman in January. This initiative continues through April of 2014.
Though cryptic in the article, select NOW comics will include digital codes “for the first collection of issues so fledgling fans can get brought up to speed.”
Inhuman will follow these key players in the Marvel U after Infinity and the upcoming Inhumanity. The series will be written by Matt Fraction with ar by Joe Madiurera. The series follows what happens when a large part of the human population is exposed to the Terrigen Mists that gave the Inhuman’s their powers. So, we have a budding population of newly powered individuals, much like what’s been dealt with in X-Men storylines of years past. Unfolding out of the cataclysmic events of Infinity, new Inhumans spring up around the globe forcing the once-secret society of Inhumans out into civilization! With Avengers-level powers and abilities, will they chose to stand with Earth’s Mightiest…or against them? As the chaos consumes the globe, discover the fate of King Black Bolt and his royal family as the world becomes Inhuman!
Avengers #24.NOW written by writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Esad Ribic sees Captain America take a larger role (he hasn’t had one already?) as he and Iron Man round-up a new team of Avengers to deal with a runaway planet heading toward Earth. Only the mightier-than-ever Avengers can prevent the annihilation of two worlds!
Captain America also joins some friends from World War II including the original Human Torch, Namor the Sub-Mariner and former Cap sidekick Bucky Barnes who seems to be going by his brainwashed name of Winter Soldier in modern-day with All-New Invaders by writer James Robinson and artist Steve Pugh. The alien Kree Empire discovers a way to weaponize Norse Gods, can these timeless allies survive the deadly cosmic trenches?

Review: Superior Spider-Man #9
Since December of last year, it almost seems like writer Dan Slott has been going on out his way to make geeks get riled up and pissed off. Superior Spider-Man #9 is his latest release and it’s kicked up an online shit-storm as expected. The storyline is simple, Doc Ock has figured out Peter’s conscious is still in his body and decides to battle him within their shared mind. It’s a “fight” comic with some interesting twists and turns and helped by the solid art of Ryan Stegman.
The storyline involving Doctor Octopus taking over Spider-Man’s body as a whole has been controversial, getting fans whipped up into a frenzy over how Slott “ruined” their favorite character. For me, not being a regular Spidey reader, the story seems fresh and entertaining. Enough so, that I’m now regularly reading the series, something I wasn’t 6 months ago.
What’s interesting is Slott’s ability to have Ock balance between being a hero, or at least what he thinks one is, and being the villain he was. There’s a fine line in that and interesting character growth that Slott’s been slowly teasing and using as a plot device.
In this issue, the story could have gone numerous ways, and with that last page, we’re lead to believe (not going to give the spoiler away). But, for those that read Amazing Spider-Man #700, things aren’t always what they seem. And to me, that’s what’s so interesting about this storyline and some of these key issues.
The results and overall plot is somewhat predictable, but it’s still tremendously enjoyable. I’ve loved Slotts dialogue and plotting, he’s a master at both when it comes to delivering entertainment. The fact the community is so enraged brings more enjoyment. To think things won’t be resolved in some way in time for the next Spider-Man movie is laughable. Peter will be back most likely, it’s not if, but when. The meltdowns over it all shows Slott is doing a good job.
Comics are supposed to entertain and elicit and emotion. We can feel joy, sorrow, laugh or in this case for man, anger. The fact Slott is doing a mix of that for so many shows how solid of a writer he is and what an excellent run it is for the character. He’s doing his job, and doing it really damn well.
