All-New, All-Different Marvel Reboot Coming Soon

A few weeks ago, everything ended. Now Marvel is looking to what happens next. The publisher's current Secret Wars crossover collapsed the entire fictional universe in on itself, with almost all Marvel titles being cancelled or put on hold until the event was over. And up until now, they've refused to give any idea what title would survive, and what would be left of them! At last, though, they've given some inkling as to the state of the Marvel Universe come September. This week Marvel announced that they would be publishing a full, 64-page preview magazine (like a press release that fans feel obliged to read!) on July 1st with a run-down of the books it would be publishing in September, thus affording comic retailers who have to order these things a sigh of relief. Since then, they've confirmed more details on their slate of post-Secret Wars titles. And there's a lot of them. According to a report on Mashable, September will see Marvel launching between 55 and 60 books, all starting from fresh first issues. Except maybe titles like Howard The Duck and The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, which are just ignoring Secret Wars the way many readers wish they could. A preview image and quotes from Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso promises returns from fan favourites like Ms Marvel, but also the addition of new characters, with stories set eight months past Secret Wars. That includes the arrow-wielding Red Wolf from the upcoming 1872 (a Secret Wars tie-in with Tony Stark and Steve Rogers in the Old West), a new Iron Man if the All-New, All-Different Avengers preview is to be believed, and both Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen possibly joining the main Marvel Universe. "We've been planning it for years," says Alonso, but based on the synergistic placement of Ant-Man, Black Panther, Sam Wilson as Cap and Agent Coulson, the "we" probably means Marvel Studios...
