10 Things You Need To Know About The Future Of Marvel
6. There's A Whole New Team Of Howling Commandos
No time to worry about the state of Iron Man, though. Besides the All-New, All-Different Avengers, there's another new superhero team on the scene in the Marvel Universe once Secret Wars is all done and dusted. One of the weirder tie-ins during the event is Mrs Deadpool And The Howling Commandos, a team made up of horror characters. Marvel's line of spooky characters has been dormant since their seventies heyday, with Secret Wars a perfect excuse to resurrect them as the enforcers for the fourth wall breaking-mutant's lady wife. Looks like they won't just be back for the duration of the crossover, however. According to reports from this weekend's C2E2 convention, Marvel are planning to spin off the Howling Commandos into their own book in September. That's a team made up of Man-Thing, Frankensteins Monster (last seen in X-Men), Werewolf By Night (not to be confused with Man-Wolf), and The Mummy. Horror is alive in Marvel's future, and in the strangest possible way.
