That sounds amazing might have to give them a go

I think this is a big summer for Superman and DCs future films so lets hope for the best, looking forward to these comics as well.

Have you seen the teaser marvel put out today, no clear info on what it will involve but maybe a relaunch after Age of Ultron or an annual reset of all comics !

Our Year

anything to do with this ?

cebs_uk

not seen that one but its 52, so maybe a relaunch to match dc new52 is right?

Just seen the variant for Batman 18 by Andy Kubert, wont post it due to spoilers but looks very nice imo.
Judging by how hard to get Batman inc 8 variant was this is likely to be similar.

Age of Ultron could potentially be a good 'reset' point for the Marvel Universe, but I can't believe they'd go down that route, not having just done a soft relaunch with Marvel Now.  DC saw a sales spike with the New 52 but I think Marvel are back on top again so it's not like they're struggling.  

The press release said 'Marvel unveils cutting edge plans to revolutionize the world of comics, bringing print and digital media together like never before for the ultimate experience!'

Some of the names inside the '1' on the poster are from yesteryear rather than current, so I wonder if it's to do with an expansion or improvement to comics unlimited, or a reprint/reissue of old #1's or classic arcs...

Well it's 52 years since fantastic four launched being pretty much the start of the "modern" era

I'm guessing linked to that
Few deaths, few returns, few shakeups and with lots of trails and teases is my guess

Our Year

I managed to get the a b and c covers for batman inc 8

Thanks for posting the AoU stuff.

I had been considering getting into that but no way I can afford to keep up with that 3 AoU issues a month plus the extras??

That's just ridiculous amounts of money considering Marvel tend to favour higher prices than DC for their comics.

Pretty much pulling away from Marvel NOW & will only keep on Avengers, Uncanny Avengers & Guardians of the Galaxy now

DC is still where it's at for me & now they've killed Damien (Taken long enough!! bloody kid!) I can drop Batman & Robin as well.
