All-New Marvel NOW! Teasers Galore, and there still coming... My Thoughts

So Marvel started teasing one word hints and creative teams for upcoming All-New Marvel NOW! projects from Wednesday last week and they have continued today, I wonder how many more there are still to come? I'm not convinced that these are all new titles and I have my guesses for a few.


"Trial" teased with the creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen and more to be revealed at the Amazing X-Men and the Marvel Universe Panel 11/10/2013 11:00am. Well what could this be, well my guess is that this may be to do with the X-Men's sudden passion for time travel, I am certain that Bendis said he hoped to cross his X-Men title with his other title Guardians of the Galaxy and considering the revelation between Thanos and Peter Quill in the most recent issue of Guardians of the Galaxy I am sure there is more to be answered for when it comes to the X-Men's recent abuse of the timeline. Considering this is to do with Bendis and Immonen I suggest it will be taking place within the pages of All-New X-Men and this is not teasing a new #1 issue.





"Judgement" teased with the creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli once again with more to be revealed at New York Comic Con at the Amazing X-Men and the Marvel Universe Panel. Considering the use of the flame filled font on both these teasers these must be linked. Pichelli is currently working on Guardians of the Galaxy with Bendis, and its because of these sets of creative teams that I believe this has something to do with a clash between the All-New X-Men and Guardians of the Galaxy. Chances are I may have this completely wrong, but because my memory is telling me Bendis first mentioned when he started on these titles that he hoped for them to cross paths at some point, well looks to me that All-New Marvel NOW! will be that point.





Right "Mindbubble" this is the one that has me a little stumped. Remender is currently working on Uncanny Avengers and Captain America. I know that Nic Klein will be joining Remender on Cap sometime soon but this may be just as a fill in for Pacheco. My guess is that considering the work load Remender currently has this is not another new #1 issue but a All-New Marvel NOW! jumping on point for one of his titles. Considering the art team and also the fact that McNiven is currently on Uncanny Avengers my best guess is that this has something to do with Captain America. I may well be surprised come the Avengers Panel at NYCC on 11/10/2013 @ 4:00pm. But at this point my money is on the next big story for Captain America.







SILVER SURFER! Well that is what I am 99.9999999 percent sure this "RAD!" is teasing. Slott when setting up at a con apparently accidentally has his desktop displayed on a projector screen and on this desktop were files or a file relating to Silver Surfer. Another reason I hope I am completely correct is one of my favourite titles from the first Marvel NOW! was FF with Allred on art and I very much want this to be him drawing a Silver Surfer comic. This will be announced and hopefully confirmed at the Inhumanity & All-New Marvel NOW! Panel so this must be a new #1!








Unfortunately Peter David is a writer whos work I follow other than the fact I know he most recently wrote and brought to an end his run on X-Factor. Considering the very little I know regarding the creators on this teaser I can only go with the rumours I have been reading on the internet and that is that this will be a X-Factor comic, a new beginning of sorts coming as part of the All-New Marvel NOW! wave. To be announced at the Amazing X-Men and the Marvel Universe Panel it looks like Marvel are planning on having a very busy and exciting NYCC this year. I have the dates in my calendar and the times of the panels, I do not want to miss any of this news in 1 weeks time.






Another reveal with Slott's name on it and his frequent collaborator and current Spider-Man artist Giuseppe Camuncoli. "The End" well Doc Ock's Superior Spider-Man initiative seems to be hitting the rocks recently which is making for one of the most entertaining books currently being released, but all good things have to come to an end right? Not everyone is convinced this is to do with Superior Spider-Man, but writing 2 issues of Spidey a month and also with the most recent "Rad!" teaser I don't think Slott would have time for another on-going, some sites have mentioned a limited series but considering the panel this is teased for, the Superior Spider-Man & Friends panel this can only be to do with Spider-Man himself. Maybe more will be made clear come the teased to be important issue at the end of October. But for now my money is on this seeing the return of Peter Parker, and well just in time for that movie coming out in May.



Another All-New Marvel NOW! teaser I don't believe is related to a new #1 issue. Hickman and Spencer have recently been co-writing Avengers and Spencer is also on Secret Avengers, Caselli has recently worked on Avengers with Hickman. I can't see there really being another Avengers title considering the amount of them there already are, Avengers, New Avengers, Secret Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, Avengers Arena, Young Avengers and Avengers A.I., although a few of them will be coming to their natural end soon. No this must be to do with the next stage in Hickman's big plan for the Avengers, currently in the middle of Inhumanity and with the .NOW issue of Avengers revealed for December I think this will have something to do with the next phase of Avengers.




I have read up a little on this one with other comic news sites. But I already knew Soule has recently come on to Thunderbolts for the Infinity tie-ins. One theory was this has something to do with Deadpool considering Barbieri's history with the character, however with Duggan and Posehn doing such a sterling job on that character and Sinners being plural this really hints at being a team of characters. With Soule currently on Thunderbolts and the current odd makeup and direction of the title this may be a re-hash which Soule will be leading the charge with. I have to take most of my speculation from the likes of CBR and Newsarama and come to the conclusion that this will be a Thunderbolts book, whether this will start again from #1 or just be receiving some form of All-New Marvel NOW! treatment all will be known come the end of the Amazing X-Men and the Marvel Universe Panel.



"HIGHER" + Kelly Sue DeConnick = CAPTAIN MARVEL! Good old Carol Danvers, I can't imagine this being anything else and don't think I really need to explain much further, with Captain Marvel's recent absence from solicitations this must have something to do with the character. I regret not continuing to pick up Captain Marvel especially as currently some of my favourite titles are the $2.99 issues which seem to team up some great artists with brilliant writers. So I do hope this is more to come from Captain Marvel!










Well this looks like Marvel's NYCC schedule is going to be jam packed, and something tells me this isn't the end of the teasers yet and there are still more to come during this week. Expect these teasers to be related to books coming out in February, or possibly January, but I imagine that most publishers will be releasing there January solicitations next week before NYCC.
