All-New Marvel NOW! The teasers continued

This week saw the teasers continued for Marvel NOW! With more teasers comes more thoughts as to what they are for... so here are my thoughts on the few that caught my eye and find the teasers for the others at the bottom;



Overdrive, I have a strong feeling this is going to be one of the All-New Marvel NOW! issue ones rather than a point NOW! issue. I do not know much of Felipe Smith but have enjoyed the artwork of Tradd Moore with the few items drawn by him that I've picked up. Many of the comic sites are guessing this may be a Ghost Rider comic or this could be to do with a new character to come out of Inhumanity. I would have thought a new Ghost Rider comic would be announced at the Superior Spider-Man panel along with the other street level heroes but it won't be long now till we finally find out what this is teasing along with the rest and also while at the Marvel Panel at DICE 2013 recently C B Cebulski did mention that there will be news on Ghost Rider along with The Punisher.


Ales Kot has recently jumped on Secret Avengers with Nick Spencer and this could be what this is to do with, or this could also be teasing the Black Widow comic everyone seems to believe will be coming. Another hope of mine is that this may be a new Secret Warriors themed team although Jonathan Hickman did such a great job on that title that I'm not sure whether I would want to see a new or re-incarnation of the book I just miss it. But on that note the word 'Frenemies' certainly sets the tone for a Spy/ Assassin thriller and with Kot and Walsh's recent successful launch of their creator owned Zero with Image we already know that this team can create a great spy thriller! This will be one of my highlights of the show to find out what they will be on and there is a space on my Monthly pull list ready for this title!





Have you been enjoying Avengers Arena? Well I most certainly have, and along with many others. Avengers Arena from Hopeless and Walker turned out to be one of the most interesting Avengers titles out there and also a surprise favourite among fans. Originally when teased to have a Hunger Games-esque, Battle Royal type theme to it everyone baulked at the idea. Now after an incredibly successful run and its current form coming to its natural end I am happy to see that this creative team has something to announce at the Avengers panel at New York Comic Con. Clearly the next "season", as the word keeps being used, for the teenagers of the Marvel Universe I can not wait to see what is to come next from some of Marvel's great teen heroes with one of their breakout creative teams of the year!




Along with Avengers Arena, Avengers A.I by Humphries and Araujo, spiralling out from Age of Ultron, is currently one of my standout favourites and possibly the Avengers title I most look forward to each month. Yes, yes, Hickman is doing a great job on Avengers but as the Flagship title this requires accessibility and does not get much chance to experiment. With Avengers A.I. Marvel have one of there up and coming writing talents working on a great concept with another promising talent in Araujo. With issue 4 out tomorrow, I very much look forward to hearing what it is to come next from this title, and hoping the word "Extinction" has nothing to do with the length of its shelf life shall we say?
