What am I excited about to come from All-New Marvel NOW! Current series will be getting a new #1 jumping on point, an initiative previously tested out and it must have worked. The most successful thing about the Marvel NOW! and All-New Marvel NOW! initiative was the new creative teams and titles announced on the different books, bringing a new lease of life to certain titles and also restarting many more from new #1's. Check out below to see what I am excited about from All-New Marvel NOW! in the new year;
So Friday gave us the announcement of a new title for one of my favourite Marvel characters, Moon Knight who will be getting the All-New Marvel NOW! treatment with a new #1. This will come from the creative team of Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire. I have to be honest I am not to savvy with work by Warren Ellis, I am well aware he is a critically acclaimed writer but I am not sure that I have really read much by him, but his reputation is enough to get me excited for whats to come from him writing this character, on the other side to this creative team is one of my favourite art team ups of current comics in Delcan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire who will be joining Warren to being this character back to our shelves. Shalvey and Bellaire recently finished up an arc on Deadpool, with Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn, bringing to life possibly one of the best Deadpool stories in recent times in "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly". I really do hope that this is a long term gig for the duo and I can not wait to see what this creative team get up to with the character.
Announced earlier in the month we will be getting a new Ms Marvel, the idea behind this is brilliant and leaves me excited to see what they do with this character, another enjoyable thing about it is it has the formula for what makes a great Marvel character, a young character who establishes they have these powers and now have to learn to live with these responsibly. It is yet another fairly unknown creative team to me but from the character sketches that have been released, which I posted on my Twitter, this certainly looks like it is sure to be a beautiful book, and at $2.99 it is certainly worth picking up to have a look. Nova was a similar book for me and this is now one of my favourite books to be released each month so I have high hopes for Ms. Marvel.
Previously announced at New York Comic con the new year sees the return of New Warriors to our shelves from Chris Yost and Marcus To. This team, as far as I am aware, has not really been seen since the events that lead to Civil War. This team will bring together some of my favourite characters from Nova, Scarlet Spider, Speedball and Justice to also introducing some of the newer characters to appear during Inhumanity and out of other titles. This is certainly a title to look out for and I will be picking up the first issue to test the waters before adding this to my Monthly Pick List.
Finally another title originally announced at NYCC but yet to be solicited. I hope to see this appear in the solicits for March come the beginning of December. From Felipe Smith and Tradd Moore, there is one thing for certain this is going to be a great looking book. I previously posted about my excitement for this title earlier in the year during my NYCC coverage and right now I am currently excited to finally see it appear in the solicits for next year.
One title I almost forgot to add to my list and that I have also previously posted during my coverage of NYCC is Silver Surfer from Dan Slott and Mike Allred, with Slott's evident writing ability in Superior Spider-Man and Allred's wonderful pop art style illustrations this title certainly has the formula for what should be a cracking book and one that is also yet to see the light of day in a solicits page, looking at a March release maybe? I hope so, although my bank balance does not.
I am certain there is still more to come from All-New Marvel NOW! Personally I am still waiting for a new Black Bolt series to spiral out of Inhumanity. I'm sure we will possibly find out more in the running up until the March 2014 solicits early next month.
