Monday Marvel Weekly Catch-Up

Here's my round up of the Marvel news that caught my eye in the past week. (From Monday 11/1 to Sunday 17/1)

Spider-Man #1 Preview (All-New All-Different Marvel);

This is the All-New All-Different Marvel title I have been waiting for since the announcement of the post Secret Wars universe last year. Miles Morales with the creative of Brian Michael Bendis, Sara Pichelli and previously David Marquez has been one of my stand out characters and titles for quite some time. It's also one of the titles that I have continuously collected without dropping an issue. Will it break my new digital only rule? Time will tell but with Bendis and Pichelli working together again on the character they created you just know that the writing and the art are going to be brilliant.

Marvel's Free Comic Book Day 2016;

It's that time of year again. A new year begins and the Free Comic Book announcements start to appear. Marvel have announced that there Free Comic Day offering will contain both a Civil War II prelude and a new tale from the All-New All-Different Avengers, written my Mark Waid introducing a new Wasp to the Marvel Universe. Which explains the teaser from earlier in the week, "Best beware my sting". The Civil War II prelude will be written and illustrated by the previously announced team of Bendis and Marquez who will be bringing us Marvel's next big event.
 This follows a similar format from last year where Marvel used there FCBD issue to introduce last years big event Secret Wars. I'd be sure to get to your local comic store early to ensure you get your hands on this issue as it sounds like it is going to be a good one.

Teasers: Dead No More: 

Earlier last week Marvel Released the teaser Dead No More. Nothing else has yet been released and were this to do with a comic being released in April I believe we will have received more information by now. Many of the comic websites have been spending there time trying to predict who may be coming back from the dead, as this is what the teasers most obvious explanation would be. Many believe this may be Wolverine related, but I would be surprised if he is brought back so soon considering Marvel have gone to the trouble of bringing Old Man Logan into the Marvel 616 fold along with handing over the mantle of Wolverine to X-23. However saying that I do struggle to think of any other characters who currently dead and prominent to receive such a teaser? Some other name thrown into the hat have been Gwen Stacy, however she appears to have received her own renaissance in terms of alternative Universe characters. Professor X is another important Marvel character currently deceased. But after what I wrote above it will probably be Wolverine coming back. What do you think?

Netflix Marvel Jessica Jones Season 2 Confirmed;

Finally, at released only yesterday. Jessica Jones has been confirmed to be getting a second season coming soon. Looks like the Marvel Netflix line is just as popular as the Cinematic Universe and I for one love that. We already have Daredevil Season 2 to look forward to this March and now we have Jessica Jones second season to look forward too.

Not to mention the rumoured Punisher series to spin out of Daredevil, and the previously announced Luke Cage series and Iron Fist series. The future of Marvel's Netflix Universe looks incredibly bright.
