All-New, All-Different Marvel... Miles Morales is Spider-Man this Fall...

Spider-Man #1 Cover by Sara Pichelli
So it appears to be official. Miles Morales will be the new Marvel Universe Spider-Man post Secret Wars this fall when the All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe hits our shelves. The most exciting part of this announcement for me is, Brian Michael Bendis will be staying on as the characters writer and super star artist Sara Pichelli will be returning to illustrate the adventures of Miles Morales.

Now the article states that Miles Morales will be the Spider-Man of the Marvel Universe. What does this mean for Peter Parker? Well the article announcing the new Spider-Man series states that Peter Parker will be present as a mentor figure for Miles. Does this mean Peter Parker is heading for a temporary retirement? We will know more as July 1st approaches with the release of the free magazine which will feature the new titles coming this Fall.

For the time being lets just be pleased that Sara Pichelli's art will be returning to our shelves. Alongside my favourite character from the Ultimate Universe in Miles Morales. Right I just need to enjoy the remaining issues of Secret Wars before delving into this new Marvel Universe that looks to be coming our way.

All-New, All-Different Avengers... 2 more revealed...

So from my predictions so far, 1 right, 1 wrong. Vision joints the cast along with Nova. I was sure it would be Doctor Strange not Vision. But I am happy to see Vision there none the less, and not surprising to see him in the line up considering his coming appearance in Age of Ultron. I expect Doctor Strange to pop up somewhere post Secret Wars, even to get his own Secret Wars title which I don't think I have yet seen released. I imagine another two will be revealed tomorrow with the final reveal on Friday before Axel Alonso's usual Comic Book Resources interview.

Secret Wars heralds the end of the Marvel 616 Universe as we know it...

So it may have made more sense to post this before the All-New, All-Different Avengers post but I am still dealing with a bit of a drafts backlog. Anyway in the middle of last week Marvel's David Gabriel, their SVP of Sales and Marketing, announced 33 Marvel titles that will be coming to an end during Secret Wars. Now that is a lot of titles and considering they do not want this to be seen as a re-vamp creates more questions than it does answers. The full list of titles that see themselves coming to an end during Secret Wars can be found below.

Now looking at the below titles several of these had already been coming to a conclusion and are no surprises. The question I have is will some of the below titles Secret Wars replacements, for example "Guardians of Nowhere", "Thors", "A-Force", be there on-going replacements for the foreseeable future or will we see whoever survives Secret Wars and Battleworld getting their own titles come its conclusion, so lets say September, because right now Bleeding Cool's previous post highlighting "All-New Marvel" on the Diamond Distributors Retailer Calendar. We're already being teased of a possible Avengers line up that will be around post Secret Wars in the Free Comic Book Day issue.

Which of the below titles are you sad to see end and which do you think will most certainly be back come the conclusion of the Secret Wars event and whatever Marvel Universe is left in its place? For more check out the link below;

The New Spider-Women in your life...

February sees the end of Spider-Verse but spiralling out of this exciting Spidey-Event are several new and familar Spider-Women into our lives.

First off we have Spider-Woman who post Spider-Verse gets a Kris Anka makeover and a new series artist in Javier Rodriguez. I'll be looking to grab this issue when released in March with issue #5. Fan favourite writer Dennis Hopeless, Avengers Academy, will continue to write the series which is another reason to pick this up once its untangled from the restraints of Spider-Verse. See what you think from the CBR exclusive preview below.





Next we have Silk #1. First appearing during the Original Sin Amazing Spider-Man storyline and a main character in the Spider-Verse event, Silk will be getting her own ongoing series this month. From an exciting creative team of Robbie Thompson and Stacey Lee. The preview below gives Silk an exciting tone and aesthetic with Stacey Lee's more mangaesque, just making my own adjectives up now, poppy art style. Preview below, whaddaya think?




Right and finally, but by no means least, saving the best till last, in my opinion, we have Spider-Gwen. The star of the Edge of Spider-Verse minis and star of Spider-Verse. From the creative team of Jason Latour, Robbi Rodriguez and Rico Renzi we have the incredible and exciting taking on Gwen Stacy. I was wishing for this after reading the one-shot and now my dreams have come true. Spider-Gwen starts her on-going series the end of this month 25/02/2015. If you are yet to experience the awesomeness that is Spider-Gwen a fourth printing of Edge of Spider-Verse #2 was released this week, definitely worth checking out and there is a preview below.
