Well, we're about to embrace another year. And while the movie climate seems locked for Marvel, given how they have, like, seven movies coming out (yikes...), I've not really found out how Marvel is currently doing in the comic world ever since Legacy started in September. So what are your opinions on the comics currently being released (or what seems to be the public opinion), how well do you think they're selling, and what do you think CB Cebulski becoming editor-in-chief means for the company?

I'm a trade-waiter, so it doesn't bother me.
BTW, Bleeding Cool keeps doubling down on their theory that Ta-Nehisi Coates will write Captain America, now saying that he will take over from Waid in July. How likely do you think this is?

Must've been a vision of the Norns.
As for the new writer for the Captain America comic, I reserve judgement until the rest of you comment the issues involved.

What does it mean to "comment the issues involved?"
(Edited by Tomfull.i)
To talk about the issue when it comes out.

Fair enough.
Marvel keeps "going back to #1s" because it provides a temporary sales boost.
When do you think the Richards family will return? In June? In December? (My money is on December, since Chip Zardsky says Marvel 2-In-One will last at least 12 issues). https://www.newsarama.com/38561-chip-zdarsky-marvel-2-in-one-3-interview.html
EDIT: Coates IS writing Captain America!https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2018/02/we-who-love-america/553991/
EDIT: The FF come back in August!

I was wondering what some of you thing about the "Avengers: No Surrender" arc as well as the "Infinity Countdown" and "Damnation" storylines so far.
(Edited by Rtkat3)
I haven't read them. If I had been reading them, I would give you my opinion, though.
No Surrender is going to be collected in a ginormous, expensive hardcover. I'm not going to buy it, the library is probably not going to get it, and frankly it's not important to me. Infinity Countdown is a continuation of a Guardians run I haven't read, so I have no incentive to jump in. I still haven't finished Jason Aaron's Doctor Strange run.
The only Marvel books I'm reading right now are X-Men Gold, Invincible Iron Man, and some of the Spider-Man books (plus Star Wars, but that's not what most people think of when they say "Marvel book"). As a trade-waiter I'm not going to read much in the way of Fresh Start era stories until January.

It was nice for Marvel Comics to bring Hulk back from the dead for the upcoming "Fresh Start" banner.
(Edited by Rtkat3)
Yes it was!

Of course the Hunt for Wolverine storyline now has the X-Men and those who knew Wolverine working to find Wolverine and figure out how he came back from the dead. One issue has Daredevil working with Cypher, Misty Knight, and Nur. What do you people think of the first two issues that are out so far?
