39 reasons why I am glad I stopped reading Marvel….
Filed under: Commentary, From the Blogverse, Marvel Comics
I was checking out Rich Johnston’s new blog, Bleeding Cool, and read an article he wrote about how many titles that Marvel put out this week:
This Wednesday, Marvel will ship 39 serialised comic books.
Twelve X-titles – Astonishing X-Men #30, Timestorm 2009/2099 X-Men #1, Uncanny X-Men #512, Wolverine First Class #16, Wolverine Noir #3, Wolverine Weapon X #3, X-Factor #45, X-Force #16, X-Men Forever #2, Dark Wolverine #75, Wolverine Magazine #3 and Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia #1. And five are Wolverine specific.
That last title adds up to five Avengers books, including Avengers/Invaders #12, Avengers: The Initiative #25,? Dark Avengers #6 and New Avengers #54.
Adding to those three Dark Reign books are another nine, Dark Reign: Elektra #1, Dark Reign: Zodiac #1, Dark Reign Lethal Legion #1, Dark Reign Sinister Spider-Man #1, Dark Reign The Hood #2, Amazing Spider-Man #598, Ms. Marvel #40, Secret Warriors #5 and Thunderbolts #133, making twelve.
And then we have Daredevil #119, Fantastic Four Giant-Size Adventures One-Shot, Guardians of the Galaxy #15, Immortal Iron Fist #27, Incredible Hercules #130, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #52, Nova #26, Riftwar #1, Runaways #11, Skaar: Son of Hulk #12, Squadron Supreme #12, Terror Inc. – Apocalypse Soon #3, Thor #602 and Ythaq No Escape #3.
To all Marvel zombies out there… that’s a lot of comics. Especially when amongst those are fourteen additional variant covers. Plus eleven trades or hardcover collections.
Holy shit man!!? I guess Marvel is using the shotgun method now, “lets publish a shitload of comics, hopefully a few of them will sell well!”
