The Best Of The Marvel Line-Up

Marvel is currently going through it's Secret Wars storyline right now which is their way of rebooting the entire comic universe and it is...confusing to say the least (How many Peter Parkers are there?). But we already know what comics will remain come October, there will be 45 overall and I am going to talk about the ones that get me excited (in alphabetical order).

1. All New, All Different Avengers
As much as I love The Avengers, the comic series has never really appealed to me, but with a brand new line-up of heroes, hopefully this will give it a fresh perspective. The line-up includes Iron Man (Tony Stark), Thor (Jane Foster), Captain America (Sam Wilson), Ms Marvel (Kamala Khan), Spider-Man (Miles Morales) Nova (Sam Alexander) and The Vision. It's a creative and new line-up of characters who we haven't seen interact in this combination so i look forward to seeing how they all get along.






2. Daredevil
Ever since the breakout success of Netflix's Daredevil, of course Marvel are going to want to give him a lot of focus, and the big change that we can see from this cover alone is that Matt Murdock has a sidekick! I'm interested in seeing where they're going to go with this character and see what they do new. Unlike some other comics like Amazing Spider-Man or All New X-Men which i'm sure will be good, i expect them to be the same as before, here, who knows what they're gonna do.







3. Extraordinary X-Men
The X-Men comic is one that needed a hard reboot, character relationships were convoluted, people were much angstier than before, the line-up was too different, i want to see the X-Men go back to their roots. Hopefully this comic-line will do that (The inclusion of Old Man Logan is interesting) and they can give us the X-Men we all know and love.









4. Guardians of the Galaxy
Star-Lord is a woman!? Is it Kitty Pryde!? Where's Gamora!? Venom's there!? AND THE THING!? Fuck me, comic, ya got me hooked and i haven't seen a single page yet!











5. Ms Marvel
This is kind of against the other titles on my list, i'm mostly focusing on the comics that look like they're doing something different and actually feel like there was a reason for a reboot. Ms Marvel is a character I want to stay the exact same, she's still new enough that they can just continue her story and i'd be fine with it. Hell, she's one of the best characters and comics that Marvel has got right now, don't mess with something perfect.








6. Spider-Gwen
One of the breakout characters of the past year, though I love the concept, the character and the costume design, being honest her short run didn't really impress me all too much. Hopefully now that Marvel has realised her popularity will result in a stronger focus on better storytelling.










7. Spider-Man
Miles Morales's Spider-Man is sailing on the same boat as Ms Marvel, a break-out character that fans fell in love with and he's still fresh enough that they don't really have to change much about his story, especially seeing as his story ended with the revelation that is girlfriend is a Hydra agent, i wanna see where that goes. It also shows how much faith Marvel has in Miles as a character seeing as his title is just 'Spider-Man' as if it's their way of saying he's the main Spidey for them.







So those were the Marvel comics that I am most looking forward to reading come October, there are plenty of others that I will be checking out, but for the most part i either don't expect them to do much different or was never really interested in the characters in the first place. These are the ones that are doing new ideas for characters I love, i cannot wait to see what they're going to do and to see what the new Marvel Universe has in store for us.
