All New, All Different Marvel gets creative

Suited and rebooted

In the wake of Secret Wars --the latest in a long line of mega-crossover events designed to bleed comic-book fan's bank accounts dry-- Marvel is planning a publisher-wide reboot. Histories will be retconned, continuity reshuffled and new characters brought into the merry Marvel mix. This will allow Marvel to trim the fat, streamline their stories and, of course, release a whole raft of new number one issues.

So far, notable announcements include Southern Bastard's Jason Aaron on a new ongoing Doctor Strange series, Jeff Lemire's Storm-fronted Extraordinary X-men, Al Ewing's New Avengers, A Peter Parker starring new Spidey ongoing that looks a helluva lot like Batman Incorporated, and Daredevil going full-on Mr. Miyagi under new writer Charles Soule.
