Geekscape Comics: Marvel Shaking Up Their Creative Teams Post-AvX

by Shawn Madden

For months we’ve been hearing about all the changes in creative teams post-AvX. The main one that Bendis would be leaving all ‘Avengers’ titles.

Well, Bleeding Cool is posting some interesting rumors floating around the ol’ water cooler.

-Rick Remender and Jeremy Opena on an Avengers book? New Avengers maybe?

-Mark Waid takes over Avengers Assemble?

-Jonathan Hickman and Essad Ribic on either Uncanny X-Men or the Avengers books that’s not the one Remender and Opena are on?

– Kieron Gillen and Greg Land on Iron Man.

– Matt Fraction and Salvador Larocca are sticking together… wherever they end up.

– Only the very best artists for a Brian Bendis cosmic relaunch…(Guardians Of The Galaxy…duh)

It also appears that Matt Fraction and Salvador Larocca may just be taking over Fantastic Four and Hickman and Esad Ribic will replace Bendis on Avengers post-AvX.

Astonishing X-Men to Feature Northstar/Kyle Wedding in Issue #51

by Shawn Madden

Well, if you’ve been seeing the promos and you’ve been wondering “Wow…who is getting married in Astonishing X-Men?” well…you’re the only one.

Marvel seems to be one upping DC yet again. DC announced this week that one of their characters would be coming out as gay. Well..Marvel has been there and done that (Rictor and Shatterstar for those behind on the times) and they’re going the next step.

In issue #51 we will see Kyle and Northstar tie the knot. Well that is…unless someone comes to ruin the day in the typical comic fashion.

 

From Marvel Editor in Chief Axel Alonso:

“The Marvel Universe has always reflected the world outside your window, so we strive to make sure our characters, relationships and stories are grounded in that reality. We’ve been working on this story for over a year to ensure Northstar and Kyle’s wedding reflects Marvel’s ‘world outside your window’ tradition.”
