Marvel Announces 'All-New Marvel Now plus New INVADERS and INHUMAN Series

New jumping one points for new series are coming up again.

Today Marvel has announced that due to the success of Marvel Now, an initiative offering new "entry points" into their characters, they are doing it once again. It all begins on December 24 with AVENGERS #24. This second wave will continue through April and will launch new books for January including INHUMAN (by Matt Fraction and Joe Madureira) and ALL-NEW INVADERS (by James Robinson and Steve Pugh).

No Caption Provided

INHUMAN will focus on what happens when a large population of people are exposed to a mist (Terigen Mists, we can assume). Those exposed become powerful Inhumans.

Captain America will be teaming up with his old WWII buddies in ALL-NEW INVADERS.

No Caption Provided

Along with Cap, the series will have Namor, Bucky Barnes (as the Winter Soldier) and the original Human Torch. They won't be revisiting old war adventures as Cap's team has to fight off the Kree Empire as they try to "rediscover a device that can control gods and create an unstoppable army."

@wwajfan: They actually did a half decent job of addressing the continuity thing in Uncanny Avengers a couple issues ago. IDK if you're reading that book, but if you're not I'd recommend it.

But I would like to see that Venom relaunch also.

@kilowog52: He turned up alive, somehow. His perceived death did allow Steve to smoothly transition back to being the main captain america, while Bucky went back to his old job. Then a bunch of craziness happened which lead to Bucky getting his own Limited series, Winter Soldier. Comic Vine made a huge deal about when it came out too. I read it and I think it actually did live up to the hype CV gave it.

In a side note, DC is on time-out for me after that Batwoman fiasco. Homophobic or not, that book was too good to ruin with executive meddling.

Wait! Didn't Bucky die in Fear Itself? I'm really behind on my Marvel stuff. I really don't see the point of having a book called Inhumans about humans powered by the Terrigen Mists when there's the actual Inhumans to write about. Or were they killed off in some recent even I haven't read yet? The Invaders title could have a lot of potential, especially with Robinson on it. Even his The Shade mini was phenomenal. I'd really like to get deeper into Marvel, but am already putting all my effort into maintaining my stance in the DC world. I'm not even sure what Marvel series are coming and going, and who is writing them. Does Marvel still have Brian Michael Bendis and/or Mark Millar?

Marvel is headed to an endgame in which Aunt May lazily pushes herself up in bed and declares to Uncle Ben who has just emerged from the shower, "I just had the strangest dream..." (a la Dallas).

Oh look an all male team thats going to go unnotice by everybody.... but as soon as an all female team comes people will complain.

These actually sound really intresting but yeah.

Fearless defenders, X-men both all female teams. No one complained. Actually most praised Marvel for such a bold move in a male dominated hobby.

Also Birds of Prey another female only team that was awesome.

Getting new jumping on points is always a good thing.

Just one question: What makes the Inhumans stories (powered humans) different and compelling compared to the X-Men stories (powered humans)?

Not much. The Inhumans are alot like Earth Mutants.

Not only is there a new Invaders series, but James Robinson is writing it, with Steve Pugh on art? Curses, I need to scrounge together some money for another book.

Inhumans with Jim Hammond the Human Torch! Sounds awesome but wait Robinson the guy who wrote that awful "I like Toffee apples" from Cry for Justice. I will need to wait for reviews. Wow an Inhumans comic sound awe- wait Fraction is on this well I lost interest rabidly fast.

So...is "All-New" the title they're gonna use whenever they're having a classic line-up/concept in present day..? All-New X-Men (which is amazing, mind you) and now All-New Invaders... xD

Its nice to see that the Avengers hasn't massively reorganised...if the cover indeed is reflective of the roster.

That is the real roster but there is also still 5 or so Avengers teams that they are all broken up into.

As interesting Invaders looks and as much as I like Pughs art - and thing bothers me a bit: why would Cap forgive Namor after the events of AvsX, but not Scott, Emma and Magik (even though I don't followed every Marvel Event since then, and I dont now image Colossus has in the MU, too).

Invaders sounds cool but Inhumans sounds stupid, it sounds like any X-Men title but now they are from space.

I know that, but that doesn't make it better. I assumed that Toro & Bucky were original Invaders because they were sidekicks of Captain America & Human Torch..how does it make sense now? Captain America is no longer grooming him as a hero, Winter Soldier is his own entity. Cap is already all over the Marvel Universe, Winter Soldier doesn't have that luxury. Why not use the new Invaders book to help promote Winter Soldier instead of making him take a backseat to Cap..AGAIN! It's stuff like this that makes me think "what was the point of even creating Bucky?" If he's never going to make any real progress and everything in that direction will just be overshadowed by whatever Cap is doing, why did they bother bringing him back? Why did they waste the retcon to bring back a character they don't have any intention of developing properly?

Joe Mad will probably do like the first arc then after that, Inhumans will go to guest artists. I'm willing to bet anything. And Invaders I'm psyched for because..well, its Robinson, and I hate the bad blood he ended up with when he left DC.

Inhumans = X-men. Is it really necessary to add this to the Marvel Universe just because Marvel doesn't have the live action rights to the X-men and wants to make an X-men movie?

@johnny_spam: was thinking the same thing. But it's cool to see Robinson playing in the golden age character sandbox again, albeit with marvel instead of dc's once upon a time legacy characters.

Meh Ive always hated the Inhumans so I definitely wont be picking that up. Shame Joe Mad is being wasted on it though. Invaders could be cool though. But how much do you want to bet that neither of those titles will make it to issue 12? I see them canceled relatively quickly. They may make it a bit further but I dont see them making it further than 20.

All New Invaders sounds pretty f*cking awesome. It looks like it has the potential to be my favorite Marvel series. Also that Avengers cover is beautiful.

Both look really interesting.

Especially Invaders (Inhumans,too)
