Formerly known by names including "Atlas" and "Timely", Marvel Entertainment is the publisher of comic books featuring iconic characters and teams such as the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Captain America and Daredevil. Currently owned by the Walt Disney Company, Marvel is one of the "Big Two" comic publishers along with DC Comics.
Maybe this will solve Marvel's/Fox's issue with replacing Huge Jackman in the movies? I'd be fine with X-23 being introduced in the films and taking on the Wolverine mantle.

HELLS yeah. In fact I'd use WolverThree as a passing of the torch; a way to let Jackman retire from the franchise while introducing a young actress (c.16-17) as X to take his place.
does anyone find it weird that both dc and marvel took a green lantern knock off and tossed them into the biggest team books each have? dr spectrum and the power ring chick we got from the end of forever evil. oh yeah and speaking of forever evil we also had axis. pretty much the same thing. oh and speaking of same things convergence and mother mothin secret wars going on at the same time what the heck is goin on!! They are writing the same stuff over and over and over again.
I like x-23 as the new Wolverine but... she needs a haircut. She would look so good with short hair. She could be like Jack from Mass Effect or Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury ROad (+)
I don't really like the Daredevil look to be honest.
I do like the look of X-23, however I feel like she is her own character and shouldn't just become the new Wolverine. I can understand her wanting to pay tribute to Wolverine, but she doesn't have to wear his whole costume to do that.
I'm still not excited in the slightest by this reboot in the slightest. I am a huge X-Men and Daredevil fan so I really do hope that Marvel surprise me and produce something that is great, however from a lot of the rumours i have been hearing so far it doesn't seem I will like what is coming. Hopefully I am proved wrong.
X-23 as Wolverine (when he returns though will she choose a new name though?)
Starlord Survives
Medusa and Dante survive
The Thing joins the Guardians (please mean Carol can come back to Earth)
My unsure list:
Dr Spectrum (I loved her previous appearance but curious how outside of that role will work)
Dr Strange finds a battle axe
Citizen V (no idea who that is)
Karnak's new outfit (did he get exposed to the Mist and hates his new look or something)
Think I Dislike but it may grow on me:
Daredevils new look
Starting to find annoying:
The who is Ironman stuff (don't know enough to form an opinion on the character yet though, just saying I don't like the marketing... especially since I don't really like that armors design)
So if X-23 is now Wolverine does this mean she's just another female counterpart? It would be better if Marvel, like in the past, would make her her own character and not just some lame offshoot of her dominate male counterpart. She's probably one of the few female mutants who is a copy of a man unlike Jean Grey, Strom, Rouge, Psylocke, Sage, Dust, Dazzler, Jubilee, Mystique, and this list of mutant women with no male predecessors goes on.
Its no different from when Dick Grayson became Batman.
I really think Ben hanging with the guardians makes sense. Hes an astronaut, a pilot and pretty badass. Why not giving him stuff to do in space?
As for old man logan...think maybe hell be more professor logan maybe? But i kind of dislike theyre transforming all my favorite character in to geriatric dudes...but it could be just theyre trying to make expendibles comic...
Both of these posters have impressed me, and I wanted X-23 to become the new Wolverine ever since Logan died, I'm gunna be picking up a lot of new issues
Strange with an axe... knowledge is his weapon. Words of power and all that. Just seems kind of unnecessary and reminds me of an 80s action figure ("How can we sell more? Unnecessary accessories!!!) - still, not prejudging it just on that.
The Inhumans aren't working still. Attilan Rising is probably the best thing they've been involved in so far (so there's some hope there), but... generally it seems they're not connecting. And making so many of the Nuhumans direct (and lesser) analogues of the FF and the X-Men isn't helping make them stand out. As much as Marvel parrots "Game of Thrones... Game of Thrones..." about the Inhumans brand and titles, I've yet to see much about them that helps them find their own unique niche in the Marvel universe. Still - Marvel are committed to seeing them through, so fingers crossed!
Things that need to happen:
Hyperion needs a new costume that doesn't scream "Nuclear Baby".
@crimz: @avenging_x_bolt: The point of the Guardians was to show that earth wasn't the be all and end all and the whole universe didn't need to revolve around it.
No! I'm actually excited about Doctor Spectrum from the Great Society(here's to hoping she's not the only character from that team to make it into the the Marvel U), but no for īńç4s sake no to X-23!
Wow these promos are making it a little too obvious about Marvel's agenda to try and promote properties they own the film rights to. I wish Marvel weren't being so petty about it just because of a few high ranking execs' opinions on the matter.
So, one thing I noticed, that despite Strange picking up an Axe, he also appears to have been de-aged. Perhaps closer to his Ultimate appearences than his normal 616 appearences?
It's not a case of the opinions of execs, either. It's a case of what pays the bills - comics are based on sales and are a business - they need to make money. If you're sending money to someone else then you're killing your company, equally, if they put a lot of stock into an FF comic and the film COMPLETELY tanks, then it will reflect on the sales. So it's a prudent business move to try and split up the characters, maintain a presence, in the FF case, but keep them away from the FF brand for a bit.
It'll all come around again, it always does.
As Waid said in Kingdom Come "Ours is a Cyclical Story"
@jonny_anonymous: exactly. I don't see how having. One or two earthlings on the team take away from that. Especially when each one of those characters (except Iron Man) is a good fit. I do agree that Bendis had too many at the same time though,
The only thing that excites me with this whole new Marvel universe is that Citizen V seems to be featured, I've always thought given his skills and equipment he has the making of a top hero.
@g_man: Person in upper left flying is Dr. Spectrum from the Great Society from an alternate earth, a version of Justice League that the New Avengers fought during an incursion, the first time Namor used the nuke to destroy a planet.
@jonny_anonymous: I'm not disagreeing with you, that's why I said it can't hurt to have maybe one or two earth characters at the if they make sense (Cap Marvel,Venom) and not guys like Iron Man.
I like it! I'm all for change, and as long as we get good stories out of it I'm good. Love Laura's new look, and Thing being on the Guardians is very cool. Old Man Logan in the Marvel U is going to be interesting.
I like the new look except the hair. It seems very out of place. Otherwise a great look
But if they cut the hair she would look a lot more to Wild Thing, the daughter of Logan/Elektra of Earth-982 (MC2)
Well, since I only read one MC2 issue that I found on my teacher´s desk (Spider-girl) and it blew my mind that Spider-Man has a daughter, and since my MC2 knowledge ends with Mayday, J2 and the fact that it was canceled.... I guess I´m one of those who would neither know nor care Also Is it just me, or does Medusa´s crotch bulge more than Starlord´s?
@donmeca2020: Considering how all female versions of the suit have historically looked, no. Marvel's not that subtle. Look at the recent Superior Iron Man cover to see my point.
Anyway, I'm leaning to past AI Tony. In the Avengers rolecall thingie they did for the teaser, Iron Man's description was "The new armor's a portable erector set, that will allow him to create anything he can conceive." Either it'll be a kind of Green Lantern rip-off, or the suit will alter it's shape.
