MARVEL’S "ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT” UNIVERSE: WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR
Following last night's reveal of the first teaser for the "All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe," a number of interviews with Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso have popped up online -- like at Entertainment Weekly, NY Post, USA Today -- that feature more insight into what's in store for the MU post-"Secret Wars." Here's a rundown of what we know so far about what's coming up for the House of Ideas.
"All-New, All-Different Marvel" will feature around 60 new #1s, all designed to be jumping-on points for new readers.
These new #1s will take place eight months after the end of "Secret Wars" and feature very different status quos for the characters: "[W]hen we pick up after the event with #1s, the goal is that some time will have past and all your favorite characters will be in a new place," teased Alonso.
There will be an all-new Hulk: "I’ll go ahead and tell you the Marvel Universe is about to see the arrival of an All-New Hulk -- not a Hulk that you’ve seen before," Alonso told EW. "And this development is deeply rooted in story. I am personally excited about it and its ramifications and it’s a fascinating story that I think Bruce Banner fans will definitely want to read."
A new Spider-Man and Wolverine will also emerge: "You’ll also see the arrival of a new Spider-Man in the Marvel Universe and you’ll also see -- spoiler alert -- a Wolverine emerge on the scene," said Alonso. "I’m not going to say who, but a Wolverine that is certain to provoke reactions."
Additionally, Iron Man will sport a new suit of armor.
The line makeover will see the high profile return of Red Wolf, a Native American Marvel character from the '70s who will play a part in the upcoming "Secret Wars" series "1872."
New additions won't be limited to just characters, as Alonso told NY Post: “Look for an influx of really fun, new stuff in the Marvel Universe. It could be an artifact of great power. It could be a region.”
Ms. Marvel will remain a vital part of the Marvel U: “She [Kamala Khan] is Peter Parker for the 21st century,” Alonso told EW. “Peter Parker can be a 16-year-old Pakistani girl from Jersey City. If her story is universal, then people are going to come and read it. If it feels true, if it resonates, people are going to come.”
Creators involved include Brian Michael Bendis, Jason Aaron, Mark Waid, Dan Slott, Charles Soule, G. Willow Wilson and Jeff Lemire
The Marvel Universe will be shifting towards a season model reminiscent of TV: "I think that the comics industry -- certainly, we are -- slowly working into a season model that’s not too unlike what we see in our favorite cable TV shows: a seasonal model that offers accessible entry points for new readers and is respectful of long-term fans," explained Alonso. "We did Marvel NOW! and All-New Marvel NOW!, which were both two very successful campaigns. And this is the latest campaign."
