52 has opened the world up to a diverse group of reader.
You have your;
supernatural: I, Vampire, Animal Man, Swamp Thing
Street level: Batman, Batwing, Deathsroke
Team books: JL, JLD, Birds of Prey
Space: Green Lantern, Red Lanterns
Superpowered: Wonder Woman, Superman, Captani Atom
Female leads: Batgirl, Batwoman, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Supergirl, Sword of Sorcery
Male leads: we already had the, it was about getting female books out
Loads of new creative talents male and female alike.
Introducing more characters from different races on the planet. So that the stereotypical readers are less and now more spread out from just the white guys.
Off the top of my head.

Great points, Marvel! Before I get started, let me just say I enjoy BOTH companies. One of my favorite things DC has done is the groupings for their new comics, especially the Dark line which has been phenomenal. But this post will be for the positives of Marvel Now. New Thor series: Great art, great new villain and Thor stories from 3 different eras. All-New X-Men: TBH, I thought this was going to be crap. But, I was wrong. You've got 2 camps of X-Men with different view points. Bendis has done a great job of un-villifying Cyclops and convincing the reader that what he's doing is for a noble cause. The opposing camp in the Jean Grey School believes he's going about things the wrong way and wants to stop him. Therefore, you've got 2 camps with differing views but both with enough valid arguments to make a case for themselves. It's simple and we also have a 3rd party thrown in the original X-Men. They serve as that unknown element which is greatly affecting both sides. Great stuff so far from Bendis and my favorite Marvel Now book. Avengers (Hickman) Hickman has taken the Avengers franchise and given it the proverbial BROWSER REFRESH. The new faces he's brought in are extremely interesting choices such as Cannonball, Sunspot, Hyperion, Lady Smasher and others. This series only has 2 issues in the books so I can't really elaborate due to it only having that under it's belt. I really like where it's going and have faith in Hickman to deliver. I'll add more as I read more of Marvel Now.  |

I heard that Hyperion is back. That is kind of cool depending on which one they are using.

Oh yeah. Another one.
Although not all of them are good. They introduce new villains on a wide scale.

I heard that Hyperion is back. That is kind of cool depending on which one they are using. I believe he is a completely new one. Hickman hasn't expanded much on him in the first two issues. |
