No. My point was that he originally was praising Marvel for not releasing any new # 1s

And I'll bet we'll start seeing some continuity glitches at Marvel in early-2013

actually his post you quoted says New no. 1s.. he shortened number to no. for some reason, if he was saying what you said he was saying it would have said No new 1s.

Wonder what's left to announce at SDCC?

I don't mind the renumbering that much, but I wish they'd put the volume number on each issue clearly, just to make it easier to arrange stuff.

I've always been fond of a date. "2012.07" for July books etc. Easy to tell what's fresh on the stands and a breeze for the cataloging.

D'oh !

I blame my lack of reading comprehension on this excessive heat



(and thank you for catching that)

Marvel NOW!, the publisher's latest initiative, is arguably its biggest sea change ever, with a relaunch or launch of more than 20 books, new costumes, new identities, new digital experiences for readers

Over 20 new number 1's. Oh boy!

getting rid of Uncanny X-Men is stupid

The Marvel NOW! initiative doesn't have a set number of books to it and will be comprised almost entirely of ongoing series. That means there will be quite a few new volumes and new Marvel titles coming in the months ahead, but no existing Marvel titles are being phased out to make room for the Marvel NOW! books.

"'Uncanny Avengers' is a completely new series. Brian's 'All-New X-Men' replaces or succeeds 'Uncanny X-Men' in the same way that 'New Avengers' succeeded 'Avengers.' And speaking of 'Avengers,' that book simply passed from Brian to Jonathan, and increases its frequency to twice-a-month," Brevoort explained. "For the most part, there'll be a one-to-one ratio with a lot of these titles, though there will be some other new entries launched as part of Marvel NOW! as well. And while one or two titles may be ending during this same period, that's an unconnected phenomenon."

it's just changing names really

[Stalzer2002]

It's a very creator-based and creator-oriented movement, even more than it is a story movement.

If this is true, I might just be buying a few superhero books again. I'm not holding my breath, though.

I'm going to give them a shot, but Hickman is not my cup of tea and the Avengers' books will be on a short leash

and, gratefully, writers

Happy to see Austen 2.0 go.
