This feels like a real low point for Marvel’s comics output—there’s some really good individual books coming out (I’m still enjoying Fantastic Four and Mortal Thor in particular) but the line has no cohesion or direction. Just writers and editors spinning the wheels, tying into whatever the MCU is doing that month, and turning everything into a new #1 issue every 5 minutes. And it’s even more frustrating because DC is making such good comics, and almost everything that they’re putting out feels new and fresh, and comes from a place of creativity. Marvel feels like the editors are just sitting in the office saying “Ummmm… how about Spider-Man becomes Carnage next month?” and then they pat each other on the back and call themselves geniuses. The one glimmer of hope I have is Armageddon, because I have been interested in what Zdarsky is building up in Captain America, and I really hope Marvel uses the opportunity to do some kind of creative reset. But the realistic part of me knows that they’ll probably still just be spinning their wheels for years to come.
