I know this is a little late because the issue comes out tomorrow and I'm trying to decide if I want to get it. I haven't read a Marvel "Event" in God knows how long. So what's the buzz about this event and at 6.00 is it going to be worth it. Now with that said I don't know any comic coming out now is worth 6.00, but if there is enough interest on this board I may be swayed to give at least 1 issue a read. But if this isn't worth 6.00 give me some recommendations on this weeks books to spend that 6.00

Early reviews: Heroes Reborn #1 (2021)I'm still on the fence. I will skim the book at my comic shop on Thurs. If I buy it I will post my thoughts. BTW the first issue is 56 pages. Remaining issues are $5 at 40 pgs. |

I have zero interest in another temporary alternate universe. Hard Pass for me.

I flipped through it at my LCS yesterday. Close to the hardest pass I can give.

I skimmed thru it at the comic store. wildfire2099 description appears on point. And Blade is the main character that seems to know that the world isn't "right". We know how it will end so it's the journey and how it's told that will decide if the story is good. I'm still on the fence. I am going to trade wait and get it if the final reviews are good. |

I ended up grabbing a copy.
It was entertaining, and I suspect if I'd read Aaron's Avengers I would have probably gotten more out of it.
I don't know if it was quite worth the money but then again, I don't know if much on the stands really is anymore.

I actually really enjoyed it, but then, I've been enjoying the recent Avengers run, too. I just hope someone eventually addresses the long dangling plot thread of whatever happened to the Earth-616 Nighthawk, since nobody seems remotely bothered by the fact that he appears to have been replaced lately by a completely different Kyle Richmond...

For a moment there, I thought you were referring to the "Heroes Reborn" from the '90s.
Can't they stop reusing old titles from decades ago? Show some creativity. Jesus Christ.

The name reuse (I assume) is more about maintaining trademarks than lack of creativity. Not that it's less annoying  |

Not that it's less annoying Well that and long-term Marvel and DC consumers have shown repeatedly through speaking with their wallet they don't support new ideas of concepts and only buy those ideas and concepts that they have been buying for years or that scratch a nostalgic itch, and as for Heroes Reborn in particular, we have moved forward in tome enough that 90s nostalgia is a major selling point in lots of pop culture mediums right now, regardless of whether what they are nostalgic for was any good to begin with. As long as comic consumers vote with their dollars to support retread ideas, Marvel and DC will retread ideas. The big 2 are reactive publishers not proactive innovators. Comics has always been a reactive medium, that's why the super-hero genre exists, two guys pitched a new idea of costumed heroes that sold and everyone jumped on that bandwagon and have been doing so for over 80 years. -M |

I just wish I knew who was buying this dreck so we could get them to cut it out so we could get some innovation Look at a Diamond sales chart for any month over the last 30-40 years and see what sells. It's not a small fraction of the customer base, it is the larger silent majority who don't post on forums and such, but just order and buy their books (pretty much the same books) over and over again. Look at how hot books like Spawn are right now (both in new issue sales and back issue sales. Look at all those collectors who keep buying books just so they won't have a hole in their runs. Look at all those customers who jump on event after event after event to keep them at or near the tops of sales charts month after month and keep the comic retailers ordering them. It's the vast majority of what is left of the direct market super-hero customer base, not an isolated group. They don't want to cut it out, it's why they buy comics and it it wasn't there, they wouldn't buy the new concepts, they would just stop buying comics and then there would be no market at all for new ideas as there would not be enough of a market left to sustain the direct market at all. Customers looking for new and innovative ideas are not buying monthly periodical comics for the most part. OGNs in the book trade sure, but not monthlies from the direct market. -M |
