Marvel is clearly getting ready to announce a string of new Marvel NOW! books with a new teaser hitting the web today (seen here), but not only did we get that teaser today but a rumor ended up in the MC offices. A rumor from an anonymous source, but a credible one none the less. And with that single piece of information, we were able to extrapolate some additional information.
Or, more specifically: we may be able to tell you four upcoming books and creative teams from Marvel. What do we have?
- “Nova” by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness (an old rumor, but a good one)
- “Guardians of the Galaxy” by Brian Michael Bendis and Steve McNiven possibly (since bringing back one Cosmic book means bringing back the other — oh, and there’s that upcoming movie)
- “Young Avengers” by Kieron Gillen with Kid Loki on the team (or something along those lines — Kieron will almost assuredly still be writing Kid Loki post-“JiM” finale)
- “X-Force” by Dennis Hopeless and Gabriel Hernandez Walta, starring Cable
Two of those are creative line-ups we’re willing to put money down, at least in terms of the writer if not the artist and one of them is as close to a sure thing as we’re willing to go. Anyone willing to place any bets?
Whether any of this is correct and whether or not it’s an ongoing or a mini is yet to be determined. Keep your eyes peeled, though.
