"Back To The Future"...man, that would make a great movie title!
Now I thought the whole Marvel 2099 was not that well thought of? hmm. How can you bring it back then and get people to buy copies?
No idea -wait! A CROSS-OVER!!
Ahem. From Marvel.com:
Not even the tomorrow of the Marvel Universe will be safe when Secret Wars hits.
When SPIDER-MAN 2099 gives way to SECRET WARS 2099 this May, the future we've known gets rocked as one of the Warzones! While some familiar faces remain, others get a drastic makeover.
Before the upheaval, we've catalogued what we know about 2099 and its most prominent players to date, in anticipation of their world behind turned inside out...

Secret Wars 2099 (2015) #1
When everything ends, it’s time to go back to
the future. Revisit the world of 2099 and see it a whole new light, as
characters who have never been seen before make their first appearances –
including the AVENGERS 2099. Can the ideal of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes
survive in a world where megacorporations rule with an iron fist?
Have no fear -it survives and gets to #2! (and I'm guessing beyond that)
Secret Wars 2099 (2015) #2
Secret Wars continues as The Avengers of the
Year 2099 come face to face with a tremendous beast who’s no stranger to
the team! Who could it be? We’ll give you a hint – you won’t like him
when he’s angry.
Is it Irving Forbrush?
meh. I may buy the trade...or not.
I don´t remember much of the 2099 line. My brother read the X - MEN 2099 book ( good art by Ron Lim ) and I had the first year´s worth of RAVAGE 2099 mostly because of artist Paul Ryan but most other books were rather - meh.
ReplyDeleteThe only exception was SPIDER - MAN 2099, one of the few home runs of Peter David´s comics ouevre. Normally I am not that big a fan of Rick Leonardi but he set the tone for the style of the book. After a few issues you couldn´t imagine anyone else drawing it and even guest artists like Kelly Jones didn´t look half as good. And Miguel O´Hara was a latino Spider - Man long before Miles Morales ( and he didn´t live in an alternate universe ).
As for Marvel´s new version of SECRET WARS the only books I´m going to check out are the ones by Alan Davis and Carlos Pacheco as they at least promise some good art. I´ll probably wait for the hardcover collection. Aside from that I´m reading the original SECRET WARS II Omnibus which I just wnet and bought. There are some nuggets in there that surprised me but hey, you only have one life.
I got the Marvel Age mag that promoted Marvel comics and they had the 2099 stuff in that. Nothing impressed me. Too many X-Men titles, too many Spider titles and now enough Avengers books to cover a small country. Ridiculous -it really is just money money money. I still can't get over DC saying the Crime Syndicate and Batman and Superman One Million were "the heroes of Crisis on Infinite Earths". I have Secret Wars 1 and 2 but not the big collected books! Spider Manliving in an alternate Universe....I am so glad I have no idea what you mean! Davis and Pacheco....still ain't buying the comics. MAYBE I'll get the trades but I'm not excited at all. It'll all be rebooted again.....
