Quite a few articles about it, everything is being rebooted, all new #1's for everyone and new stories.. but if the teaser art is any indication.. did they get lazy in drawing everything?

Ive noticed Marvel's art seems to be pretty shoddy these days as a whole. There are exceptions to be sure, but man I'm so tired of the dark minimalist approach many artists use.

Here's another preview


I prefer the minimal look. It's clean and it doesn't look too busy. I hate the classic covers, like the Magneto one in-game. The shading lines are very distracting to me.

Let's see who we've got here...

Thing, yeah. Horror film Human Torch. Rocket Raccoon giving us the finger, classic. Wolverine and...uh...Wolvereen? Wolverina?

Hrm. Buccaneer America. Pretty sure the guy in the green hoodie is from Infamous. And if I'm not mistaken, that's Lando Calrissian in the upper right, casting magic and wielding a battle axe, I am totally on board.

You...understand that this one artist isn't going to be drawing every single Marvel title from now on? It's just a standard piece of generic promo art.

Nothing is being rebooted either by the way.

Ah... to have a completely refreshed MPQ based on these 55-60 characters, etc., etc., etc.

Anyway...

why refresh MPQ when you can just add 60 more characters?

X-23 is getting promoted, I assume.

Buccaneer America.

Citizen V

Doctor Doom (probably "hacker Dr. Doom" from the new movie).

Lando Calrissian in the upper right, casting magic and wielding a battle axe

Doctor Strange.

Did no one ever tell you not to dissect a joke?

Strangely, it's been confirmed that it's actually Karnak, not Doom.

Looks like they are getting serious with the Inhumans

Marvel is not-so-subtlely pushing Mutants out(See agents of shield, the Maximoff siblings) and pushing Inhumans in. I don't know if they'll have the balls/ovaries to declare mutants an alternate universe, but that's one theory

May be leading to a new type of Civil War..

Also, with the new Infinity Gauntlet having started, and secret wars concluding, Mutants may end up being ret-conned into seeded inhumans.

I started off with notsureifserious! Someone was just asking for Vandal Savage to be added to the game, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE?

I wouldn't say the artwork is terrible. The "posters" look clean, more cartoon-like. Even if that carries into the new universe, it wouldn't be tragic. There are enough artists out there that we should get some diversity.

Was it confirmed to be Johnny? Because the darkened tint makes for more of a semblance with Roberto da Costa, aka Sunspot, than it does with Torch...

Feasible it could be Sunspot, haven't seen it mentioned either has him or Johnny anywhere. The flames look like they're surrounding his body/behind him and over his hands, which fits Sunspot to an extent, Johnny's more whole body on fire. Sunspot's been in the Avengers for a quite a while AFAIK as well despite being a mutant.

Could be a whole separate character entirely though

It's Inferno, another Inhuman that they've been pushing hard lately.
