I've noticed that a lot of the new titles coming out have this "extreme" vibe to them that a lot of the early-to-mid 90s Marvel titles had:     Is this a direction we really want to see Marvel go? Granted, in the 90s there was still some great non "extreme" titles coming from Marvel. But more-often than not, many titles that could have potentially been good, fell into the trap of more style over substance. I just hope that history doesn't repeat itself. On a side note, we're also seeing MANY titles become mutant-heavy, much like the 90s as well.

I don't feel the titles are becoming mutant heavy, I feel like Marvel is actually tightening up their universe and including all the characters into that same universe. We're starting to see Xavier's dream really, no longer will Mutants be so segregated under their own "X-titles". Everything's being mashed together. Why wouldn't mutants and meta-humans defend the earth/fight crime side by side? It'll makes sense to me.

It'll makes sense to me. +1 to that!

X-treme? No. Is this the directin I want Marvel to go? No. Do I want my mutants mixing with everybody else? Don't really care, but my Uncanny has to be X not A.

The mutant-heavy thing was more of an after-thought. Simply me thinking, hey that's like the 90s too. My focus was more on the "extreme". The overuse of black, red, guns, and leather. That's what I don't want to see Marvel turn into. I REALLY don't want to see more style over substance. Mutants aren't as big of deal, as long as every book out there doesn't turn into soap-opera esque drama like the X-Men books are (who's in love with who, who's feeling down on themselves for being a mutant, who's who's daddy, etc.).

If these covers are any indication, then it will lighten my monthly load. The last thing we need is another preposterous blend of characters, sloppy but "hazardous" storylines and the usual plethora of thoughtless dialog... aka the 90s. Extreme, indeed.

For my fin, I think I'd suffer an embolism if I came across a single soap opera element in any of today's books the way they have been turning out lately, so perhaps I'm reading the wrong books? Hopefully, Marvel Now will bring something refreshing to my inbox, but I have plenty of doubts.

I really don't have a "dog in this race" since my only Marvel title is Hawkeye, but after I looked through the last couple of Previews guides, it is easy to see that Marvel is "betting the farm" on a new look, new titles, new artists/writers, etc. Kinda reminds me of DC's Amalgam crap back in the 90's.
And...all of the books (or basically all) are 4 bucks each. Not interested.
Winter is coming...

I really could care less who's in love with who, reading through a bunch of poor me junk because someone's a mutant, or other such stuff. I liked the X-Men when they acted like superheroes. I get it, they aren't really supposed to be super-heroes, they're supposed to be symbols to mutantkind and all of that; but it's just not my cup of tea anymore.

People think its cool to carry big guns, swords, and be dressed in black leather while fighting crime. The days of the good guy wearing white and the bad guy in black are over. Marvel is trying to be hype but I dont like it at all. I also dislike mixing the X-Men into the Avengers. I liked the whole race thing that the mutants had to deal with over the years. I dont want to see Captain America fighting Apocalypse or Wolverine taking on Thanos. I really dont like where Marvel is going right now which is why I cancelled all my Marvel's but All New X-Men and Superior Spiderman.
My Pull List
Marvel: All New X-Men, Avengers, New Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, Uncanny X-Men, Superior Spiderman, Indestructible Hulk, Thor: God of Thunder, Guardians of the Galaxy.
DC: Aquaman, Batman, Batman: The Dark Knight, Detective Comics, Earth 2, Green Lantern, Justice League, Justice League of America, Savage Hawkman, Superman.
