Spider-Man, a shitload of X-Men, New/Secret/Avengers. With maybe a couple smaller books thrown in that'll get canceled almost immediately.

So … exactly like the DC relaunch that spiked their sales in such a way that the fifth issue of an Aquaman (!) comic is outselling the highest-selling Marvel title?

I'm not saying it would (will?) be good, quality-wise, but … it worked for DC. Which is why, if I were a betting man, I'd toss money on it happening sooner rather than later.

Not saying it won't be good, but DC didn't put out ONLY Batman and Superman books. They put out books for some characters that weren't well-known, needed help in the eyes of a consumer, existed in another universe and were more diverse.

But I just have this feeling that Marvel will only give us Spider-Man, Avengers and X-Men in their relaunch while letting other characters sort of stagnate and die.

Not saying this will happen, but it's just one of those naggy voices in the back of my mind. If Marvel wants to reboot, I will support them 100% (Because I do think that the Marvel universe needs to be a bit more streamlined) and I hope they put out some good books.
