Marvel has released two new teaser images for characters following SW:  That's Agent Coulson behind Black Panther (with Spider-Woman to his side), Steve is still wizened, and that's Red Wolf beside Ms. Marvel!  That's Dr. Spectrum from Hickman's NA run, Zemo's 'Citizen V' from Thunderbolts, Karnak is wearing the hoodie, Thing (apparently) joins the Guardians, DD in darker threads, X-23 (a female clone of Logan) adopts his costume, Old Man Logan (apparently) joins the mainstream universe, and why Doctor Strange is carrying a battle axe is beyond me. Still no official confirmation if that is indeed Tony within the armor, but man, what better proof do you need that Iron Man is now the Official Marvel Mascot. |

Smells like another lame reboot ala Heroes Reborn.....
Wake me up when it's over and they put the heroes I love from the good old days back in the comic books...
until then it's just Star Wars, Darth Vader, and Back Issue magazine for my pull-list.
sincerely,
starfoxxx

Wow, and they couldn't even spring for a different Iron Man image for the second logo, either-- just cut & paste the first one. All deeper issues with this unappealing mulligan stew of histories, identities, and continuities aside, I honestly don't have much of a problem with Iron Man stepping up as the official Marvel Mascot. Tastes and popularity do evolve over time. How long has it been since DC passed that mantle from Superman to Batman? Many years, to be sure. And I don't think it's the first time at Marvel, either. It was Spidey for-EVER, with a couple of brief periods where Conan and the Hulk became the company's more visible characters, and then finally I think Spidey was clearly eclipsed by all things X-Related, and Wolverine became the front-and-center Marvel poster boy for many, many years. It's probably kinda smart to designate that mascot throne as more of a musical-chair in order to respond more quickly to trends in fan popularity (Ha! That's the kind of thinking that would have warmed ol' Martin Goodman's heart, I daresay!) HB |

I'm glad they didn't use the usual Iron Man pose, of him after landing with his right arm hitting the ground. I'm kinda tired of seeing that particular image.
There's going to be quite a few Spiders running around though. Peter, Miles the Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman, Silk is probably still running around as well, maybe even Spider-Man 2099.
Interesting, the Thing's costume here reminds me somewhat of his costume from his 80s solo title by Bryne, where Ben decided to stay on that other Battleworld.
