On Fake Shocks And Real Changes in Marvel’s December ’12 Solicits

September 19th, 2012

To everyone freaking out over the LAST ISSUE notice on the solicit for Amazing Spider-Man #700: People, they already cancelled and relaunched the series once back in 1999. This is but a hiccup in the grand scheme of things, especially considering Marvel is in the middle of an announced period of relaunching important titles; last year’s cancellation of Uncanny X-Men was a bigger deal, all things considered.

The much more interesting and shocking thing about this month’s Marvel solicits is seeing the publisher switch their Castle tie-ins from OGN format to mini-series and seeing Kelly Sue DeConnick and Brian Michael Bendis replaced with Peter David for this latest go-around, personally. Guess Marvel really doesn’t like that OGN format after all.

(Also, go read Albert’s great speculation piece about what could be so big about Amazing Spider-Man #700. It’s good stuff.)
