Why MARVEL NOW POINT ONE is Immediately Better than MARVEL POINT ONE

October 19th, 2012

Rich Johnston points out that The Age of Ultron makes a surprise appearance in this week’s Marvel NOW! Point One, and in doing so, reminded me of this question: Now that we’re in Marvel NOW! territory, are we ever likely to see continuations for the Watcher storyline or the Coldmoon/Dragonfire short from the last Point One oneshot? I suspect that the Watcher one, at least, may be a moot point considering its writer (Ed Brubaker) has left Marvel for creator owned lands – See also Captain America’s flashforward to a seeming Martian invasion at the end of Captain America: Rebirth -  but the Coldmoon/Dragonfire thing seems like a particularly odd loose end to have dangling out there for so long…

Although, if nothing else, having three sections of Point One go unfinished for so long (Age of Ultron being the third) does give an automatic upgrade to the Marvel NOW! Point One special issue: At least we know where and when all those shorts are going to be continued.

    This is the real reason Marvel doubled orders for retailers last year at no extra cost. They know half the stories wouldn’t see print in 2012 like they originally said :)
