1000 issues of marvel comics ya big dummy!
This follows 999 if I'm not mistaken
Nigga fuck the numbers, where's the spoilers?
Remember Deadpool 1000 that then counted backwards each issue with Deadpool Team Up 999, Deadpool Team Up 998, and so on?
I kind of wished that kept going.
This, I want to see the pages, especially the George Perez and Walt Simonson's
There is none
I don't understand why they picked such a low number for a fake milestone
These. Bc as we all know, full printed pages often released before publishing date are called spoilers. This is a thing that happens in our zany business we like to call comics. So where are they?
Ms Marvel looks like she hanged herself and they photoshopped the rope out
Did you see the legacy numbering they did in the past and the bogus math they came up with? Did you see how they had Future Foundation's first series count towards F4 while still continuing as its own comic? Remember all the "#1" issues that were actually the first issue of an arc? Remember the renumberings for various characters in which the exact same creative team remained? Remember Captain Marvel and her dozens of relaunches? Marvel doesn't give a fuck they'll just slap any number on the cover that they feel will push sales.
Yeah I remember, which is why I asked. When the fuck was the last time Marvel Comics ran, or Marvel Comics Presents? Like '07 or something.
I want to know what convoluted path they took to get 1000.
postan variant covers. I like this one. 80s' chic.
Ditko from beyond the grave. I wonder how many hundreds of copies a shop has to order to get this one.
good cover
but I'm getting Allred as always
Theres going to be at least 33, so I've only got half of them to post.
Imagine paying money for something a kid with some scissors can do for you. Don't worry they're not the real comics, he printed the covers on printing paper.
its weird that they have gwen hear yet no miles, not that I'm complaining
There's no way they're just now hitting 1000 issues published over the course of 50 years.
this.
>50 years
It's 80, they're counting all the way back to Marvel Comics #1, Aug. 31 1939.
If you count every issue of ever comics they've made it should be over 30K or thereabouts, but this should just be the latest Marvel Comics issue, except Marvel Comics has go nowhere near those numbers, so who the fuck knows what they're counting.
I've heard two stories:
>They're pretending like Marvel Comics (the series that started in 1939, not the company) never ended, like Action Comics and Detective Comics.
>They're factoring in everything with "Marvel Comics" in the name (the 1939 series, Presents, Premiere, shit like that)
How come there are no previews/first look ? They made Ramos draw an exclusive cover for D23 or something like that, yet no page despite appearing next week.
they gave copies of it away last night to some folks at D23s marvel History panel.
I'm amazed there aren't scans of it already.
Yeah, it's strange. They did previews for HoX/PoX and Absolute carnage.
Still better than the Convergence variants.
>just below Silver Surfer
>not Iceman
Probably because they don't want to spoil the stories since each one is a page.

>1. The Return Of The Masked Raider
>Bleeding Cool already looked at the history of the Masked Raider or Masked Rider, and how that would lead to a new series for the character who predated Marvel Comics in prose and appeared in adapted form in Marvel Comics #1.
>2. It Begins With A Flame
>And there is lots of that original comic in Marvel Comics #1000. Marvel Comics – later Marvel Mystery Comics, was the first comic to use the name ‘Marvel’ that would one day name the company publishing it, and including the first appearances of the Human Torch, Ka-Zar and the Sub Mariner. And so Ewing with Steve Epting reprise the first time the Human Torch was shown to the Scientists Guild in Marvel Comics #1 in the first page, set in 1939. But how does this all join together?
>3. The Very First X-Men
>Page two, by Ewing and Patrick Zircher features The Ferret from Marvel Mystery Comics #4 in 1940 (shared with The Human Torch, Angel, Ka-Zar and Masked Raider) being visited by the Three Xs from Mystic Comics #1, published at the same time. Who also happen to be same people in the Scientists Guild.
>4. That’s Not All
>And later in Marvel Comics #1000, named as Dr. Jerome Hamilton, Maris Morlak, Professor Wladyslav Shinski, and Carlo Zota, otherwise known as the Enclave… and you may more readily recall what – or who – they got up to. Three separate groups, all the same people. But what are they after?
>5. The Eternity MacGuffin
>We mentioned the Masked Raider. And The Ferret. Turns out their black mask was the same mask, based along the lineage. Al Ewing’s stories mostly concentrate around the Eternity Mask throughout history. Real events, but also worn by the fictional. And worn by Marvel characters in medieval to modern times, including the Black Knight, Thunderer, Black Rider and more – the paucity of designs and printing definition in early comics is used as a strength here, with items and characters being reinterpreted as being the same one across companies and continuities. I reckon if Al Ewing would have had his way, it would have been worn by Zorro as well. And then catching up to the present and heading into the future…
6. You Can Go Back Again
Lots of people get to revisit what they once gave to the world, or pay homage to those no longer able to, and look for new takes.
Kieron Gillen and Doug Braithwaite revisit Loki for the year of the first Journey Into Mystery, with all the Lokis over the decades tempting each other. Whatever your favourite version he, or she, will be here.
Priest and Brian Stelfreeze from two Black Panther runs, get to criticise some of the superficial reactions to the Black Panther movie and the Wakanda Forever memes
Little Blackagar in Slumberland recreates the Inhumans via Winsor McCay by Jonathan Lethem, Everett Lethem, Desmond Lethem and Paul Hornschemeier.
The friendship of Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane is encapsulated from their storyteller Gerry Conway and Greg Land.
Roy Thomas with Rod Reis are recreating the moment of the creation of Wolverine – and all the hands that went into him.
Miracleman by Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham not interacting with Marvel Comics continuity – instead they are reading it. Similarly, Darth Vader’s appearance by Charles Soule and Terry Dodson bears no correlation to the rest of the story – or rather, at least as much as Gail Simone with David Baldeon celebrating Deadpool’s first appearance.
While Being Human creator Toby Whithouse and Alan Davis celebrate Dez Skinn, Richard Burton and David Lloyd‘s creation Night Raven seems to set up huge swatches of stories yet to be told – is there any chance they might?
Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw give a brand new take on one of Spider-Man’s most famous powers. While Joe Quesada revisits Daredevil and Marvel Knights with Kevin Nowlan, Peter David and Adam Kubert revisit their final issue of Hulk, Chris Claremont and Steve Larocca return to their X-Men story via Sage, Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung on Young Avengers while J Scott Campbell on Mary Jane revisits – and dismisses – *that*cover,
Oh and JMS has himself regretting Sins Past.
All this is just the tiniest of what Marvel Comics #1000 goes for. Not every page lands, but a hell of a lot of them do. And whatever level of Marvel Comics fan you are, you’ll regret not picking this up at the end of the month. Best make sure your store has a copy waiting aside…
>Priest and Brian Stelfreeze from two Black Panther runs, get to criticise some of the superficial reactions to the Black Panther movie and the Wakanda Forever memes
I refuse to believe this

Can we PLEASE have a hypercrisis thread once the issue comes out?
I believe it, Priest already made a Wakanda Forever joke in Deathstroke.
This is the cover I preordered, although I was tempted by
So Ewing is connecting Marvel Comics #1 and the Eternity Mask to Adam Warlock?
>I reckon if Al Ewing would have had his way, it would have been worn by Zorro as well.
I want to see this now.
>Oh and JMS has himself regretting Sins Past.
Really?
>Miracleman by Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham not interacting with Marvel Comics continuity – instead they are reading it. Similarly, Darth Vader’s appearance by Charles Soule and Terry Dodson bears no correlation to the rest of the story
Good, i was worried they were going for the easy cross-over and we already know those stuff turns out to be shit thanks to DDClock.
a few years too late to get the #SaveStorm crowd
When's Carol?
This represents everything I hate about this industry
>Oh and JMS has himself regretting Sins Past.
I hope he uses the chance to retcon everything away. Like, Norman faked the whole thing just to troll Peter, just like in the Clone Saga.
because claiming a fake #1500 or #2000 just to one up DC would have brought bad press, given than Detective and Action were "real" #1000.
Did the artist take out Alan scott gay kiss? That was hilarious.
When you shoot yourself.
Their #1000 is also fake.
>Stelfreeze
The idea is "what if Marvel Mystery Comics had continued monthly to this day instead of being cancelled at #159?" With the claim that it would result in #1000. Which isn't actually true. It comes out closer to #970. So it's "what if it never got cancelled and double-shipped for a few years.
>Which isn't actually true. It comes out closer to #970. So it's "what if it never got cancelled and double-shipped for a few years.
Action Comics and Detective Comics double-shipped for a while and that's why they reached 1000 so early. Hell, Action Comics was actually weekly at one point, and that's how it overtook Detective Comics even though AC started after.

Wait what?
based is what it is
It's just a one-page-one-shot so I doubt it'll have any bearing on canon.
>bringing weirdness back to Attilan
Awesome
I thought it was AC overtook DC because there was no DC during New 52
By this logic it makes no sense to ever buy a comic because you can print out the pages at home
>Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung on Young Avengers
This will only be great if they fucking ignore America Chavez. We know all the original team including Eli will be there. Gillen will write Loki so that's fine. It would've been awesome if Morrison had come back to write Marvel Boy at least one time but I can do it without him appearing. The only thing I ask is that Heinberg tells Miss America to fuck off.
There was Detective Comics published during the New 52.
After John Byrne quit the superbooks in the late 1980s, Action Comics was retooled as a weekly series featuring a bunch of characters in their own stories (Hal Green Lantern, Black Canary, Blackhawks, etc) for 48 weeks.
That's how it got ahead of Detective Comics
>It begins with the human torch
Hey he did the same thing in Avengers: No surrender. Sounds great, very meta.
They relaunched Marvel Comics Presents like 6 months ago
