This is a fairly terrible list. The placements are pretty off with guys like Ronan & even Thanos not even worth placing on such a list yet. There has been way too little of Thanos, & Ronan was flat out terribly & lazily written. Kingpin being any less than no. 2 is laughably ridiculous. Only he and Loki have been given such a depth to be regarded so highly. That is not say others haven't been done well or decent enough. Ward & Jiaying are nice editions. I was quite fond of Ultron, Pierce, & Red Skull even though they could have done a better job with fleshing them out. I think Killian & Abomination would have been better choices to stick on instead of Ronan & Thanos.

I like most of what I'm reading though I'm absolutely disappointed there won't be any SWORD involvement. I don't really see any decent reason for that.

I have no interest in reading a Batman Beyond set in the main universe let alone w/o Terry. I wish the series by Higgins was still going on.

Its canon. Its post Secret Wars. Marvel has been coy about it, but it was already revealed by Remender in a e-mail answer he gave to someone asking him about it.

@space4rentt: Its in continuity and post-Secret Wars.

@arturocalakayvee:

That is my problem as well. Really hope this line-up doesn't last past Secret Wars.

Thought this was pretty obvious.

Well of course. As the fans are busy complaining about each other are they spending less time complaining about Marvel. I'm actually half serious here. You pretty much hit the mark all around. They aren't changing OMD/BND. If they ever do it be long after the current group of people in charge are gone or at least lost quite a bit of power. The fact that Slott is writing and still likely to be the writer of Spider-man post Secret Wars is sort of even more proof no real change is coming.

@51stpresidentofplanetneutral:

If you're wondering why some aren't big on Slott writing this its probably because he doesn't particularly care for the marriage and kind of dislikes MJ as her existence makes it harder for him to write a love interest people might accept with Peter in the current comics.

That is bs double talk from Alonso. Same way he keeps claiming this isn't going to be a reboot which unless everything goes back to the way it was pre-SW, it technically is on some level. In truth I imagine a lot of what might stick around post-SW will be based around the sales.

Unless it does massive sells, its probably just another Secret Wars What If story.
