The Avengers are losing the Marvel Universe. For the first time in decades, the X-Men are replacing Earth's Mightiest Heroes—and it may be the biggest status quo shift since Bendis' New Avengers.
Marvel Comics has officially revealed its post-Avengers: Armageddon plans, and they point toward a dramatic shift in the Marvel Universe. The Avengers are falling out of favor with the public, the X-Men are stepping into the spotlight, and Marvel is finally putting serious creative talent behind its next flagship mutant series. Is this the shakeup Marvel desperately needed, or is it another attempt to manufacture excitement through events?
In this video, Wes breaks down Maximum X-Men, the surprising creative team of Christopher Yost and Tony Daniel, why Marvel appears ready to move beyond the Avengers as its premier franchise, and what this could mean for Iron Man, Captain Marvel, the Punisher, and the future of Marvel Comics. Could this finally mark the end of the Avengers era and the beginning of Marvel's next big switch?
