Names For Beauty Clinic
start a new year and for months before had already announced a series of changes, new releases and cancellations of the Marvel line-Televisa for 2009. analysis can now "thorough " about these publications and we can expect about them.
.
WEEKLY SERIES
The weekly series will bring us in January and February, the end of the World War Hulk . If, finally comes to an end the WWH , that the truth has happened almost unnoticed by our country, which we could not wait any longer, because of its quality as regularzona round and far removed from its predecessor Planet Hulk. From March the miniseries will Illuminati, the super-secret Marvel and from April, as "expected", Secret Invasion that makes its appearance in our country, taking over the rest of the year the weekly series (hopefully that does not include most tie-ins, that little, but nothing helps this story, already in advance, which is not helping). This series is far from being in danger of cancellation since it has a significant captive group of readers by including the "Mega Events " both enjoy Mexican Marvel Zombies (and many detractors as well.)
MONTHLY SERIES
In these publications if there were a lot of changes (more than content format) with the Punisher cancellation, change of format of stars and selling Spiderman X-Men , as well as the inclusion of new titles and changes in frequency. Let us review the present status:
X-MEN
X-MEN
The X-Men are some of those involved in the change of format, monthly publication of 24 pages disappears and gives way to 48 pages, including major publications X in USA, and Uncanny X-Men publication sharing. During the first months Messiah Complex ends and with this comes the restructuring of X , which could bring new readers and some who returned with the release of MC . This is what Arevalo bet with the publication in this format oy that is likely to bring good dividends. AMAZING SPIDERMAN
releases Arachnid format and for those who believed that after OMD and BND problems are coming from sales wall-crawler in my opinion, is the most healthy of comics "Televisa " in circulation is concerned, so I do not think I have no problem of sales (even already have shown in this blog as the "change" has been beneficial in a matter of USA sales) so there Spidey for a while in our country .
ULTIMATE SPIDERMAN
The only spider publication of 2008 that was despised by the Mexican marvelzombitas . Probably the format change be beneficial for this publication, as well as be a gap of almost three years with the publication coupled with the original style Bendis, a monthly comic is too our jeep was sloooow for many and can now have double ration of ultimate spidey , which could "fix" both setbacks. Another important point is the proximity of the clone saga ultimatizada and the number U.S. 100, which could mark a surge in sales of this series. WOLVERINE
The only monthly series of Televisa that have not undergone changes since the station took the baton Marvel in Mexico (initially were 4 monthly publications, together with Canada also appeared hairy X-Men, Amazing Spiderman, Ultimate FF , the first two have undergone changes in its format and the last was canceled) and is another that is emerging strong in the domestic market. This year is interesting arches covered as Old Man Logan , which is certainly much better than the last arc Wolvie has been published in Mexico.
CLASSIC MARVEL
One of the series has had ups and downs in sales during the year as there are months which has reported good sales and some not so. Over the past year presented the first issues of many series as X-Men, Avengers, Hulk, Iron Man and Namor, although that has prevailed in this publication has been the spider (is that is that Mexico sells more ? ... note the irony). This year the first 9 months will be devoted to the war Kree-Skrull , seeking to sustain the publication Secret Invasion , and the last three months of this year is still unknown, but no doubt, even for a moment that the spider is present in at least a month. AVENGERS (NEW AND MIGHTY)
The situation of this title is somewhat unique in that Arevalo has endeavored to sell it as if it were one monthly title, when they are actually two bimonthly because no stories "mixed" as in X-Men but includes 2 numbers the same title in an edition (note that they separate numbering), but is presented as if the title Avengers monthly to keep captive every month to buyers. This year both New c omo Mighty Avengers will be stuck in the Secret Invasion , which for many can be an incentive to purchase.
IRON MAN
This title Fresquecito, recently opened in Mexico has left a sour taste in many readers , not because the series is bad, but by the fact that starting from scratch, but picks up the story after the end of the Civil War , so many did not feel like a number 1 and leaving the impression that less than half of the film. We'll have to wait and see what fate has this title in our country, that although CW leave much expectation about director of SHIELD Shielded for many "experts" do not give much life to the title. CAPTAIN AMERICA
The title more fragile Televisa to publish Marvel And not because bad comic, but ... opposite! a big argument at the hands of one of the best contemporary writers, a different comic that is published regularly in Mexico, and therein lies its fragility. Failure to start from the beginning, the type of stories, Rogers still dead and an almost unknown (in Spain) with the mantle of American patriot are heavy slabs that this title will be loaded ... and many do not believe can support (including me). Ojala, seriously, to appreciate a good comic , but the reality is not very hopeful. DAREDEVIL-THOR FLIPBPOOK
The most controversial publications of Televisa this year, at least in format, since the division of opinion about whether it is good idea flipbook, is very strong and balanced. Daredevil followers have been severely punished by Televisa, a bimonthly publication initially mutilated bullets, inserting the title other people's stories ( Civil War, Chosing sides ) and a gap with the rest of the publications have passed the bill, although the main reason is the limited national approach to comics readers who leave schemes "popular." As to Thunder God, for his new series is very good and many would have preferred to have it individually and many think that Daredevil bear will be your decision to cancel, but in this case I think we should expect, and that their future is very difficult to predict, and although many do not like the format, I can only say that I hope and Arevalo is right and managed to retain the guardian devil in circulation, with the bonus of son of Odin.
SERIES BI-MONTHLY
ULTIMATUM
bimonthly The only series that was left was dedicated to the world
Ultim ate (well here we had to and Ultimates 2 unfortunately, also Ultimates 3) and Arevalo announced (or threatened) with the publication of such "expected" Ultimatum . So it is from this story was published in February which caused such reactions and found to its conclusion, although it is not known to be dedicated this space (personally, I think will depend on the host that gives the reader national Ultimatum, if the line continues to devote Ultimate or another project). MONSTER EDITION
quarterly special publications of Marvel Televisa this year, have an interesting variety in its subject, as being the " mega event "Secret Invasion , was the most logical that the first two editions, Secret War and The Initiative , were closely linked to it. The third volume is the one that most intrigued me because, as presented Dark Tower is a very risky bet, but no doubt grateful, for bringing something other than mesh and madrasas. Be seen that the experiment goes. To complete these publications as being customary to close the year and according to the Day of the Dead celebrations, the last volume is devoted to Marvel Zombies (yes, the comic, not to confuse) in the second part. Well as you can see is surtidito this area and hopefully soon they happen to change the frequency of these publications a bimonthly , since it is a very attractive and economical format and have a special each weeks does not seem unreasonable for the national comiquero market. MARVEL OMNIBUS
The big question in the plan Editorial Televisa these publications are compilations. There are rumors that the Volume 2 was the last of this type or on your schedule will be six months, but the truth is that nobody really knows the future of this format. What is almost certain is that it conformed to the original plan of being bimonthly or contents which was devoted solely to the exit, as also there are some rumors about a bus of Civil missing material War, but this is in the realm of speculation and must await the official version about the future of the Omnibus . For just this thing in the Marvel seal Televisa, to which one must add the negative economic factors expected for this year and the status of other publishers in the country . What you can see is that Arevalo not very complicated life, I schedule the most marketable and popular to satisfy Marvel zombies that are the bulk of their customers, taking some risks with some series that are out of scheme. Some decisions been seriously questioned, it is true, but also understanding that the poor guey Azcarraga last name is not and has to be accountable to their bosses, who are hired to sell comics , regardless of the quality of the published but the amount you put on the market . So we want to see something more than just spidey and mutants in Mexico , we must support the series as cap or the black rook and not just to complain stay "behind our monitor."
