Looks like Marvel is starting a new reprint program to get people to sample their new All New All Different books and using the TImely name as the imprint. These books will feature reprints of the first 3 issues of these series for only $3. 3 issue $3, now all of you paying $4 a pop for these fell great don't you.

or if you prefer..

CBR article

Personally I think these could be great if they get them in places outside the direct market-grocery stores, Wal*Mart, etc-a great low price impulse buy kind of product to introduce readers to stories and given them a big chunk of story too.

Here's the 15 or so titles planned so far...

TIMELY COMICS: INVINCIBLE IRON MAN

TIMELY COMICS: ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS

TIMELY COMICS: ALL-NEW INHUMANS

TIMELY COMICS: CARNAGE

TIMELY COMICS: DAREDEVIL

TIMELY COMICS: DRAX

TIMELY COMICS: DOCTOR STRANGE

TIMELY COMICS: MOON GIRL AND DEVIL DINOSAUR

TIMELY COMICS: NEW AVENGERS

TIMELY COMICS: SCARLET WITCH

TIMELY COMICS: SQUADRON SUPREME

TIMELY COMICS: TOTALLY AWESOME HULK

TIMELY COMICS: ULTIMATES

TIMELY COMICS: UNCANNY INHUMANS

TIMELY COMICS: VENOM: SPACE KNIGHT

TIMELY COMICS: WEB WARRIORS

If I'm ever in the mood for Marvel super-heroes I just get a tradebook out of the library and get it for free. The last time I did that was for Dan Slott's Silver Surfer volumes 1 & 2 which reprinted the first 10 issues

Let me rephrase that, its were I get all my comic material reading these days

So I'll probably get some of these. Doctor Strange especially.

I wonder if they'll go digital at that price.

I'm sure they'd sell at that price point.

I think it's a good idea to use the Timely name. It is a nice way of showing long term readers that Marvel still remembers it's history.

Eh, I would have liked seeing the name better if it was put to good use, like perhaps an imprint focusing on forgotten war time characters or an alternate version of the Marvel Universe set in the 1940's/50's.

Oh yeah, I totally agree with you.

Since there aren't any more WW II comics except for the occasional rarity, you could use the Timely imprint for a throw back Invaders, All-Winners Squad, Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos imprint.

Totally agree.

Someone get Dan Bailey on this right away

I'd figure to setup a different inprint means to use a different mode of distribution.

I think Marvel missing an opportunity with the black and white Essentials being stopped considering the whole adult coloring fad going on. I'd think those for reading and fun would be popular sold b coloring books and the like.
