The Marvel "Switcheroo": Hickman/Ribic on Avengers, Fraction/Larroca on FF!

**Ryudo** · 06-13-2012, 07:38 AM

According to Bleeding Cool, there will be massive creator change-ups coming to the Marvel Universe after Avengers vs. X-Men.

First, Kieron Gillen and Greg Land will be taking over Iron Man.

Second, Hickman will be taking over the Avengers title(s?). Rumor is that Esad Ribic is joining him.

Third, Fraction and Larroca will be moving to Fantastic Four.

And Remender and Opena seem to be launching an "Astonishing Avengers" comic.

Rich still seems to be thinking Bendis is moving to cosmic. I would still like to see him on X-Men, though.

I do like that the artists are potentially sticking with the writers - that's kinda cool.

Thoughts?

Will Gillen stay on Uncanny?!? That's all I care about.

I'll probably read all of these.

Apparently nothing on the X-titles yet. It would be neat to see DnA on an X-book.

The comments on the Bleeding Cool forum are hilarious.

They are. They write New Mutants. Decent enough run too.

I'll miss Fraction on Iron Man, arguably the best run on that book ever.

Gillen is fine and all, but I'm not buying any more Greg Land art.

All the other teams certainly seem good.

Bendis on X-Men according to BC.

These teams sound solid, I just want Marvel to be up front about the alternate art teams...cause with the exception of Fantastic Four they're all gonna have alternates.

And I don't say that as a knock. It's a reality of modern comics.

Nick Bradshaw alternates with Chris Bacahlo on Wolverine and the X-Men. Greg Land alternates with Carlos Pacheo on Uncanny X-Men. It's works quite well. And we know and accept that as brilliant as Esad Ribic and Jerome Opena are (and they ARE brilliant), they aren't monthly guys. So let us know who we can expect in the rotation.
