Marvel revealed 8 new titles as part of its 82nd birthday celebration.
DEVIL'S REIGN
Spinning out of the current Daredevil run by Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto, longtime villain Kingpin is turning his grip on New York City as its mayor into a stranglehold by outlawing all superheroes and releasing everything he and the municipal government have on the heroes' secret identities and more.
Brandishing a new version of the Thunderbolts which he debuted back during 'King in Black,' Kingpin will face off against Daredevil, Elektra, Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, "and more."
Devil's Reign debuts this December.
AVENGERS FOREVER
The classic '90s storyline Avengers Forever gets brought back in name and spirit this December as a multiversal Avengers line-up is recruited to "bring order to timelines where 'hope' is a four-letter word."
The recruits include an alternate reality version of Tony Stark where he's an archeologist and "Invincible Ant-Man."
Avengers writer Jason Aaron has been teasing this kind of event for the past year or so and recently introduced a Multiversal Masters of Evil in the Avengers / Hulk: Free Comic Book Day special. For this all-new Avengers Forever ongoing series, Aaron is teaming with artist Aaron Kuder.
"Avengers Forever spins out of the colossal events of this November's Avengers #50/750," Aaron writes on this blog. "A buncha characters old and new, a buncha craziness, a whole buncha fun to be had."
Avengers Forever debuts this December.
TIMELESS
Spinning out of the current Kang the Conqueror limited series, Timeless will follow the titular time tyrant as he defends Marvel's main universe, the 616, against a "threatening new timeline" that has emerged.
Writer Jed Mackay is working on this with a trio of artists: Kev Walker, Joe Bennett, and Mark Bagley.
Timeless debuts this December.
SHE-HULK
Coinciding with the upcoming Disney Plus series, She-Hulk returns to comic book shelves with a new ongoing series by Runaways writer Rainbow Rowell and Hellions artist Rogê Antônio.
Picking up after the amped-up version of She-Hulk in the Avengers ongoing series and the current 'World War She-Hulk' storyline which shes her kidnapped and put through the Black Widow Red Room re-programming center, this new series will follow Jennifer Walters as she tries to put it all behind her and find a life outside of superheroing again as a lawyer.
But like a famous movie mobster once said, just when She-Hulk thinks she gets out, they pull her back in. The "they" in this situation is an unnamed "friend from her past."
She-Hulk debuts in January 2022.

X LIVES OF WOLVERINE and X DEATHS OF WOLVERINE
Wolverine has been through the wringer over the course of his life, but the writer of his current ongoing series Ben Percy is planning on amping up the stakes in two interlocking limited series titled X Lives of Wolverine and X Deaths of Wolverine.
Similiar format-wise to the twin House of X and Powers of X, these two series will, according to Marvel, will show "what happens to Wolverine when… His Pasts Meets His Future."
That's their capitalization, but could be referring to all the various alt-reality versions of Wolverine operating across the Marvel Multiverse including the aged Days of Future Past Logan.
Percy will be joined on this by his X-Force partner Joshua Cassara, along with Federico Vicentini.
X Lives of Wolverine and X Deaths of Wolverine are both scheduled to debut in January 2022.
FANTASTIC FOUR: RECKONING WAR
For the past 15 years, Marvel writer Dan Slott has been hitting at a mysterious event called 'the Reckoning War' in his various titles ranging from She-Hulk to the current Fantastic Four, and now it's finally happening with Fantastic Four: The Reckoning War.
Described as a re-ignition of "the original secret war of the Marvel Universe" (presumably referring to the early '80s Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars event), Fantastic Four: The Reckoning War will be drawn by Carlos Pacheco and Rachael Stott.
Fantastic Four: The Reckoning War debuts in January 2022.
MOON GIRL AND DEVIL DINOSAUR
Ahead of the Disney Channel Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur animated series debuting in 2022, Marvel is relaunching the original limited series. Unlike the seven other announcements today, the publisher doesn't reveal the creators involved or any significant clues on the storyline.
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur will debut in February 2022.

They’re already relaunching X-Men? 
Is Hickman’s run even gonna be remembered years from now?

New 52 was a mixed bag.Apparently today is the tenth anniversary of the New 52.
'Happy anniversary' to the shyt that got me out of comics for five years.
There were some really good comics to come out of it and they gave series to a lot of characters that wouldn't normally even sniff their own books.
The problem was that a lot of the changes seemed to be channeling the edgelord vibe of the 1990s which was just uncool in every way.
I just think that all of the good stuff from New 52 could've just as easily been done without the New 52 reboot part.

I fukks with the NEw 52. JL and Batman were great.
Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Justice League all were really good in the New 52.
And all of the pseudo-Vertigo books (Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Constantine, the Jonah Hex book) were great.

It will because the relaunch is still continuing the Krakoa Era. It's just Marvel being Marvel and wanting to revamp shyt and probably go back to n°1s to boost sales. (plus there will be new books and new writers).
They are having an "X-Summit" with Marvel editorial en the next few days. Hickman will be there with the team and they are gonna present the plans for the next couple of years. He's just not gonna lead it and see it through

Forever Evil was a good event too. I’d throw in the Darkseid War, but that was basically a JL book storyline.

One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It
Hickman basically had to undo over a decade of unofficial neglect. I think they agreed to bring him back for a few event runs so his version of X-Men should stick for a few more years if not longer
Forever Evil was The Crime Syndicate vs Legion of Doom, which was
But exposing Nightwing's identity to the world was

Is it on the same level as Avengers tho?It will because the relaunch is still continuing the Krakoa Era. It's just Marvel being Marvel and wanting to revamp shyt and probably go back to n°1s to boost sales. (plus there will be new books and new writers).
