Weekly Update 6/16/19

A new decade and a whole new wave of creators at Marvel! Congratulations, you made it! We're going to see a halting progress towards more varied styles of comics over the next few years, and I for one am thrilled. Anything to get me out of these Silver Age 2 x 3 grid layouts! And hopefully this will serve as a nice jumping on point for people who tried but couldn't stomach 1960's comics. 

I'm personally really excited about the martial arts comics that will be new to the MMY list... also nervous because Asian characters have never been Marvel's strong point. And the monsters! So many monster comics!  Ooh, and lots more cosmic comics! And a cigar smoking duck? It's going to get weird!

Again, thank you to all who filled out the survey earlier this week. Because of some feedback there, we've added a new benefit to the $10 tier! At that level, you will be able to dictate any issue you want to be covered on Extra Issues, and if you want, write something about it that will be included. I'll reach out to people in that tier soon to talk details.

This week's episode is Marvel Year Nine: 1970 Pt. 1, due out tomorrow 6/10/19. Please get any 1970 feedback for us to discuss on our next Variant Cover episode by 6/25/19. You can send it to mymarvelousyear@gmail.com
