“Pre-Impressions”

November 7 marks the first day of Marvel Comics’ initial wave of new releases for Marvel NOW! with a month including a number of high-profile relaunches with many more to come through January 2013. With all the hype and anticipation surrounding the three-month launch window of Marvel NOW!, we thought we’d share the CBR Staff’s impressions of the publishing initiative’s titles before the books hit stands. Check out the top picks of the CBR Staff below and then head to the forums to discuss what you’re most excited about in the coming months.

I wouldn’t normally note something like this, but this story on CBR today is the story that Chad Nevett described as “sucking Marvel’s cock and pretending it’s journalism” on CBR the other day. I don’t know quite why I am so surprised to see it go up, especially so close to Chad’s post calling it out for what it is, but I am. Somewhat proving Chad’s point about it in some way, it’s promoted twice on the front page of the site as I write.
