Marvel's release schedule? (Comic Book Forums)

Author	Marvel's release schedule?
echo Teacher Location: PA Posts: 498 My Collection	Posted: February 6, 2013 8:40:01 pm I saw Superior Spider-man #3 was out today. Issue #1 came out on January 8th and it's now February 6th and issue 3 is out. All-New X-Men #7 came out and I swear it feels like issue #1 came out about 3 months ago. I might be wrong but it feels that way. Even some Avengers comics seem to be in numbers higher than the months since they released. Is Marvel doing it's comics now less than once a month or less than 4 weeks? Are some of their new series suppose to be bi-weekly?

Seriously, there have only been a couple of real duds in the whole NOW initiative.... (im lookin at you Thunderbolts)... I just finished reading the new Uncanny X-Force #1, and I thought it was really awesome. One of my favorites of the NOW already, along with Thor, Avengers, and X-Men Legacy.

It makes up for books like Uncanny Avengers that ship every other month... Superior Spider's Bi-weekly. I'm assuming because it's in ASM's slot and that was a twice a month book. Avengers ships twice a month. I think All New X-Men ships twice a month... At lease it seems like?

As you said, All New X-Men just started and we have 6 issues already .... although today's comic contain about 1/4th of the content of older comics.
