Marvel launch new series and jumping on points this December

Marvel teased  plans for a new wave of Marvel NOW! books back at SDCC 2013, and today we've finally got some news on it, with the launch of two new series, one we've known about for a while and one all-new, as well as a good jumping on point for one of their major series on December 24th this year, check out the covers below...

First up is the competed cover for Matt Fraction and Joe Madureria's "Inhuman #1":

Then a brand new series from James Robinson and Steve Pugh, "All new Invaders", and remember a while back when Robinson claimed to be writing Namor then quickly denied it, well...

So there we have Captain America, Prince Namor ( see? ), Bucky Barnes, also known as The Winter Soldier and the original Human Torch.

And finally, here's the cover to Avengers 24.NOW ( Huh? ) , by Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic.


Notice, how all of these are under the banner of "All-New Marvel NOW!", maybe we'll be seeing some more of these books in the run up to Christmas Eve...

And, yes, I am definitely looking forward to being able to buy comics on Christmas Eve...

James Robinson confirms he's NOT writing Namor

A few days ago James Robinson tweeted and then delete the following:

Following that, many comic sites reported on this and it spread that Robinson could be writing a new Namor book at Marvel, I chose not to report on this because I wasn't really too sure if this was a serious statement or not. Although, let's just keep in mind that James Robinson announced his departure from Earth 2 over Twitter...

Just a few minutes ago James Robinson tweeted:

Hey, and for the record I am not writing Namor.That was a joke between friends meant to be a DM.

So, it seems Robinson isn't writing Namor after all, although that would make a good series, hopefully one day.
