Daredevil: Woman Without Fear and More Devil's Reign Tie-Ins in 2022

Published Fri, 15 Oct 2021 19:01:09 -0500

Marvel has revealed the solicits for January's Devil's Reign #3 and all the tie-ins to the super-mega-crossover event, which is getting bigger and bigger in the merry Marvel fashion. Of course, adding more and more tie-ins to super-mega-crossover events is one of Joe Quesada's 22 Cheap Sales-Boosting Gimmicks That Always Work, a series of tricks used by comic book editors whenever they need to increase sales on comics without putting any effort into improving their content. That's not a dig at the content of these books, which is irrelevant to the concept. The main goal is to trick people into buying comics by convincing them they'll be missing out if they don't. It's FOMO as a marketing strategy. And while it's tempting to make fun… you can't argue that it doesn't work.

Anyway, Marvel released the solicits individually to all of their media partners, then gathered them together in a press release to double dip. Now we're going to triple dip and reprint them all here. That's the comics journalism business for you, folks. It's every bit as shamelessly self-serving, transparently greedy, and unnecessarily bloated as the comics industry itself.
