Fourteen Points About Marvel's Point One

This is a repeat. A collection of two articles you have already read. But with Marvel's Point One shipping tomorrow, it may not be a bad idea. Two lots of seven points about Point One...

Marvel are bringing a lot of attention to bear for their Point One oneshot next month, as the Final Order Cut Off point for retailers approaches next Monday. But why should the readers care? Well here's seven fourteen stabs…

1. The framework of the comic focuses on the Watcher and what he see, now and in the future, possible or otherwise. This gives the comic the opportunity to show a number of segments of the upcoming Marvel universe. It is an in-story sneak peek at the Marvel universe to come, and using top drawer Marvel creators to do so. Brubaker, Bendis, Hickman, Loeb, McGuinness, Hitch, Lapham, Del Torres, the Dodsons, Fraction, all that….

2. The book sets up a new threat, one that is taking advantage of The Watcher's weakness to set up their new strength. Odds are this won't be the last we see them. Or not see them.

3. Nova Vs Terrax. And the return of something that's been teased in a very different comic indeed.

4. You'll find out exactly who Scarlet Spider is. And if you have won the Bleeding Cool competition!

5. Two brand new characters that bring to mind Northstar and Aurora with a both poignant and powerful backstory.

6. Bryan Hitch goes shaky cam.

7. When was the last time you read a Doctor Strange solo story?

8. Bodies that may have some future relevance include the Taiji Corp, The Impossible and The Unseen.

9. We take a mysterious return to Birj, the home planet of Terrax The Tamer.

10. Coldmoon and Dragonfire may be the New Character Finds of 2011.

11. "alphagirl omegaman freewheelin bitter ends + savior sapokanikan sapokanikarrundrum kontradikkkk winter weather overground cracks center silent sentries centuries"

12. Exactly how do you pay off Ultron, anyway?

13. The Scarlet Spider is walking to Mexico.

14. The cover price is $5.99. With generous promotion from Marvel, odds are you may be able to negotiate a deal down…
