Marvel Adventures Super Heroes – New Material Every Other Month?

Talking about taking over the Marvel Adventures line of comics aimed at the younger Marvel reader, editor Steve Wacker said back in February;

There's stuff in these books every month that I think would be appealing even to your mainstream Marvel reader. It's just a matter of getting the word out and getting the messaging out, and just like you said, you've got to bring some change to the equation just so people feel like "I can jump on here." It's like a train coming into the station: it's got to stop every once in a while to let more people on, and you've got to give them a way to get on. But I would like to see these do better in the Direct Market, and I think that will only lead to the line getting better and becoming stronger.

But something seems to be up, specifically with the Marvel Adventures Super Heroes comic. Reprints.

Marvel Adventures Super Heroes#14 reprints Marvel Age Spider-Man Team-Up #4.

Marvel Adventures Super Heroes#16 reprints Marvel Age Spider-Man Team-Up #2.

Marvel Adventures Super Heroes #18 reprints Marvel Adventures Iron Man #2.

Is trying to appeal to a wider audience really going to be successful when you are reprinting content every other month? It is a peculiar strategy….
