When my wife and I were talking about where creators were going to end up after AvX and the big shakeups, the idea of Waid writing Nova was brought up between us. It was...more dreaming and hoping than something we actually expected to see.
And it's looking like it might not be available on Marvel's Chrome/PC webstore, unless there's some news about that getting revamped (which there doesn't seem to be).
So, it's Nova by Waid and Immonen, available exclusively for iOS and Android devices.
Still thinking we'll see a relaunch of a webstore by Avengers vs X-Men 1 at the latest.

Digital issues with physical copies is very nice. I'm going to use and abuse this when it hits in June. Now if they'd just make the digital subscription work with the iPad, I'd be set.

First, Waid and Immonen are a nice combination for this, as long as Loeb still doesn't have some kind of Didio-like control over where he wants to go, and Waid is just scripting it. And making the story free if you buy the comic is nice and is actual additional content for $4. As for the AR stuff, it seems like a way to phase out the recap pages in the physical comic, and to possibly use an intern or someone to make them for the digital AR stuff. That's my feeling on that part, to potentially shed some more pages for either more ads.
As for making it for ios stuff and the comixology app, as long as they don't make it exclusively for that right now, or delay the release on other things like what they're doing with certain comics, fine. The quasi motion comic stuff I don't care for; instead of trying to do a motion comic on a smaller scale, which we've already seen that people don't care for outside of that initial Spider-Woman bump, I would be happy with just digital comics for real, not even making them come to print after a few months like other digital exclusives have been. I don't read comics on my phone, it's something I prefer to read on my monitor or in the future a tablet (it's not something I object to, I just don't particularly like using my phone for stuff outside of talking/texting/business purposes). In terms of stuff to establish for online comics, this motion stuff would be at the bottom of my list, behind a clean interface, updated and comprehensive catalog, etc. It's the old saying of selling the sizzle, not the steak, and in comics the opposite is much better for attracting readers.
Read the articles on CBR about this Infinite Comics thing. It sounds FANTASTIC.
-$.99 issues.
-Designed with digital formats in mind instead of print.
-WAID AND IMMONEN ON NOVA.
Probably a good idea to throw this link on here... It's the comic that Quesada used as the inspiration for this whole thing, so its likely a good baseline for things we could expect from it.
re: Nova news - happy that it is Waid and Immonen. I love Immonen. As for all the other shit... i don't care. is there going to be a trade paperback eventually? i'll buy that.

99c issues and big brand-name creators is exactly the winning strategy EVERYONE's been asking for. We just ALL need to support this.

It's not going to be a full issue (would be great if it was), probably 6 or 8 pages a part (Waid mentions a 3 page outline for Immonen to work from), maybe even less depending on how they do this panel layout. This might be a 20-30 panel thing for a new way to deal with comics.

Maybe it'll be cinematic as fuck, like Cassaday on Astonishing. Whatever! We need to support this move forward.

They released a trade of the online-only Secret Invasion tie-in, Home Invasion, years ago. I don't know of much online-only material that hasn't been published in singles and then trades, but my knowledge stops ... in 2009? 2010? However, considering the cachet Waid and Immonen carry alone, I cannot imagine there not being a collection.

The only trouble is if Waid and Immonen use this as an excuse to "go beyond the infinite line," in which case I'm not sure how good Marvel would be at shipping mobius strip pop-up books.
Don't say that. You may get your wish like Fraction/Gillen fans did with Uncanny X-Men.
seriously how does that guy have a job? realistic style isn't an excuse to trace everyone. We could never get away with that excuse. It makes me sadder because there was an arc with terry dodson on it that was amazing looking then it went right back.
Was Captain Marvel really that popular back in the day?
I know that he's an important part of Marvel history, but he's never struck me as a character worth reviving.
He's never been that popular, which makes me hope (summers) that this is a direction for Noh-varr, finally. If it really is the return of the original Captain Marvel (again), then it seems as pointless as bringing Harry Osborn back. Some characters can just stay dead, you can still renew the trademark with new characters.

Captain Marvel is a name claimed by many. The DC character now known as Shazam! Captain-Marvell of the Kree. Photon. Marvel Boy. It seems to go around. And we know now that Marvel is reviving the name for a new series. But who will be under the star?
I”m told that this time, it’s Carol Danvers, Ms Marvel’s turn, in a new costume with a new name, and one that might be a little more user friendly for the fanboys. Coming from Marvel in July and written by Marvel rising star Kelly Sue DeConnick.
Captain Marvel is always a fan favourite of a comic. Will it remain so with a woman under the sobriquet? Marvel has been looking terribly patriarchal by not having a solo female lead comic book right now. Ms Marvel’s title under her own name was cancelled relatively recently. This could be a way to sneak the character past the institutionalised sexism in superhero comics.
Here’s what Ms Marvel looks like right now…

Especially considering this guy is working with Waid on a story for the project as well.
This is the internet - the weird thing would be if you weren't seeing a lot of negativity.
Anyway, Waid is being a cocktease.
I picked up lots of New 52 stuff because at 1.99 I didn't mind trying a few issues.
seriously how does that guy have a job? realistic style isn't an excuse to trace everyone. We could never get away with that excuse. It makes me sadder because there was an arc with terry dodson on it that was amazing looking then it went right back.
sorry. I got mad thinking about that.

This looks very 90's.
