*Sigh*. ive collected...well i say collected but thats just an adult word used that translates into 'cause i still like to read them'.... comics for 30 years now and I have to say that between this year and next year being basically chock full of events is kinda making me think marvel is trying too hard and needs to slack off a bit.
When i first saw the secret wars thing i said, cool cause while its obviously just a gimmick way to get popular characters to interact and fight each other, it was fun to read the first time around....the second was....well...not so great but anyway i was looking forward to it for a bit. But then they announced armor wars and house of m and planet hulk....which might have been great runs...but what the hell happened to just letting your character have his own comics for a length of time without any massive crossovers that interrupt stories and break up the continuity.
Like right now Cap in his book is old and the avengers, including thor with a hammer is fighting zola in his book, yet original sins puts cap as young and thor looses his hammer, which isnt going away any time soon.
Its too much marvel. 1 maybe twice a year major events are fine. we dont need them happening so often that they actually cross over with each other.
Thor has been my mainstream comic. its the one ive always had (as long as it was not cancelled cause he was dead). Thor had time to have an occasional job using a secret identify, and of course the job he worked at would regularly be attacked by creatures but it was usually fun to read and added characters. Since he came back its been good...but its been all about what hes doing and less about who he is. Lots of other comics are getting on the bandwagon this way as well, and apparently editors think people are only buying comics for the events.... that kinda annoys me.
This year was pretty packed, with Age of Ultron, Infinity, Original Sin and Axis, plus Death of a wolverine and Spider-Verse, but if you really think they're going to have
Secret Wars
Civil War
Age of Ultron vs Marvel Zombies
Years of Future Past
Planet Hulk
Armor Wars
House of M
Infinity Gauntlet
And whatever else gets announced
All being full events that take place in Summer 2015, are you CRAZY.

Age of Ultron was last year. But yeah, I'm pretty sure all of the Summer 2015 peaks are for Secret Wars.
Marvel's doing this weird thing where every major Avengers storyline gets blown up into a full-blown event. It gets a little weird when you get stories like Infinity that just kind of peter out, because it wasn't a contained event but just the opening chapter in a big story.
Traditional Marvel events, like Civil War or World War Hulk, get set up and spun out from other books but are self-contained in and of themselves with defined beginnings and endpoints. None of the Hickman events, at least, work like this.
Secret Wars isn't just an Avengers storyline, though, despite the teaser being all Avengers and also Miles Morales, editorial has been very clear that it touches every corner of the MU and the X-Men among other characters will be integral.

Don't forget The Black Vortex!
Sooo....at this point we are up to listing 7 events that happened last year and yet im crazy for suggesting they might go for 8 or 9? heh....

Actually I misread the wiki (and have a bad memory, apparently), Infinity and Age of Ultron happened in 2013.
There was two big events this year, and two sub events for X-Men and Spider-Man.
EDIT: Also, my point is that big list is all "summer 2015"
There's no room for 9+ events in a single summer, just from a publishing standpoint. Most of those are probably going to be one shots, miniseries or an anthology, as tie-ins to Secret Wars. Right now Secret Wars (universe wide) and Black Vortex (Cosmic and X-Men) are the only two "event" events next year.
It depends on how you want to define an "Event" book.
2014 Events:
Line-wide events: Original Sin and Axis.
Avengers Events: Time Runs Out.
Spider-Man Events: Goblin Nation & Spider-verse
X-Men Events: The Trial of Jean Grey & Death of Wolverine
Personally, I only consider Line-wide events as "Event Books". While the others are events, they're fairly well self contained to their comicbook series, and thus if I'm not already collecting the books, I don't feel any need or desire to read them.
Yeah you are conflating a big storyline with an event
an event is a storyline that may or may not take place in a stand-alone miniseries and has tie-ins in multiple books
Original Sin, Axis, Spider-Verse and Death of Wolverine all qualify
Goblin Nation was just a Superior storyline, Trial of Jean Grey was Guardians/ANXM only and Time Runs Out is just an Avengers/New Avengers storyline
So far for 2015 we have:
The Black Vortex and Secret Wars
that'll probably be it, honestly, as Secret Wars is a year long and will involve every corner of the Marvel Universe
there's no way they have:
Black Vortex
Secret Wars
Civil War
Armor Wars
House of M
Planet Hulk
Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies
Infinity Gauntlet
Years of Future Past
Tomorrow's Teaser
Thursday's Teaser
and Friday's Teaser all in 2015
especially since everything except for Black Vortex starts in Summer 2015
Time Runs Out isn't an event, IMO, it's a story-arc in Hickman's increasingly tied together pair of books
Trial of Jean Grey was just a crossover between two books.
Did Goblin Nation even take place outside of Superior Spider-Man? I'm not sure why it's considered an event.
Then how the hell do Death of Wolverine and Spider-verse count as events? The entire story for those two take place in Wolverine and Amazing Spider-Man, respectively. The fact that they have random side story books that can be completely ignored without hindering the story don't suddenly make them events. They're just Wolverine and Spider-Man storylines.
And you completely missed the point that my argument was that only the major line-wide events (IE Original Sin and Axis) should be considered Event Books and the rest of the stuff is just books that happen to have multi-issue events taking place in them.
The ramifications of Death of Wolverine reached into many books. It's basically an X-Men event, and there's a couple of ongoing books spinning out of it. (Spider-Man and the X-Men, Wolverines)
Spider-verse ties into Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Woman, the finale of Superior Spider-man, and a bunch of miniseries; not to mention there are TWO new ongoings coming out of it. (Silk and Spider-Gwen)
Those aren't line wide, but they're definitely wide across a particular sub-line.
Goblin Nation was JUST Superior Spider-Man (there WERE no other Spidey books at the time, as far as I know); Trial of Jean Grey was just a crossover between two books; Time Runs Out is just a thing that Hickman is doing in his books.
IMO, stuff like Spider-Verse and Death of Wolverine count; they're big significant events that touch a lot of books. Very few events touch every book; IIRC, there was no Infinity tie-in for Daredevil; or Original Sin tie-in for Moon Knight.

I'm pretty sure they're going to run it like the old Secret Wars and have a Battle World made up of the different universes/events, then let all the different characters fight each other or some such thing

This right here, I bet.
Characters from events/alternate worlds are pulled out of their proper timeline/universe and pitted against one-another. One presumable example would be the 'Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies' - robots from Ultron's future vs. the zombified heroes and villains.
That's why I wanna see more 'Vs.' teasers - House of M vs. Civil War would be rad.

This was basically what that one Countdown mini tie-in was, where different multiverses picked a champion to fight for their universe to serve crazy Captain Atom.

Well, there's been more than a couple of universe cross-overs, I don't know that there's ever been an event cross-over - in many cases you'd have the same character, just from a different timeline.
I'm wondering if most of these are actually the tie-in stories for some of the regular ongoings at the start of the event, showing alternate versions of their marquee characters for an arc, but I'm only thinking that because the art style on today's Infinity Gauntlet one felt pretty close to the style of the recent cosmic titles.

Wait, have those guys been inverted yet?
not yet, and even if they were, fondue parties? Do they even have those in Asgard?
Im sure enchantress has ensorcelled her share of rich Midgard assholes.
#2 had some genuinely good lines but #1 and that fondue line are just stinkers
I wish they'd do more 'event' vs. 'event' teasers.

They're almost certainly for one-shots/an anthology/maybe a few miniseries to tie into Secret Wars
Marvel is event heavy but they aren't announcing 12 events this year
Secret Wars
Civil War
Age of Ultron vs Marvel Zombies
Years of Future Past
Planet Hulk
Armor Wars
House of M
Infinity Gauntlet

I bet you a dollar they're canceling it just to relaunch it.

It has pretty low sales (22,000 or so), right around the bubble Marvel considers cancellation. Silver Surfer is on that bubble as well.
