Polygon:

New series, new creative teams, new directions and new beginnings, promises a short announcement video on Marvel Entertainment’s YouTube account today.

Featuring Marvel Comics editor in chief C.B. Cebulski and chief creative officer Joe Quesada, the video is short on concrete information — though Marvel tells Polygon that more will be revealed later today and in the coming weeks.

While Cebulski’s promotion to editor in chief came with more than a little bit of controversy, I certainly hope this “Fresh Start" is the shot in the arm that Marvel needs, which has been an absolute slog to read compared to the nimble of the post “Rebirth" DC Comics.

I’m hoping that Marvel learns that the issue wasn’t the diversity and change of characters in their titles, but rather the far-too-connected nature of the comics, with everything being tied to a line-wide story arc which “changes everything!!!“

Here’s to being optimistic. I’ll read it all in 6 months via Marvel Unlimited.
