Welcome back to 2099
Back in the mid-1990s, Marvel launched several connected series that took place in a cyberpunk-like future. Generally referred to as Marvel 2099, the various series took versions of modern era Marvel superheroes and recreated them in the future. For awhile, I read Spider-Man 2099, Punisher 2099 and Doom 2099. I still have the issues that I did buy.
Well, now it looks like Marvel is relaunching the 2099 series, although one site said it's just a bunch of one shots and that they're not connected to the old Marvel 2099 series. Still, I'm a big cyberpunk fan, and the idea of porting existing heroes over into a dystopian future holds a lot of possibilities. The new books launch this week. I'll have to make sure to get Wyldstar to pick up some of the more interesting titles -- ones like Punisher 2099, Inhumans 2099 and Mutant 2099. I don't really have much interest in Black Panther 2099 or Daredevil 2099.
