Marvel - The New 52

Marvel - The New 52 is a 2012 revamp and relaunch by Marve lComics of its entire line of ongoing monthly superhero books, in which all of its existing titles were cancelled, and fifty-two new series debuted in September 2012 with new first issues. Among the series being renumbered are Captain America Comics and Amazing Fantasy, which had previously retained their original numbering. Touted as a large publishing event following the conclusion of the "Ironpoint" crossover storyline, Marvel's relaunch entails changes to both the publishing format and fictional universe to entice new readers. Publishing changes include same day release of physical comics with digital platforms, all Marvel Universe titles being cancelled and restarted at a new first issue, characters from the former Epic Comics imprint being absorbed into the Marvel Universe, and new titles being released to bring the number of ongoing series being published on a monthly basis up to fifty-two. Changes made to Marvel's internal continuity are intended to make characters more modern and accessible.
