We have the final, final, final version of the list.
Story by Matt Cummings
With the sudden announcement of the Sony/Marvel Spider-man deal back in February, the entire Marvel calendar was upended, pushing titles back and others out of the way. We wrote about this back when the news broke, but it's clear that the situation hadn't exactly settled. The addition of 2016's Gambit hadn't yet been figured out, which caused yet another wave of bloggers to hit the UPDATE button on their old stories. But it doesn't end there.
Other news - such as the lackluster performance of The Amazing Spider-man 2 which forced Sony to seek out a co-partner in Marvel in the first place - also changed Sony's plans regarding Drew Goddard's Sinister Six, effectively ending its development for the time being. Not one to be left out, the all-new DCCU (DC Cinematic Universe) is also vying for our hearts (and wallets), and with news on that front happening nearly every week now, it's important that we recognize their upcoming slate.
Now that the facade has finally been upgraded, we'd like to offer the most up-to-date calendar. We were hesitant to include an updated version until we were crystal clear that it wouldn't change by the time we went to post. Also, we've added links to episodes we've covered in past articles, so make sure you read those as well.2015:
