** Fans of She-Hulk are also divided over her new series. Some are interested in seeing where this will go, with Jennifer broken after [[spoiler:the death of her cousin Bruce]]. However, there are many who are rolling their eyes at this, feeling that they're missing the point of who Jennifer is and that cramming angst on top of a usually fun-loving character is completely missing the point of the character. Many of them also see parallels towards Speedball, who had an equally-moody period thanks to the original ''ComicBook/CivilWar'', with many fans calling this era of She-Hulk's life "Penance-Hulk". Others are claiming that this was Marvel going "Oh, crap! ''ComicBook/TotallyAwesomeHulk'' didn't sell! Bring out a recognizable female character as a Hulk!"

** The new Venom, Lee Price, was panned almost-universally for his stoic personality and abusive treatment of the symbiote. [[spoiler:Subsequently, it was announced that Eddie Brock -- the original Venom, who fans have been clamoring to return for years -- would be reclaiming the symbiote, with Lee taking up the role of the main antagonist.]]
** [[spoiler:Ben Reilly's new costume was almost universally hated for how ridiculous and creepy it looked. As such, Marvel revealed that Ben would go back to the classic red suit and blue hoodie that he made famous in the 90s, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial claiming that it's because of "story-driven reasons"]].]]

** On the other end of the spectrum, many people are tired of the usage of AffirmativeActionLegacy and would rather have marvel create new superhero identities instead of making so many [[LegacyCharacter Legacy Characters]] and shafting their old characters for it, as is the case with Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man. They argue that replacing these old characters makes the diversification feel forced, with some of the more hardcore opposers even accusing Marvel's writing board of PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad.

** ''ComicBook/UnstoppableWasp'' being about Nadia and not Janet. Nadia is already divisive for various reasons, but giving her an ongoing after she's had only ''two'' appearances so far when Janet, one of Marvel's oldest heroines and a founding Avenger, has ''never'' had her own book, feels to many fans like Marvel are unfairly pushing a character no one wanted at the expense of one of the most beloved characters in the comics. However, some fans have expressed interest in the series due to the fact that, while Nadia is the one being pushed, nothing indicates that Janet ''won't'' be involved in the book somehow.

** The idea of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse being divided by ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'' (read: ''[[YoYoPlotPoint again]]'') hasn't been an especially popular prospect for many, who feel Marvel already dabbled with similar subject matter during ''ComicBook/DarkReign''. It also doesn't help that 2016 has been an especially heavy year for superheroes fighting one another in other media (''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', ''Series/{{Daredevil}}'' season two), but some feel an unresolved event could lead to interesting stories and a unique status quo.

* CounterpartComparison: Similar to how the upcoming ''Superwoman'' in ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' was inspired by ''ComicBook/{{Thor 2014}}'', many fans are have automatically compared the new ''Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows'' series to the popular ''ComicBook/SupermanLoisAndClark''.

Insulting the old costume to prop up the new one isn't much of an argument. Let's leave this as point A and B as it should be.


** Elektra's costume for her new series has divided the fan base a good bit, complaining about the fact that they dumped her "iconic" look for something more geared to "[[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU synergy]]". However, many are quite liking the look, mostly because her "iconic" look plays heavily on the HighlyVisibleNinja scale and looks ridiculous. If anything, they feel the new look falls squarely into BoringButPractical.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Nobody saw the ''Champions'', ''Great Lakes Avengers'' or ''Man-Thing'' making a comeback. Thanos getting his own ongoing is out of left field as well as utilizing ''anything'' from ''Renew Your Vows''. Also, the three Mercs for Money solo books.
** Richard Rider coming back from the dead and teaming up with current Nova Sam Alexander in a duo series, too, to a lesser extent. There was tease with Richard's Nova Helmet released, but no context to speak of, and ''no one'' saw him actually returning coming before then.

** Mosaic has been a little dicey among fans. For starters, he's yet another [[ComicBook/TheInhumans Inhuman]] getting a high profile launch with their own ongoing series, which [[BerserkButton actively irritates]] those who still believe Marvel is trying to [[ConspiracyTheorist sabotage]] the ComicBook/XMen. There's also his skill set of transcendency and body possession, which many feel is an effort to minimize the character's African-American identity -- probably not the case, since his book is being written and drawn by two black men.

* ReplacementScrappy: Riri Williams becoming the new Iron Man. There is a lot of hate about this decision since the character hasn't been well established yet and some see it as more of a publicity stunt.

** [[spoiler:Ben Reilly's new Scarlet Spider costume]]. The two biggest detraction to the costume is the hood and the creepy mouth on the mask. Many think the hood looks like it's trying to imitate Spider-Gwen and looks silly on [[spoiler:him]] and the mouth just looks ridiculous if not just outright creepy.

** Reaction to the new ''Champions'' series is quite mixed, mostly due to the list of characters. While many are happy to know that [[spoiler:At least Viv will survive the events of ''The Vision'' series]], the other characters are seeing a mixed reaction, especially towards the teenaged Cyclops and the three former All-New, All-Different Avengers - they feel that Kamala, Sam and Miles aren't experienced enough to form their own team just yet and there's the feeling that pulling Cyclops away from ''All-New X-Men'' will hurt his character.

* The X-Men line-ups for the Ressurxion storyline have divided people by how "white" they are. While nationality-wise the teams are quite diverse, there are very few people of color, which has annoyed fans. Others point out that these teams are supposed to hearken back to the earlier days (''X-Men Gold'', for example is one part ''Giant Size X-Men'', one part ''Excalibur'')
