We made a guess this morning that this big new Avengers/X-Men Marvel thing could be whatever had been teased at San Diego Comic Con as coming from Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness under the title Cable Reborn And looky looky. Avengers: X-Sanction is a new four issue miniseries from Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness starting in[...]

TweetWatch: On Ultimate Spider-Man… Mark Waid: Until Morales shows up on live-action TV, in cartoons and on toy shelves, I–with respect–cry foul. Tom Brevoort: Well, you'll see at least one of those before the year is out. TeaseWatch: More on this Avengers teasing image today at Noon PT, 3pm ET, 8pm BST At Marvel, an X is always an[...]

This is turning into one hell of a location shoot, isn't it? Straight from the streets of Manhattan from our intrepid Bleeding Cool reporter at Grand

And although there's a building feeling that DC is going to crush the charts this fall — at least for awhile — Marvel analytics remind us for the second time in an overwhelmingly DC-centric week that a few months is a battle, not a war.

No crude efforts would imply no young talent and with no young talent to revitalize a medium, that medium will die a death of eventual mediocrity. SingaporeWatch: Bensong Ang gets some Singapore press for his upcoming Marvel work. BudgetWatch: Cleveland gets $90 million pumped into the local economy due to the filming of Avengers. Clevelanders and Cleveland companies[...]

But first, let's have a look at the free comic, Spider-Man And The Avengers. It's one of those specially-created custom books using Marvel characters to promote… something.In this case, the art of cooking. Jarvis the Butler is teaching kids to cook outside the Avengers Mansion (yeah, in retrospect, anywhere else would be better) as the Mansion is[...]

Image by Nyisha Haynes. I remember totally blagging my way into the Avengers panel last year at San Diego Anyway, the place was already packed, and Joss Whedon did his usual trick of taking the stage for a while and a couple of minutes in, realising that he'd forgotten some people At which point Robert Downey[...]

I remember Joe Quesada telling me how unprofitable the original graphic novel was for Marvel. How it ate up production, page rate and overhead. And how

Concurrent with the release this week of Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel Studios has begun its full court press for promoting its May 2012 release, The Avengers  Yesterday's concept art for the film featuring a good look at Captain America and Iron Man, now here's Hawkeye and Black Widow. Concurrent with the release this[...]

At the Marvel: Next Big Thing panel, there were announcements of a number of upcoming arcs on a number of projects (including the intriguingly titled Hulk Of Arabia) but there were two very new projects announced. One was Villains For Hire by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning for November starring Misty Knight and a new[...]

Filmed at eight o'clock this morning. From one side of San Diego Comic Con floor to the other, in video. Including a fair few things that weren't there

Cleveland.com is confirming an interesting tidbit that has been rumored about The Avengers for the past few weeks: Marvel has reached an agreement with NASA to use the space agency's Plum Brook facility in Sandusky, Ohio in filming the Avengers Next Month  It is believed that the facility's giant vacuum chamber (see pic, vid below)[...]

Not The Mighty Avengers… but it looks like we'll have The Mighty Defenders instead With Iron Fist, She Rulk, Doctor Strange and Silver Surfer. So what has exactly happened to The Hulk? And what has happened to Namor? Say, didn't Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness create the Red She Hulk? Could this be… Defenders Reborn? [...]

I have in my hands a copy of Avengers: Children's Crusade #6 The story is 22 pages long and ends with a spoileriffic climactic scene that may inform the future X-Men plotlines considerably. It's an ending that some people have failed to have read however. I'm getting reports that some copies of this comic ran a Mystic[...]

Wonder Woman is a pricktease, Avengers is a real surprise Let's find out why. We have been told in previous Flashpoint issues and crossovers that Wonder Woman and her fellow Amazons have taken control of the United Kingdom and wither killed all the men, possibly by removing their testicles, or put everyone into concentration camps[...]

Licensing Expo 2011 just opened in Las Vegas and attendee @theonlyesq has given us our first look at a promotional Avengers movie poster debuting there   Looks like a merchandising image rather than an actual movie poster, but a good look at characters and costumes for Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Hulk, and Black[...]

As I told someone on twitter this morning, your first reaction to that is "wow, Neal Adams can't be 70!" and then you think about all the stuff he's done for decades — and is still doing today, such as the upcoming Avengers point one book with Bendis I was going to[...]

Last week I pointed out how Kieron Gillen in Journey Into Mystery was able to summarise the entire issue of Fear Itself, poetically, into a couple of pages. This week, Brian Bendis takes the whole issue of Avengers to cover whan happened in about half of Fear Itself #2 and one page of Journey Into Mystery. Seriously,[...]

Comic book superhero universes love their continuity. All sorts of titles slipping in and each out of each other in terms of chronology and order. Who

Hoyts is a large Australian cinema chain, the second largest on the continent, with 450 screens spread across Australia and New Zealand, and dominating the Australian cinema advertising market. But their website listing for the upcoming Avengers movie for next year, is a little odd Here's the listing. Who the hell is The Hula-Hoop Kid? A mysterious[...]

Here is a new page from the classic Kree-Skrull War from Avengers, created by Upper Deck Card Entertainment and written by Sean McKeever for a new series of Kree-Skrull trading cards that will tell five seperate Avengers stories around the events of the Kree Skrull War that will, apparently, be treated as official Marvel comics[...]

Just as Bendis was the new generation's take on shell head when he wrote him in Avengers only seven years ago, now he seems to be the grand old man, with the likes of Matt Fraction and Nick Spencer nipping at his heels, wanting to pull the character this way and that Brian Bendis is,[...]

He writes; Back in 1981 I was writing the Avengers Hank Pym aka Yellowjacket was married to Janet Van Dyne aka The Wasp and things had not been going well for him for a long time. Before I embarked on the storyline that led to the end of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne's[...]

The Avengers will be filming in Cleveland, Ohio. Governor John Kasich told the crowd gathered for the mayor's state of the city the good news And locations are already being scouted. Wayne Hill  of the Greater Cleveland Film Commission has been quoted calling this "the largest film ever shot in Ohio." Yeah, yeah, Cleveland, right now you're celebrating[...]

Last year Bleeding Cool reported, to much derision, that the Avengers movie had a budget for around what Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man movie cost back in 2002, in real terms at least, despite having all all star cast, and portraying several superpowered characters on screen simultaneously That was $140 million, more like $200 million in[...]

A CGC 9.6 copy of Avengers #4, the first Silver Age appearance of Captain America, went for $91,500 at ComicLink auction last night — a new record for this issue by a wide margin Considered one of the most important Marvel comics ever published, this book by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee introduced Cap[...]

Or some such. But this week's issue of New Avengers was pretty much exactly this stereotype. The cast of New Avengers sitting around a table talking And then two of them interviewing for a nanny to look after their child No one hit anything No one stood up and carried the troops to action No one even[...]
