I understand that there may be need for a whole lot of new confetti soon[...]

It may be a combination of schedules, issues with getting retailers to order two launch issues for the same month, or the desire to make a bigger impact on day one, but the announcement that America's Got Powers by Jonathan Ross and Bryan Hitch would now launch with one issue in April, with 38 story[...]

Announced at SXSW, its one of those augmented reality things that I best remember for putting an Iron Man mask on your face, for the Iron Man movie. You'll also be able to use it to strip back the comic, looking at the comics' inks and pencils on screen. Here's a video of the AvX trailer you'll[...]
