Have they ever been so blatant? Here's hoping it lives up to the hype - that is now an intrinsic part of its narrative.

 Any Walking Dead art collector will tell you that recent comic art sometimes does command some pretty strong prices, just to name one example. Which brings us to this week's release of The Manhattan Projects #13 by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra. The series continues to reach new fans after a year of critical acclaim, topped off by a[...]

Thank you Jonathan for this handy dandy reading guide to your Infinity crossover… especially since certain types might be able to work out which comics have been underordered… but as Jonathan says this may be handy to working out what comics you want to pre-order and which issues retailers may want to goose their order[...]

It was one of those spots in the early issues of Jonathan Hickman's Avengers that made me very happy That Smasher was one Isabel Dare, and her grandfather was called Dan Making her the grandchild of Dan Dare We commented on it It was great. But in the collected edition, Smasher's name is now Isobel Kane. Aw[...]

New Universe Now: I'm not sure exactly what Marvel's editorial response was initially to Jonathan Hickman when he suggested bringing back The New Universe, in some form or other, in The Avengers In this case treating it as an event that can happen on all Earths in order to defend them from attack.

 I'm not sure exactly what Marvel's editorial response was initially to Jonathan Hickman when he suggested bringing back The New Universe, in some form or other, in The Avengers In this case treating it as an event that can happen on all Earths in order to defend them from attack.

And this is what we learned. Remember the SHIELD comic with Jonathan Hickman that seemed to just… stop? Dustin Weaver said that while issue #5 of S.H.I.E.L.D is done, issue #6 won't be finished until after he's with his issues of Avengers Then once #6 is done, both it and #5 will be solicited in order at[...]

From Avengers #1, we get a rather entertaining comic book that posits seperate philosophies against each other. And then uses fists to decide the debate.

Chris Thompson writes for Bleeding Cool… just before he heads off to Malta! [audio:http://popculturehound.net/podcast/PCHPodcastEpisode18.mp3] Taylor and I have mixed views about this week's Marvel Now! books, and find we don't see eye-to-eye with Daniel Way's Thunderbolts #1 or Jonathan Hickman's much-anticipated Avengers #1. Taylor also chats with Ryan Ferrier (Tiger Lawyer and Challenger Comics) about his career thus[...]

DP7 was my favourite by far, an X-Men-alike series, told in real time with powered up people with uniquely exhibited powers trying to band together against the world. Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Jonathan Hickman Brings Back The New Universe For Marvel NOW!  In the eighties Jim Shooter tried to spearhead a brand new superhero continuity at Marvel Comics,[...]

DP7 was my favourite by far, an X-Men-alike series, told in real time with powered up people with uniquely exhibited powers trying to band together against the world. An attempt to bring the New Universe back with Warren Ellis as New Universal died on the vine a bit. But now Sam Humphries, who wrote with Jonathan Hickman[...]

It's difficult for a comic book to be as unpredictable and surreal as Manhattan Projects and still maintain as much of a satisfying punch on an issue-to-issue basis. This is what we have come to expect from series writer Jonathan Hickman, whose forte is this brand of retro sci-fi infused with postmodern gravity The Manhattan Projects[...]

Here is a shot that a nice retailer sent me… And with a number of stores being shorted on copies, this year's CBLDF Liberty Annual 2012, also featuring work from Jonathan Hickman, Andy Diggle, Ben Templesmith, Howard Chaykin, James Robinson, CHris Roberson, Roger Langridge, Terry Moore, Kieron Gillen and so many more, maybe in even greater[...]

John Cassaday on an ongoing? Allred on an ongoing by Fraction? Gillen & McKelvie together again? Oh god I've died, haven't I? I thought it would be a lot warmer… What's not being talked about nearly enough is Jonathan Hickman's come down from one of the greatest runs in Marvel history Not just talking Fantastic Four[...]

But, as it was the previous year, by the time the actual show rolled out, there were many female guests at the show. While Mark Millar took a lot of flak for that, his previous colleague and now sworn nemesis Grant Morrison also has his own comic convention, in Las Vegas, MorrisonCon. Robert Kirkman, Darick Robertson, Jason[...]

As well as Jonathan Hickman writing the Avengers Marvel NOW! Relaunch, he will also be writing New Avengers, with Steve Epting on art, with #1 on sale from January 2013. That means, of the NOW 21 titles, we currently know four, including All New X-Men and Uncanny Avengers… UPDATE: And Thor #1, Iron Man #1 and Captain[...]

All today, websites have been putting up bits and bobs from Entertainment Weekly's piece on Marvel NOW! relaunch. Bleeding Cool have had parts of them

Bleeding Cool previously reported that Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic were taking over the Avengers title Well, we may need a few more artists Who are happy with crowd scenes. Entertainment Weekly's Comic Con issue reports Avengers as one of the Marvel NOW! relaunch, stating; AVENGERS: The updated series promises a diverse sprawling cast that goes far[...]

The big game-changing event at the end of Avengers Vs X-Men, couldn't be the introduction to the Marvel Universe of Marvelman could it? I only ask because

Here's another filling that's coming loose. After his five year plan of writing Fantastic Four came to fruition, it's time for Jonathan Hickman to turn his long term thinking, planning and structure to The Avengers Brian Bendis has been writing the book for an age and is planning on moving on to something even bigger… Look for[...]

Apart from the Iron Man one, obviously… Could we see Rick Remender and Jeremy Opena on an Avengers book? New Avengers maybe? Could Mark Waid take over Avengers Assemble? What about Jonathan Hickman and Essad Ribic on either Uncanny X-Men or the Avengers books that's not the one Remender and Opena are on? And definitely definitely definitely Kieron Gillen[...]

In a playbook seemingly taken from KaPow, the Grant Morrison convention, MorrisonCon, being held in Las Vegas has announced Gerard Way, Jonathan Hickman, Frank Quitely, J.H Williams III and Chris Burnham as the first five of the ten guests at the event. Four more will be announced later (the final one is Grant Morrison, presumably) and[...]
