Two days ago, Bleeding Cool ran the news that Loot Crate were telling comic book publishers that they were ordering 150,000-180,000 of a variant cover of Rocket Raccoon #1 to send in their monthly subscription blind boxes to fans across the US, which may go some way to explaining the 300,000+ pre orders that Marvel have[...]

Marvel have applied to register the name Jarvis for, what they describe as Computer software; mobile app; mobile app featuring a voice activated digital assistant. Jarvis, the name of the Avengers Mansion butler in The Avengers comic books for decades, was also reinvented in the movies as J.A.R.V.I.S (Just a Rather Very Intelligent System), the artificial intelligence computer that runs Iron Man's workplace[...]

When Amazing Spider-Man #1 launched with 700,000 preorders, I was briefed by industry insiders that Gamestop were responsible for a huge amount of these,

He's Vice President of Publishing at Marvel now, could this be an imminent promotion? And where now Xavier's Rebellion?[...]

The Marvel 75th Anniversary Magazine gets an Alex Ross Avengers cover… and a rare Alex Ross X-Men cover! Not a Fantastic Four cover though, obviously. Very pretty.But let's not forget Guardians Of The Galaxy.. expect some Rocket Raccoon lithographs with #1, and your retailer to have a bunch of these stickers as well… Why do I feel[...]
