On ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., characters often joke that star-crossed lovers Leopold Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) share a brain The pair are even referred to as "FitzSimmons," they are a set – like the alien fighting version of peanut butter and jelly This week's episode, however, tested how much[...]

The Times reports that it was not DC but rival publisher Marvel Comics who closed the imprint, an act the paper considers ironic since Marvel just relaunched Vertigo last year in celebration of the 25th-Anniversary of the founding of Marvel in 1994 The company is celebrating their 26-th anniversary with a "DECADES" promotion, signifying the[...]

Yesterday, we reported on Marvel's big announcement that J.J Abrams will co-write a Spider-Man comic with his 20-year-old son Henry Abrams, in September, with artist Sara Pichelli and colorist Dave Stewart Or, as we put it: It can take decades of hard work to make a name for yourself in the comic book industry, rising through[...]

The Absolute Carnage super-mega-crossover event continues to grow, adding three previously unannounced tie-in one-shots in September: Absolute Carnage:

And it's generally something special… And in Marvel's September 2019 solicitations, Tom Taylor and Juann Cabal are putting it out there We've already had a number of rather special issues from them in this series, but something tells me that this may be a stand out… with an all-Mary Jane issue, and she's putting on the[...]

Marvel is known for killing off so many characters on a regular basis, they would soon have no living characters left… that is, if they weren't constantly bringing dead characters back to life at the same rate Last month at a Swedish comic book convention, Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B Cebulski discussed the revolving door of death[...]

Marvel's September solicitations are extremely heavy on the Immortal Hulk, one of Marvel's most successful recent comics, regularly outselling Batman as we've noted several times In addition to Immortal Hulk variant covers running across several titles, the month features the Hulk in the True Believers reprint line, features two more Directors Cut versions of Immortal[...]

Another Marvel comic is on the chopping block in September, but this time, it doesn't appear to be low sales that's leading to the cancellation of Doctor Strange, as the title sells around the mid-range for Marvel ongoings Instead, the solicit for September's Doctor Strange #20 claims that "an event so epic" it "shakes Doctor[...]

Eagle-eyed readers perusing Marvel's September solicitations may have noticed a glaring omission There is no issue of Shuri solicited for September And less eagle-eyed readers like ourselves might then be inclined to go back and look at August's solicitations and learn that there's no issue of Shuri solicited for August either In fact, the last[...]

The Marvel Comics writer recently asked fans to help decide whether he should cut his hair or grow it out, with 54% of fans voting for a long-haired Cates. I'm at a crossroads with my hair It's in that weird, impossible to do anything with it, length. Should I cut it short and clean or go for[...]

On ABC's Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., the ongoing love story between super-science geeks Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) has been a case study in poor timing and worse luck After years of will-they-or-won't-they teasing by SHIELD's writers, the fan-favorite characters finally got together Only to then be torn apart by story[...]

Perhaps hoping to get ahead of the negative publicity garnered when Marvel announced Marvel Comics #1000 with a roster of creative teams that consisted of more Al Ewings than it did women, the House of Ideas has officially announced the previously reported follow-up, Marvel Comics #1001, by frontloading the listed creators with women, about as[...]

Marvel has announced another 80th-anniversary one-shot, this time starring Canada's greatest (and only) superhero team: Alpha Flight!

is moving on the Marvel franchise This isn't that surprising considering he's been involved since 2008 [earlier if you count production] so it's something people have been preparing for The question then became what would happen to the mantle of Iron Man Other people besides Tony Stark have worn the suit so maybe it was[...]

X-Men: The Seminal Moments, the documentary web series Marvel has been posting on YouTube in advance of Jonathan Hickman's line-wide X-Men relaunch, has reached its final chapter And rather than looking back at the titular seminal moments of the past, this one looks to the future: to the upcoming release of House of X and[...]

In the biggest Marvel scandal since the time we learned Akira Yoshida wasn't a real person, or maybe even the time we learned Bill Jemas wasn't a real person, Marvel executive Joe Quesada has taken to Twitter to admit that he is the father of global entertainment superstar Donny Cates It all began when Cates[...]

We don't have to explain it." Those were words famously said by then-Editor-in-Chief of Marvel, Joe Quesada, about the widely reviled events of One More Day, in which Spider-Man made a deal with Mephisto to save his Aunt May at the cost of erasing his marriage with Mary Jane from continuity.   Except, those weren't actually his[...]
