What? You think a regular-sized creative team can reboot a series this iconic?! Marvel is keeping secretive about what's going to happen in the opening 10-part weekly story, X-Men Disassembled (Iceman dies in a tragic jetpack accident while yelling "not like this!!" probably), but they did release some unlettered, uncolored preview art by Mahmud Asrar, and[...]

With this week's publication of Deadpool Assassin #6, it seems Bunn is done with the Merc with a Mouth as well, though he's definitely left his mark on the character, with Marvel revealing last year that Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe was one its best-selling trade paperbacks for several years in a row.

California Democratic Party Chairman Eric Bauman called for a boycott of the restaurant In-N-Out Burger after it was revealed the company donated $25,000 to the California Republican Party this week, but Marvel Entertainment has somehow avoided any such calls despite well-documented reports that Marvel Chairman Ike Perlmutter and his wife Laura Perlmutter have been longtime[...]
We've been mining a recent episode of the Word Balloon podcast for articles all day, but we saved the best for last.
In 1988, Marvel launched a new ongoing bi-weekly anthology title called Marvel Comics Presents, featuring several stories (at least one of which starred Wolverine) The comic ran for 175 issues, and gave us, amongst[...]
It looks like Marvel has got some lofty ambitions for their 80th anniversary, happening next year We've already heard Cebulski's thoughts on the current mission of Marvel Comics, but what about the company's legacy?
On a recent episode of the Word Balloon podcast, host John Siuntres played a recording of a panel he led at TerrifiCon featuring[...]
Marvel has long adhered to the motto of representing "the world outside your window," telling stories with political messages since Captain America was punching Hitler in the face In today's politically charged climate, will Marvel continue to take a bold stance on the issues of the day? Well…

On a recent episode of the Word Balloon podcast, host John Siuntres played a recording of a panel he led at TerrifiCon featuring Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B Cebulski, as well as two Marvel writers, Charles Soule and Nick Spencer Well, three writers, if we count Cebulski's alter ego, Akira Yoshida But that's neither here nor there.
During the panel,[...]
If you've ever wondered why Marvel comics seem to make less and less sense within the shared continuity of their own universe, with characters appearing in multiple books in the same months on completely different adventures and world-threatening events like invading celestial hosts going apparently unnoticed in other titles, perhaps Marvel Executive Vice President Tom[...]
Back in June, we learned that the cult-favorite Iceman comic would return with a five-issue miniseries in September after being unceremoniously canceled as part of a massive culling across Marvel's lineup.
In an interview with Newsarama, writer Sina Grace revealed the reason why Marvel decided to bring the book back.
Blame capitalism! The original series kind of[...]

Early looks and the first official second-season trailer for Marvel's Iron Fist have Netflix fans cautiously excited for the upcoming season – and that's due in large part to the eagerly-anticipated introduction of Alice Eve as classic Marvel villain Typhoid Mary Now the streaming service is giving us a look at Mary's deadly duality, using the show's[...]

That ex-Marvel publisher Bill Jemas was starting up a new comic book publisher and looking for people And that he may have been behind this wanted ad And I also heard that ex-Marvel EIC Axel Alonso was doing the same thing.

Like all X-Men comics fans, we here at X-ual Healing spend pretty much all our free time thinking about how Marvel should manage the X-books What? You don't spend all your free time thinking about that? What kind of fan are you?

Each week, Marvel sends out previews of all their comics shipping on the coming Wednesday To some websites Not to this website We've asked, but crickets That's their prerogative, of course.
You might think, in the year 2018, Marvel would just post their weekly previews on Instagram or Imgur so that they could be shared virally[...]
Did you know Marvel pays Chris Claremont to be a Marvel exclusive writer, but then hardly ever has him write anything? They're paying one of the greatest living writers of all time to not write anything It's kinda messed up, if you think about it.

Marvel has thrown a curve ball with the announcement of the Defenders comic they've been teasing all day long Instead of taking the boring old approach of gathering the original Defenders for another attempt at an ongoing series for the billionth time, Marvel has instead taken the bold new approach of gathering the original Defenders[...]
It's nearly quittin' time on a Friday, and Marvel has yet to officially announce that Defenders series they've been teasing all day So far, we've seen four teasers featuring art by Ron Garney and Richard Isanove and rudimentary photoshop skills applied by a faceless intern to caption them "The Best Defense." The latest sees Doctor[...]
