Civil War 2 really under performed for us…could it be that our customers are tired of Marvel? Speaking of American Alien, that book has had crazy growth since the first issue It's been a consistent seller in the past few months Expect big things from that hardcover collection. With only Civil War 2 being the major[...]

If for no other reason than he pretty much saved Marvel Comics. 1998 and Marvel Comics is in turmoil Stock could be bought for pocket change The industry as a whole is feeling the effects of the speculator boom, gone bust With bankruptcy a possibility, they throw caution to the wind and set up what essentially[...]

Marvel has been busy today Along with the other announcements, they tell us that Carrie-Anne Moss who played Jeryn Hogarth on Marvel's Jessica Jones will also be appearing in Marvel's Iron Fist This shouldn't be too surprising to comic fans as the original character of Jeryn Hogarth came from the Iron Fist comic series where he[...]

I've been hearing very positive buzz about the upcoming third issue of Civil War II… no details just that it has a very intriguing plot twist that turns the series on its head. Well, Marvel's Senior VP of Sales David Gabriel has been talking to comic book retailers about Civil War II. How they'll be getting a[...]

The price could be low because the art only covers half the page, but that is how the cover was presented as you can see. You just don't find cover art from an established artist like Garney on a Marvel event going for that little As an example, right now on eBay, Garney's Captain America: Sentinel[...]

So why exactly was it that the Star Wars: Rogue One mini-series and one-shot comics from Marvel were cancelled months after being announced? I'm told it's all down to rewrites Re-writes, reshoots, changes to the movie and no time or budget for a comic book creative team to keep reworking and reworking pages. Shame They didn't really[...]

Which is the kind of thing that doesn't always suit a direct market serialised comic book where if readers don't quite get one issue, they don't bother getting the next. Bleeding Cool was the only site to report that Marvel would be sending out as many issues of #2 as a retailer ordered of #1, no matter[...]

I think this guy might be the one!! And also a big idea he has brewing… I had an idea for a Star Wars/ Marvel crossover event actually Totally self-contained and the story literally came to me when I woke up one morning I'm super-snowed with my own stuff but this seemed too great not to do,[...]

 Buenos Aires saw a Civil War on the streets this week, as Captain America and Iron Man put aside their differences and joined taxi drivers in a protest

Why do they remind me so much of certain Marvel Comics fans? But everyone's just getting a bit too familiar and jokey about their past versions of themselves. It was Superman who did it a few weeks ago As he, Wonder Woman and Batman headed off to fight some evil energy form of Superman in China, as[...]

So spoilers ahead. . . . . . The two-hour season finale of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD wrapped the season up but also reminds us that each season the series is something new The first season was about building the team and what happened to Phil Coulson Then everything changed and Coulson was now director and trying to rebuild SHIELD from[...]

A meeting with the current President. Now in the Marvel Universe, we know Barack Obama is the President of the USA. But in this issue, it's all kept in the shadows And Rhodes gets a new career path. That's right folks! Obama is looking down the road post Clinton/Sanders/Trump… but say, wasn't Tony Stark Secretary of Defense once?   He[...]

That's Marvel corporate, but now you don't have that problem anymore. Ike Perlmutter is gone. Yeah, Ike's gone But New York called and said, "That's money out of our bank." In the earlier draft, the woman was essentially Killian – and they didn't want a female Killian, they wanted a male Killian I liked the idea, like Remington[...]

Neil Greenaway (of NerdTeam30.com) writes for Bleeding Cool: Today I had the chance to sit in on a panel featuring Chloe Bennet, star of the ABC show Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I went into the panel not knowing what to expect from it I have watched most of the show (though I admit to falling behind[...]

But it's the appearance of the Harley Quinn and Suicide Squad April Fool Special that might promise much for Suicide Squad Rebirth from the same creative team of Rob Williams and Jim Lee. We are also in a world where the launch of Gwenpool beats out the regular issue of Star Wars. March saw Boom's Mighty Morphin[...]

The first ongoing comic book owned by a publisher that was both a) a sales success and b) cancelled at its height because the creators said the story was at an end, rather than being passed onto another writer. And now Darth Vader is being cancelled as of issue 25 with a double sized episode from[...]

Well, it seems that enough is enough and Marvel are cancelling both titles, and confirming that they will not be resolicited. Not so brilliant… Though there is good news for creator owned Bendis fans The Scarlet Vol 1 TPB has dropped from $24.99 to $19.99 and the United States Of Murder Inc TPB has dropped from $29.99[...]

The Marvel live action series Agent Carter is done after two seasons, but that leaves Atwell available to star in the new ABC series Conviction which got a series order. In the new series, Atwell plays a former first daughter who has gone on to be a lawyer who gets into trouble with cocaine To avoid[...]

In today's Ultimates, Captain Marvel can't believe that SHIELD folk are still messing with cosmic cube-like stuff after the Pleasant Hill debacle But there's proof that it is the same stuff that they're messing with in one of Al Ewing's other titles, Contest Of Champions, from last week.Contest Of Champions is also embedding Guillotine's history[...]

I've been calling The Vision by Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta (and now Michael Walsh) with Jordie Bellaire, Marvel's Watchmen. With today's issue I'm hardly going to stop. If Marvel play it right, treat it right, package it right, The Vision #1-#12 should be a perennial seller, both a critical and commercial hit[...]

This is the cover of Sensational She-Hulk #1 by John Byrne. And this is how it appears in this year's Marvel calendar. And, no, there are no mentions or appearances of other X-Men characters through the featured year…  which attempts to reflect the history of Marvel Comics through the decades.  Just no X-Men[...]
