At Kapow in London, during the Avengers Vs X-Men panel with Kieron Gillen, CB Cebulski and Joe Quesada, they showed off some upcoming Avengers Vs X-Men pages… one of which seems to show a certain Professor X returning for issue 6… We also got a teaser that Illyana and Black Widow will star in an Augmented[...]

And Reed Richards the most monstrous scientist that ever lived, with a glimpse at an Avengers Plus X-Men Versus Reed Richards event The multiple Reeds was an stunningly well executed concept in the main book, now we get to see where it began.    Hulk #7.1 is a very different beast, very much part of current[...]

Greg Capullo once said that, when leaving Haunt, he had a choice between working on Batman and Wolverine, and went with the relaunch of Batman with Scott Snyder. Turns out that the temptation may have been even harder, and that he was offered the opportunity to draw Avengers Vs X-Men In an interview he says; "So I[...]

Dr Manolis Vamvounis writes for Bleeding Cool. Last week in comics: WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN #10 alone makes up for everything that's sucked in AVX so far The major mutant players come together at the Jean Grey school and actually behave like the characters we know for a change Cyclops and Wolvie have an insightful discussion about[...]

I understand that the first two issues of Avengers Vs X-Men have sold through their third print before the issues in question have arrived in store, and Marvel is going to a fourth print on both. Avengers Vs X-Men #4, AVX: Versus, and crossovers for Avengers, Uncanny X-Men and Avengers Academy are all published tomorrow Expect[...]

This morning, Bleeding Cool reported the news that Neal Adams was to draw and co-write a First X-Men book with Christos Gage, following sources and stories over two years old We presumed it was his much-promised and signed-off Wolverine series. Well, it looks like we were half right (UPDATE: Oh look, Wolverine is in it.) Marvel[...]

Two comics, two companies, two franchises, two company crossovers, both solicited at the same time, both on sale in the same week. It's an odd world isn't

The First X-Men They'll tell you more about it on Monday Which gives us a weekend to speculate. Trying to get a steal on DC's September Zero Issues by telling a pre-#1 X-Men story? Bringing back the cavemen Wolverines created by Bill Jemas? Getting some of that X-Men First Class nineteen sixties vibe? Getting a lead on next year's[...]

There's been a lot happening in Avengers Vs X-Men this week Possibly more than happened in the actual comic Some of it gets a little confusing as well Let's see if we can work it out. Because although Wolverine was dumped, JJ Abrams Star Trek style, in the winter wilderness by Captain America… I'm not sure[...]

How do you react to a scene where Captain America is discussing IMPRISONING almost half the existing mutant race? Since issue 1 almost every single major hero has been behaving wildly out of character in order to serve the needs of the plot and rationalize the necessary amount of the promised Avengers-on-X-Men action But the[...]

So, the massive incentives retailers were given to order massive amounts of Avengers Vs X-Men comics have not only see the comics sell through once but also twice. I understand that Marvel is going back to print on Avengers Vs X-Men #0, #1 and #2 for a third time. That all Avengers Vs X-Men tie-in titles are[...]

Uncanny X-Men #10 and AVX: Versus #1 are both published today And both books seem to have a similar take on, basically Avengers Vs X-Men #1 and #2. Marvel have promoted Versus as having no plot, simply expanding battles from the original series And that's what we get, Iron Man Vs Magneto and Thing Vs Namor[...]

Where they have just got last week's comics…   In AVENGERS VS X-MEN #2 the fight is ON! The second issue of the mega-event contains a whole lot of punching, shields being thrown, optic beams and stabbing, along with an insane amount of deliciously Claremont-by-way-of-Fraction hyperbolic narrative The focus jumps across different battle match ups, ranging from[...]

Today, we get the second issue of Avengers Vs X-Men We've had the jaw jaw Now it's time for the war war And all the horrors that war brings The violence, the death, the stripping away of humanity and, worst of all, the poetry. That's right, there's nothing so much that defines a war as some[...]

From Jeremy Roberts, a tribute to Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's Justice League, by way of Chris Claremont and Jim Lee's X-Men #1…   From Jeremy Roberts, a tribute to Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's Justice League, by way of Chris Claremont and Jim Lee's X-Men #1…   From Jeremy Roberts, a tribute to Geoff Johns and[...]

We've already seen how some if the AVX imagery can trigger a 3D Iron Man walking around the device on your screen. But one of Bleeding Cool's more

We've already reported on the upcoming nuptials of X-Man Northstar and his boyfriend Kyle in Astonishing X-Men Marvel is still being oh so coy on the details and I'm starting to wonder if Rictor and Shatterstar or Hulking and Wiccan will pop by to make it triple gay wedding. Anyway, Marvel have told retailers today, regarding[...]

Due to legal issues, the French shop Comics Zone in Lyon that specialises in American comics held its Avengers Vs X-Men party last Saturday . They ran an X-Men cosplay competition, the winner of which will win the entire Avengers Versus X-Men crossover. Some are inspired, some are bizarre, some are… frankly… lazy But who will win?[...]

Here is a panel from one of the final pages of Avengers Vs X-Men #1 from Marvel Comics The print edition. And here it is again, in the digital edition. Note that the digital edition very kindly points out that this is a Shield Helicarrier, and where it is positioned but not in the print edition. Please also[...]

In 24 world, it was forgotten in an hour. That's what I feel about the first proper issue of Avengers Vs X-Men #1 Now there are some nice bits, from another glimpse of the plant people killed by Phoenix back in the day and Wolverine's mention of the "mutant community" making it sound suddenly more separate[...]

Avengers Vs X-Men #1 is now released in UK stores running the Marvel Avengers Vs X-Men #1 Parties. Alasdair Stuart is at Travelling Man in York, sending back photos and audio. "Of course the comic is as pro wrestling as they come, lots of muscles, spandex and sweating But there's a washing up bowl of Maoam on[...]

It was meant to arrive on April 1st for people who bought one of Marvel's approved list of Avengers and X-Men comics, in time to use it to buy Avengers Vs X-Men #1 today or tomrrow, depending on your store. Except no one seems to have got their coupon yet. I've been in touch with Marvel who[...]

X-Men through MTV's website, entitled War Journals Which means they'll get the video below. Unless they don't live in America, in which case they'll get something like this. It's possible this may be fixed at some time And then there are solutions such as TunnelBear, HotSpot Shield and the the familiar Daily Show workaround But sometimes they[...]

We've taken Steven Wacker's criticism to heart. Bleeding Cool had previously presented a series of Avengers Vs X-Men in a fashion that might suggest the principal male protagonists/antagonists were engaged in a courtship ritual in some cases, in actual on-cover sex in others Initially it was an attempt to deliver a little colour into the proceedings[...]

Check this panel from Avengers Vs X-Men#0, written by Jason Aaron And the police scanner that Hope is using to monitor criminal activity. The Isotope Bank And Trust, 326 Fell Street? A quick trip to Google reveals that in San Francisco, the bay of which the scene is set, on 326 Fell Street at Gough Street you'll[...]

StoreWatch: The famous Nottingham store Page 45 gets profiled by the local press. Page 45, in Market Street, believes it is the only comic bookshop in the UK and the US where female customers outnumber men. SalesWatch: Avengers Vs X-Men #1 gets a lot of orders, according to David Gabriel. We had an initial print run for "Avengers[...]

Bleeding Cool has pointed out how, after increased discounts and valuable variant cover distribution, comic book retailers basically getting all their copies of Avengers Vs X-Men #1 without costing them a cent. Well Ultimate Comics of Durham, North Carolina seems to have taken that to heart On April 3rd, for their Avengers Vs X-Men launch party[...]

They introduced the artworks of Hideko Mizuno and Moto Hagio, two leading Japanese manga authors in the early days of the art form. Mizuno, 73, has been celebrated as a shojo manga and the artist who began the style of drawing sparkling stars in character's eyes, while award-winning Hagio, 63, is often called "a god of[...]
