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…
You can tell it’s a certain time of the month when publishers start getting antsy about orders. Today, it seems, is that last day you can place advance orders of Hypernaturals #1 and Bloodshot #1, and probably lots of other comics besides, and still be assured of getting copies. And clearly both Boom and Valiant…

Elliott Serrano writes for Bleeding Cool; Greetings and salutations my good readers! Welcome to another installment of the longest running writer’s commentary for a licensed comic book in the history of comics! (I’m not sure that’s entirely true, but until something proves otherwise, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.) This time I’m going…
Michael DiPascale is a name that’s been on the periphery for the past few years, especially if you’ve been paying attention to Avatar Press and its sister company, Boundless Comics. He has a slick painted style that’s perfectly suited for pin-up artwork, which is why he’s so frequently contributing covers to the Lady Death and…

Dr Manolis Vamounis writes from Greece on last week’s comics. THE AVX UPDATE I’m warming up to the main AVENGERS VERSUS X-MEN series, just as the main players are moving on to colder and deathly colder climates.

Yesterday, Fox News decided to suggest that because DC have plans to reintroduce one of their iconic characters to the New 52 as a gay man, that meant that Superman might be gay. Today, the closest (and I originally mispelt that as “closet”) thing the UK has to Fox News, the Daily Mail does the…

Thanks to Fox for this one.
