Here are a few of the things Marvel has got planned to help promote the Avengers Vs X-Men crossover through the summer. And do you know what? I think it might just work. Avengers Vs X-Men #1 is a new reader jumping on point, for those unfamiliar with the current Marvel universe. Possibly obvious, but…
This is the planned artwork for Archie Comics #635 in July, leaked to Bleeding Cool. As earlier rumoured, it will tell the story of the global protest against massively unequal redistrubution of wealth and power, under the title Occupy Riverdale, echoing the Occupy movements present around the world. This continued the further progressive storylines from…
Grace Randolph, as well as looking at tomorrow’s comics today, takes on Benderspink’s blatantly open plans to use Arcana to publish comic books as a way to get Hollywood interested in their ideas… as well as evangelising for the medium of comics. Get your injection of Grace Randolph’s Stacktastic, half of her Think About The…
We already knew that something called Spider-Men #1 was coming. This teaser combining the Peter Parker and the Mirel Morales spider symbols got a few people’s attention and managed to draw a little attention away from Before Watchmen announced on the same day. Well, listed on Page 24 of the Marvel Previews, out shortly. “Opt…
Waaaaaay ahead of schedule, here’s the first actual clip from The Amazing Spider-Man to find its way online. A simple situation, pumped full of dramatic irony. I think the start of that will play a lot better with some score. Seemed “baggy” with just the street audio. The clip was released as part of the…
One has a Punisher skull on the back of his jacket. Another has a Captain America star on the back of his shirt. Another has a Spider-Man tattoo on his shoulder. We’ve had Teen Titans burning down the X-Men mansion. Now we have Nightwing symbolically beating up the Marvel Universe.
Disappointingly, the Mark of the Spider-Man viral campaign has yet to yield anything but a lot of geeks and nerds getting backpacks full of tat to sell on eBay, but there’s at least some little scraps of new stuff for us in his Belgian trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. Yet another reason to love Belgium….

A viral promotion for The Amazing Spider-Man is underway, based around the website Mark of the Spiderman. It’s looking to be one of the more elaborate, real-world ARG affairs, complete with hidden swag. Earlier today, a twitter feed associated with the “Mark” site distributed a series of geo co-ordinates, each leading to a local comic…
‘Nuff said, true believer.
Is it Spider-Man? Or has Iron Man just got a fancy new paint job? This is the costume he’ll be wearing in the upcoming Ends Of The Earth storyline, as the machinations of Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six are made clear. There’s webbing design on the lining as well.
Spider-Man: Ends Of The Earth is the storyline that writer Dan Slott says he’s been building up to, with Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six launching numerous world threats simultaneously. Marvel teased a look at the new costume Spider-Man will be donning, and now we get the colour scheme. Red and blue, mostly. Ends Of…
Is this our best, full-body look at The Lizard so far? You betcha. He’s still plastic, but he’s standing proud. Seems that Doctor Connor’s lizardification process swaps out one tail for another, know-what-I-mean-alright-am-I-right? Thanks to Little Bleeder Tom who dropped me an e-mail, saying: I’ve been following the slow reveal of the Amazing Spider-Man’s Lizard…
Here’s an orderly and dependable plot blurb for The Amazing Spider-Man, as issued by Sony and piling up across the net (and in my inbox) like wildfire right now. There may not be any bombshells in here, but the strands come together pretty clearly. You know – like a web. The Amazing Spider-Man is the…
Bleeding Cool has been telling you that Marvel was to launch a new series of kids comics based on their TV cartoons for a while now, Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Adventures and Ultimate Spider-Man Adventures. But we didn’t tell you who was writing and drawing them. Because we didn’t know. But now we do. And…
Courtesy of Midtown Comics‘ listings and skipping the trades, here’s a look at the Marvel solicitations for May 2012. One word of warning, the credits on these do get mixed up, especially when there are double shipping issues – and there are a lot of those this month. But those pictures sure are pretty. AGE…
We already showed you what the DC Free Comic Book Day retailer customizable version would look like. Now we have the Marvel version, only available to retailers who order vast quantities.

FastCoCreate has a new interview with Alan Moore talking about Watchmen – accompanied by the first art from Darwyn Cooke from the Minutemen book. It seems an odd article for DC Comics to have agreed to provide such artwork for, as negative as it is, including such paragraphs as; More recently, Moore says some lawyers…
Welcome to the Justice League Of Hanna Barbera, by Brazilian artist Daniel HDR. Can’t Boom just buy the rights and make this happen?
Neal Adams writes for Bleeding Cool, about Ghost Rider creator Gary Friedrich; Fellow creators, we can help Gary Friedrich without taking any kind of position in his case with Marvel. Gary is sick, and he’s about to lose his house, and though he will tell you he is not destitute, he needs help. If I…
This is the cover to Aquaman #7 by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado, the first part of the two part story “The Other League” by Geoff Johns. And from the solicits for issues 7 and 8… Who destroyed Atlantis? In the start of a new storyline, we follow the hunter as he stalks and kills…
