So, anyway, a lot of this week's Avengers Vs X-Men comics could just have squee written all over them[...]

Last year, the PRISM Awards gave their honour for the best portrayal of substance abuse or mental health issues in a comic book to Cry For Justice: Rise Of Arsenal. Which was basically the equivalent of giving the Best Comic For Kids award to Crossed. This year, the award ceremony honoured a less controversial choice, Rob William's[...]

Seeing Iron Man and Thor are pretty much the essentials to get the most characterisation out of the film, Captain America for the MacGuffin. The lights came down, the glasses went on I have a slight stigmatism in my eye which, apparently, makes 3D films an issue for me, especially with fast paced action Guess what[...]

Coming out of the Diamond Retailer Summit is the news that Ultimate Captain America is to return as a series from Marvel this summer, expected to get big attention as the character is caught "a decision no superhero has ever done before… that can only be done in an Ultimate book" and once again a[...]

We know who the heroes are. We have a fair idea who the villains are. But there's one more thing we need to figure out...

Marvel Comics are running a promotion with comic book stores and cinema chains, to try and make the link with The Avengers movie and their offerings for Free Comic Book Day. On May 3rd, AMC cinemas across the US will be running The Ultimate Marvel Movie Marathon, screening Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Hulk, Captain America[...]

here are the double shipping comics in June. Amazing Spider-Man #687 and #688 – just like every month. Amazing Spider-Man Movie #1 and #2 – and a trade paperback collecting them both all in the same month. Avengers Academy #31 and #32 Avengers Vs X-Men #5 and #6, just as the last two months Captain America And… Hawkeye #632 and[...]

In the sixties, there was a British TV series that also aired in the US, called The Avengers. A tongue-in-cheek spy action adventure series starring a

The X-Men seem a little outnumbered by their Avenger counterparts in this line of Marvel comics stuff for pets. There are plenty of Avengers, but far too

The Captain America above, being held by Stan? He was crying moments later from jubiliation. What complaints there were, seem to be over queue management For some creators, they were just too popular, and Mark Buckingham was among those who found himself swamped with adoring fans willing to queue for hours CreatIRS, vendors and publishers I[...]

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. One has a Punisher skull on the back of his jacket Another has a Captain America star[...]

There's a stereotype that someone who reads comics, doesn't enjoy sports. I'm not sure how true that is, the same obsession that sees people memorise

Tony Stark/Captain America slash fiction, into overdrive… Expect lots and lots and lots of the above And in every one, Captain America at some point saying "Mr Stark…" Visual by Destiny Ponderosa.     His hands are in Tony's hair almost immediately after he climbs into his lap, carding through brown locks as he presses their lips together insistently[...]

Stuff happens. Yesterday in the Marvel Liveblogs, they announced that in April, Captain America & Hawkeye will replace the 1940s-set Captain America & Bucky, written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Alessandro Vitti. But it seems to be about to become a bit of a new Marvel Team-Up style, as this title and creatuve team will last[...]

I have been asked by a company who wishes to be nameless for now, who are looking for Batman-related cosplayers who would be available in Birmingham,UK on Sunday, the 5th of February. They are specifically looking for Batman, Bane, Catwoman and possibly the Joker, movie or comic book versions, along with Captain America or Iron Man. I'm[...]

That was Christmas. But enough about that. New comics hit the US tomorrow and the UK on Thursday (just like in the old days) and Grace Randolph and Think

Including, it seems, Captain America issues five and six, both published next week. As is Captain America And Bucky #625. So basically, if you like Captain America, then all your Christmases have come at once The Wednesday after Christmas, that is. It must be end of the quarter How can we tell? Because that's when Marvel Comics often [...]

Longtime comic book creator Joe Simon passed away earlier today at 98, according to a Facebook post from Joe's son. Simon is best known for his work as the co-creator of Captain America with artist Jack Kirby, but that is just one of scores of contributions he made to the industry, both as a writer and[...]

Continuing in the vein of the giant 'Assemble' poster we saw back in July Marvel have issued two new banner images to promote next year’s Avengers movie. You’ve probably seen them. If not, here they are.

The first Captain, Captain America, was big in this auction, with the highlight being Captain America Comics #1, graded 5.0 Extensive Professional Restoration by CGC, finishing tonight at $8,400 — an extremely strong price for an Extensive (P) Cap #1 in this grade. Many of the high grade unrestored Captain America Comics that come later in this[...]

US federal agents, working with Mexican counterparts seized seventeen tonnes of marijuana earlier this week, as attempts were made to smuggle the haul through two 400 yard long tunnels under the border between San Diego and Tijuana. After visiting Tijuana a couple of times while attending San Diego Comic Con… yeah. And in true All-American branding fashion,[...]

He wasn't the first artist to work for Marvel in the Silver Age, and he wasn't the most prolific artist to work for Marvel in the Silver Age, but when you

The film it was in aid of? Something called Frostbite. Doesn't take a genius to work out that this wasn't a Scott of the Antarctic adventure, and even a Supporting Artiste – intellectually-challenged that we are, of course – could use a famous search-engine-cum-verb to figure out that this was really Captain America. Captain America: The First Avenger,[...]

Which features the memorial service for Bucky Barnes – Captain America's sidekick in the war, who was revived as Soviet weapon The Winter Soldier and then became Captain America when the original was thought dead. During the issue you discover that the Winter Soldier identity, at least, is alive and kicking. And at the back there is[...]

This would have been a rather effective scene in the Captain America movie Right from the glory of the American propaganda shows, straight into World War II trenches with Dum Dum Dugan and Bucky Barnes being blasted by Hydra goons. It's one of seven deleted scenes in the Captain America movie. This would have been a[...]

So far, on the basis of the few snippets of dialogue on show here Robert Downey Junior owns the film but there's a lot that can happen between now and next May.

This is an image just teased by Marvel… And this is another teaser from not so long ago, that led into Captain America: Reborn. So… I wonder who's getting born again this time? Another Winter Soldier? How many did Russia have? In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some[...]
