Sup.

Do you mean Fear Itself?

IIRC, Thor was dead or rather erased from existence from The Mighty Thor comic book series from about issues 8 to 12.1, which was about 4 months.

Stuart Immonen Working On A New Bi-Weekly Comic For Marvel?

Spinning out of Heroes Con in Charlotte, comes the rumour that Marvel will be launching a new bi-weekly comic book, with Stuart Immonen, at least in part, on art. I hope we can presume some Kathryn Immonen input as well. And since it’s bi-weekly, could we also presume Steve Wacker will be involved because he seems to specialise in that kind of thing? It should be shorter than 52 and the like though…

It seems that a number of Marvel characters will be getting new designs and costumes in whatever the hell Marvel are planning to do in October, November and December. Anyway, that will be a thing.

And, as part of the Grand Marvel Switcheroo, after news that Ed Brubaker will be leaving Captain America with issue 19, yes, we appear to have Rick Remender and John Romita Jr on the comic…

Guardians of the Galaxy Movie Heating Up?
Marvel files 11 new trademarks for the superhero team.

Rumor has it that Marvel is currently developing a Guardians of the Galaxy feature film. Additionally, there have been whispers that a new comic from Brian Bendis is also underway.



In either case, Bleeding Cool reports that the company has filed 11 new trademarks for the superhero team, including beverages, furniture, jewelry, video games, food and entertainment services.

No official statement from Marvel has been issued at this point.

Marvel Comic-Con Teaser: 'This Is WAR!'

Update via CBR

Ooh, That’s A Point, It Couldn’t Be The Reckoning War, Could It?

We’ve been expecting news of The Ultron War for a while now, following Avengers Vs X-Men, and using the dredges of Bryan Hitch’s contract with Marvel to finish the pages. And when Marvel started posting images tagged with #thisiswar, for many people, including this site, this was a natural progression.

But Comics Alliance’s David Uzumeri makes a very good point on Twitter. Explaining why it’s in the Sunday Spider-Man panel. I presumed it was the last big Marvel panel of the weekend. But what if, as he suggests, it’s The Reckoning War?

For the last seven years or so, in almost every Marvel comic book he can, Dan Slott has been dropping references to something in the future of the Marvel Universe called The Reckoning War, that seems to involve The Watcher, the Fantastic Four, Gauntlet, Iron Man, Southpaw and many more.

In She Hulk, we discovered, from the Time Variance Authority, that an action by She Hulk would lead to The Reckoning War. And that this was a bad thing. It would devastate not only the Earth but the whole cosmos. Marvel people have told me that Slott has tried to get this plot to finally occur for some time.

After a successful run on Amazing Spider-Man that has, for many people, turned the tanker around… could this be that moment, at long long last? His reward? His final reckoning?

Let’s find out at San Diego Comic Con…

Say, could it involve the Alpha Universe from She-Hulk, as teased by a previous Marvel post, announcing Alpha as a new Amazing Spider-Man character?

Marvel Announces Breast Cancer Awareness Variant Covers for October

We see a ton of variant covers these days. Usually they simply feature art from another artist. There are times we see themes such as the "Avengers Art Appreciation" covers. Today, Marvel has announced a line of variants with a greater purpose. Whether you love variants or hate them, these variants are definitely worth checking out.

This October, they are hoping to raise awareness of the risk of breast cancer to both men and women.

'Marvel is proud to partner with Susan G.
