I never thought I’d see the day, but there it is. This image is from the Licensing International Expo in Vegas, which means this is the promo picture they’ll be plastering all over toys, lunchboxes, etc. It may just be me, but seeing these characters all together is without a doubt the coolest thing I’ve…
Rank of every comic movie ever made, as listed on Metacritic:
DOOM DELUISE: This past weekend, X-Men: First Class came out, and the two of us went and saw it together on Sunday.

I want my regular customers to get their copies. Then if there’s any left over, those knuckleheads…

Marvel is going to great pains to make this feel as special as possible. It’s reprinting the last four issues of FF the same day, the comic itself is being…
Dear Mark Bagley, My name is Aaron and I am one of your biggest fans. You were drawing Amazing Spider-Man back when I first started reading comics, and I rank you alongside John Romita as one of the two best depictions of the character in it’s nearly 50 years of existence.

MARVEL EDITOR: Come in, Mr. Yu. Have a seat. How was your drive in today? We have a lot of…sorry, excuse me, would you like a cup of coffee? LEINIL YU: Sure. MARVEL EDITOR: Ok, great. Like I was saying, we have a lot of important things, exciting things, to discuss with you today. I…
