Another great-looking Iron Man trailer. Interesting to see another suit of armour revealed (I guess Tony decides he needs an emergency more portable suit) and we see a little more of Black Widow (but not much). Most interestingly we see Whiplash’s involvement in the main plot and Hammer recruiting him.
Line of the trailer is either [...]

So the post-Dark Reign landscape of the Marvel universe is slowly starting to take shape, and with the latest solicits on IGN there are a few surprises.
The Heroic Age Magazine #1 cover presents an interesting line up. Some are obvious. We’ve got Black Widow (currently appearing all over the Marvel Universe for several months – [...]

This weekend, we got a look at Iron Man’s upcoming revamp, following on from the events of the last year.
With the revelation that the Skrull virus had nuked Tony’s Extremis upgrades, rendering his current suit a nightmare to control, and now his self-inflicted lobotomy (and the idea of him rebooting his brain from an old backup [...]

The official Iron Man 2 trailer is now up on Apple’s site or around the net.
Looks superb. Seems to have exactly the same tone as the first film and the cast once again looks amazing. And, of course, there’s War Machine
Also interesting to note that Tony’s clearly in a new suit at the [...]

Its a big week for fans of Iron Man. Not only do we get the latest part of the Stark Disassembled storyline, but we also get the final issue of the current series of War Machine. Its worth noting that War Machine should be read before Iron Man, as Iron Man will spoil the finale [...]

After 12 issues, the strong of Tony Stark being on the run from Norman Osborn and H.A.M.M.E.R. has finally come to an end.
I must admit. As much as I really enjoy Fraction’s work on this book, I’m unsure how I actually feel about this conclusion at the moment. The run has been filled with great [...]

When I first got back into comics in a big way, it wasn’t Green Lantern that did it. It wasn’t even DC.
Nope, it was Spider-Man. Specifically, the Clone Saga. A time of huge controversy in the Spider-titles as what started as an interesting idea, got thrown wildly out of control by marketing excess. By [...]

I’ve been a bit quiet on Dark Reign recently. To be honest, I’ve been thinning out my pull list (budgetary reasons), and while I’ve enjoyed some of the minis, I’ve had to make harsh choices and drop them. Also with the recent “The List” mini-event, I’ve started to feel Dark Reign’s starting to just become [...]

A while back I blogged on the trailer for the upcoming Iron Man cartoon, basically saying it looked terrible. Having now caught some of the episodes on Jetix though I feel an update is required.
Its not terrible. In fact, I’m really quite enjoying it.
Obviously, the show plays really loose with the Iron Man mythos. [...]

Captain America Reborn is Marvel’s big summer mini-event. A culmination of plots put in place by Ed Brubaker two years ago when Captain America was shot.
Firstly, to the negative. The truth of what happened to Steve is revealed (only partially to the other heroes, but we find out the truth from a conversation between Norman [...]
