Is Sue Storm the only surviving member of the Marvel’s First Family in Age of Ultron? This week’s Fantastic Four 5Au give us ominous hints to the fates of Reed, Ben, Johnny and the kids. It’s the first issue to show us “life during wartime” as Ultron was in his finale stage of conquering Earth!
When the new Fantastic Four book kicked off – Reed took his family on a vacation to unexplored worlds and dimensions. It’s really just a cover for Reed’s hunt for a cure to a mysterious sickness that’s killing him and could potentially infect his entire family.
Matthew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class) teams up with Mark Millar again. Vaughn will direct a film based on The Secret Service for Fox according to Deadline. Vaughn directed a film version of Millar’s Kick-Ass. The Secret Service is a Millarworld creator owned comic book liked Kick-Ass. Vaughn and writing partner Jane Goldman have already completed the script.
When you look at the roster on the cover of this week’s Uncanny Avengers #5 you might think that’s an odd bunch – that’s kinda the point. This is the Avengers Unity Division. In the aftermath of Avengers vs. X-Men and murder of Professor Xavier, Captain America and Wolverine forged a new team made of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and the Children of the Atom. The team could barely unite when the reborn Red Skull emerged with the power of Professor X’s stolen mutant brain.
The first arc centered on rebirths. This issue begins with a birth (two to be exact.) Rick Remender weaves threads of his Uncanny X-Force epic and twisting it with the schemes of a classic Avengers villain. Marvel revealed this super group will face Apocalypse and Kang in the next arc. This is how it begins.

The new Doctor Who evolution blasted off with David Tennant taking over the role. Steely yet cheeky. Tennant’s Time Lord could be a powerhouse menace against any invader who dared to threaten Earth or tear our hearts out as he crumbled over the loss of a loved one (like a companion or genetically created daughter.)
In Season Two Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) continued her journeys with the Doctor until the heartbreaking goodbye after a Dalek/Cybermen conflict in Doomsday. Dr. Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) would pine away for the Doctor for one season before Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) matched wits with Tennant for the final season. Tennant and Tate were an amazing team with perfect comic timing – essential for a Time Lord!
Nova just blasted off! Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness relaunched the Human Rocket with a new kid under the helmet. Marvel revealed Zeb Wells and Paco Medina will take over Sam Alexander’s adventures with Nova #6.
“This is a story that’s been in the works for quite some time. Steve and Ed and I have been in the trenches of knowing where it was going and hoped new readers and the existing fanbase would embrace a new story in the Nova legacy. This is not a reboot or a reinvention, it’s another story. What’s wonderful about Nova is that you can follow the exploits of different characters. People are enjoying Nova and I hope some of that is the story, but I know we have an incredible art team” said Jeph Loeb.
