In the aftermath of the Cable and X-Force vs. Uncanny X-Force crossover Vendetta– there will be one single X-Force book. Marvel revealed plans for the new title by Si Spurrier (X-Men Legacy, Numbercruncher) via USA Today.
The rosters have changed but X-Force has always been the pro-active, clandestine unit of the X-Men doing what X-Men can’t…sometimes taking out their enemies before they can attack mutants.

You could call her Coulson with a very, very dark side!
A ruthless comic book character is making the leap to television in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Saffron Burrows joins the spy game as Victoria Hand on the next episode (November 12th)
Hand was created by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato during their New Avengersrun. During the post-Secret Invasion – Dark Reign era, Norman Osborn (Spidey villain Green Goblin) had convinced the U.S. government he was a reformed man and was put in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. which he renamed H.A.M.M.E.R. and he even had his own Dark Avengers(villains masquerading as the fan favorite heroes.) Hand was a S.H.I.E.L.D. accountant promoted to be Osborn’s right hand. After Osborn’s downfall Captain America recruited Hand to work for the Avengers.
From the new shots courtesy Marvel it looks like Hand is a major player within S.H.I.E.L.D. but if she’s anything like her comic book counterpart…Coulson and company should watch out!

Saffron Burrows as Victoria Hand appears on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. next Tuesday, November 12th. This could be a critical episode to watch for future of the series.
THOR: THE DARK WORLD opens Friday. Chris Hemsworth reprises his role as the Avenger from Asgard for third time. If this big movie is your third or first time seeing the Thunder God in action here’s a guide for Thor virgins or hammer wielding fans who want to get a refresher. Given the response to my Avengers for Virgins post I wanted to give an update of fun Thor basics and what to watch for in the sequel!
Comic Book Origin: Thor was co-created by the legendary Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby in Journey Into Mystery in 1963 and based on Norse mythology. The hammer wielding God of Thunder was a founding member of the Avengers as they assembled against the threat of his brother, Loki.
A brand new hero in her own solo book comes to the Marvel Universe in 2014.
Ms. Marvel is the code name now used by a teenage girl from New Jersey. When Kamala Khan develops shapeshifting powers she decides to become a hero and adopts the code name once used by her favorite Avenger, Carol Danvers.
Writer G. Willow Wilson tells Marvel.com what makes this Ms. Marvel very different:
X-Men: Days of Future Past may not be Hugh Jackman’s final appearance as Wolverine! The star and director James Mangold are in negotiations for a sequel to The Wolverine according to Deadline.
The special Captain Marvel Carol Corps issue is out today. To celebrate the arrival of Captain Marvel #17 I wanted to share the final part of my one on one with writer Kelly Sue DeConnick at GeekGirlCon.
The Carol Corps would love to see Carol Danvers make the leap from comic books to television or a movie. Could we see Carol on an episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or an Avengers sequel or possibly her own series or solo movie?
I asked DeConnick what’s the most important for filmmakers to get right about Carol in transitioning the fan-favorite Avenger from comic book to other mediums.
