“Begin with the best super heroes in comics–Marvel does it first!

Huge story coming soon to fans, worldwide.”

Along with the stellar roster of celebrities folks can meet comic book legends who have made uncanny impacts on the heroes we see on the big screen. I’m most excited to meet Chris Claremont, writer of the X-Men series and creator of characters like Gambit, Emma Frost, Rogue, Sabretooth and Kitty Pryde. Claremont wrote my first comic book, Uncanny X-Men #116, and his work on the mutants is the comic book equivalent to the soundtrack of my life! The man gave us The Dark Phoenix Saga and Days of Future Past, inspiration for the upcoming X-Men sequel!

Denny O’Neil is another living legend famous for his runs on the Green Lantern/Green Arrow and Batman series with fellow guest Neal Adams. O’Neil was the Marvel editor of Frank Miller’s classic Daredevil run and returned to DC as editor of the Batman family of books to oversee modern classics Continue reading Emerald City Comicon 2013 Preview

Emma Frost is showcased on the cover of this week’s Uncanny X-Men #2. Writer Brian Michael Bendis teases what’s next for the former White Queen in his upcoming Uncanny X-Men.

“The Emma Frost thing is very interesting. This is the most controversial character amongst all X-fans. This is really fascinating. Avengers fans never did this to me, but every X-Men fan does. When they want to show me something about a character, they come at me with a visual aid. They cut out a panel or a page and either e-mail it to me or post it on my Twitter. It’s like they’re a lawyer with evidence. You would think that Daredevil fans would Continue reading UNCANNY X-MEN Emma Frost, Sentinels and the Traitor!

IRON MAN 3 Pepper In Mourning?

The Armored Avenger’s greatest enemy strikes in Iron Man 3. Will Tony Stark lose everything? Marvel revealed a very ominous poster for Iron Man 3 starring Tony’s great love, Pepper Potts. The poster shows Gwyneth Paltrow holding the damaged Iron Man helmet. If his helmet is in that condition that imagine what the rest of his armor looks like.

The film includes Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin and the debut of the Iron Patriot armor (worn by Don Cheadle’s James Rhodes.)

Robert Downey, Jr reprises his role as Tony Stark. Will this film set the stage for Iron Man joining the Guardians of the Galaxy?

Iron Man 3 arrives May 3rd.

UNCANNY AVENGERS vs.THOR?

Uncanny Avengers #4

Will Marvel’s new supergroup be destroyed by one of their own? The God of Thunder appears to be a hero possessed on the cover of this week’s Uncanny Avengers #4 courtesy Marvel. This is the big finale of the first arc by Rick Remender and John Cassaday.

In the aftermath of Avengers vs. X-Men Captain America and Wolverine assembled Thor, Rogue, Scarlet Witch and Havok to fight the power of a reborn Red Skull.

Rick Remender launched first Marvel Now book in a big shocking way. The Red Skull stole Professor Xavier’s the brain and turned it into the ultimate mind control weapon . I’m not ashamed to say I exclaimed “OH My GOD!” when I saw the villain holding the Professor’s brain over his desecrated head.

The Red Skull has been using the Professor’s power to incite anti-mutant hysteria turning ordinary citizens into obsessive and violent vigilantes. The villain’s mysterious S-Men have been enforcing his agenda. While the team may have survived the S-Men so far now one of their own could be turned against them!

The battle to stop the Red Skull’s war on mutants continues in the streets of New York as one member of the team switches sides! You could call the reborn Nazi scientist the Omega Skull since Continue reading UNCANNY AVENGERS vs.THOR?
