Doctor Who is celebrating his 50th Anniversary with a new companion, new monsters and the return of old enemies. As we await the return of new episodes and details of the 50th Anniversary special I am flashing back to my favorite memories of the Time Lord.
Marvel recruits superstar artists Brandon Peterson and Carlos Pacheco for Age of Ultron #6.
The greatest Avengers enemy has won. Heroes are dead. Survivors are devastated. Cities are demolished.
Captain America rallies the remaining heroes against the relentless army of Ultron.

Does this mean Logan will turn against Steve?
This week has been packed with previews of upcoming AoU issues! The finale will feature an epilogue co-written by Neil Gaiman and introduces the controversial Angela (of Spawn) into the Marvel Universe. An
