In this week’s Fantastic Four #5 Susan and Reed need some “Mommy-Daddy Time” so Ben and Johnny takes Franklin and Valeria into a living history lesson in ancient Rome.

In a hilarious hybrid of Brady Bunch and Doctor Who, Ben, Johnny and the kids encounter an alien and twisted Continue reading Fantastic Four! Reed’s Secret Exposed!

How did Bruce become the Bat? Scott Snyder follows The Court of Owls and Death of the Family with an eleven part blast into the past. Batman Year Zero will reveal the New 52 early beginnings of the Dark Knight. Snyder reveals why he wanted to tell this story:

I wanted to share part of Rick Remender’s thoughts on how Janet will fit into the Marvel Now and this hybrid team.

New Mutant Dani Moonstar joins Marvel’s new team book in Fearless Defenders #2 this week. Talk about action figures – check out Mark Brooks’s clever cover!

Dani was once a Valkyrie. I wanted to share part of writer Cullen Bunn’s recent interview teasing more female favorites joining the series:

“The basic idea of the book is that Valkyrie is choosing a new team of Valkyrior, and she’s been asked to choose all these women from the heroes of Midgard, instead of from Asgard. She has completely failed Continue reading Dani Moonstar Joins Fearless Defenders
