  Marvel revealed this teaser- let the speculation begin!

  Invincible. Kieron Gillen. Greg Land. Coming November 12.

  Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca are ending their run on Invincible Iron Man. This tease has to mean the Uncanny X-Men team of Gillen and Land are taking over with a brand new series starring the Armored Avenger.

  Marvel NOW! starts in October 2012 and will include 20 new titles from the publisher.

  Here’s a link to the Invincible Iron Man Omnibus Volume 1 collecting the start of the Fraction/Larroca run.

  If Gillen is taking over – I hope new villain UNIT will face Tony Stark – if Tony is still wearing the armor!

Marc Silvestri Image Heroes Exclusive at Emerald City Comicon

  Emerald City Comicon welcomes Top Cow Founder Marc Silvestri to the 10th Annual Seattle event. The legendary artist created this year’s cover featuring Image Comics icons atop Seattle’s iconic landmark the Space Needle. The amazing illustration will be available as a print at the Top Cow booth and a t-shirt at the ECCC booth.

  “ECCC is known as one of the best comic shows around and I can’t wait to hang out with the fans and share the love of comics!” said Silvestri. “I was honored when asked to do the cover for the con program to help celebrate ECCC and the 20th anniversary of Image Comics, and I couldn’t think of anything more appropriate than a West Coast version of King Kong! But, unlike the original chest-thumping ape, these Image monkeys aren’t falling off the building!”

  “Marc Silvestri is a creator that our fans have been asking about for a long time,” commented ECCC Convention Director Jim Demonakos. “To not only have him appear at the show, but for him to have created this amazing piece that celebrates both Emerald City Comicon and Image Comics, is really something special.”

Thanks to Jim and ECCC for bringing such a stellar lineup of guests, stars and exclusives for this year’s 10th anniversary! See you soon!
