Marvel Now is coming! It seems there are just not enough superteams in the world, and Marvel is bringing back two with rather checkered pasts: The Champions, something of an also ran in Marvel history, and the Great Lakes Avengers, a team that never even got into the race. But perhaps the time is ready for these offbeat squads.

Well, to be more precise, it’s probably going to be a 13-foot high statue of Chris Evans — not that there’s anything wrong with that. As USA Today reports, the 1-ton statue will debut at Comic-Con at the Marvel booth before gong on a cross-country odyssey that will end in Prospect Park, Brooklyn on August […]

Last night we showed you Marvel’s new “puzzle style” promo for their Fall event. Given the powers of crowd sourcing on the internet, we figured it’d be put together long before we went to sleep, but, shockingly, when we turned in at 3:30 am, Reddit was still chugging along. That’s more than 12 hours to […]

The day before E3 officially kicks off, or as some call it “Media Monday”, always boils down to a competition of sorts between two of the gaming industry’s titans; Microsoft vs. Sony. Every year this battle’s gravity can’t be compared to anything less than a heavyweight prizefight in Vegas. Unlike boxing, it’s ever rarely a draw. […]

Do you like a mystery? I thought so! Here's a good one. If you ask anyone around the Hollywood water cooler about who is the envy of tinsel town, most people would say it's Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige. His handling of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been little short of genius from a box office perspective, taking obscure properties like Guardians of the Galaxy and making them household names, and boosting even mediocre material like Ant-Man to "Hey that was really fun!" reactions. But is this true?

Hate and outrage have defeated love and optimism yet again. On Monday it was suggested that Marvel had a story trick up their sleeve that would steal the spotlight from DC's ramming-speed publicity blitz for its revamped universe and Rebirth #1. A shocking!!! plot twist in Captain America Steve Rogers #1 that revealed Steve was really a Hydra agent all along seemed unlikely to unseat a wholesale rewriting of ten years of DC history, along with a shocking Alan Moore related plot twist. But, today we have a genuine tweet storm and think piece blitz, all wrapped in a bow

Here we go again! Marvel has a new direction and it's charging right at you this faall with an ambitious new slate called MARVEL NOW! Which they did already four years ago. And it was followed by All-New Marvel Now. And then All New All Different Marvel (ANAD). So, Marvel please check in with Stan and find some new words! Bravura. Gorilla. Defy. There are plenty! So when you google for a headline this is going to be hard. ON the other hand "Now" is eternal and Marvel is always changing, so maybe it's a meta suggestion for the eternal flux and evolution of life in the universe.

This event, which pits Captain Marvel against Iron Man, is the latest in a long line of Marvel summer blockbuster comics. It is also a spiritual successor to the 2006 event by writer Mark Millar (Fantastic Four) […]

Re: Champions -There was also this TV show..they were kind of like superheroes : https://www.pinterest.com/SaffieRose/the-champions/
with a USAvengers team book also coming out with more of a youth/different type characters vibe, does this mean we’ll be seeing more classic line-ups in the main stream avengers books, ’cause it seems that most of the characters that marvel was moving heaven and earth to get into the main avengers books seem to be moving on into books of their own.
With Ms. Marvel (who can stretch), Spider-Man (who can become invisible) and Nova (who can fly and fire blasts from his hands) and the new Hulk (strong guy) it’s not The Champions, it’s the new Fantastic Four.
If Viv is there um… maybe she’s the H.E.R.B.I.E?
