    Another preview we have from Marvel Comics, this one a sneak peek at X-Men: Pixie Strikes Back#1 which sports a cover from Stuart Immonen, is written by Kathryn Immonen, and features the art of Sara Pichelli (who apparently is my in country homie–maybe she will be at the Napoli in a couple of months?).

  • Dark X-Men #4 – Preview
    Haven’t been following Dark X-Men, but slightly disappointed if something called Dark X-Men is the reason they pulled writer Paul Cornell and artist Leonard Kirk off of (and cancelled) Captain Britain and MI: 13, which was among the best titles Marvel was putting out. Regardless, it’s a hell of a creative so I’m sure they are working it, team and this...

  • Amazing Spider-Man #619 – Preview
    In terms of our comic book previews, Monday means the embargo on Marvel’s upcoming issue of The Amazing Spider-Man for the week (coming out Wednesday, January 27th) and it looks like more Mysterio! The Cover reminds me a bit of an old Captain America issue (remember that era when he had to give up the mantle to Walker?)–them were some great comics (Mark Gruenwald...

  • Guardians of the Galaxy #22 – Preview
    I’ve missed the last couple of issues, but I see that Brad Walker is back on the art in Guardians of the Galaxy#22! More Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning with Marvel Cosmic goodness that you know I love! I know that DC, Geoff Johns, and Green Lantern in company are making a lot of noise for Space Operas in comics, but Marvel Comics has been on point up there since Annihilation. Guardians...

  • Fall of the Hulks: Red Hulk #1 – Preview
    Friday means that I go through the Marvel’s weekly batch of previews and pull out the BSC-approved one for our reader’s viewing pleasure (got to BSCkids for choice all-ages comics from the Mighty Ones!)! Fall of the Hulks: Red Hulk #1 caught my eye because it’s written by Jeff Parker, who I think needs to be flipping a coin with Matt Fraction to see...

  • Doctor Voodoo: Avenger Of The Supernatural #4 – Preview

  • Thunderbolts #140 – Preview
    Back this week with some previews from Mighty Marvel! Thunderbolts has just been a solid book, especially when you consider the players were all removed from the previous incarnation of the team and bumped into what’s been one of Marve’s bestselling titles (Dark Avengers). I liked Diggle as it was, but you throw in my boy from Agents of Atlas (see my thoughts...
