Marvel teases "Years of Future Past" for 2015

And now we can add another tease to Marvel's BIG PLANS for 2015... And it's a revisit and rewording to a classic X-Men centered storyline and will feature the House of Ideas' merry band of mutants as the focus!

Shown in CBR and Newsarama as the latest tease in a round of posters that saw revisits to classic storylines, "Years of Future Past" sees the X-Men groups of yesteryear on the spotlight, with the classic line-up from the 70's and 80's to even Kitty Pryde in her "Kat Pryde" persona and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. If this is tieing in to the big "Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars" event that was announced in NYCC this year... It's going to be BIG for Marvel no doubt about it.

Stay tuned for more news as it follows.

Marvel teases "Civil War" and "Age of Ultron/ Marvel Zombies" crossovers for 2015

After announcing to the world in this past weekend's New York Comic Con that they were going to bring a new "Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars" crossover event in May 2015, Marvel is further upping the ante by teasing even MORE events that revisit past ones and may further establish that something big is going to go down next year, where Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters and more of the Marvel Universe's landscape changes drastically.

The teaser seen on top (via Superherohype) of course is revisiting the classic 2006-2007 comic book event called "Civil War", which was written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Steve McNiven. The event saw a "Superhero Registration Act" enacted that divided the hero community and saw Iron Man champion the pro-registration team while Captain America rebelled and fought with the anti-registration side. Spider-Man was caught in the middle, and initially sided with Iron Man until tragic events made him defect to Cap's side. Unfortunately he revealed his secret identity to the world, and lots of changes were done to the Marvel Universe when all was said and done.

How this 2015 teaser speaks about revisiting a classic, we'll just have to wait and see.

On the flip side, Marvel also released a teaser image of a "Age of Ultron/ Marvel Zombies" crossover (via CBR).

What does it all mean? Again, we will find out soon enough from the House of Ideas themselves.

Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars announced for 2015

Just when you thought things couldn't get any crazier in the Marvel Universe... THIS HAPPENS.

Announced in USA Today and reported by Newsarama, the House of Ideas has revealed as part of their Marvel 75th Anniversary slideshow presentation in the New York Comic Con their plan for 2015... And it's titled Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars.

If the title bears any familiarity to longtime Marvel fans, it's because it harkens back to 30 years ago... When the first Secret Wars was initiated by a being known as The Beyonder, who plucked some of Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Villians and put them in a world to do battle against one another in a world called "Battleworld". The premise has been revisited in a sequel and used through other means... But this will be the first mega-crossover that involves no other characters BUT members of The Avengers and their past/ alternate counterparts (as well as Miles Morales, Ultimate Spider-Man), as depicted in this solid poster by the great artist himself, Alex Ross.

While no concrete details have been given for the storyline, it will launch in May 2015 (the same month as Avengers: Age of Ultron) and will be written by Jonathan Hickman and illustrated by Esad Ribic. Marvel Senior VP of Publishing Tom Brevoort went on to say:

""However massive you think this is, let me assure you it is bigger than that. It's by far the craziest thing I've dealt with."
