Marvel NOW! launches this October!

After DC Comics successfully made waves last year rebooting their comic universe with "The New 52", many have questioned and asked when Marvel will follow suit and do a relaunch of their own. Now, fans of the House of Ideas have an answer, as the publisher gears itself up to launch up a new initiative that will see the rise of new titles and the rebirth of old ones - Marvel NOW!

As reported by several comic book websites and Entertainment Weekly and partly teased by the Jean Grey teaser, Marvel is shaking up their universe and releasing new titles, among them Uncanny Avengers (with cover above by Joe Quesada), a new flagship title that will see characters from X-Men and Avengers team-up to form one of the biggest incarnations of Earth's Mightiest Heroes combined! The publisher however is quick to note that what they're doing is NOT a reboot, but rather a "new beginning" that will unravel in the coming months ahead. More details and notes are available on the story via the source post at Entertainment Weekly. Be sure to visit Marvel.com to keep tabs on the story!

Teaser: Marvel will see Jean Grey return (again)

The inevitable will finally happen... Again. I can't say I'm too surprised by this given her "appearance" in Avengers Vs X-Men. After all, she IS the Phoenix, and her return is one of those things that just has happen after a brief period of absence.

Reported by the likes of Bleeding Cool and Superherohype, it appears that Cyclops' ex-wife and x-Men teammate Jean Grey will be coming back from the dead and returning to the pages of Marvel Comics sometime very soon. Entertainment Weekly reported the scoop, and has also posted a teaser pic drawn by Joe Quesada to confirm that the former Marvel Girl and Phoenix will indeed be coming back. How and in what capacity though still remains to be seen. For more info and details on the story, visit the source post at Bleeding Cool, Superherohype, and EW!

Marvel Teaser: "FOUR" Teaser #3

Marvel and Newsarama have released the third teaser to "FOUR", which ushers in another pivotal milestone in the history of the Fantastic Four, or better known currently as the "Future Foundation" with Spider-Man as a replacement member for the recently deceased Human Torch. However, the new teaser by above as drawn by Joe Quesada confirms or suggests that Johnny Storm will be back in full force this November, suggesting that FF will reformat once more back to Fantastic Four just in time for issue #600 that month. To dispel speculation, two other teasers were shown previously, one with just the "4" logo, and the other showing the current roster for the Future Foundation. Hopefully more answers will pop up as we march towards November. For more info on the story, visit the source posts at Marvel.com and Newsarama.

Last Marvel "Fear" Teaser Poster and A Big Announcement Coming Later!

Here it is... The last "Fear" poster released by Marvel Comics! The tagline, begging the question "Do You Fear... The Legacy You'll Leave Behind?", shows a squadron of Iron Men charging to battle, with the giant mugshot of Iron Man looming on the background. Obviously, this is interpreted as the legacy of Tony Stark and Iron Man falling into the hands of God knows who... and his technology gets replicated to become another weapon for the highest bidder. Whether this and the rest of the teasers becoming a reality or not is still not for certain, but Marvel is holding a press conference soon to make a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT on what this new project for April 2011 really is. Right now, stay tuned for more updates, and check out more details via the source post over at comic blogsite Newsarama!

On a side note, Marvel's own editor Joe Quesada just posted a link of this drawing on his Twitter, showing a nifty colored sketch of Ol' Shellhead in action, which is part of a cover to be revealed on said press conference! What could it be? We'll just have to wait and see!
