Even if Matthew is not a big fan of all the Secret Invasion tie-ins, the complete Skrull invasion can’t be told without spilling into “a few” additional issues. Marvel has sent Major Spoilers two sneak peeks that tie directly into Secret Invasion – Avengers: The Initiative #16 and Black Panther #40.
With Danny Ketch back, what does it mean for Johnny Blaze? Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the issue that arrives August 20.
If you liked Mark Millar’s Wanted, then you will really get a kick out of Marvel’s Kick-Ass six issue mini-series, which takes a look at the question, “What would happen if someone tried to be a superhero in the real world?” The series has already been picked up to be turned into a movie, and has sold out several times at the distributor level. In order to get you ready for the next issue, Marvel is sending issues #1-3 back to print and collecting them in the Kick-Ass Must Have one-shot. Best of all, the price point for three issues…

If you missed all of the San Diego Comic Con coverage, there was a lot of stuff going on after all, IDW has sent Major Spoilers the rundown of all the new titles the company announced for the rest of 2008 and into 2009.
With Watchmen on everyone’s lips, it was only a matter of time before artist interpretations of the characters from the film an comic started popping up on the net. Here’s The Mico’s take on Dr. Manhattan. Looks pretty cool, but to see the rest, you’ll have to head over to his site. via The Mico

The story is set in a future where identity theft leads to victims having their minds erased and replaced by those of the elderly rich seeking a second youth or by criminals and terrorists with more sinister motives. A team of special agents, known as Reapers, are formed to track down and terminate those responsible. Too bad this is all fiction, as I would love a team of comandos to track down and punish identity…
