Press Release

REVIEW: Thunderbolts #3
I started picking up this book because I so loved the previous Thunderbolts comic. By keeping the same title, Marvel has played upon the goodwill that they previously built up to get me to give this one a chance. But, for good or ill, this is not the Thunderbolts that you remember. Has Marvel leveraged the Thunderbolts brand to introduce me to a new book that I’ll enjoy, or have they trod its good name into the mud, forever tainting the happy memories I associated with it?
The Future of Marvel is making out…

REVIEW: Thunderbolts #2
They are all heroes who had, or have, their own individual titles: Red Hulk, Punisher, Deadpool, Elektra, and Venom. Formed by General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, his team of Thunderbolts is charged with “cutting out evil like a cancer.” Can this group of loners fall in line while sharing the same red and black color scheme?
REVIEW: Thunderbolts #1
The Marvel NOW! Initiative rolls forward, featuring soft reboots and gentle nudges ton established continuity. Perhaps one of the more drastic changes to the Marvel Universe occurs within the pages of Thunderbolts #1. A new team, a new mission…will this be a new addition to your pull list? The review awaits after the jump!

Marvel continues to tease Marvel NOW! launch and the pairing of Daniel Way and Steve Dillon on a new book. Though I don’t know what specific book Marvel is teasing, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was the teaser for a new Thunderbolts series.
via MarvelMarvel celebrates 70th Anniversary at local comic shops
While the Marvel banner hasn’t been around for 70 years (Marvel proper began in 1961, but Timely Publications goes all the way back to 1939), Marvel will host a 70th Anniversary celebration at comic book stores across the nation on August 11, 2009. Sounds like a good time, until the announcement that Marvel was sending creators and Marvel characters not to the LCS, but to Barnes & Noble book stores. That’s sure to cause some controversy among all the fun.
The complete list of participating stores can be found here, while the Barnes & Noble breakdown is after the jump.
Deadpool sells out, back to press
Deadpool #11 has sold out at the distributor level, prompting Marvel to send the issue back to press featuring Paco Medina’s interior art as the variant cover.
Wolverine #75 back to press
Marvel has announced that Dark Wolverine #75 has sold out and is going back to press with a variant cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli.
Deadpool, the must see hero of 2009?
I generally don’t run Marvel press releases without heavily editing the content to strip out the unnecessary bits, but this one about Deadpool had me chuckling enough to run the entire thing.
