Marvel Comics has announced that Kieron Gillen has been tapped by Marvel to head the Uncanny X-Men series beginning with issue #534.1. “When I joined Matt [Fraction] on Uncanny, I believe I said I couldn’t be any more excited. I’ve been proved a shameful liar.” explains Gillen. “I’m even more excited now. When I look at what we’ve got planned, and knowing that I’m going to be writing it, I just lean back in my chair and cackle until my fiancée starts worrying about me.” While Carlos Pacheco will provide the art for the #534.1 issue, Terry Dodson will provide…

Or – “Another Critical Favorite Goes Under Due To Sales… Meanwhile, Batman Gets Another 3 Monthlies.” I confess to being confused the first time people inquired whether I was bummed about the cancellation of this book, as I honestly hadn’t even had it cross my radar. I recall hearing about it, but thought that it was part of the Ultimate Universe, for some reason (probably Stephen’s repeatedly bringing up Ultimate Spider-Man and such during the podcast.) Either way, now that it’s retroactively a mini-series, I have arrived to see what the fuss was all about… (Thankfully, I’ve become inured to the…

We’ve seen several images of Chris Evans standing around wearing the Captain America uniform, and now we get to see the costume in action thanks to the L.A. Times who published a new photo from the upcoming movie. Way back when Blonsky took on the Hulk in the Incredible Hulk movie, I figured they would treat Cap in a similar fashion, and with more publicity stills being released, we’ll know soon enough. via L.A.

Or – “C’mon, ‘Mices On Infinite Earths? That’s Comedy GOLD Right There!” Retro Reviews generally have a simple premise: “Hey, look at this cool thing I read!” This one is all about that statement, with an added caveat: “It’s much cooler than you’d ever believe!”

Marvel sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of X-Men: Legacy #245 from writer Mike Carey, and artist Clay Mann.
I don’t know why the production company didn’t see the signs six months ago and stop production on Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. Plagued with injuries, the musical has been postponed, postponed again, and now, opening night is getting yet another bump. The press release has all the information, and though this seems like one of the biggest white elephants in entertainment, the preview shows pushed Spider-Man to be the number one box office grossing show on Broadway.
