As odd as it sounds, C.B. Cebulski is taking on the Avengers and Spider-Man and turning the titles into classic fairy tales. Spider-Man Fairy Tales tells the story of Little Red Riding Hood, but Marvel Editor Molly Lazer warns readers well known characters may not be cast as expected.

Marvel Comics has posted an interview with Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways writer Zeb Wells, who is now taking the reins of the new Heroes for Hire. My stories will build on the themes and character interactions from Jimmy and Justin’s run. I actually take over with issue #8, which is the final part of a three-part story, so I obviously want my stuff to jibe with what came before. That said, we do start shaking things up fairly quickly, so current readers (and new ones!) are in for an exciting ride. Sounds cool to me! via Marvel Comics…

Issue #104 wraps up the incredible Clone Saga as Spidey takes on Doctor Octopus in the biggest fight of his young life with the future of all those that he cares for at stake. All three covers for Ultimate Spider-Man #104…
Or – “Forty Years Ago… Or Perhaps Some Time Last Week, Whichever…” So, foolishly, I didn’t realize when I covered issue 1 that this series is shipping bi-weekly, meaning two issues per month to cover rather than the usual one (or, if you’re reviewing Wonder Woman, the usual apologies and adjusted shipping date…) My enthusiasm for last issue was pretty much unbridled, both in terms of seeing a cool new series and seeing a classic Avengers lineup interacting in today’s more adult terms. There’s more of the same this issue, and the comparison to today’s Avengers makes for an interesting…
Rouge and her team of X-Men went up against the Children of the Vault in the last issue, but now Marvel Comics is debuting a new X-Villian for issue #194 – Pan. Who or what is Pan? What does he want, and what is Pan willing to do to get it? Marvel has sent Major Spoilers five page preview of X-Men #194, written by Mike Carey with art by Humberto Ramos. I have always been a fan of Ramos since I first came across his work in the pages of Impulse way back in the day. If you’re a fan…

MTV has posted a Behind the Scenes tour of the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer movie. The clip is hosted by Jessica Alba, and while we do get to see some production and a tour of the different departments, it is typical MTV fluff – in other words, don’t expect any major revelations. via MTV (link)
