Two weeks, two high-profile writer swaps on major new Marvel titles. Last week, Marvel announced that Haden Blackman was taking over as the new writer of the forthcoming Elektra title, replacing writer Zeb Wells because of Wells' increased TV commitments. Now, the company has announced that Inhuman, one of the most-hyped titles coming out of the Inhumanity event, won't be staffed by the series' or

Marvel confirmed this week in a USA Today piece that following Joe Madureira and Zeb Wells' two-issue stint, Savage Wolverine will feature a three-part arc written and drawn by Jock, the great British artist known for his work on Vertigo's The Losers, DC's Batman: The Black Mirror, and numerous covers illustrations throughout the entertainment business. Beginning in September, Jock's story will find Wolverine marooned on an alien world in the distant future.

I love team-up books. Brave and the Bold, Marvel Team-Up and Marvel Two-In-One are some of my favorite comics of all time, because they operate on the simple premise that if one super-hero is good, then two must be great. So you take one of your best characters, someone with a strong personality and a knack for working in any kind of situation, and then throw them in with somebody else and send th

Rather than following DC Comics' "New 52" strategy of coupling many of its $2.99 titles with a digital download code for a dollar premium of $3.99, Marvel Comics has taken a different approach with free digital comiXology download codes automatically polybagged with the first, second and third issues of its $3...

Senior Editor Steve Wacker led an all-star panel of Spider-Man talent on Friday at Comic-Con International in San Diego, where the Marvel crew discussed what fans can expect from the upcoming "Spider Island" event, whereby everybody in Manhattan finds themselves in possession of the same powers as Spider-Man, as well as new series like Daredevil and The Punisher...

Marvel Comics announced this week The Avenging Spider-Man, a new ongoing series starring the legendary superhero and a rotating cast of guest-stars from the Avengers. Created by writer Zeb Wells and artist Joe Madureira and launching in November, Avenging Spider-Man is meant to be "a summer action movie in every issue," as opposed to the more character-based stories written by Dan Slott

New Mutants is a title with a lot of history, having launched the careers of Deadpool, Cable, and their artist Rob Liefeld into the stratosphere. On top of that, it's an integral part of the one franchise in comics that puts writers through the wringer more than any other in comics: the X-Men...

There was big news in the world of Spider-Man today, as Marvel announced at their Spider-Man Comic-Con panel that the "One More Day" era of the comics would give way to "Big Time" this November. Starting in "Amazing Spider-Man" #648, the book will change from a thrice-monthly schedule to twice-monthly, written by Dan Slott and illustrated by artists Humberto Ramos, M

Let's say I was painting a broad picture of a comic. It's a superhero comic, recently released. It features horrific violence, threatened rape, a grim and gritty revamp of an existing villain and, like a cherry on top, the sacrifice of a character's child to make the villain seem more evil...
