Fantastic Four Titles Canceled?

Walt

Media Release: More bad news for Marvel Comics fans as new rumors suggest that the two Fantastic Four comics will be put on hiatus because of the new Fox Studios Josh Trank movie. According to Bleeding Cool, Marvel is putting Fantastic Four and Ultimate Fantastic Four on hold because they don’t want to help promote the new Fox Studios film – as Marvel Comics is owned by Disney, which owns Marvel Studios and The Avengers movies. It’s said the members of the FF will still appear in the comics, but…

Spider-Man joined by Silk, New Female Superhero

Media Release

Lightning can strike twice — and so, apparently, can radioactive spiders. Marvel Comics is introducing a brand new character, a mysterious female super powered figure named Silk, in this Wednesday’s Amazing Spider-Man #1. And though she’s brand new, her origin is familiar to comic book fans. That’s because her spider-based powers come from the same irradiated arachnid as the one that changed the course of Peter Parker’s life. “The spider lived long enough to bite one more person,” explains writer Dan Slott. “When I pitched that idea at one of…

Silver Surfer 1 and the Impericon

Walt

On March 26 Dan Slott had a book signing at the Forbidden Planet Comic Shop in New York City and I am sure he was questioned about the direction he was going in the new series Silver Surfer. It reminded me of the movie I saw as a child called Forbidden Planet. It stared Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen and of course Robbie the Robot. It was years ahead of it’s time in 1956 and was a landmark classic in science fiction. It had interstellar travel ray guns and…

Peter Parker the True Spider-Man

Walt

This is a review of Superior Spider-Man 30 so if you have not read it yet (So where have you been) I suggest you don’t read this post right now but after you read #30. SPOILER ALERT. Superior Spider-Man 30 is one of the most satisfying stories that I have ever read. It has the climax and emotional twist that make a story interesting but mostly it finalizes what we all knew, that from Amazing Spider-Man 700 to Superior Spider-Man #30 Peter Parker is and should be the true hero…

Dan Slott Interview Amazing Spider-Man 1

Walt

CBR: Remember Peter Parker? Brown hair, a little nerdy, internationally beloved pop culture icon? Peter’s been mostly absent from Marvel Comics as of late, since the dawn of the “Superior Spider-Man” era in January 2013. As you are very likely familiar with, a circa late 2012 Dan Slott-written storyline saw perennial nemesis Doctor Octopus switched brains with an unwilling Spider-Man, just before Doc Ock’s ailing body met its seemingly permanent end. Things looked just about as bad as they could get for Spidey, but a shred of Peter Parker’s consciousness…
