Marco Polo is as beloved a historical figure, shrouded in potentially fictional realities, as King Arthur.

Today, at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Marvel made their biggest announcement in sometime: the entire line up of their Phase 3 movies! This comes hot off the heels of Marvel’s trailer release for the final film in Phase 2, Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Oct 12th
When Marvel announced a weekly Wolverine series at New York Comic Con today, the audience briefly had to presume, that in the middle of the Death of Wolverine, this was how James “Logan” Howlett was coming back from the afterlife. More amazing and unexpected was that this freshly announced series, entitled Wolverines, doesn’t actually feature the Wolverine we all know and love. In fact, the series will feature other characters related to and pick up the mantle of Wolverine. An odd approach to a comic fans will have to commit $4 a week to, but Marvel has a plan that More >
NYCC ’14: Operation S.I.N.
Oct 11th
Falling out of Marvel’s big summer event and next week’s upcoming annual, Original Sin, is a newly announced Marvel mini-series that might also intrigue many fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s called Operation S.I.N. and it is a 50′s era mystery comic that seems like it will be Peggy Carter’s answer to December’s S.H.I.E.L.D. comic book series. Why do I say that? Because not only are we seeing Peggy Carter once more in comics, during a time that will be the height of her popularity as SHIELD’s blonde bombshell agent gets her own TV miniseries, but this might be More >
