Feb 12th
Marcus Johnson and Cheese, two names you’re sure to run into in tomorrow’s Secret Avengers #1. So who exactly are these two characters? Why are they so important? And why are they leading the charge in this week’s Secret Avengers #1? Well to answer that question we need to rewind back to the “Shattered Heroes” aftermath of Fear Itself, Marvel’s big 2011 summer event, or more specifically the 6-issue limited series Battle Scars, written by Chris Yost, which ran from November 2011 to April 2012.

The Cover To Ex Sanguine #5 Gets A Little More Naked
Feb 11th
It is becoming almost common place these days to see a sexy cover solicited for an upcoming comic only to find the issues actual cover being a little more censored in the comic shop. People often complain until the publisher chooses to edit the picture, covering up naughty bits, making images less violent, or heroines less shapely. So it is quite the surprise when we see the dead opposite happen over at Dark Horse. Back in November of 2012 we saw the final issue of Tim Seeley’s Ex Sanguine series feature a very racy cover of Ashley straddling Saul Adams More >

Phantoms & Ghosts: A Rare Form Of Comics Variants
Feb 9th
Late last year 2 groups sprung almost out of thin air, producing rare and beautifully designed comic variants of indie Image titles for select comic shops around the US. Both groups had rather ghoulish names, the first being called Ghost Variants, with the other being referred to as Phantom Variants. Some discussion arouse about the two groups as winter of 2012 set in, but it mainly stayed in circles of hardcore variant collectors. Artist Skottie Young, however, has recently drawn many casual comic fans into collecting variants with his cute Marvel Now baby variants that are beloved by many and drawing More >
