Marvel Announces Phase 3 Of Their Cinematic Universe
Oct 28th
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. Some of these movies announced for phase 3 were titles we were already familiar with and sequels we expected. There was also a character we were disappointed to find did not get a sequel in phase 3. But to make up for the loss of a new Iron Man film there were plenty of great More >
Avengers 2: Age Of Ultron Trailer Leaks Online
Oct 22nd
While it was originally scheduled to premiere next week, during Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD television show on ABC, it seems Hydra has beat the heroes of Marvel yet again as the trailer has leaked early. Many sites are continuing to take down the leaked video per Marvel’s request, yet we know a site you can watch it on! The infamous Hollywood gossip blogger, Perez Hilton, is currently hosting the trailer on his website. It seems to be a shorter form of what fans in Hall H saw at the Marvel Cinematic Universe panel during San Diego Comic Con, yet it is More >
Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival Panels: Heavensward
Oct 20th
With the Fan Festival for FFXIV over now for a couple days, I’ve finally been able to go back through all the exciting things that were released during these two hectic days. I did not get a chance to sit and listen to every panel from start to finish, but I did manage hear about all the exciting points in each of them. A lot of the stuff talked about is coming out in the next couple of patches (2.4 and 2.5) along with some exciting things being released about the expansion that now has a time frame and official title.

NYCC ’14: A Weekly Wolverine Series Without Wolverine
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 >

We have a lot of love for Aspen Comics here at SG2M, so we were thrilled when they announced earlier today that they have acquired the exclusive publishing rights for the entire library of fellow Indy comic publisher Big Dog Ink.

With this deal, BDI will have access to a broader customer base at retail and digital levels and will also have More >
Harley Quinn Annual #1 Smells Like A Funny Cigarette
Sep 24th
The comic industry has long had an interesting relationship with drugs. Particularly marijuana, a smokable substance now legal in parts of the United States. To those in some of the inner circles of the comic community, it is not surprising to know many members in the industry partake in marijuana through various methods. However, it is often spoken of in public. Yet many of the underground comics of the 70′s blatantly featured characters imbibing and enjoying the once (and still, in some states and countries) illicit substance. Now we might have a surprisingly blatant use in a very mainstream comic More >
Marvel Cancels Upcoming Covers By Milo Manara.
Sep 23rd
In this Tuesday’s edition of Diamond Comic Distributors “Product & Shipping Updates” it seems that 2 upcoming variant covers originally solicited to be drawn by the legendary Italian artist would now be drawn by someone else. Siya Oum (Aspen’s Lola XOXO) will be providing the art for October’s Avengers & X-Men: Axis #1, and the artist for November’s Thor #2 has yet to be announced. While Marvel has not given any statement regarding the change, the internet is, of course, aflutter with speculation as to why, and attributing the change due to all the controversy surrounding November’s highly debated Spider-Woman More >
Colder: The Bad Seed #1 Preview
Sep 22nd
Writer Paul Tobin (The Witcher, Adventure Time: The Flip Side) and artist Juan Ferreyra (Rex Mundi, Falling Skies) are back for yet another of the dark and twisted horror series, Colder! While the team is also working on Prometheus: Fire and Stone for Dark Horse, this type of horror adventure gets much more in your head and doesn’t really let go with the stunning and nightmarish imagery provided in Colder. In the series’ newest volume, entitled The Bad Seed, life goes on for protagonist Declan Thomas after his deadly encounter with the psychotic Nimble Jack. Yet the story hasn’t truly calmed, More >
