Marvel Media Madness (with Android AR Review)
Apr 4th
Before I get into more on the Marvel AR app, I thought it prudent to point out some important dates coming up for Marvel’s media end:
Today, April 4th: Avengers vs X-men #1 hits stores. This is the first Marvel comic to use the new Marvel AR app. If you haven’t picked yours up already, you might want to head down to your local comic shop and see if they still have a copy. Remember, the AR app is a free download and makes the $3.99 price tag a lot more of a deal when you buy AvX #1 (which also comes More >
Playing with Marvel AR and AvX #1
Apr 2nd
This weekend I got to test out Marvel’s new AR app on an early release copy of Avengers Vs X-men #1. Unfortunately the app is currently only out on apple products (with android products getting a release of the app very shortly), so I had to track down an iPad. Let me hilariously point out, that it was much easier for me to get my hands on AvX #1 than it was for me to get someone to let me borrow their iPad. However, once I got the hardware I needed, downloading and running the new Marvel AR app was More >
Avengers Vs X-men #1 On Sale A Week Early
Mar 28th
Did you manage to pick up a copy of Avengers Vs X-men #1 today at your comic shop? Well, you certainly weren’t supposed to. Yet a number of comic shops around the world today didn’t seem to get that memo and put copies on shelves and into pull-lists a week ahead of schedule. However, are these comic shops truly at fault? Well some might say yes, it is unlikely many of these stores are purposely trying to stick it to Marvel or hurt themselves.

Marvel Ends A Generation, But Announces 2 New Ages
Jan 25th
Today Marvel has officially announced the cancellation of X-men: Generation Hope with issue #17. The series wraps up with the end of the current storyline on March 21st, giving us a climactic conclusion to where things will stand (and who will die) after Hope’s fallout with Kenji. This series end should also lead into this years big Marvel event, Avengers Vs X-men. AvX will see the return of the phoenix, likely having some involvement with Generation Hope’s titular main character. As such, it makes a lot of sense to free her up from her current on-going team book so that More >
