Thunderbolts Annual # 1 - That Time the Thunderbolts Went Dungeons and Dragons

... and that time when Frank Castle quipped about being The Punisher and also that time when S.H.I.E.L.D. reveals they have a magic department called W.A.N.D. All of this happens in Thunderbolts Annual.

Frank Castle Killing Frost Giants

Leave it to Frank Castle aka The Punisher to crack a surprisingly unfunny joke while felling frost giants in Jotunheim. That sounds awfully familiar but I just can't figure out where I've heard that before.

W.A.N.D.



The Thunderbolts gets a little change of attire in this issue as well. If I may, I totally love Deadpool's costume. Reminds me so much of that "Deadpoolio" bit in the Deadpool game.

It's been awhile since anybody mentioned about Fear Itself and seeing Samuel Sterns aka Mr. Blue aka The Leader wearing a modified version of Iron Man's "The Mighty" armor made of uru metal, sure gave me a bit of smile. 

I'm sure this year's Thunderbolts Annual is still being sold in stores around the metro. Might as well get it. 

Deadpool # 18 Spoilers

So after teaming up with Wolverine and Captain America (really, to just boost sales), Deadpool and the North Korean X-Men Clones get back at the people that hurt them.

And if you're wondering what the North Korean X-Men team looks like, here they are running with Wolverine and a very exhausted Deadpool.

Some of the members of this faux X-Men are killed in battle with their Nightcrawler surviving (and gets to see his wife too). Deadpool on the other hand is hopeful that he gets reunited with the daughter he never knew he had plus the mother Carm.

Logan tries to dissuade Wade Wilson from looking for his wife and daughter but Wade goes on anyway. Then the most heartbreaking part.







Poor Wade. I've never seen him in such a sad state. Even the second and third voice in his head were pretty quiet.

Deadpool # 18 folks by Brian Posehn, Gerry Duggan, Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire.

Wolverine and the X-Men # 36 Spoilers

Following up on the events of Marvel's "Battle of the Atom" with the help of Jason Aaron and Guiseppi Camuncoli which transpire in WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN # 36.

1. Cyclops Teams up with Old Cyclops

Really cool moment when O5 Cyclops finds himself with his back against his older Phoenix Force corrupted self while fighting the X-Men from the future.

2. Jean Grey vs Emma Frost, O5 Jean Grey and the Stepford Cuckoos

Another cool yet poorly executed moment. The Cuckoos team up with the younger Jean and Emma to fight off the psychic attacks of the Xorn-ized future Jean Grey.

3. O5 Jean is stronger than Xorn Jean

In a surprising turn of events the younger Jean Grey beats her "older" self and makes the ultimate mistake of peering into Xorn Jean's mind. These two panels might just be the ultimate turning point for X-Men: Battle of the Atom. In fact this panel's effect might be carried over to the upcoming All New X-Men/ Guardians of the Galaxy crossover.

4. What Jean saw

Whatever the hell Jean Grey saw in Xorn Jean's head screwed her up badly as she immediately reliquinshes her first decision to stay in the present Marvel Universe.Again whatever she chose to do or not to do automatically leads to some interesting storyline in the near future.

5. Deadpool is hiding something

Prior to this Deadpool threatened the whole team with suicide if they did not stop fighting. He goes on a verbal tirade about how they mean well for the team and how it is important that the Original Five "do the right thing". We later find out that things are not what they seem. In fact, it looks like Wade Wilson lied about everything.

6. O5 Beast and Iceman team up with Magik and visit the Future

Magik takes Iceman and Beast to the future where we see that things are very, very different; particularly in the Jean Grey School where it looks so beautiful. And then they also have Sentinels patrolling the area.

7. A Second team of future X-Men

Sure we got spoiled with the cover for the next chapter of X-Men: Battle of the Atom but it's still a shock to see the actual team that will join the fight in the next few chapters. Whp are these guys? Since when did the X-Men have an Iron Man/ Sentinel member on their roster? Who's the new Cloak and why is Colossus rocking a metallic moustache.

Marvel Now Thunderbolts Minimates Coming Next Year

The Marvel Now version of the Thunderbolts are coming to a LCS near you come next year. This new box set will feature some of Marvel's toughest heroes working together on clandestine and dirty jobs no other heroes can touch!

Here's the breakdown of the characters (as if you didn't know them)

• Red Hulk (Thunderbolt Ross)
• Elektra
• Punisher
• Deadpool

And rather than give us an extra figure in the pack, we're given a different (not to mention weird) head sculpt for Rulk's alter ego...

Sucks though that they didn't include the Agent Venom version in this box set, that'd totally rock!

Deadpools Assemble Minimates Boxset Available at SDCC 2013

Deadpool and minimates fans should take a gander at this cool looking San Diego Comic Con 2013 exclusive 'Deadpools Assemble' minimates boxset from Art Asylum and Diamond Select Toys.

The boxset includes:

Deadpool Calls Hawkeye Archer Names

Another great panel from A+X # 8 by Christopher Hastings and Reilly Brown featuring the Deadpool and Hawkeye team-up.

So yeah, I wonder if Hawkeye ever makes it to the next Avengers movie if he'll be called Hunger Games. I mean we can scratch off 'Legolas' from the list because that's what Stark called him in 'The Battle of New York'.

Great going NINJA SPIDER-MAN!

A+X # 8 Spoilers - Deadpool Gets Called Ninja Spider-Man

Chalk it up to the humor for A+X # 8's Deadpool x Hawkeye teamup written by Christopher Hastings with art by Reilly Brown. 

Check out the full context of what I'm talking about after the cut...

Marvel Reveals X-Men: Battle of the Atom Crossover

With so many X-Men teams running around these days, it's bound to happen that they clash once more and it looks like we don't have to wait too long as Marvel Comics has revealed some details about the upcoming X-book crossover entitled "X-Men: Battle of the Atom".

The new book will begin with an # 1 book entitled "X-Men: Battle of the Atom # 1 which will feature art by Frank Cho. The story then travels to the existing X-books starting with Uncanny X-Men # 12 and # 13. The story then moves to All New X-Men # 16 - 17 followed by Wolverine and the X-Men # 36 - 37 climaxes with Brian Wood's X-Men # 5 -6 before ending with Battle of the Atom # 2.

So we've basically got all bases covered and just to make things interesting (or complicated) Marvel also revealed new characters from the future including:

Deadpool # 5 Spoilers

Some of the best panels and a rather shocking ending for Deadpool # 5

This month, we have Deadpool battling Ronald Reagan in a Russian space station with nukes. A cool dismemberment moment thanks to killer monkeys and an awfully sad ending thanks to George Washington.

Read more after the cut.

More DEADPOOL Goodness with Game Screenshots

Still waiting for the Deadpool game? Marvel released several screenshots for the game now featuring concept art for Genosha as well as more Cable and Deadpool scenes. 

More after the cut...

New Screenshots for Deadpool Console Game

We already know that for the new Deadpool game Cable, Domino and Death herself will make an appearance. We also know that the game will be funny as heck so it's time to look at the action aspect for the game via these new screenshots. 

Check out the other screenshots after the cut...

Cable and Domino Set to Appear in Deadpool Game

Fans eagerly anticipating the release of the "Deadpool" game should probably be more excited since it's been unofficially revealed that longtime Deadpool associates Cable (Nathan Summers) and Domino will be appearing in Wade Wilson's console game.

The news was to be originally released through the Xbox 360 Online Magazine but Deadpool creator and Cable's co-creator Rob Liefeld decided to break it all out pictures and all. 

Uncanny X-Force # 35 - Guess Who's Back

Fantomex returns in Uncanny X-Force # 35 by Rick Remender and Phil Noto.

So yeah, after Remender shocks us with the seeming death of Fantomex at the hands of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, he's suddenly backed. 

Uncanny X-Force # 35 - Touching Scene Between Deadpool and Genesis

A lot of great things have happened in the pages of Uncanny X-Force # 35 by Rick Remender with art by Phil Noto.

It's the final issue so rather than just laying all the great moments in one post, I'm making this a multi-parter. I'd like to savor the moment for a great finale and secondly I'd like to focus on the more in-depth character developments. 

The Skottie Young Cover for Thunderbolts # 1

Aaaaand here's the cover for the Marvel Now relaunch of Thunderbolts # 1 by Daniel Way and Steve Dillon.

Comicx Hub Offers Deadpool Variant for Uncanny Avengers # 1 for P200

I got an email from our dear friends from Comicx Hub about their plans for the upcoming Marvel NOW relaunch. It seems like there's a party brewing as well tons of Deadpool "Call me Maybe" variant covers for Uncanny X-Men # 1.

Presenting the Deadpool Hoodie

I came upon this while checking out Previews magazine. Right now this hoodie featuring the likeness of Deadpool just trumped the old school charm of the Captain America hoodie I featured before.

I definitely plan to get this before the release of the Deadpool video game from Marvel. 

Uncanny X-Force # 29 Spoilers - Who's Tapping Who?

This issue [Uncanny X-Force # 29] shows us that love can spring and blossom even for clandestine black ops mutant killers...

New Covers for Fantastic Four, FF, Indestructible Hulk and Deadpool

... and they're all in # 1 form nonetheless.

Indestructible Hulk # 1 will be written by Mark Waid with art by Filipino pride Leinil Yu. This is pretty interesting especially since we're seeing something familiar and strange for this "new" Hulk.

New Marvel Legends Figures include The Punisher and Blade

Here's a new set of Marvel Legends figures coming soon.
