FIRST LOOK: Amazing Spider-Man #700 by Jen van Meter and Stephanie Buscema

While the main storyline sounds exciting enough, so do the backups and Marvel has provided the Beat with an exclusive peek at the van Meter/Buscema tale. It’s always a good time when the Black Cat shows up, and even better when it looks this great.

Marvel Tease X-Termination

Ed McGuinness delivers a fight between Wolverine and the Nightcrawler from Age of Apocalypse in this new teaser image from Marvel, which seems to be suggesting at the next storyline for Wolverine & The X-Men.

Morrison v Moore — the Comics Version

Comic Book Men: are they all still men?

Comic Book Men: are they all still men?

The arrival of this Comic Book Men recap reminded us of something from long long ago and the time known as 2011. Back when the show was announced, there was much complaining that a show called Comic Book Men did not reflect the actual world that we live in, where almost every comics shop has […]
