At Comic Impact, we sure do love our action figures and we do love seeing photos of toys before they come out. It is one big ass cock tease and now we get a look at Hasbro’s 3rd wave of 3.75″ Marvel Universe figures. This wave includes a few of my favorite characters in X-Men books (Archangel,Kitty Pryde) As you can see it focuses on the X-Men!
I will be on the hunt for these figures and I am sure they will end up on the site as a future Figure Friday. My favorite is the Archangel what can...

Did you know there is a film called Iron Man 2 coming out this May? Did you know that I love Iron Man? And if you’re not reading The Invincible Iron Man by Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca then stop reading this review and go and order Invincible Iron Man Omnibus, Vol. 1, you will thank me. Are you wondering how these new toys are going to hold up for fans of Iron Man like myself? Are they better than the ones from the first film?

Wow, more Iron Man news coming out today. I am just going to call it ‘Iron Man’ week. Well it looks like good old Shellhead will be the star of a few Marvel Variant Covers. Like I have posted before, I don’t care about variant covers, but I do enjoy nice artwork and I love the Mike Del Mundo variant that comes with Daredevil #506. I am not going to go out of my way to find it, but it is nice. We are sorry we don’t have the cover for New Mutants.
Here is the run down for all you Variant junkies.

Ok, here are some screen shots from the new Iron Man 2 trailer, and what I think is going on in each. This is just my thoughts about this film. Since Iron Man is my favorite character, I’ve been thinking about it a lot.
PLEASE NOTE there may be some SPOILERS, or it might turn out that I’m just talking out of my ass.
I guess we’ll find out on May 7th of this year. Be sure to stay tuned to ComicImpact for a special Iron Man 2 podcast the week the film opens.

I don’t know what to say, but all I can say for now is WOW. Here is the Iron Man 2 trailer that was aired straight after the Academy Awards. For those of you who’ve been living under a rock for the past year, here’s a brief synopsis of the film:
Robert Downey Jr. returns as Tony Stark, the wealthy playboy whose exploits as Iron Man are now public knowledge after his admission at the close of the first film. In the follow-up, Stark is pitted against his Russian arch nemesis, Whiplash (Mickey Rourke), and corporate...

Hey ComicImapct readers! Since I’m the new girl around here I thought I would write my first review about Girls Comics No. 1 by Marvel. It is done completely by women in the industry. Before any of you dim witted people jump to the wrong idea, NO, it is not all hearts and rainbows. Each story brings something both male and female comic fans will enjoy. Although each team up has it’s own feel, they all seem to fit together.
First I’d like to talk about the amazing cover by Amanda Conner and Laura Martin....

This week we’re going to take a look at a twin pack from the “Secret Wars” Marvel Universe line. This two-figure pack, (or as Hasbro likes to call it, this “twin pack”) is of Hawkeye & Piledriver. Im not going to bullshit you, I got this pack because I wanted a Hawkeye figure, I don’t really give a shit about Piledriver.
It also comes with a reprint of Secret Wars #9, but neither Hawkeye nor Piledriver show up in that issue. Well, now on with the review. Please note this review is for both figures, so I will...

I feel sorry for all you Avengers fans, who thought your wallet’s/purse’s could take a breather at the news of all Avengers titles being put to rest, and there just being a solo Avengers main title come the aftermath of Siege. Because our pals at Marvel have decided that just one Avenger’s book won’t be enough, so they’ve given us (rightly or wrongly) a new one!

Brian Michael Bendis will team up with John Romita Jr for Avengers #1, which will hit your local comic book store sometime in May. Yet the question is as to who would you, the comic book reader, like to see as part of this new Avenger team?

It’s a saturday morning, I’m preparing for my day. I’m chilling out listening to some John Mayer on the radio and surfing the ‘net. Next thing I know, my keyboard is soaked in drool because I’ve just stumbled across a preview image for the cover to Guardians Of The Galaxy #23 by Alex Garner.
Realm Of Kings was seen in for Guardians Of The Galaxy with the death of half of the team, including Adam Warlock (The Magus). This was a huge step to have taken a few months back when it happened, and if...

Do you remember last week when we posted about the Deadpool variant Siege #3. That Retailers can get if they send back some stripped covers of some Blackest Night tie ins.
Well guess what? That’s right, we now know what the cover looks like. My guess is that J. Scott Campbell or Deadpool him self is a fan of Ali G because this cover makes me think a lot of the character invented by Sacha Baron Cohen.
Now what do you think it will go for on ebay? How much would you pay for it? That is the true question. Myself,...

So this is kind of sad news for me as my favorite Marvel book (New Avengers) will end after Siege will be done. Sure it makes a lot of sense. After Dark Reign is coming “The Heroic Age” will be here.
Since the goal of Siege is to have the Avengers back as one team, the fall of Norman Osborn and all the Dark Reign stuff to come to an end, there is no longer a need for a book call Dark Avengers. Personally, I enjoy Dark Avengers a lot since it debuted in early 2009 and New Avengers made me fall in love with Bendis....

Fred Van Lente has just been announced over at Marvel, as the writer to take on the challenge of Marvel Zombies 5, along with artist Kano. This comes as no surprise, as Van Lente was put on the task of dealing with the Marvel Zombies back when he wrote Marvel Zombies 3.

As many of you know I tend to have a bit of a Brit Boner so we thought it HIGHLY appropriate for me to review this figure. I also am a big fan of these figures as a whole and feel that this figure stands out amongst the Iron men and Spider guys! I also am a big Union Jack fan…check out my Trade Tuesday on the Union Jack TPB.

Thanks to everyone for making the Gregg Hurwitz signing at Galaxy of Comics such a great day. For those of you who couldn’t make it down, you missed advice from Greg himself, on how to get your foot in the industry door.
We also talked about his recent trip to Australia and the yummy kangaroo meat he ate. Oh and I can’t forget the Moon Pies!!
Thanks to our friends at Galaxy of Comics for hosting this signing and a big thank you to Greg Hurwitz for coming by and hanging out!!

Sheldon is geeking out over DareDevil 501. Rob may have a new favorite horror book in Robert Kirkman’s Haunt. And me, I have the power of grey skull, oh wait no I don’t. I have the pick of the week! I am excited to read Jeff Lemire’s Sweet Tooth and finally my boy Deadpool joins The X-Men.

Its Pick of The Week time, and it looks like we’re giving you a slightly more chilled out podcast with just Sheldon & Rob, who will take the reigns and ride this week’s comics into the distance like the giddy cowboys they strive to be (not just in their dreams).
Rob has the POW this time around, and we’ll give you 2 attemps to try and guess what he chose! Bareing in mind that Marvel Zombies Return: Avengers came out this week. So join the guys as they toss between them various thoughts about the comics they...

Another week roles on by, and we move into a whole fresh week for new released. So let’s see what the gang have pulled for themselves this time over. Rob’s come out of hiding this week after last week’s shockingly poor issue of Marvel Zombies: Returns gave him some sort of fever (there’s a lot of illness going around the CI staff at the moment).
Rob’s got the pick this week, will he go for Blackest Night: Titans #2, or perhaps the final issue of Marvel Zombies: Returns. Will Sheldon be fond of the...

War of Kings is over! It’s finished, we’re done with that! Regardless of what you thought of War of Kings, it’s time to move on say Abnett and Lanning, whose reign over the Marvel Cosmos is arguably the work of Gods!
Roll in a new cross over event with many new tie ins, called ‘Realm Of Kings’. All I can say is that it looks mighty promising! What with the big battle between Vulcan and Black Bolt opening a fault in the universe, it also opens up the opportunity for more awesome cosmic stories. Although...

This week we’re going to take a look at Ms. Marvel from Marvel Universe. This is kind of a big deal since it is the first time we’re taking a look at a female sculpt, Marvel Universe figure. This line only has two females in it, the other one is Firestar from the 3-pack Toys ‘R’ Us Exclusive . Please note this review is NOT for the Ms.Marvel Classic figure.

As you know we do love New Avengers here at ComicImpact and since Sheldon is back from his birthday break we wonder, will he make it pick of the week or will he go with something like Fantastic Four #571 or Dark Reign: The List: X-Men (One-Shot)?
Will Rob cry at the end of Madman Atomic Comics #17 since this is the grand finale? Will Dana join a rock band after reading Killapalooza #5 (of 6)? I know I can’t wait for Invincible #66 as Artist Cory Walker is back on what I think is one of the best comics around.

Well it wasn’t Dana’s Pick of the Week but I know Sheldon and I are both big fans of Vengeance Of The Moon Knight #1. If your local store sold out of this first issue of Moon Knight where he comes back with his sights set on Norman Osbourn and crew then It Is ok.
Vengeance Of The Moon Knight #1 is going back to the printer for a new printing! This time with a David Finch sketch variant cover and it will be on sale on October 28, 2009.

The widespread popularity and availability of Marvel in the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s (it seemed like almost every store had a spinner rack in them) meant that any comic loving kid who grew up in those eras more than likely read copious amounts from those now classic years. Some of those kids grew up to become today’s top independent creators, and though their usual output shares little resemblance to the traditional superhero themes of the comic book publishing giant, they seemed to have gleefully accepted the chance to...

Occasionally when you focus a camera you noticed things that are the same but different, by that I mean that they are a bit blurry and not in focus to what will hopefully be a crisp, clear picture. Almost a doppelganger of what will be. The New Invaders written by Allan Jacobson with art by C.P. Smith and Jorge Lucas was that for me in a GREAT way.
The New Invaders Trade collects issues 1- 9 of the series and features Cap Johnny Walker, The Thin Man, Spit Fire, Namor, Joseph Chapman AKA Union Jack and The Blazing Skull. Just...

Putting aside the fact that the comics themselves featured many of the same classic characters we’ve known all our lives, the often-forgettable releases from Marvel in the 1990’s bares little resemblance to the company’s output today. When you factor in the abolishment of the Epic line, bad business practices leading to a glut of material (over 100 titles at one point), and their top name creators jumping ship to launch the instantly successful Image, you get a titan of the industry not exactly in the midst of a new...

After months and months of waiting, this Tuesday Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 will finally be released. If you haven’t been following, the game will roughly follow the events of Marvel’s Civil War storyline.
Details on how this will actually play out as far as gameplay goes hasn’t been touched on as much. In fact, most of the previews and revealings have been on what characters are in the game and how many different costumes each one has. What characters are in the game?

Been enjoying Uncanny X-Men lately? Then you’ll notice that fan-favourite character, Psylocke had a recent comeback to the vast line up of X-Men currently in continuity! I may not be a huge fan of the character myself, but I know she’s a knockout with some of the more longtime X-fans out there, and no doubt those of you who are, will be happy to hear that the deadly dame in purple is getting her own series in November!

Rather than approach this with a PR friendly attitude, I’m just going to come right out and say it. This weeks Cup o’ Crap Joe was a deliberate homage to Disney. It was an attempt to put a happy smile on an otherwise dark day.
Faithful readers, I’m going to be picking on Joe Quesada. This is a huge deal and higher ups stand to make tons of money off of it, Quesada is no exception. It was completely in character for him to say what he said during that interview. What you have to remember is that above all,...

Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past few days, I’m sure you’ve heard about the major media merger of Disney and Marvel.

The Rulk from the Marvel 3 ¾ inch series is actually a good figure in a very crappy line. I don’t like this series at all. I don’t like the spindly legs and arms. I don’t like the fragility of this line. I don’t like the double joints which is a big reason I didn’t collect the Marvel Legends series. And most of all, I don’t like the choking hazards disguised as accessories. The reason why the Rulk is a good figure is it strays from the spindly legs while keeping scale with the rest of the line.

Sony announced that they will be releasing a digital comic reader in November for the PSP and Marvel Comics will be one of the companies supplying them with titles. The titles will be limited to classic books and back issues though. This news is good for one reason only: it shows that Marvel is at least acknowledging the world of digital downloads outside of anything on their website. Other than that, this project is going to crash and...
