Hey, it’s not because we suck. We just, well…. damnitt, I can’t think of anything clever right now. My own gravity is sucking away the creativity! But no matter mi amigos, it’s Tiger Man time!
This week the Men from Mars peruse a plethora of pretty pictures and comic goodness. Will Spider Man propose to Mary Jane? Will Thor catch Loki in his latest evil act to over throw Asgard? Will Madame Masque get the better of Tony Stark. Wait, what? That wasn’t this week? Ah hell, there goes my memory!
I know the FX Con happened, Spider-Men got a lot of press and Marvel is teasing us like Richard Gere (Wait for it…. there ya go. Now you got it). Needless to say it was a wonderful week, so read on!
Today’s music is brought to us by Juan Corona via Garageband.com.
Welcome my friends, to the show that never ends.
MARVEL HITS FX CON AND TALKS DARK REIGN
Plenty of goodness came out of this one. Hickman will be writing a Doom one-shot and Fraction is on Emma Frost.
The “Man behind the Door” will be revealed post Dark Avengers/X-Men, when Hickman will be taking control of things.
Rafa Sandoval will be the new Initiative artist starting with #26 and will bring back Dr. Sax and Johnny Guitar.
A one shot with Sentry? “There is something bigger being planned, they revealed. Something bigger than a one-shot, but smaller than an elephant.”
X-Men Legacy will keep going with old school mutants.
Finally, on the Hulk, “Who knows,” McCann said, wrapping up the panel, “perhaps we’ll have a battle for the torn purple pants!”
AMERICAN WHAT?
According to signs, something points to “American Son.”

HUNTRESS: YEAR ONE JUMPS UP AMAZON SALES CHART
But why? Bulk purchases? Appearance on Brave and the Bold? Glitch? Shenanigans? Well, from one source, it was a bulk sale. Ranking can be updated hourly, so by no means has is sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Probably just a couple thousand, all to the same person.
