Marvel News round-up from NYCC at my Marvel NOW! Fanpage

There's been a slew of announcements throughout the weekend from Marvel over at New York Comic Con - from new series for X-Factor and the Silver Surfer to what's coming up for my main man Deadpool and his team the Thunderbolts.

If you haven't checked out my Marvel NOW! Facebook Fanpage yet, you can find links to all the big News, Interviews and Previews there!

Marvel NOW! Facebook Fanpage!

My Marvel NOW! Fanpage has been building nicely, linking to the latest MN! news at Marvel.com, Newsarama, Comic Book Resources and more - and tying in with it having smashed through the 5,000 fans mark, I'm producing my first exclusive feature for it here!

*CONTAINS HUGE SPIDER-MAN NEWS! STOP READING NOW IF YOU WANT TO AVOID SPIDER-SPOILERS!!!*

There are some big changes coming to the Spider-verse; a new Marvel Knights: Spider-Man series starts next month, Venom's series is ending...Scarlet Spider's series is reaching its climax with Scarlet Spider #25...

Doctor Octopus appears to be back from the dead in October in 'The Arms of The Octopus' - a story running through All-New X-Men Special #1, Indestructible Hulk Special #1 and Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #1 - something which naturally gets the attention of the Superior Spider-Man!

Meanwhile, in his own books, Superior Spider-Man reforms the Sinister Six - in a story arc beginning in next month's Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #5 - but to what end!? Then November kicks off major Spider-Event 'The Darkest Hour' in Superior Spider-Man #22 - which will see Venom taking on the Superior Spider-Man, and will introduce the Superior Venom!

So with all that going on for Ock-in-Spidey's-body, it doesn't look as though Peter Parker is gonna be back any time soon, right - ?

WRONG. In December, Peter Parker the Amazing Spider-Man returns with five special issues - Amazing Spider-Man #700.1-#700.5 - from a ton of writers and artists! A blizzard's crippling NY, Aunt May is in danger, Peter and Johnny Storm take on the Fantastic Four!? And what is The Black Lodge?

That's enough Spidey for now though, Poindexter, this wouldn't be a Sam Johnson Mighty Marvel Missive without mentioning my main man the Merc with a Mouth!

On the other side of 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' arc: in December's Deadpool #20, we're treated to another Deadpool flashback tale, as Wade Wilson goes all Kirby-style cosmic and teams with Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy; and then in Deadpool #21, artist Mike Hawthorne returns as Deadpool sets out to finally get his revenge on Gorman--the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who stiffed him on the bill for taking out the resurrected dead presidents.

If you never caught my interview with Mike, offering some intriguing insights into the Merc with a Mouth, you can find it here - and you can find tons more MN! News & Previews at my Marvel NOW! Facebook Fanpage here!

For those of you who aren't already aware, when I'm not writing funnybooks and developing my machinations to work on Deadpool, I also run this.

And a Marvel NOW! Deadpool one, to boot!

New Deadpool/Iron Man Variant covers

'Iron Man and his many armors' are gatecrashing Marvel comic variants this week, including this completely-unrelated-to-Deadpool one for Deadpool #7:

Check out Wade Wilson's response to this below. ;)

The Merc with a Mouth also shows up in a Variant to this week's Thanos Rising #1; you can check that out at my Marvel NOW! Facebook Fanpage, and if you haven't caught my Preview of Deadpool #7--featuring Tony Stark and Deadpool, you can find it here!

Marvel NOW! Fanpage - What's New?

You can find a ton of new stuff at my Marvel NOW! Fanpage on Facebook, including some Previews of this week's MN! books, one of which, Superior Spider-Man #2, I was really looking forward to, but... well... check out my Review for GeekSmash.com

Superior Spider-Man is currently doing well in my 'What's your Fav. MN! Book so far?' poll at the Fanpage; whether issue #2 will change that remains to be seen, but meanwhile there's also plenty more new shiz at the page to check out, including a sneak peak at what's coming up for the Avengers. You can find it all on Facebook here.
