The first of the Marvel Now! titles hit with Uncanny Avengers and following a good (but not great) AvsX event (reviewed here) I was interested to see just how things would go for the new direction Marvel have chosen to take.

Some comic book events will miss the mark and most these days seem to get a bad reception for another event being rolled out but in the case of Avengers vs X-Men….would we see anything new?

The ultimate Marvel team-up finally hit screens here last night for the UK, a week ahead of the US who get the film on the 4th May. The question on everyone’s lips since its announcement was “Could Joss Whedon pull it off?” (SPOILER ALERT!! – although I’ve tried to keep away from giving any of the finer details)

Avenging Spider-Man harks back to the Marvel Team-Up days and after an initial 3-issue arc we’re onto a series of one-shots where Spidey teams up with a particular member of the Marvel Universe – in the case of issue #5….and as you can see by that glorious Leinil Yu cover…..this time round it’s Captain America’s turn.

After reading the 5-issue Carnage mini-series in late 2010/early 2011 by Writer Zeb Wells and AMAZING artist Clayton Crain – I was pretty hyped for their 2nd mini starting.

One of the big highlights of Thought Bubble for me, and for many of the people I spoke to over the weekend, was the many big-name American guests in attendance. The CA gang were fortunate to speak to a few of them, including my personal favourite, artist Tim Sale.

If you think of a combo like Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb….you’re pretty much going to think that there’s nothing these 2 guys would work on that you wouldn’t read. The team that brought us DC’s Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Dark Victory also worked on some significant marvel titles too….the so-called “colour” series books.
