What happens at ComicCon stays at ComicCon....

What does every nerd and geek look forward to every year?  Well its Comic Con of course. So I went to my first Con ever..... official Con anyway..... and even in a small city it is still amazing.

Deadpool and the Predator face-off as Harley Quinn watches

Avengers...... Assembled!!!!

The Avengers!!!!!

Marvel is definitely off to a good start. With AvX trudging along quite nicely with all the promotional variants and tie-ins, Marvel made another big move with the showing of The Avengers movie. I was fortunate enough to have gotten free passes to the advanced screening of The Avengers (big thanks to Jeremy, Justine and the gang from Galaxy!!!) and me and my wife was taken for a great action-packed ride. So for anybody reading this and will still be watching the movie on Friday 04 May, be warned: SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

AvX!!!!!!!

(L-R): AvX #1 Team X-Men Variant, AvX #1 Limited 1:25 Variant cover by John Romita Jr., AvX #0 Limited 1:25 Variant cover by Jimmy Cheung (at the back), AvX #1 Limited 1:100 Variant cover by Ryan Stegman, AvX #1 Team Avengers Variant, (below) AvX #0 Limited 1:50 Phoenix Variant cover by Staphanie Hans and AvX #1 Limited Retailer Incentive Variant cover.

Avengers Assemble!!! It has been a long time since I have read that line. And with that Marvel kicks off probably the biggest cross-over for 2012: Avengers vs. X-men. There has been a lot of  big comic events that I have missed (Fear Itself, Dark Reign,Brightest Day, Blackest Night come to mind) and so AvX is a must for me. This big event is going to be written by the team of Brian Micheal Bendis, Jason Aaron, Jonathan Hickman, Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction with art by John Romita Jr. (wow!!! havent seen a JRJ for a while), Olivier Coipel and Adam Kubert.
