September is here and that means school will soon be back in session and that the New York Comic Con is only one more month away. Hopefully you’ve secured your passes for the event because I think its almost completely sold out by this point in time. If I didn’t mention it yet, I am going to be there once again and I find that doing these comic book announcements only makes me all the more excited about the massive convention. There is a lot of cool stuff coming from the Marvel side of the fence this month and I’ve lined out a whole wealth of them. As always the edited text and images come from Marvel Media provisions so let’s go.
