Marvel Teases Something “Amazing” Is Coming

While I don’t generally like doing these kinds, I’ve decided to do this one since its likely very connected to the “Amazing Spider-Man” titles. Perhaps this is a relaunch of the original “Amazing Fantasy” series that gave us Peter Parker and the web-spinner in the first place but who knows. We shall find out tomorrow and I guess I can add that the names listed below were heavily involved in the decision-making process. What do you think?

Exploring Book Expo 2017: Marvel Comics @ Javits Center

As already noted over on “The Chronicles Of PiercingKen”, I was once again exploring The Book Expo (which was previously known as Book Expo America) as a member of the press. I’m an avid reader and I love exploring this event to see what is coming out based on bands and comic book characters that I enjoy. This year, I learned of a Marvel Comics panel that was happening so I sat down and listened to what some amazing authors had to say.

The assembled scribes included legendary “Goosebumps” creator R.L. Stine, Margaret Stohl, Jason Reynolds and Rainbow Rowell (pictured from left to right). Each of them was working on or had just finished titles featuring Man-Thing, Captain Marvel, Miles Morales: Spider-Man and the Runaways.
