All-New All-Different Marvel... Breathe easy Spider-Gwen will be back and with the same creative team...

We are now averaging a couple of reveals a day. I'm also a couple of days behind now.

But this is an announcement I had been hoping for since it went missing on the monthly solicitations.

Spider-Gwen will return, from the same creative team of Jason Latour, Robbie Rodriguez and Rico Renzi. Her adventures will return to the Universe we have seen her in the first 5 issues with the opportunity to hop in and out of the All-New All-Different Marvel Universe.

I suppose by keeping Spider-Gwen where she was leaves room for the current Spider-Woman. But most importantly no matter which Universe she is in this Fall we will be getting more Spider-Gwen and hopefully soon we will have a more cemented date to mark on our calendars.

That only leaves a few titles that I am still hoping for. So far so good... lets hope for the next few soon.

All-New All-Different Marvel... Doctor Strange goes solo...

Free Comic Book Day revealed a new Avengers line up for post Secret Wars. More recently Marvel revealed the flagship title of All-New All-Different Marvel in Invincible Iron Man. The weekend just gone we found out about Spider-Man, Miles Morales that is, and his new on-going title. Well now it is time for Doctor Strange to take centre stage and Entertainment Weekly had the exclusive news. To be fair this was inevitable considering the feature film that will be arriving next year.

However this has a stellar creative team in Jason Aaron on writing duties and Chris Bachalo on art. Both creators whose work I am a huge fan of. I find myself reading most books by Jason Aaron nowadays and Chris Bachalo's art is a great fit for the Sorcerer Supreme. Also it isn't the first time these two have collaborated, previously collaborating on the critically acclaimed Wolverine And The X-Men.

The one common theme from the interviews regarding new titles is the length of stints they have signed up for and Jason Aaron is no different. If the article is to be believed he has plans for Doctor Strange for the next year or longer and in Jason Aaron I trust? Was this the creative line up you expected for Doctor Strange. I can't wait for that first issue, but like the others we will probably have to wait until October. But until then I expect we may learn more at SDCC.

For the full article check out the link below and also check out the character sketches by Chris Bachalo.

When I was beginning to lose faith in Video Games... E3 2015 comes along...

So just as I was beginning to give up on video games and next gen consoles E3 2015 comes around. I have always been a big fan of video games but since the release of the next gen consoles in PS4 and Xbox One there have been very few games to take advantage of the next gen consoles power also many games have been riddle with delays and worst of all launch errors. Some unforgivable. Keeping this all in mind however the one game that I have consistently been playing is Destiny. I constantly talk to people about how repetitive the game is however I always find myself going back, anyway I'm going off point.

E3 finally has announced several games that I just can not wait to get my hands on. There are only two games in this world that I will buy without question. Both of those receiving announcements and further announcements at this years convention.

First of all, and quite frankly most important, Fallout 4 has been announced! Yes Fallout 4, the game we have all been wishing for since the announcement of the next gen consoles, the game we have all been waiting for news on since the original release of Fallout 3, with New Vegas managing to quell the angst for a short time. Well now we know it exists and not just this we also know when it will be released. 10/11/2015 sees Fallout 4 hit the shelves, well I have already booked time off work and also after some deliberating have ordered the Pip-Boy Edition, but more on that later.

Fallout 4 sees a return to the fan favourite series featuring a new location, in Boston, a new protagonist, who for the first time is voiced, featuring both gameplay pre nuclear war and post nuclear apocalypse. Not much was given away regarding the story line and for way more info than I can type you can check out the video above which features the Fallout 4 E3 showcase!

What I will type more about is the Pip-Boy edition! This is Fallout 4's collectors edition and is just absolutely perfect. It took me two days after the announcement to decide I wanted one, and I'm glad it didn't take me any longer, as these are now sold out. What is contained in the Pip-Boy Edition you ask? Well check out the image below;

Your eyes do not deceive you that is a wearable pip boy which houses your phone to be used as a fully functional Pip-Boy by downloading an app for your phone which allows you use this as a second screen experience. But I guess we will find out more once it finally comes around which seems to be so so far away right now!

Secondly the Destiny Taken King expansion has been officially announced, after Red Bull giving away the title name. This will be released on the 15/09/2015, just over a year after the original release last year. This will also be the largest expansion released yet after The Dark Below and The House of Wolves. This will see a new sub-class be introduced, alongside more weapons, armour and of course another story plot to follow. The Taken King sees the Guardians taking on Oryx, the father of Crota who the Guardians previously killed in The Dark Below. So we have a pissed of father coming to avenge his son. Well there is still plenty more to be announced but alongside the confirmation of the title of the expansion and its release date a development video has been released along side a trailer and of course a collectors edition.

What do you think of the collectors edition. There is plenty for any hardcore Destiny fan to look forward to. Including a physical copy of those pesky Strange Coins you have to obtain to buy anything for Xur of a weekend. Along with the physical items there are several digital bonuses including early access to weapons packs, along with Exotic items. Is this something you will look to be buying? My main bug bear is that most versions that are up for pre-order include the original game and past two expansions. Well I already have all of these so why am I paying a whole loada money just to buy what I have again. Will I be picking up this collectors edition? No, I won't for the reason I just made and also it has to be something incredibly special for me to consider purchasing, like the Pip-Boy Edition for Fallout 4. However I will be looking forward to new missions to head of with my Guardian.

Finally, and by no means least. Star Wars Battlefront finally revealed game play for both Multiplayer and Single Player offline/ Co-Op offline or what seem to be called 'Missions'. I have been waiting for this game since its announcement when both the partnership between Disney/ Lucasfilm and EA was revealed. What do you think of the gameplay trailers and are you excited for this when it is finally released. I hear nothing but good things about it coming from various sites who have had exclusive access to behind close doors viewings. I've lost count how many times I have watched the gameplay trailers and I won't write much more and just let the trailers themselves do the talking. What I will say is this is one game I hope for some sort of Star Wars themed collectors edition, I can dream right? Lets just hope my ability at playing any sort of first person shooter improves before this games release.

Oh right yes, there is just one final trailer I needed to post, and I hope to post more about it later along side hopefully many more details. But as many of my friends know and also as you should be able to tell from my About section a new trailer and release period were announced for the next gen Mass Effect, I for one can not wait for more details on this and will be looking forward to Holiday 2016. What caught your eye at E3?

All-New, All-Different Marvel... Miles Morales is Spider-Man this Fall...

Spider-Man #1 Cover by Sara Pichelli

So it appears to be official. Miles Morales will be the new Marvel Universe Spider-Man post Secret Wars this fall when the All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe hits our shelves. The most exciting part of this announcement for me is, Brian Michael Bendis will be staying on as the characters writer and super star artist Sara Pichelli will be returning to illustrate the adventures of Miles Morales.

Now the article states that Miles Morales will be the Spider-Man of the Marvel Universe. What does this mean for Peter Parker? Well the article announcing the new Spider-Man series states that Peter Parker will be present as a mentor figure for Miles. Does this mean Peter Parker is heading for a temporary retirement? We will know more as July 1st approaches with the release of the free magazine which will feature the new titles coming this Fall.

For the time being lets just be pleased that Sara Pichelli's art will be returning to our shelves. Alongside my favourite character from the Ultimate Universe in Miles Morales. Right I just need to enjoy the remaining issues of Secret Wars before delving into this new Marvel Universe that looks to be coming our way.

All-New, All-Different Marvel... The post Secret Wars Universe...

It has been quite a while since I have written a post on here. To long in my opinion but life has been busy among other things, but this news had me immediately wanting to post something. As you may have already noticed, through the majority of my previous posts, it is safe to say that I am a Marvel fan. So with the recent teasers for the post Secret Wars Marvel Universe there is suddenly a lot to talk about and a lot to speculate. As any avid comic fan would know in the past few weeks Marvel released two new teaser images featuring characters that will obviously have some role in the the All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe that will come to fruition in the Fall this year, probably around September/ October time. It has been confirmed that all titles will be re-starting from #1, 8 months after the events of Secret Wars, it has also been made abundantly clear that this is not a Re-Boot but just a Refresh of the Marvel Universe all previous character continuity is still intact.

We have already had our first little look at the future of the Marvel Universe in Free Comic Book Day's All-New, All-Different Avengers where we were shown a team of Iron Man, Captain America (FalCap), Vision, Thor (Avengers NOW! Thor), Ms Marvel (Kamala Khan), Miles Morales and Nova (Sam Alexander). This was out first glimpse at the future Avengers team. Several of these characters featured in the first All New, All Different Marvel Teaser below, so lets take a look;

Okay, so in this teaser image starting from left to right we have, Agent Coulson, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman, Black Panther, Spider-Man, Captain America (FalCap), Steve Rogers, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Thor, Vision, Ms Marvel, Mile Morales and Red Wolf. What does this all mean? Well 5 of the cast in this image are already confirmed to be within the Avengers team post Secret Wars. Many of these characters do not come as a surprise other than Red Wolf who I must admit I do not know much about. Many of the characters in the above image are integral to Marvel's current cinematic and television Universe. Ant-Man having his feature film released this July and Black Panther making his first appearance in next years Civil War alongside a possible cameo appearance of the new Marvel Cinematic Spider-Man.

Another thing to take from this image is the 4 Spider-Folk, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman, Spider-Man and Mile Morales. That's a lot of Spider-Folk for one Universe, isn't it? Well Spider-Gwen has been incredibly successful since her first appearance during Spider-Verse, the newly designed Spider-Woman post Spider-Verse has been a very rewarding book, I have hear I must admit I haven't been reading it. Spider-Man, (Amazing), will always be a main stay in the Marvel Universe however there are those talking about this not actually being Peter Parker Spider-Man, but then again many didn't think that it would be Tony Stark in the Iron Man suit which we found out this weekend it would be, so I suppose we will just have to wait and see. Finally we have Miles Morales who in all honesty has been the only really success of the Ultimate Universe in recent years, who looks as though he will be making the jump to the new Marvel Universe, whether it will still be called 616 I have no idea.

Alongside this teaser Axel Alonso, Marvel Editor in Chief, confirmed that there will be a new Hulk and new Wolverine in the new Marvel Universe. Hulk has been teased to have ramifications at the same level of when they announced the new Thor from Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman.

If this teaser peaked you interest then the second will have sent your mind into over-drive, lets take a look;

Again starting from left to right we have; Doctor Spectrum (From Hickman's recent run on Avengers), Citizen V (Formerly the moniker held by the leader of the Thunderbolts), Rocket Raccoon, The Thing, Karnak (Yep street level returned from the dead Karnak), Hyperion, Inferno, Iron Man, Medusa, Daredevil, Wolverine (X-23), Star Lord, Doctor Strange and Old Man Logan.

What can we take from this image. Well I will start with the obvious, judging by Thing's new get up he will be joining the Guardians of the Galaxy post Secret Wars. The new Wolverine will be none other than X-23, alongside Old Man Logan, whether the two will have a relationship of sorts is yet to be seen. Doctor Strange is looking both younger and now wielding an axe, with his feature film being released next year it was inevitable he would become a character Marvel would be looking to push promotionally. Daredevil has got a new costume, many saying reminiscent to his Shadowland costume, personally I think this will be taking Daredevil in a new direction and also tying in closer to the nitty, gritty street level feeling of the Daredevil TV Series. So what have I missed, well there are three Inhumans in the image, Medusa, Inferno (A New Inhuman since Black Bolt released the Terrigen Mists, and Karnak yes previously deceased Karnak who has a new look, Iron Fist like in appearance. Then there are two characters from Jonathan Hickman's Avengers run still present in the image, Doctor Spectrum and Hyperion, what they will involved in in the post Secret Wars Universe is beyond my own speculation as I am not really familiar with the characters.Finally there is Citizen V, who after doing some research of my own, turns out to have been the persona that Baron Zemo took while leader of the original Thunderbolts so what does this mean for the Thunderbolts moving forward. Overall this image certainly holds more questions and excitement than the first.

The good news is, many questions will be answered come July 1st this year when Marvel will be releasing a free magazine in comic stores featuring the new titles and creative teams coming this October! If you had been keeping an eye on the news out of Special NYC the other week you will know that one title and creative team has been announced, and it is a star studded team. Invincible Iron Man will be brought to you by Brian Michael Bendis, David Marquez and Justin Ponsor, the fantastic team from the recent Miles Morales comic. Bendis is one of my favourite writers, I am two issues away from having a complete Bendis Avengers run along with Marquez who has long been one of my favourite artists since his Fanastic Four Season One OGN with Marvel. This looks to be the flagship title for post Secret Wars Universe. What else do you hope will be announced and who are your dream teams for your favourite characters? The post Secret Wars Universe sure seems to be shaping up to be very exciting...
