  1. Last year, Marvel Comics proudly participated in The Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary celebration with homage variant covers of iconic Marvel covers starring Mickey Mouse and friends. Now, these best-selling covers are back, this time marking the 60th anniversary of two of Marvel’s most iconic super hero teams—the Avengers and the X-Men! The new DISNEY WHAT IF? VARIANT COVERS kicked off earlier this month with Amazing Spider-Man #41 and will continue to adorn select issues of Amazing Spider-Man throughout 2024. Also available as black and white versions, these covers feature Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and more taking over milestone moments in both Avengers and X-Men history. Today, fans can check out the next trio of DISNEY WHAT IF? VARIANT COVERS which will hit stands April-June. The new batch of artwork takes Mickey and the gang to the West Coast as they portray fan-favorite Avengers like Tigra, Mockingbird, and Wonder Man in an homage of West Coast Avengers #1. Back in the Silver Age, Donald Duck unleashes havoc in a new vision of Neal Adams’ revolutionary X-Men #58 cover spotlighting Havok. And Minnie Mouse recreates the most dazzling debut in mutant history, Uncanny X-Men #130, the first appearance of Dazzler!

  4. Last week’s ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1 was the most talked about launch in recent Marvel Comics history! Hailed as “a fully realized and fresh take” and “one of the most eagerly awaited new comics of 2024,” the issue’s introduction of the Parker family—including a very much alive Uncle Ben—has shown fans just how extraordinarily different Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto’s vision for Spider-Man storytelling will be. Today, get a sneak peek at the excitement that lies ahead in ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #2, on sale February 21! Marvel’s new Ultimate Universe was shaped by the evil Reed Richards variant known as the Maker. Travelling back in time on a parallel Earth, the Maker prevented young Peter Parker from ever being bit by that fateful radioactive spider. Now, 20 years later, the Universe’s own Tony Stark has given Peter the chance to reclaim the heroic destiny that was stolen from him! Taking on great responsibility as Spider-Man, an adult Peter web-swings into the New York skies for the first time, ready to use his newfound abilities to help fix the world in any way he can, all while balancing his new role with being a devoted husband and loving father. Taking place a month into Peter’s burgeoning super hero career, ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #2 will see Peter’s first super powered brawl—an electrifying battle with the SHOCKER! Peter won’t be the only Parker embarking on new adventures and taking down super villains. Peter’s beloved uncle Ben is an award-winning journalist, and alongside his trusted partner J. Jonah Jameson, he’ll pursue the truth of their corrupt world and the unrest that’s stirring around every corner—starting with discovering the identity and motives of the newly emerged Green Goblin! Get a glimpse at all this and more in today’s all-new preview. “My love for this character is no secret to anyone,” Checchetto shared. “As soon as I received Jonathan Hickman’s plot of the series, I was immediately fascinated with how he managed to create something truly fresh and new, while keeping the spirit and essence of the web-slinger intact. I really loved the dialogue and got chills drawing these scenes. We have the opportunity and privilege to create our version of Spider-Man, and for me, to create the entire design of the series.” “Throughout our run, expect changes and both classic and new versions of characters,” he continued. “One of the first you’ll meet is Shocker. He’s at the beginning of his career, so I wanted to create something different. Shocker wears a bomb squad suit to protect himself from the powers of his gloves, but still maintains some details of his classic costume. I had a lot of fun, and I believe it helps convey that we are at the dawn of a new storytelling universe. I would also like to talk about the origin of the Green Goblin's design, but I think it's more exciting to let you discover it by reading the fantastic story created by Jonathan!” Check out all-new interior artwork, variant covers, and Checchetto’s original design sheets and preorder ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #2 today! If you missed ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1, ask your local comic shop about snagging the upcoming second printing, available on February 14—exactly one week before issue two arrives!

  8. Internet action figure sleuth JTPrime has discovered a new listing of Marvel Legends figures that read as follows: MVL LEGENDS RETRO 6"' SECRET WARS 1 Product Number: G0779 MVL LEGENDS RETRO 6" SECRET WARS 2 Product Number: G0780 MVL LEGENDS RETRO 6" SECRET WARS 3 Product Number: G0781 MVL LEGENDS RETRO 6" SECRET WARS 4 Product Number: G0782 MVL LEGENDS RETRO 6" SECRET WARS 5 Product Number: G0783 MVL LEGENDS RETRO 6" SECRET WARS 6' Product Number: G0784 These appear to be comic book based figures that will see release in December 2024. The original Marvel Comics Secret Wars mini-series which debuted back in 1984 is celebrating it's 40th Anniversary and we all know how Hasbro likes to do figures for special comic event anniversaries, so we feel like these figures will have some connection to that. We also assume these will be on some kind of Retro cardback. Could the cardbacks be replicas of the original Secret Wars action figure line from Mattel? My initial thought would be no, but remember last year we got word that Hasbro and Mattel had started working together, so who knows maybe it could happen. With the figures being done on some type of Retro Cardbacks there likely will not be a Build-A-Figure in this wave, but my question is will we finally get a Beyonder Marvel Legends figure???
  9. Looks like the whole Netflix Daredevil band might be getting back together for the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series. According to reports by insider Jeff Sneider, both Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson) and Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page) from the Netflix Daredevil series will be joining Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio for the upcoming series on Disney+. Daredevil: Born Again will run for 18 episodes. Both Cox and D’Onofrio made appearances in the new Echo series now on Disney+ and Hulu and there was an after-credit scene attached to the last episode of that series that seems to be setting up the story for Daredevil. There were also reports back in March of last year that Jon Bernthal who played Frank Castle/The Punisher in the Netflix universe would also be returning for this series and last October it was reported that Dario Scardapane, known for his work on Netflix's Marvel series The Punisher, had been chosen as the new showrunner for Marvel Studios' Daredevil television series and that the series was undergoing a creative overhaul.
  10. Hasbro last month announced a new Marvel Legends Marvel Studios re-issue line that they would start offering in 2024 for folks new to collecting Marvel Legends who might have missed the figures the first time they were offered. The only thing really different about the figures from their original releases would be the packaging. The only two figures being released in this line in 2024 were said to be Iron Man Mark LXXXV and Iron Spider from the Avengers movies. Amazon now has placeholder pages for these two figures and listed the price for them as $24.99 each. No word on when they will officially be available for purchase, but likely soon.

  23. KID VENOM’s future in the Marvel Universe is here! Following his debut in Death of the Venomverse, acclaimed manga creator Taigami continues his vision of KID VENOM in an a four-issue solo comic book series this April. Earlier this year, readers saw the birth of a new symbiote legend in the pages of the Death of the Venomverse series. Set in 10th century Japan, the story told of a young hero named Kintaro who protected his village from mysterious symbiote attacks by embracing a symbiote of his very own! As he bonded himself to a new symbiote entity dubbed Clinter, Kintaro embraced his wild new abilities as Kid Venom! Now, witness Kid Venom’s journey take a dramatic turn deeper into the Marvel mythos when he crosses over into present day 616 this April! JAPAN, 977. Kid Venom has made his presence known to the evil symbiotes taking people and creatures hostage…but who else has their eye on Kintaro and his symbiote? Witness the world of Kid Venom expand as new characters and dangers are revealed! On introducing this character to the Marvel Universe, Taigami said: “It is an honor. I was a big fan of the Marvel Universe since I was in school, so this feels unreal that the characters and the stories that I came up with are in that Universe, and I still can’t believe it! “Kid Venom was based on a one shot that I sent for a manga contest Shonen Magazine and Marvel held in 2018. One of the rules for the contest was [to use a theme or a character from Marvel and write and draw a first episode for a new series], and the theme that I chose was symbiote. “The next thing that I thought was who would be the best host for a symbiote. There were already many Venoms and there were enough variations, so I thought it had be something totally new to be recognized. In Japan, there are several famous folklores such as ‘Momotaro’ and ‘Urashimataro.’ Among them, there is a story of ‘Kintaro.’ The legend is about a boy who was strong, living with his mother in Mount Ashigara. He later was hired by Minamoto Yorimitsu, a very high ranked samurai and defeats many yokai. Later he becomes one of the four samurais of Minamoto Yorimitsu. This story is a mix of folklore and a historical story from the Heian Era of Japan. So when I mixed Symbiote to the legend of Kintaro, ‘Kid Venom’ was born.” Like other major Marvel launches, KID VENOM #1 will have a special FOIL VARIANT COVER. Check out the piece below by artist Gerardo Sandoval’s and see KID VENOM unleash his full symbiote strength this April! If fans missed the start of this new symbiote saga, all four KID VENOM chapters from Death of the Venomverse will be collected in KID VENOM: ORIGINS #1, on sale January 3! KID VENOM #1 (OF 4) Written by TAIGAMI Art and Cover by TAIGAMI Foil Variant Cover by GERARDO SANDOVAL On Sale 4/17
