Hey Folks!
Let’s start with this absolutely hilarious variant Marvel just sent us to put up on the site. There’ll be a story up on WU.com soon, but I got such a giggle out of this that I had to come post it here first!
Yep, those are rainbows and puppies taking the place of the gallons of blood being spilled on the original cover of X-Force #1…Well done Marvel! Any company that can dish out some laughs poking a little fun at themselves is pretty cool. It ended up in a hearty chuckling session for me, so I’m grateful!
Also, make sure you go check out our exclusive preview of Captain Britain and MI: 13! Not only am I super-psyched for this book, but I’ve been a huge fan of everything Paul Cornell’s done at Marvel so far and more from him can only be a good thing. Actually, Marvel PR Honcho Jim McCann read me raving about Cornell’s Young Avengers Presents story this week in Thursday Morning Quarterback (scroll all the way down) so he sent us the preview…which I was extremely excited to find out about, because I’m all for getting more excited about something and these interiors have done it. If you read Cornell’s Marvel Max Wisdom series—which is nuts and you seriously should go back and pick it up if you haven’t—then you know he is a crazy, smart British writer, who writes crazy stories about crazy British heroes…and it’s bloody awesome! Take my word for it, you’ll be sorry if you don’t get this book.
Ok…I think that fills me quota of publicly nerding out for the day…
