The FF were the first humans to encounter Skrull in the Marvel U. and those meetings have always gone bad for the green meanies of the galaxy. This title will follow what the FF is up to throughout the Invasion. The ending of issue #1 has a big reveal but you won’t be seeing it here.

Fantastic Four #556 previewApril 8th, 2008, 9:38 am by Shawn MunguiaMarvel Comics‘ Fantastic Four #556 sees the FF squaring off against a mechanical menace sans Reed Richards. While the company has been primarily portraying Reed as a lab rat with little to no real knowledge of the real world, this teaming of Mark Miller and Bryan Hitch as storytellers seems to be reviving the luster of Marvel’s premier superhero team.

She-Hulk #27March 25th, 2008, 7:22 am by Shawn MunguiaThis week we’ll be focusing on a trio of strong women characters. One that’s had a long and constantly changing role in the Marvel Universe (Ms. Marvel), one that’s had a long role but has changed very little (She-Hulk) and a fairly new character that I’m expecting big things from (Echo). She-Hulk continues her search for the guy that set her up for an explosion and deals with the aftermath of her actions.
New Avengers #39March 25th, 2008, 6:54 am by Shawn MunguiaThis week we’ll be focusing on a trio of strong women characters. One that’s had a long and constantly changing role in the Marvel Universe (Ms. Marvel), one that’s had a long role but has changed very little (She-Hulk) and a fairly new character that I’m expecting big things from (Echo). Echo is proving to be a very interesting character. The only real problem I have with her is that her deafness is often ignored when writing her making it inconsistent. Still, this is a character to watch and her team-up with Wolvie in this issue is pretty cool.
