10.23.2017 - SUPER 7 MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE Wave 1 of Club Grayskull and Collector's Choice Update

From Brian Flynn of Super 7:

Masters of the Universe Classics
Wave 1 Pre-Order Update

Hello Everyone!
This is Brian Flynn, the owner of Super7, and I wanted to give you an update on your pre-orders for the Masters of the Universe Collector's Choice and Club Grayskull - Wave 1 figures.
First off, we have been working on a ton of tooling revisions since our last update and are down to just two revisions left to be made (Lodar’s missing arm band and Tri-Klops head is still too high). All figures have revised and corrected hips (especially Teela and Hawke) as well as a multitude of small changes from foot holes, joint tightness, plastic durometer and much more.
The goal is to make the figures as perfect as possible, and I think we are almost there! These changes are well underway, and they should be back to us in a week or so. We have also done a lot of paint updates (Teela’s face was a common question), and have updated everything, and have it ready to go.

We've posted images of all the Wave 1 figures to show you the tooling and paint updates.

Long story short, we expect to be heading into production by the end of the month, and have figures shipping out to us before the end of November. I know this is a bit later than everyone had hoped, but we want to make sure these figures are perfect rather than rush them to you earlier.
Thank you for your support of Super7 and Master of the Universe!

10.23.2017 - THOR #700 Sets the Stage for The Asgardian’s Future

Writer Jason Aaron and Editor Wil Moss tease what’s to come for the hammer-wielding hero
                                                                                                              
THOR #700 raised the Mighty Asgardian to a new level of storytelling in an epic tale from writer Jason Aaron and a host of incredible artists such as Russell Dauterman, Walter Simonson, James Harren, Becky Cloonan, Das Pastoras, Chris Burnham, Andrew MacLean, Jill Thompson, Mike del Mundo, Olivier Coipel, Daniel Acuna, and Matthew Wilson. And in the spirit of Marvel Legacy, this is just the beginning of a story that will affect not just Thor, but the Marvel Universe at large.

The Death Of The Mighty Thor story has only just begun, but two THOR characters are already dead!” teases editor Wil Moss. “In THE MIGHTY THOR #700, the monstrous Mangog kills Thor’s goat Toothgnasher and Malekith’s dark army kills Karnilla, Queen of the Norns. Before she dies, though, Karnilla sees where the threads of fate are leading, and thanks to a gorgeous double-page spread by writer Jason Aaron, artist Russell Dauterman and color artist Matthew Wilson, readers get to see what’s coming too.”

“You see a lot teases for upcoming stories here,” says writer Jason Aaron. “Some of those stories will play out in the pages of THOR. Others will play out elsewhere, some across multiple titles. Between THOR #700 and MARVEL LEGACY #1, I'm really setting the stage for the biggest stories I'll be doing for Marvel in 2018. Probably the biggest stories I've ever done for Marvel, period. You see a lot of that set-up here, and I'm beyond excited for everybody to see where it's leading and what it means for Thor, not to mention the rest of the Marvel Universe.”

“We’re not going to explain the meaning behind all the various images on that double-page spread,” continues Moss, “but we want to hear our readers’ best guesses! Drop us a line atMHEROES@marvel.com, and mark your emails ‘Okay To Print’!”

The perfect jumping-on point for all fans, THOR #700 is in comic shops now. Don’t miss your chance to get in on the action! And look for THOR #701 – which Moss calls “an issue-length brawl to end all brawls” – coming to comic shops in November!

10.13.2017 - Frenemies Are Brought Together in SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL #23!

The Merc with the Mouth teams up with the web-crawler for Marvel Legacy!
                                                                                                              
New York, NY—October 13, 2017—The tables have turned. No longer an Avenger, Deadpool is living a life of crime. There’s only one super hero who can guide him to the right path and that’s…Spider-Man?! That’s the Marvel Legacy story that will begin in November, when Robbie Thompson (Doctor Strange and the Sorcerer’s Supreme) teams with artist Chris Bachalo for SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL #23.

The Merc with the Mouth and the webslinger may have their differences, but they’ve got one thing in common: they’re both at odds with each other. And despite Spider-Man’s best efforts, Deadpool is back to his old ways – he’s become an arms dealer in the absence of S.H.I.E.L.D. 

But Spider-Man determined to bring his frenemy back to the right side of the law. And when a familiar villain from Spider-Man’s past makes an appearance, the two super heroes have no choice but to team up to save the world!

SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL #23 arrives in comic shops this November!

10.12.2017 - MAYOR FISK! Kingpin Rules In DAREDEVIL #595!

Your first look at the new Legacy issue!
                                                                                                              
There’s a new mayor in town…Mayor Fisk, that is. After his rise to the top, Matt Murdock’s classic foe takes center stage as Marvel Legacy hits DAREDEVIL #595, written by Charles Soule with art by Stefano Landini.

Matt Murdock has always had the law on his side, but now that Manhattan is under new rule, the tables have been turned: and it’s the vigilante hero who is on the outside of the law, with the Mayor of Crime ruling over Manhattan. 

“"MAYOR FISK is really about just one thing: Kingpin becomes...the king,” says series writer Charles Soule. “On page 1 of the story, Wilson Fisk has already become the mayor, with all of the power and resources that come with the position. So, Daredevil has lost the one thing he thought he could always rely on, the place he was sworn to protect: New York City. From there, we see how, and if, he can fight to win it back.”

“The entire DEFENDERS Legacy storyline, KINGPINS OF NEW YORK, is about the power vacuum left in the underworld now that Fisk has become Mayor and gone legit, and how a number of players start a big gang war attempting to fill it,” added SVP and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort. 

But Mayor Fisk’s rule won’t just affect the street team – all Marvel characters will feel his power! For fans who have been looking for a closer connectivity within the Marvel Universe, DAREDEVIL #595 is a perfect jumping off point.

“The nice thing about the story is that Fisk isn't just mayor in Daredevil,” said Soule. “It happens in every book across the Marvel Universe. So, every street-level hero (and even the Avengers-types) will feel the pressure from Fisk's term in office. As you might imagine, he makes New York a very uncomfortable place for anyone who dares to call themselves a superhero. I've been building to MAYOR FISK since my first issue on the title, and it's designed to be a huge epic in the best Daredevil-Kingpin tradition.”

“The Mayor’s reach can even be felt beneath the city streets in VENOM, where he’s deputized Kraven the Hunter to exterminate Stegron’s subterranean community of dinosaur-people,” added editor Devin Lewis.

The Kingpin’s rule begins this November, when DAREDEVIL #595 hits comic shops!

10.12.2017 - A New Enemy Rises in MOON KNIGHT #188!

Your first look as Max Bemis and Jacen Burrows take on the Marvel superhero!
                                                                                                              
Everyone’s favorite superhero oddball is about to have a new beginning in Marvel Legacy, as Max Bemis and Jacen Burrows have teamed up for an explosive story in MOON KNIGHT #188.

“Max and I are really striving to put something together that is unique and interesting while drawing from Moon Knight's long history,” said series artist Jacen Burrows. “This next chapter in Moon Knight's life is going to permanently affect this character's path and we are working hard live up to the task.”

While Moon Knight may have vanquished his mental demons, it doesn’t mean that he’s not in for trouble with a mysterious new nemesis – a dangerous enemy who will change his life forever and keep him from the shadows.

“Moon Knight has been in a sort of creative renaissance since Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey relaunched the character in 2014, all the way through the amazing arc recently completed by Jeff Lemire, Greg Smallwood and company,” said Burrows. “We hope to continue this by making the next important chapter in Marc Spector's life thought provoking, intense, a little scary, and a little funny.”
