01.18.2018 - All-New, All-Ages Comic Book Series MARVEL SUPER HERO ADVENTURES Coming This Spring!

Eisner-Award winner Jim McCann and Dario Brizuela bring an all-new story to Marvel!
                                                                                                              
This spring, readers will find there’s no hero too big (or too small) to share an adventure with! As part of Marvel’s multi-platform content program focused on targeting Marvel’s youngest fans, Marvel is excited to announce MARVEL SUPER HERO ADVENTURES, an all-new, all-ages comic book series debuting this April!

Written by Jim McCann (New Avengers: The Reunion) with art by Dario Brizuela (Avengers: No More Bullying, Avengers Vs), the five-issue series features all the classic action and adventures of Marvel’s greatest heroes in kid-friendly versions. McCann’s work on the Marvel Press children’s series 5-Minute Spider-Man Stories as well as junior novelizations for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Thor: Ragnarok help make MARVEL SUPER HERO ADVENTURES the perfect new tale for readers of all ages to enjoy. Through stories that touch upon aspirational themes of friendship, helping others, and heroism, preschool kids and young readers will have a gateway into the Marvel Universe.

“Marvel Super Hero Adventures is a chance to introduce the great heroes of Marvel to a brand new generation in exciting stories with lessons, adventures, and action that readers of all ages have come to expect from the House of Ideas!” said McCann. “Each issue features Spider-Man teaming up with characters both classic, such as Black Panther and Doctor Strange, and popular new faces like Ms. Marvel. Together they battle villains like Doc Ock, Taskmaster, Venom and more. This is the book you can pick up and share with anyone from your kids to your friends!”

“I’m excited about the Super Hero Adventures project because I just love comics that are really for kids, for early readers,” added series editor Sarah Brunstad. “They’re a great way for kids to beef up their reading skills, and make for perfect ‘tuck-me-in’ reading moments for parents to share. Both Jim McCann and Dario Brizuela are experts in that category; they’re incredibly talented and really get the core of Marvel characters and how to introduce them to new audiences. We want to entertain and inspire with this series, and I can’t wait for the first issue to hit the stands.”

Catch the newest adventures, starting with Spider-Man swinging into Wakanda, in MARVEL SUPER HERO ADVENTURES, on sale this April!

Check out more Marvel Super Hero Adventures programming including early reader chapter books and picture books at book sellers everywhere. Watch the Marvel Super Hero Adventures animated shorts on MarvelHQ.

01.16.2018 - Update from Super7 on the Masters of Universe Classics and Club Grayskull Wave 1 Figures!

Masters of the Universe Classics
Wave 1 Shipping Update

Hi Masters of the Universe Fans and Customers -

We want to give you the latest update about the MOTU Classics Wave 1 and Club Grayskull pre-order figures. We are happy to report that production for these figures is finally completed and they are literally on a boat from our factory in China as you are reading this.  The ETA for them to arrive at our Stateside port is the 2nd week of February and we expect to begin shipping orders by February 20th. 
As you know this was a made-to-order release and we took extra time to get the figures done correctly and to our quality standards. In case you missed them, here are the previous updates that we shared during the production process.

First off, we shared the details about the ton of tooling and paint revisions that were required before the figures went into production. 
Tooling and Paint Update Images
In December, Super7 traveled to our factory in China to oversee the final production of the figures as they were being completed for shipping.
Factory Visit Update Images
Which brings us to right now and the figures are finally on their way to us. Please note that because of the shipping method, some European retail customers will receive their orders before they arrive at the Super7 warehouse in San Francisco. We have asked these customers to wait and release their figures until Super7 begins shipping to the rest of you. 

Anyway, we hope you will like the figures as much as we do! In closing here are images of the figures in their packaging.

MOTU Classics Assortment

Each figure and their accessories are packaged on a non-resealable blister cardback with an outer cardboard box. 

Club Grayskull Assortment

Each figure and their accessories are packaged in a resealable die cut window box with a slipcase and an outer cardboard box. 
Thank you again for your patience with these figures! Their journey is almost complete.

By the Power of Grayskull!

Cheers,
Team Super7

01.16.2018 - Marvel Welcomes Artist David Baldeon To DOMINO!

Joining Gail Simone for Marvel’s new series!
                                                                                                              
Marvel’s femme fatale returns to comic books this spring – and so does superstar comic writer Gail Simone! DOMINO will unleash her risqué, hard-core action on the Marvel Universe in an all-new story, and Marvel can now announce the full creative team that will help to bring the soldier of fortune to life.

Joining Simone in crafting Domino’s journey is rising star David Baldeon (Spirits of Vengeance, Nova), who will bring his unique style to the pages of Simone’s story.

“I am so very thrilled to be a part of Team Domino! I am a fan of Gail’s work, and I’ve been wanting to work with her for a long time now. The fact that it is with a character like Domino is the icing on the cake!” said Baldeon. “She’s strong, she’s tough, she´s fun and she´s thrilling, and hopefully the art will bring through all of that. We’ve given her a new, sleek look that plays on all of her strengths, her history, and who she is as a character. Plus, this book is a completely different animal from my previous work style-wise, and therefore a chance to go into new grounds. This is going to be an exciting ride!”

“Since Marvel first asked me to write Domino, I knew there was one element that attracted me SO MUCH to her, but for some reason, I couldn't quite name the exact word,” added Simone. “Was it stubbornness? Snarkiness?  Other characters have those traits, too, but with Domino, there was this THING that represents her, but the word escaped me, and it was vexing. Wonderful editor Chris Robinson had someone in mind for the book, bless him! We immediately started getting the sketches and designs from David Baldeon Gonzalez, and I knew instantly the concept I had been trying to name, because he drew it right into her eyes. It's MISCHIEF. Domino has a sense of mischief, of high-stakes play, even in the roughest times. She's lethal and she KNOWS it.”

With Simone’s excitement and Baldeon’s explosive design, DOMINO’s creative team is officially ready to blast off this April.

“That really sealed the deal for me,” continued Simone. “David was our guy and I could not be happier. He draws gorgeous people doing dirty deeds, and it's just exactly the roller-coaster ride I had hoped for. He's adding so much heart and fire. I just love him.”

With gunplay and glitz galore, DOMINO brings you action, adventure, and antics like you’ve never seen before. Join Gail Simone and David Baldeon this spring when DOMINO hits your local comic shop!

01.08.2018 - Who Is The Mysterious Fifth Exile? Valkyrie Revealed!

Fan-favorite version of Thor ally joins Saladin Ahmed’s Exiles series!
                                                                                                              
New York, NY—January 8, 2018—You’ve met Blink and most of the new team members who will accompany her on her journey to save the multiverse: Iron Lad, Wolvie, and Khan. But who is the mysterious fifth member of the EXILES?

Introducing…Valkyrie!

“Valkyrie's a character who's always appealed to me. Her iconic warrior-woman look -- spear! sword! flying horse! -- but also the juxtaposition of a kickass ancient fantasy hero operating in contemporary New York City. She's a classic Marvel heroine,” said series writer Saladin Ahmed. “But the EXILES version of Valkyrie is a bit different from what we've seen in comics thus far. Our Valkyrie is known as the Lone Defender of Asgard, and she's a tankard-draining, maiden-wooing, giant-slaying thunderbolt of a woman. Though she's not technically from the Marvel Cinematic Universe reality, she's basically the literalization of the larger-than-her-physical-frame swagger that Tessa Thompson displayed in THOR: RAGNAROK, turned up to 11.”

“Like everyone else who has seen Taika Waititi’s brilliant THOR: RAGNAROK movie, all of us on Team Exiles are big fans of Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie,” said series editor Wil Moss. “So when we realized that we had the perfect series -- where the roster is made up of alternate reality versions of Marvel heroes -- to introduce a comic book equivalent of that version of Valkyrie, we jumped at the chance! And how great is series artist Javier Rodriguez’s design? Such a nice combo of the classic Valkyrie look and the MCU’s, yeah?”  

Join Valkyrie along with Iron Lad, Wolvie, Khan and Blink when they team up to save the multiverse in the all-new EXILES series, coming to comic shops this April!
