Too Much Cool Stuff – Not Enough $$$ – March ‘10
by KC Carlson
This month, the Big Two launch their newest big initiatives to attempt to collect all our money, Marvel’s The Heroic Age and DC’s Brightest Day. Not that there’s anything wrong with that – it’s just that both companies also have several other things brewing this month, and you might miss them in all the hubbub, bub. But, like it or not, that’s what you have me for – I’m the guy who always says “Hey! What’s going on over there - behind that curtain!” More on that in a minute. Lemme get Brightest Heroic Age Day out of the way first.
For Your Consideration: Marvel’s Avengers: The Korvac Saga
by Robert Greenberger
It had been quite a while since there was a major Avengers arc that had people talking. It was probably the Steve Englehart-written Mantis Saga from the early 1970s so the World’s Mightiest Super-Heroes certainly were due for something big. The Korvac Saga, which ran in The Avengers #167 – 177 (Jan. – Nov 1978), fit the bill. As a result, the storyline has been collected from time to time and is receiving a brand new edition this fall, available for order this month.

We’ll return to our discussion of Big Comic Book Events, and specifically, Marvel Comics’ current Big Events, after this slight digression – which I promise will make sense later. Thank you.
Chris Eliopoulos interview
Chris Eliopoulos is probably best known for his Franklin Richards books from Marvel, but he’s also the creator of Desperate Times and his online strip, Misery Loves Sherman. Now, he’s writing Marvel’s Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers. Westfield’s Roger Ash spoke with Eliopoulos about this fun new book.
Jim McCann interview
A number of people may know Jim McCann as a voice on podcasts talking about Marvel comics. Others may know him from the many conventions he works at for Marvel. You may not realize that he is a fine writer as well, but that’s sure to change once you read New Avengers: The Reunion. Westfield’s Roger Ash recently spoke to McCann about this new mini-series.
Who Will Stand Together Once Again In New Avengers: The Reunion?
Marvel sent us this, and that is all. We guess the title is New Avengers The Reunion but we do not know anything else. We should know more later, but enjoy this picture!
