Man. It’s going to be expensive to be a Secret Wars completist come March. (It’s fascinating to me the way in which Marvel is seemingly riding the Secret Wars brand into the ground in 2015.)

Toyo Harada is the most dangerous human being on the planet. Imbued with incredible powers of the mind, he has spent his life guiding humanity from the shadows. But today he is a wanted man. His powers are public knowledge, his allies have turned to enemies, and he is hunted by every government on the planet. Instead of surrendering, Harada has one last unthinkable gambit to play: to achieve more, faster, and with less, he will build a coalition of the powerful, the unscrupulous and the insane. No longer content to demand a better future, he will recruit a violent legion from the darkest corners of the Earth to fight for it. The battle for utopia begins now.

“This is a real chance for us to play around with some super-villain tropes the same way we played with super-hero tropes in Harbinger,” said writer Joshua Dysart. “This time the tropes we’re playing with are an ‘evil alien,’ a ‘robot soldier,’ a ‘mad scientist,’ a ‘political extremist’ (the most terrifying of all monsters), and, of course, a ‘global dictator’ bent on taking over the world. So all of that breeds new fun characters to throw into the Valiant Universe.”

From the PR for Imperium, the follow-up to Valiant’s Harbinger, which launches next year. Looking forward to it.

The entire list of DCU titles that will make it to their 41st issue after the New 52 reboot of September 2011. If you’re including titles that still have one member of their core creative team in place after all that time, it’s literally just Justice League and Batman.

SHAZAM
Writer: Jeff Parker
Artist: Evan “Doc” Shaner
Colorist: Jordie Bellaire
It’s Shazam versus Steampunk, as the world of Gotham By Gaslight takes on the Captain Marvel family and friends.

From here.

No matter what anyone else says, DC’s Convergence is now officially worth it for this 2-issue mini alone.

There’s no point in us asking for and then celebrating the release of female ongoings if we’re going to sit silently as sales fall and we don’t buy them. I mean, if we can’t make Storm succeed, then why should Marvel announce more?

I’m torn about this (It’s from the CBR message boards), because I get the point the poster is trying to make, but at the same time, I find myself wanting to dismiss the argument and thinking that the answer to “Why should Marvel announce more?” is as simple as “Why shouldn’t they?” Even just the question implies that white male leads are a default setting, which shows a limited/limiting idea of the potential audience out there.

i’ve basically just hit the threshold where i’m legitimately contemplating adding carol danvers to tumblr saviour because i’m just so disgusted with how desperate her fanbase is getting in attempting to bury Monica Rambeau’s existence.

It’s not like Marvel…

After re-reading the Roger Stern Avengers run lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about Monica Rambeau and her invisibility in regards to the Captain Marvel legacy, so this was an interesting read to me.
