By LTZ Overheard in the crowd before NYCC's All-New X-Men panel: "This one's all about X-Men? Ugh." Attending the panel were Senior Editor Nick Lowe, Editors Jeanine Schaefer and Daniel Ketchum, Uncanny Avengers writer Rick Remender,...

And now we enter into the world of NYCC, with sprawling corridors filled with multi-limbed octopeople, powerpoint presentations, and announcements. Marvel have today announced that they are to continue their series of 'Season One'...

By Steve Morris As spotted by Jarrod on the CBR forums (hi Jarrod!), a Mike Perkins fight sequence from next week's Astonishing X-Men #55 clearly pays tribute to a previous fight sequence drawn years ago...

Marvel has given The Beat readers the first peak at the cover to Avengers Arena #2. The art is by Chris Bachalo.

One of the topics we've all had our eyes on here at Creator Watch 2012 is the Jim Starlin Situation. In brief, as you all know, Thanos was teased as a villain at the end of THE AVENGERS, and the announced Guardians of the Galaxy seems to be setting up some kind of cosmic menace for Marvel's movie universe. And it just so happens that Thanos -- and Gamora, who is a member of the GotG -- were both created by Starlin as part of his run on Warlock. In the case of Thanos, Starlin has posted evidence showing that he created the character prior to working at Marvel. And when asked about the character's appearance in the third highest grossing movie of all time, it turned out that he had been in the dark about it. As if that wasn't ominous enough, a Thanos miniseries to be written by Joe Keatinge was announced with great fanfare and then very hastily canceled, with no reason given, leaving room for all kinds of speculation that the character might be in some kind of ownership tussle.

Marvel has released a couple of variant covers for UNCANNY AVENGERS #1 and #2, and if you like the Scarlet Witch, well, you are very happy right now.

Stuart Immonen's artwork is one of the key selling points to, well, anything he is involved with, and All-New X-Men #1 is no exception. The premise of the book is that the original five members of the X-Men - Angel, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman and Beast - have come to the present for some reason (no, there's no sign of other founding X-Men Shortpack and Sage at this point in time). They are in the present, and they are... in the present. And Stuart Immonen is drawing it! So now you know the premise of the series in its entirety. The regardless point being, Marvel have released some of Immonen's pencils for the first issue of the series, written by Brian Michael Bendis. And unsurprisingly, they're spiffing, corking, and several other 1960s adjectives.

Tom Brevoort may have just confirmed that Journey Into Mystery won't be ending after Kieron Gillen leaves...

Marvel's best characters (minus Ursa Major) have been assembled into a team for a series of bizarre webisodes online, for poorly-defined reasons which seem to amount to WELL WHY NOT?

This morning's Marvel teaser suggests that the new Marvel NOW! relaunch will be tied in with the Point One program which saw various series get a ".1 issue" that was new-reader-friendly. The program did quite well, we're told. Details will be revealed at the Cup O' Joe panel, Friday, July 13th, 3:15 PM PST. This move solidifies the "jump-onable" nature of the Marvel NOW! program.

Marvel is going all cosmic in the movie world, and Thanos, a character created by Jim Starlin, is at the heart of it. The evidence is unavoidable. First it was the Thanos cameo at the end of the Avengers—supposedly thrown in because director Joss Whedon was a fan of the character and a cosmic storyline is integral to keeping him on board for Avengers 2.
