MARVEL ANNOUNCES THREE MORE SELLOUTS
Press ReleaseCivil War is over and Tony Stark and Marvel are finding that the Initiative is proving to be a huge success. New Avengers #28, Ms. Marvel #13 and Thunderbolts #112, three titles involving Marvel’s bold new direction, the Initiative, have sold out at Diamond.
In New Avengers #28, a team of underground heroes who refuse to subscribe to the Registration Act must not only take down planetary threats, but are forced to duck other heroes from the Initiative who are hunting them.
Dave Wallace of SilverBulletComicBooks.com says, “This is one book which has really benefited from the fallout of Civil War. The story of the New Avengers has gained a new sense of immediacy as a result of the group's status as outlaw heroes, pitting them not only against their more traditional comic book villains, but also against their own pro-registration brethren, giving the team an "outsider" vibe which makes them more attractive and more fun to root for. Bendis' writing is fun and energetic and…Leinil Yu again shows off his immense artistic talent here.”
Ms. Marvel, both the title and the character, have been greatly affected by the end of Civil War as Carol Danvers, on her quest to the be the best of the best, actually becomes leader of the Mighty Avengers.
Paul King of ComicBloc.com says, “This title is easily the best female superhero title on the market right now. It is intelligently written and beautifully rendered. This issue is accessible and appropriate for everyone.”
Thunderbolts twists the long-running theme of the T-bolts as a team of villains looking for redemption into a team comprised of the worst villains being forced to work for the government.
Adam Chapman of Comixtreme.com calls Thunderbolts #112 “extremely well written” and “the art by Deodato Jr. continues to impress.”
Watch as the new Initiative continues to shake the Marvel U to its very core and changes the status quo of your favorite heroes.
Marvel currently does not plan to go back to press on New Avengers #28, Ms. Marvel #13, or Thunderbolts #112. Note, there may be copies of these issues at the retailer level.

Sideshow Exclusive Edition Mary Jane Comiquette
The Sideshow Exclusive edition of the Mary Jane Comiquette includes a copy of the control art created by Adam Hughes. This artwork was used by the figure design and development team to create loveliest, sexiest Mary Jane statue possible.
Mary Jane is the love of Peter Parker's life. It all began with a blind date set up between Peter's Aunt May, and Mary Jane's Aunt Anna and, grew to become one of comic's most enduring love stories. Uninterested in dating any girl Aunt May might try to set him up with, Peter dodged several attempts to meet "that nice Watson girl next door." But when he finally came face to face with the gorgeous redhead, she not only took his breath away, but took the words right out of his mouth by uttering her now famous line, "Face it, Tiger... you just hit the jackpot." Eventually, she became not only his girlfriend, but also his wife. An actress and model herself, over the years Mary Jane has been there for Peter Parker to nurse his battle wounds, cheer his victories and protect his secrets.
Sideshow Collectibles, Marvel Comics and Adam Hughes are proud to present the latest addition from the Marvel Comiquette line. The Mary Jane Comiquette was designed by artist Adam Hughes, who's critically acclaimed realistic illustration meets "good-girl" pin-up style art has made him one of the comic book industry's most sought after artists and a perennial fan favorite. The consummate "girl next door," Mary Jane discovers that her superhero husband has slipped some of his laundry into the mix, but she's not looking too displeased about Peter's naughty little transgression. Each piece is cast in high quality polystone, then hand finished and hand painted to exacting standards. An absolute must for any true believer's collection.

The New Howard The Duck?
Tom Brevoort on his blog has shown art for a new, unannounced "Howard The Duck" project
PREVIEW: GHOST RIDER #10
The ongoing Ghost Rider series written by Daniel Way continues to prove that it is a certified hit in both sales and fan reaction. Every issue that has hit the stands has sold out at Diamond thus far and the first TPB collecting issues #1-5, Ghost Rider: Vicious Cycle TPB, has sold out at Diamond as well.
Ghost Rider has risen from the dead for a second time (the first being his resurgence in the early 90s) as the character continues to stay red hot (not counting the whole skull-on-fire thing). In February, the major motion picture Ghost Rider starring Nicholas Cage opened up #1 at the box office, breaking a record for the highest overall gross for a President's Day four-day holiday weekend. Its worldwide gross stands at just under $200 million.
Daniel Way continues to write the Ghost Rider that fans have been clamoring for, combining elements of both the supernatural and macabre mixed with super hero action. Artists Javier Saltares and Mark Texeira have turned in art every bit as good as when they put Ghost Rider back on the map in the early 90s. Plus, horror master Richard Corben provided art on issues #6 and #7, adding even more spine-tingling visuals for the hit series.
Executive Editor Axel Alonso says, “Daniel Way has breathed hellfire back into Ghost Rider. The ongoing is tearing along, sales are great, and we've got some of the craziest, most dedicated fans in the business. Look for the series to get even hotter as Daniel Way digs deeper into the Ghost Rider's roots and unearths some truly cosmos-shattering revelations. There'll be more than Hell to pay.”
Be sure to check out the next issue, Ghost Rider #10, as the Spirit of Vengeance must face a resurrected super-villain casualty of Civil War possessed by the devil himself! And be sure to pick up the next issue of Garth Ennis and Young Guns Reloaded artist Clayton Crain’s Ghost Rider: Trail of Tears #3 as the epic of the Ghost Rider of the American Civil War continues on.
And you will not want to miss the upcoming Ghost Rider #12-13 as Johnny Blaze throws Ghost Rider into the fray of the summer blockbuster event World War Hulk!
And for even more Spirit of Vengeance action, check out Mythos: Ghost Rider, Ghost Rider Team-Up TPB, and Ghost Rider: Road to Damnation TPB. Please note that all comics and TPBs may still be available at retailer comic shops.
