It’s time for another franchise-crossing Marvel Comics summer event. This year’s event is titled Infinity, a word Marvel is pretty big on these days in their marketing. The six-issue miniseries is being crafted by Marvel staples Jonathan Hickman, Jim Cheung, Jerome Opena, and Dustin Weaver.

We have a few pages from Infinity #1 for your perusal. Check ’em out here below and let us know what you think in the comments!

The second book in Marvel’s premium original graphic novel series brings together Eisner Award-winning writers Mark Waid (Daredevil, Kingdom Come), James Robinson, and (Starman) artist Gabriele Dell’otto (Secret War) to tell an all-new Spider-Man story that spins out of the Marvel NOW! series Superior Spider-Man. Spider-Man: Family Business is set to hit shelves in 2014 fully painted and published in an over-sized hardcover book with “sophisticated packaging.”

In the story, the Kingpin is building an international crime syndicate so Spidey is forced out of New York City to battle the crime lord on a global scale. At the same time, someone has Spider-Man in his sights and the only person who can save him is a mysterious sister. So now it truly is the Spider family!

The U.S. Army is still after the geeks! Eleven years ago, the Army released a videogame titled America’s Army that was free to play and is still available. The game allowed players to partake in military style training and missions. Now, the U.S. Army has partnered with comic book publisher IDW Publishing to release a companion comic book series simply titled America’s Army Comics to all major digital platforms including the IDW app, Comics by Comixology for iOS, Android, Kindle Fire, Nook, Windows 8 and the Web; Apple iBooks; Amazon Kindle; Barnes & Noble Nook; and Kobo.

The comics are meant to be companion pieces specifically to America’s Army 3 and the upcoming new videogame release America’s Army Proving Grounds scheduled for late 2013.

So ABC’s surprisingly successful television series Once Upon a Time will be getting a spin-off series this Fall and now we have a preview of an upcoming graphic novel co-created by Marvel Entertainment and Disney-ABC.

We have some images from the upcoming hardcover graphic novel titled Once Upon a Time: Shadow of the Queen, which you can view here below.

Aftershock
Directed by Nicolas Lopez
Starring Eli Roth, Andrea Osvart, Ariel Levy, Natasha Yarovenko, Nicolas Martinez, Lorenza Izzo, Selena Gomez
Rated R
Release date: May 10, 2013 (Limited & VOD)

Eli Roth originally came on the Hollywood scene as a writer and director of retro style horror films. He crafted the films Cabin Fever and the surprisingly disturbing Hostel. Since those movies though he has produced others and has been acting quite a bit. In Aftershock, Roth is mostly just a figurehead behind the scenes on this one, as his main focus is being one of the lead actors. The film does feature a “presented by Eli Roth” topper, but that just again means figurehead. He is, however, listed as one of the writers along with three others. The writing credit makes me wonder if his influence is mostly in the odd humor that was added to the story. If so, he actually could be responsible for some of the main flaws in Aftershock.
