As you surely know, Miles Morales just stepped into the boots of Spider-Man in the Ulimate series. Since Ultimate Spider-Man #1 just hit shelves, it seems like a perfect time for Marvel to tease upcoming products.
Diamond Select Toys released the above artwork for an upcoming Minimate of Miles Morales. The 2″ Minimate will be available next summer.

Marvel has unveiled a new image of The Avengers—a working cover for a collection of movie tie-in comics known as Road To The Avengers. From the official synopsis:
Gear up for the upcoming Avengers movie with these official in-movie continuity stories starring Avengers mainstays Iron Man, Captain America and the Agents S.H.I.E.L.D.! First, it’s an expanded re-imagining of the original Iron Man, featuring bonus scenes not in the movie! Then, it’s an all-new Iron Man adventure! What happened between the events of Iron Man and Iron Man 2? How did Tony Stark put a new chapter in the history books? And how did Iron Man break and rewrite all the rules? Then, it’s Black Widow, Nick Fury and Agent Coulson in espionage action! Think you know S.H.I.E.L.D.? Check out what you DIDN’T see in the movies! And finally, it’s the official comics prequel to the blockbuster Captain America! Steve Rogers is the inspiration for millions during the dark days of World War Two — but where did he get his inspiration from? How did he meet his best friend, “Bucky” Barnes? And what set him on the path to becoming the First Avenger? Experience an all-new Cap adventure on the European battlefields.

Well, these Marvel superheroes will erase the mistakes that are put to paper that is—which I’ll admit isn’t much these days. I suppose “all of humanity’s mistakes” was a bit of an exaggeration then. More like, “all of the mistakes you make when completing a standardized test”.
Yet another wave of Marvel Minimates will be hitting store shelves in August, and the breakdown looks a little something like this…
- Wave 41 Two-Packs: First Appearance Iron Man/Mega-Rage Hulk and Unmasked Spider-Man/gliding Green Goblin (to recreate Amazing Spider-Man #39 cover)
- Exclusive Two-Packs (specialty stores and comic shops): Mr. Sinister and Nimrod with a variant pack that includes Age of Apocalypse Sinister
- Toys R Us Wave 11 Exclusive: Nightcrawler (with bamfing base) with Betsy Braddock and X-Force’s Fantomex with Mr. Negative
Check out an additional image after the break.
Hasbro has unleashed its 16-inch electronic X-Men Sentinel figure complete with lights and phrases like “Fugitive mutant detected!” and “Destroy!” It even comes with a 3.75-inch Wolverine figure as an added bonus.
Pre-order for a July 2011 release.

The only thing Isaiah Mustafa wants more than the fresh, clean scent of Old Spice is the role of Luke Cage. He’s met with Marvel about the role, and has said in the past that he “would do anything” to get the part.
Apparently, that included making a pitch video that can be viewed after the break (along with an amusing Marvel-produced Luke Cage / Old Spice parody involving Mustafa that turned up while searching for this video).
Director Joss Whedon tipped everyone off that shooting on The Avengers began yesterday, and Marvel is tossing in some photographic evidence to prove it. Chairs for the four main characters sit inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
Marvel still hasn’t revealed plot details, but they did release the following snippet:
When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster.
Loki and the Skrulls perhaps? We will know for sure by the time The Avengers hits theaters on May 4th 2012.

It appears that Marvel is taking this whole death of Spider-Man story arc in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man and Ultimate Comics Avengers vs Ultimates seriously—they’ve just revealed Peter Parker’s replacement.
“We called this story ‘Death of Spider-Man’ for a reason,” said Axel Alonso, Marvel Editor In Chief. “This is a huge story that’ll have fans around the world talking for a long time as we set the stage for the debut of our new Spider-Man.”
As you can see, the costume has changed a bit (a cooler look in our opinion), and there will be a new person wearing it come June after the culmination of the storyline in Ultimate Spider-Man #160.
