Yikes! Better put in a call to the legion of lawyers at the ol' Marvel legal department!

Hold onto your Infinity Gems, True Believers, El Generalissimo has another peerless pronouncement! That's right, the rumors are true, Charmin' Charlie Sheen will be playing Jammin' Jim Starlin's fave fearless fighter ADAM WARLOCK in our next boffo box-office bash! No foolin! And maybe, just maybe he'll bring along…

If ol' Stan "The Man" found himself plummeting in this perilous predicament, he'd be greatly gratified to have the jaunty jingle "Magneto and Titanium Man" by Peerless Paul McCartney on his trusty tape player! (Whew! Sorry gang, even your Fearless Leader thinks that assault of alliteration may have been a bit much!…

Hello, heroes! Here's a tiny tidbit of trivia exclusively for the teeming True Believers! Now, just a few days ago I shared the news with you that Shinin' SHANE BLACK was going to step into Jovial JON FAVREAU's shoes to direct the continuing adventures of Ol' Shell Head! But that's not the whole story,…

Time for a massively morose mea culpa, heroic ones! The last time I jawed with you about JUBILANT JULIE TAYMOR's boffo Broadway show featuring your friendly neighborhood SPIDER-MAN, ol' Stan made a bit of a boo-boo. See, I must've had my wires crossed or maybe the SCARLET WITCH put a hex on my nattering…

Don't believe it for a second, frenzied fandom! Smilin' Stan would never plagiarize his ever-lovin' self! I'd swear it on a stack of "How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way"! 'Nuff said!

Tell him there's a complete run of Snappy Steve Gerber's HOWARD THE DUCK in the attic! 'Nuff said!

Will do, ol' Dark Detective! And hey, if you ever get another teevee show, give me a jingle. Rumor has it that ol' Smilin' Stan still does a mean Bat-tusi!

Face front, True Believers! Your Fearless Leader wants to recommend a colossal cartoon show on the ol' idiot box that's (gasp!) put out by the Distinguished Competition! Now don't worry, frantic ones, Smilin' Stan hasn't defected to Brand Eccch! But this snappy show about the Caped Crusader is so…

Gadzooks, True Believers! An emissary from the Distinguished Competition has thrown the gauntlet down before ol' Stan! Say it ain't so, Caped Crusader! Surely you are some Skrull impostor, or your mind is in the throes of the demonic influence of the Dread Dormammu! Is there a doctor in the house? Preferably a DOCTOR…

It's true, gang! The monstrous M.O.D.O.K. makes his fighting-game debut this go-round! And let me tell you, Charlie, he is the belle of the ball! Wonder what's got the ol' Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing in such a state? (He probably just can't find a fitted New York Mets cap in his size!)

Hello, heroes! Uncle Stanley knows you've had one heck of a long wait for this bit of news, but even the speedy Quicksilver would tell you that patience is a virtue. But now Marveldom Assembled can finally stand down, because MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3 is here to stay! The senses-shattering sequel, eleven…

Rest in peace, fellow traveler. 'Nuff said.

Godspeed, fair Quemore! And if you're ever in the neighborhood, feel free to drop in on Smilin' Stan for a friendly chin-wag!

Greetings again, Marvel madmen! You know, it's funny. When Jim Shooter pulled me aside one day and said he wanted to publish a black-and-white comic that hailed from the exotic shores of Japan under Marvel's own Epic imprint I told him I thought it was a bad idea. "Jim", I said, "Jim, this thing is the size of the…

Attention all true believers!

And in the pantheon of dastardly Daredevil adversaries, You're right above Mister Hyde and Mister Fear! And that's not small potatoes!

Hello, heroes! You know, it's funny. When I was coming up with the idea for the Human Torch, Jolly Jack Kirby suggested that he should instead be "The Human Centipede", and actually be three superheroes sewn together! I said to him, are you crazy, Jack? The kids won't go for it. So we went with the Human Torch. But…

Big news, fellow travellers! Remember all the hubub about Jazzy Julie Taymor's prodigious production bringing your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man to the Brobdingnagian Broadway stage? Well, though they say it's hard to improve on perfection(I should know!) Jammin' Julie has snared Rockin' Roberto…
