Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Exodus Preview

Unless you have been living under a rock in the comic world these past few months, you have been privy to one of the best cross-overs that I have read in a long time; Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: UTOPIA.

The story pits a power hungry Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers against Scott Summers and his X-Men who are still trying to adapt to living on the west coast.

In this final issue of the crossover, we find out if the X-Men can combat the threat of The Sentry, Ares the God of War and the rest of the Dark Avengers. Will the Children of the Atom overcome these odds, or will this be the final stand of Xavier's Students? Find out September 9th, 2009.

Iron Man: RIP?

Marvel Comics has revealed the wrap around cover for Invincible Iron Man #20, which is the start of the rather eagerly anticipated Stark: DISASSEMBLED storyline.

The cover is designed to mirror a shot from Civil War: The Confession by Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev, the cover depicts a fallen (perhaps dead?) Tony Stark with Thor grieving by Stark's side.

Invincible Iron Man #20 is written by Matt Fraction with art by Salvador Larroca. In addition to the Patrick Zircher wraparound cover, there will also be a cover by Salvador Larroca and a 70th Anniversary Variant Cover by Marko Djurdjevic. Invincible Iron Man #20 is scheduled to arrive in comic book stores in November of 2009.

Take a good look at the cover and stay tuned to Vinyl & VILLAINS for updates. Is Tony Stark going to take out Norman Osborn before he goes? Is Marvel just playing games with our emotions?
