While Jean Grey was no stranger to death thanks to the Phoenix Force having revived her before, she apparently met her final end in 2005’s X-Men Phoenix: Endsong. Pretty much persona non grata since then (that other Jean Grey is a younger version from the past stranded in our timelines and yeeesh comic book continuities), it looks like Marvel is getting ready to have their trademark Phoenix rise from the ashes again.

Mr Oz is his name, and global destabilisation is his game. For months now, Mr Oz has been targeting Superman, his family and his ideals. The hooded antagonist has been working behind the scenes, causing chaos in an attempt to prove to Superman that humanity isn’t worth protecting. It’s…it’s not hard to argue that fact really.

What if the apocalypse wasn’t result of technology running amok, but an army of monsters that were thought to be the sole domain of the fantasy genre?

Len Wein, editor on DC’s hugely-influential Watchmen comic book series and the co-creator of Wolverine, has died at the age of 69. One of the masterminds responsible for reviving the X-Men in 1975 alongside artist Dave Cockrum, Wein’s resurrection of the children of the atom resulted in the X-Men becoming a hugely successful franchise in Marvel after their original series was cancelled years prior due to dwindling sales numbers.

Venom has been through a few changes over the years but after a recent tour of duty with Flash Thompson, the symbiote is once again bonded to Eddie Brock. Just in time as well, because the Venomverse event has begun. If you’re a fan of the character, then this might be the series that you’ve been waiting for, as Venomverse is a “celebration” of the character according to writer Cullen Bunn.
