Another week, another set of craziness!

This past week, we watched with the world as Egypt revolted against their president. Luckily, despite an internet ban, we could follow reports on twitter. GeekGirlDiva wrote a great and touching piece about her perspective of the events we have been witnessing.

Marvel asked us, "Who are the Mystery Men?" No, Ben Stiller isn't back with his infinite rage, it is a new comic series. No details have been released but Newsarama has a pretty good theory. In other Marvel news, their Point One initative started this week with The Invincible Iron Man. You can check out our review here.

DC Comics announced collaboration with The Heroes Initiative on a series of 100 original and unique Justice League of America #50 covers. These will be auctioned off with proceeds supporting The Heroes Initiative's great work. Three covers have been released and you check them out here.

There has been ticket sale mania this week, with San Diego Comic Con tickets selling out yesterday, but still plagued with troubles. New York Comic Con announced that they are adding a 4th day and their tickets are going on sale tomorrow. Which cons are on your schedule this year?

To end this week's recap, here is the commercial that has taken the geek world by storm this week.




Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Marvel's Point One: where should I start?

So as I was reading Fantastic Four #587, I saw this ad:

I was excited about Marvel: Point One when they announced in November, but since then, I kinda forgot about it. It just seemed so far off! I am hopeful that I can break into this world without too much confusion. No more waiting, it starts today with Invincible Iron Man.

Now, I need to decide what to read. I wish I could read them all, but my budget doesn't allow for that. So far, I'm definitely going to read Amazing Spider-man, Invincible Iron Man, Deadpool and Avengers. I'm torn on getting Captain America and Uncanny X-Men.

For all of my fellow Marvel newbies, I promise to post reviews about how effective Point One is. Is there any other recommendations for us from more experienced Marvel readers?
