So far, Peter Parker returned to life in The Superior Spider-Man No. 31, only to face struggles to adjust to the world as it was changed by his successor Otto Octavius. Now, get ready for one heck of a fun summer comic book season, Spider-Man readers as Marvel has quite a number of Spidey adventures to look out for.
First, June 11 will mark the release of The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 No. 1.2, which will center around the beginning of Clash, the original Spider-Man's first super foe. Then on June 25, The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 No. 3 will be released to continue from where ASM Vol. 3 No. 2 left out, but get ready as the Black Cat is about to assault the original Spider-Man, unaware that the Spidey she last met up with was Otto in Peter's body.
July 9 will see the volume 2 launch of Spider-Man 2099. Yes, Miguel O'Hara has his own series again, except we will be seeing his life in the present time. On the same day, Marvel will release 100th Anniversary Special: Spider-Man, which will feature a possible future where Peter Parker, in the year 2061 A.D., deals with Kingpin and the Venom symbiotic. The same day will also see the release of The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 No. 1.3, which will center around the original Spider-Man's first battle with his first supervillain enemy.
Later on August 6, The Superior Spider-Man will return with issue 32, featuring an untold tale of Otto Octavius as part of Marvel's countdown to "Spider-Verse", the upcoming storyarc featuring various versions of Spider-Man from across multiple universes within the Marvel Universe canon. This upcoming arc will begin in The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 No. 9 (coming in November).
Last but not least, August 27 will see the release of The Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 No. 1.4, to continue the story in ASM Vol. 3 No. 1.3.
Mark your calendars, and happy reading!

Today, DCComics.com announces that Warner Bros. will release the 18th installment of the "DC Universe Animated Original Movies" series on July 30, 2013, following the release of the Superman Vs. Braniac-themed installment Superman: Unbound on May 7. The made-for-DVD film itself, titled "Justcie League: The Flashpoint Paradox", will be an adaptation of the controversial 2011 Flashpoint comic book miniseries, which preluded the DC New 52 overhaul of the entire DC Universe Canon. In case some of you reading this news post are new to the DC Universe experience, the miniseries itself centered around Barry Allen/The Flash trying to restore his home universe back to normal after an attempt to fix a wrong for his family in the past resulted in an alternate timeline where the 1) Justice League was never established, 2) the Atlanteans and the Amazons were at war agaisnt each other, and 3) Dr. Thomas Wayne (not Bruce Wayne) was Batman and running Wayne Casinos.
If you are the knid of DC Comcis fan hungry for a Justcie League movie, even though the live-action JL movie is not due for another two years, I say mark your calendars for this animated film's release. Checking out this film should help your wait.

Today on The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum, I decided to post a forum topic post where you are invited to share your memories of the Superman category of the DC Universe franchise from over the years, although the 75th anniversary of Superman's official debut is not until 4/18/2013. Yes, DC Comics' premier super-hero has been around for such a long time and still remaining a fresh pop culture icon for western society, even still being one the most popular superheroes from all fiction.
Anyway, here are some questions you may want to consider: What are your favorite Superman adventures/battles? How you first got to know Superman? Any favorite characters from the Superan comics? What are your thougths/feelings about the DC New 52's revamp/reboot of Superman so far? Would you say Superman has gotten better or worse in comics over the years? Any favorite moments in filmed Superman media (examples: the 1996 animated Superman T.V. series and Smallvile)? Any merchandise collected so far (ex: statues)?
