If there’s a Marvel movie coming soon to a theater near you shortly, you can wage the mobile game is either jumping the gun or not far behind. In this case, it’s the former. Guardians of the Galaxy: The Universal Weapon is a real-time battle game where you can play as the Guardians roster that…
Marvel recently held their creators retreat where all of the writers and artists pitch new ideas and dream up the stories that will fill the pages of our favorite books for the forseeable future. And perhaps tease video games as well… Spider-Man and Silver Surfer scribe Dan Slott posted a tweet that seems to hint…
NOTE: MILD SPOILERS FOR RICK REMENDER’S RUN ON CAPTAIN AMERICA Yesterday the world was introduced to the new Thor, whose gender will have to get a rewrite on the Mjolnir incantation “if HE be worthy.” Not twenty-four hours from that announcement, it looks like we’ll be hearing soon about who will take up the mantle…
The Guardians of the Galaxy have existed in some incarnation or another since the 1960’s, but in the world of video games, the characters are in their relative infancy. The first time any character from the Guardians would be playable in any video game would be in the 2011 re-issue of Marvel Vs. Capom 3:…

When it was initially announced, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions from series first developer Beenox seemed like a game hinged on a flimsy gimmick for the purpose of injecting life into Activision’s fledgling but once renowned series of Spider-Man games.
