NEWS: Mick Anglo 1916-2011
Comics legend Mick Anglo passed away last month, aged 96.
Anglo is perhaps best remembered for the creation of Marvelman, the character he created when UK-based publisher L. Miller and Son was informed that the Captain Marvel stories they'd been reprinting from Fawcett Comics had been cancelled (due to the Fawcett vs National Comics lawsuit.) During his six-year run on the title, he was responsible for over seven-hundred issues of Marvelman, Young Marvelman and Marvelman Family.
A selection of Anglo's works was published last year by Marvel Comics.

REVIEW: Marvel Universe's Modular Armor Iron Man
This is the sleekest, most lightweight armor ever designed by Tony Stark. Built to meet the parameters of any possible challenge, it is covered in ports that can house any of hundreds of mission-specific modules. In the space of moments, this armor can swap out a suite of research scanners for a weapons package that would put most battleships to shame.
Another day, another Marvel Universe review (I promise I'll review some other toys soon!) Today I'm looking at another entry in the new Series 3 range. Is it a Spider-Man 2099 or a Spider-Woman? Read on and find out!

REVIEW: Marvel Universe's Spider-Woman
SPIDER-WOMAN struggles with self-definition. Her birth and the genesis of her powers are a mystery, and the earliest years of her life are a haze. She has been an agent of Hydra, a soldier for S.H.I.E.L.D. and an alien hunter for S.W.O.R.D. She battles constantly to take full control over her life, and do away with the sinister mysteries of her past.
Hasbro's latest wave sees a lot of new faces to augment the existing line-up of big hitters and today I'm looking at one of the former in the shape of Spider-Woman.

REVIEW: Marvel Universe's Doc Samson
DOC SAMSON has always believed that the HULK is only a symptom of a deeper problem within Bruce Banner's mind. For years, he worked to cure Banner of his affliction through a combination of psychoanalysis and gamma science. Exposed to gamma radiation he gained phenomenal strength and durability. Though he remains primarily a psychiatrist, he also uses his strength to assist his friends among Earth's heroes.
Following on from yesterday's Captain Marvel review comes Figure 002 from Hasbro's new Series 3 Marvel Universe toys, a figure that continues what appears to be a celebration of 70s superheroics. Read on, true believer!

REVIEW: Marvel Universe's Captain Marvel
Born light years away in the Kree Empire, Mar-Vell rose to great renown as a soldier of the Kree. Sent to infiltrate and observe Earth, he fell in love with the chaotic young world and its people. He was eventually befriended by Earth's heroes, and eventually became renowned as one of Earth's greatest champions, despite his alien origins.
So how is the first figure of the new Series from Marvel Universe?

NEWS: Upcoming Marvel Universe Figures
There's a rather nice video on Marvel's website in which former TNA star (and self-confessed Marvel geek) Christopher Daniels takes a look at some of the upcoming figures in the Marvel Universe 3.75'' line.
What's interesting is that if you look closely you'll see three figures that have yet to be officially announced - Captain Marvel, Spider-woman (Jessica Drew version) and ''Doc'' Sampson can all be seen in the line-up.

It's nice to see Marvel expanding the line beyond Fire-Attack Emergency Iron Man and Ultra-Aquatic Spider-man and introducing some more obscure characters into the mix.
As of yet, there's no release date or even confirmation of these figures but let's hope they'll be arriving soon!
EDIT: Although no date has been given, these figures are now listed on Wikipedia as being part of the ''Spring 2011'' wave along with World War Hulk (which can also be seen here, extreme left), Spider-man 2099 and Iron Man Bleeding Edge figures.
