Booked #43 - Unfriended on Your Birthday

Ben Morse, editor at Marvel.com and, best of all, friend of Booked, returns to gives us a rundown of the happenings at New York Comic Con and we try to pry a bit at some of the interesting events that were announced. The key word there is try.

After having missed San Diego Comic Con, Ben tells us about getting used to the Con feeling and energy again, especially with Marvel hitting big the day before in Times Square with Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. Not only did legends like Kurt Busiek show up but we got the monster announcement of Secret Wars hitting Summer next year.

Did we get Ben to give us some teasers? No, no, we did not. Ben likes having his job at Marvel a little too much and we can appreciate. We also discuss some of the other events in 2015 like Civil War, Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies and Planet Hulk where we get a team up with Captain America as they fight Hulks with Tom Selleck mustaches?

We also have some current Marvel talk as Ben informs us of how awesome Secret Avengers writer Ales Kot is, teases what's to come in Avengers and X-Men Axis and we think maybe Magneto has pushed the line too far now, even at the cost of mutant life. Lots to chat and speculate about in this episode, so get reading those panels!
