When it comes to Dan Slott and Mike Allred’s plans for SILVER SURFER #13, chaos rules the day and can best be summed up with the story title: “The Death of Everything That Ever Was or Will Be!”

The Silver Surfer typically explores the outer regions of the Marvel cosmos, but not in this Last Days tie-in to Secret Wars, according to Slott:

“It'll all be gone. Kaput. Blammo! KABOOOOOM! Secret Wars is going to wipe out the entirety of the Marvel Cosmos. And it's going to do that while the Surfer is, y'know, in it!

“And that's where the bizarro, head-trippy, fun of what Mike Allred and I are doing during Secret Wars starts! The beginning of our story is: and then everything that ever was or will be...blew up! What a great launching point!”

Slott admits that one of his “favorite sci-fi stories of all time is Douglas Adams' ‘Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.’ And that opens on the destruction of Earth. It’s crazy and counter-intuitive for that to be your kick off, but a literal blast too. Because the next question is: Where do you go from there?

“If you’ve been following the news and interviews about Secret Wars, you’d know that all the Marvel titles during this event fall into three categories,” notes Slott. “Battleworld and Warzones! feature stories that take place on Battleworld. And Last Days features stories about Marvel characters dealing with the end of the world. NONE of those apply to what we’re doing in SILVER SURFER. To play nice, we’re calling it Last Days...but it’s not. It’s really like an all-new fourth category...one that's almost indescribable and a little insane. It’s a story after the Silver Surfer’s last days.”

The writer wants readers to imagine if the start of your week was non-existence. “That’s pretty rough, right? But the good thing is...it can only pick up from there.”

While Slott dislikes being cryptic, he also concedes “I hate giving out spoilers even more. So all I can say is if you care about the fate and potential future of the cosmic corners of the Marvel Universe, the Secret Wars issues of SILVER SURFER are comics you might want to check out.”

As much as Slott and Allred relish putting the Surfer through his paces, Slott appreciates the storytelling opportunities gained through a character like Dawn Greenwood.

“She’s wonderfully different—and relates to the strange, new, and alien in ways that the Surfer never could,” he notes. “It’s not just that she’s human and brings a humanity to situations that Norrin lacks, it’s that she’s just so Dawn-ish.

“The whole reason she and the Silver Surfer met was because an all-powerful piece of cosmic machinery scanned Norrin Radd and plucked, out of all of time and space, the one being who—for him—is/was/will-be ‘The Most Important Person In The Universe.’ It's not because she has a high midichlorian count—or can snuff out suns—it’s because for all that we’d like to think that the universe can be dark, cold, and endless, sometimes the universe can be kind.”

Will Sliney has waited his whole life to draw Spider-Man; no, really, check it out.

Now the artist of SPIDER-MAN 2099, Sliney gets to depict wallcrawlers of various eras on a regular basis. Recently, he took to Twitter in hopes of showing others how to follow a similar dream by sharing his Spidey-drawing process…

Because he’s a swell and talented fellow, Will kindly opted to go the extra mile and provide us with a step-by-step breakdown of how he brings Spider-Man to visual life. Follow along and swing your way to visual web slinging wizardry!

Take it away, Will…

“First off, this is how I handle drawing Spider-Man; each artist tends to have their own flair, especially with how they draw the eyes, but there are a few fundamentals, especially with the webbing that stay the same, are tricky and hugely important.

“We start with the basic Spider-Man head shape. Ignore drawing any ears. His mask joins the tip of his nose to the base of his lower lip, naturally, as a mask should.”

“The web starts at the center point of the face, right between the two eyes. In fact, if we were above Spidey, and looked directly at us, this pattern would run down his entire body.

“For his head, start by splitting the top of his head in half, this line runs all the ways around the center of his head down to his back.

“Draw two weblines at the bottom, equidistant from the center.”

“Now we start circling around that web center point. A good frame of reference is to have these two bottom web lines just about touch his eyes.”

“Note how the weblines are interacting with the side of the face as the come together to join what is essentially a formation of weblines around his neck which all are a similar distance apart from one and other.”

“Now it’s clear how the arms of the web are all spiraling out from the center.”

“The bridge lines, i.e. those lines which connect the arms and provide strength [to] the web (in real Spider terms) will radiate out from the center, forming circles.”

“Each arc loops away from the center as the form a circle.”

“Here's a pro tip. To make the web fit Spider-Man’s head better as it goes back over this forehead, we add in an extra web line here.

“Also, watch out with those webs, Peter Parker likes to keep them nice and regular. Random webbing lines is more Doc Ock’s kind of thing.”

“Another extra web line, this time joining up with a previous web, near where his ear would be, helps fill the webs over his head.”

“Follow all the way down to his neck, to make that nice perfect web circle.”

In 1964, Marvel premiered one of its enduring and exciting super heroes, Daredevil. Whether in his secret identity as blind lawyer Matt Murdock or using his enhanced radar senses, DD stood out from the crowd as an unrelenting crusader for justice.

To celebrate 75 years of Marvel, 50 years of the Man Without Fear and the upcoming debut of “Marvel’s Daredevil” on Netflix in 2015, we look back on the hero of Hell’s Kitchen’s remarkable history!

Matt Murdock in prison? It happened in 2006, a year full of more trials, more tribulations, and more terror than the Man Without Fear had ever faced before.

The cosmic entity known as Captain Universe dropped in on DD in CAPTAIN UNIVERSE #2 to temporarily endow Matt with both incredible powers and his sight, a condition that didn’t last long, but did help the Captain on its own personal quest.

The Kingpin waved around the “Murdock Files” in DAREDEVIL #79, but revealed them as an elaborate hoax to flush our hero out in the open for the cops to draw a bead on him. Wounded from a gunshot, Matt accepted aid from Elektra and the Hand in DAREDEVIL #80, but could not stand by while his friends took their lumps protecting him. So, he turned himself into the authorities and received a one-way ticket to jail.

Awaiting trial on Ryker’s Island in DAREDEVIL #81, Murdock took some solace in the Kingpin’s simultaneous return to jail, though being surrounded by all his worst enemies meant constantly staying on his toes. While someone posing as Daredevil patrolled the city in DAREDEVIL #82, Matt heard the horrible news of his friend Foggy Nelson’s death during an attempt to visit him in prison. Upon his return to Ryker’s after Foggy’s funeral in DAREDEVIL #83, the warden decided to give our hero no special treatment and moved him into the general population, a move sure to get Matt killed as well.

To make matter’s worse, both Bullseye and the Punisher entered Ryker’s in DAREDEVIL #84, while Matt sought out former crime boss Hammerhead for information on who ordered Foggy’s murder. When the inmate who killed Foggy turned up dead, Matt knew he’d be framed for it in DAREDEVIL #85, but the both the Punisher and the Kingpin could offer no real solution to the problem. So, when a prison riot broke out in DAREDEVIL #86, Matt found himself fighting alongside Bullseye and the Kingpin, as well as asking the Punisher to help him break out to find Foggy’s real killer.

On the loose, Matt reclaimed his costumed identity from the poser, who in DAREDEVIL #87 stood revealed as his fellow costumed hero Iron Fist. With Danny Rand’s help, Matt left the country to pick up the trail of Foggy’s killer, never suspecting that his friend still lived, albeit under the Witness Protection Program. The program proved arduous for Foggy, as seen in DAREDEVIL #88, but it beat the alternative.

While the so-called Civil War raged across America’s super hero population, Matt made his way to Monte Carlo in DAREDEVIL #89, where he cozied up to the daughter of his prime suspect, attorney Alton Lennox. Lennox turned up dead in Lisbon in DAREDEVIL #90, but our hero found his time occupied by a few rounds with Tombstone and a trail of breadcrumbs leading him to Paris.

As the Last Days descend on THE PUNISHER this June courtesy of Secret Wars, the change in season will not be the only thing turning up the heat on Frank Castle as he must leave the United States to fulfill a vow. Not even the literal end of the world will stop him.

“Frank is someone who tends to ignore the problems of the wide world to focus on the problems in his backyard wherever that backyard happens to be,” writer Nathan Edmondson acknowledges. “In this case his backyard is going to be a warzone in the Middle East. He has a promise to keep and because of that we’re going to see him go back to war.”

Edmondson and artist Mitch Gerads, of course, do not expect Frank to have no reaction to the Last Days —just that his reaction might be a bit more…indifferent than most.

“I should say he absolutely has emotional stakes in what’s going on at the very end,” Edmondson explains. “But Frank’s not one to get all that overly worked up about the end of the world. To him, the world can end at any hour. He puts the skull on his chest every morning expecting to die.

“To hear that the rest of the world might be going away too is something he kind of shrugs at.  He just might want to make sure a few people suffer before that happens.”

While Frank might be shrugging at the end of his world, Edmondson and Gerads feel just a bit sad to bid PUNISHER adieu.

“You know, it’s tough,” admits the writer. “I feel like Mitch and I have really offered something different in PUNISHER. The reaction from readership let us know that; our approach resonated with both new and old fans. That’s the most gratifying facet of this experience by far.”

However, the duo has no intentions of letting Frank slip quietly into that good night. If he, and the book, go, they will go loud.

“I know that what we are going to see of Punisher in these issues are things we are being allowed to do as creators that most do not get the opportunity to do in a book with a character as important as the Punisher,” Edmondson teases. “We are very grateful to have that good fortune.”

Warm weather will bring no relief for the Marvel Universe’s premiere super spy as the Last Days descend on BLACK WIDOW.

Starting this summer even Natasha cannot find a way to dodge the worlds-ending madness of Secret Wars. However, as one would expect, neither she nor the creative team behind her book—writer Nathan Edmondson and artist Phil Noto—has any intention of letting that bedlam derails her goals.

“For the most part we are just kind of ignoring what is happening with the world at large,” Edmondson admits. “That hasn’t been our concern for the most part issue to issue and that’s not really our concern now. We have been and are continuing to use this book to tell stories of her world, up close.

“So what we’re doing with Black Widow is not having her rally against the incoming apocalypse or try to solve all the world’s problems in one day. Instead what we’re doing is taking the opportunity to reflect back to some of her time around the Red Room in a way that will get to the very heart of what has been the theme of the book: Atonement.”

Edmondson and Noto plan to give Natasha sendoff worthy of her complex and powerful history.

“In the next four issues coming out we’re really going to see some things that we wouldn’t otherwise be allowed to do,” pledges Edmondson. “These are things we are so excited about sharing with the readers.

“We are going to see glimpses of Natasha like you have never seen her before; maybe even not as you’ve ever imagined her before. For devotees of the character it’s going to be a really special time. I think people who have been reading us since day one or have been following Natasha for years before that are going to feel very rewarded.”

Orphaned in the frozen mountains outside K’un-Lun and trained to become a living weapon, Danny Rand brings his unparalleled kung fu grip and iron fists to “Marvel Puzzle Quest”!

D3Publisher Producer Joe Fletcher dropped by to talk the Immortal Iron Fist and give us the lowdown on Danny’s awesome abilities.

Marvel.com: Why did you guys feel now was the right time to bring Danny Rand to the “Marvel Puzzle Quest” universe?

Joe Fletcher: Luke Cage threatened to strike if we didn’t get his fellow Hero For Hire into the fray. A quick call from Fury and an unsubstantiated rumor of a transfer of funds later and Danny was packing his bags for a trip above the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier.

Really though, with Luke Cage doing his thing in the game and certain shows premiering soon, it’s the perfect time to get Shou-Lao’s living embodiment into the game.

Marvel.com: And with the Iron Fist comes K’un-Lun and Shou-Lao and Terror Priests and Davos? Please?

Joe Fletcher: For the moment, Danny’s going to be getting his feet wet bashing some Maggia and Hand skulls, helping out his Heroes For Hire/Defenders teammates. With Gorgon moving around with the Hand and messing with some of his fellow Immortal Weapons, Danny doesn’t have time to go running off through any inter-dimensional nexuses just now. Besides, if rumors on the street are true, the leader of the Hand isn’t all the Heroes for Hire are going to be facing...

Marvel.com: Utilizing the chi of Shou-Lao the Undying, Danny’s fists become things like unto iron, perfect for dealing with bad guys. Will he be roundhouse kicking everything in sight? Can you expand a little on his abilities?

Joe Fletcher: Iron Fist is pretty well an all-out attacker. He’s perfectly capable of taking out his enemies in a straight-up brawl or using a bit of his ample smarts to outwit his opponents and take them down when needed. So his abilities in-game mirror this, with little emphasis on anything approaching defense and lots of emphasis on booting people in the head.

His first move is the aptly named Shou-Lao Fang Strike. This Green attack ability clocks in at 8 Green AP and does two things at once. The first is that like any strike, it deals damage to the enemy. Not a huge amount, but enough to let the enemy sure know he’s been hit. Danny then follows this up by placing some Strike tiles onto the board, making his future attacks pack even more punch. Also, if his team has enough Black AP, he channels some more of Shou-Lao’s power, placing double the number of Strike tiles onto the board instead. With a low AP cost and a two for one damage/tile placement, Danny breaks out relatively quick combos on his foes.

Secondly, he has the Iron Fist of K’un-Lun. With this Purple attack, Danny does two different things depending on if his team has enough Black AP stored up. If the team has 12 or more Black AP, Iron Fist lets loose with a shattering punch, dealing heavy damage to a single target. If Rand can’t quite channel Shou-Lao’s power though, he instead meditates for a moment to bring more to the surface. This has the effect of converting tiles on the board to Black, likely making Black matches and a powerful strike of the fist like unto iron almost inevitable. 

The last ability for Danny is a passive, showing off his Exquisite Technique. Danny’s kung fu is simply the best, and he shows it in every move he makes towards the opponent. The effect that this has in-game is to show off his ability to relentlessly attack the opponent by placing an Attack tile each turn if no friendly Attack tiles exist. This allows a measure of damage to reach the opponent every turn regardless of any tiles matched or abilities used.

Marvel.com: Are there any specific synergies you guys planned for with Danny? Maybe say with Luke Cage? Where does he fit into a team?

Joe Fletcher: That’s pretty much it exactly. We designed Danny to be a striker to Cage’s brawler. Cage creates Protect tiles to reduce incoming damage and has quick combo strikes with his Jab Jab Cross. Iron Fist brings Attack tiles for constant direct damage and powerful strikes while Luke watches his back.

At the same time, Danny can also generate Black AP directly for Cage’s Jab Jab Cross if he doesn’t want to keep it for his own abilities. They make a great pair to go with just about any third character that can handle where they’re deficient in Red and Blue color abilities. That being said, either Luke Cage or Danny Rand are powerhouses on their own, Danny especially because he is able to fit the damage dealer outlet on teams that need one.

Marvel.com: When do we get to take Iron Fist out for a spin?

Joe Fletcher: We’re actually trying out something new for this go-around of character releases that should excite those looking to add Iron Fist to their squad. Normally, the character is only available as a prize for an upcoming Story Event, and this is no exception. Iron Fist is available as a prize for the now running Prodigal Sun Episode. But in a first, we’re going to place Danny into the Comic Packs available during the Event as well. This will allow players that earn tokens or buy packs to get a possible head start on the Immortal Weapon as well as win him from the Event itself.

While Thor may currently be MIA in the world of “Marvel: Avengers Alliance,” his family has new blood joining the game, with Angela making her debut as the reward hero for PvP Season 19.

We talked to the game’s Producer, Justin Woods, about the road Asgard’s Assassin took in joining the Alliance and much more!

Marvel.com: Is Angela the character newest to the Marvel Universe you guys have added to the game? I guess Thane and her would be neck and neck…

Justin Woods: I think Thane probably was a little newer than her, because she’s been running around in the comics since Age of Ultron, which was last spring. So we’re getting her out almost a year later, but with Thane we got him in the game before he debuted in the comics!

So yeah, Thane may be a little bit newer, but Angela—we’re super excited about her. She has a really rich fan base and a really rich history. It’s really exciting that she’s been tied into the Thor universe really strongly with the Original Sin storyline.

Marvel.com: How long has this been in the works? Because like you said, she only came to Marvel last spring and there was a pretty big amount of secrecy when we brought her in.

Justin Woods: We actually found out about it a couple days before the announcement. Marvel gave us a tip that this was gonna happen, and we were pretty excited about it. We wanted to work her into the list but we wanted to make sure it was at a time that it really made sense. That’s always the story with these guys; people are like, “why did it take you so long to get Nova into the game?” Well, I mean, there’s a story that we want to tell with these characters, and we can’t go into too much detail about why that is, but certain characters fit in certain slots because of a very specific timing that we want to do. So we worked her in where we could, and that’s PvP 19!

Marvel.com: How much of Angela’s Asgardian heritage were you guys able to incorporate into her, particularly as she moves out of PvP and starts getting involved in the stories?

Justin Woods: When you see her getting involved in the stories after PvP, a little bit later down the road, you are gonna see the Asgardian heritage bit of it be worked into our story, so that is a part of her that is appealing and interesting to us.

Marvel.com: Did you guys lean more towards the hand-to-hand with Angela or does she have some arsenal up her proverbial sleeves?

Justin Woods: She does some pretty interesting things. She does psionically control those ribbons that float around her, and she can use them as weapons. So that is incorporated into her move set as well as a couple of sharp pointy things that she carries around in her arsenal. She’s got a very diverse move set. Some of the most frames we’ve seen on a character since maybe X-23. She’s got a lot of complexity and depth to her move animations.

Join “Marvel: Avengers Alliance” and play PvP Season 19 today!
