– According to Bleeding Cool, it is now 100% certain that “Fantastic Four” will be canceled before the release of the upcoming film reboot. Given the synopsis taken from Hachette’s catalogue, it’s easy to see that there is in fact a “final issue” coming, but like Tom Brevoort’s sassy response on Formspring suggests, this is hardly the first time the book has ended. We’ll see what follows it before believing Marvel’s First Family goes away entirely.

– Apparently the upcoming “X-Men: Apocalypse” film will heavily focus on Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique, which is unsurprising considering the fact she’s clearly important to the series and because they happened to guess right on casting someone who would become the Queen of the A-List in just a few short years.

– Graeme McMillan shares his 20 must-see panels from this upcoming weekend’s New York Comic Con.

– We love the Mignolaverse here, and CBR has exclusive reveals of two new covers of collections from Mike Mignola and Laurence Campbell, covering “B.P.R.D. 1946-1947-1948” and “B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth: Flesh and Stone” respectively.

– The vinyl cover Mondo created for Guardians of the Galaxy’s Awesome Mix Volume 1 is pretty awesome.
