X-Men Marketing

xmen2

Axe has teamed up with the release of X-Men:Days of Future Past for a marketing promo.  It’s not quite as cool as some of the marketing promos in Japan, but they are trying.  Inside the X-Men themed package you get an exclusive poster from the movie.  The set will put you back about $10.00.

Days of Future Past First Trailer

To me it’s fun to be a comic book fan at this point in time.  Just think about how many movies have been based on comic books in the past decade, the ones that are coming out now, and then the ones coming out in the near future.  One of them is of course X-Men: Days of Future Past and thanks to “X-Men Movies” channel for posting the first trailer on YouTube.  Check it out below:

New Style of HeroClix

WizKids has introduced a new dynamic to their HeroClix brand.  Starting with the Batman: Gotham City Strategy Game will have interchangeable dials.  Two sets will come with the game and the players get to choose which dial they want to play the game with.  Then in Spring of 2013, Teen Titans HeroClix will be released with the SwitchClix dials and then in the Summer of 2013 the Wolverine and the X-Men will be released with the same game features.  This will probably be the standard from this point on, if I was guessing.  Thanks to ICv2 for the information.

Marvel NOW!

Similar to DC’s New 52, Marvel will be revamping their universe.  The event comes out of the Avengers vs. X-Men event.  Titles will receive number 1 issues again and costumes will be redesigned.  This will take place in the later part of the year during October – December and possibly into the first part of 2013.  Librarians be prepared to recognize old heroes in slightly or completely different attire.
