May 2, 2015. That's this year's Free Comic Book Day. Mark it down. Because you want to be there.

You've got to hand it to Marvel's marketing team. Or maybe to Joe Quesada himself -- an absolutely master showman. Everything is about to change in the Marvel Universe, and we get the image you see to the right.

Because of COURSE they can't show us who the All-New All-Different Avengers are yet. And right now, I'm loving them for it. I want to know, but I don't want to know. I want to truly be excited and surprised, and they're delivering.

I'll get more clues in the other book being offered -- Secret Wars #0, with a simply beautiful cover you can see below. And the news that they're going to translate and reprint "Attack on Avengers," the Avengers/Attack On Titan crossover and just GIVE IT AWAY!? Brilliant.

Your move, every other publisher..
