* The publisher has released a teaser image, "We Are the X-Men," for July.
* Marvel has teased Wednesday's Amazing Spider-Man #623, noting that Peter has to not only survive key arch nemesis Vulture's reign of terror, but also losing his job at the mayor's office. Peter lays it all on the line to protect J. Jonah Jameson and keep the city from ripping itself apart, but Peter's sacrifice winds up costing his career as a photographer.
"Peter Parker's been through some rough times lately, with all of his deadliest foes returning, and he couldn't lose his job at a worse time," said editor Steve Wacker. "He's going to struggle with unemployment and trying to save the city while he can barely afford to keep a roof over his head."
