BRIEFLY
X-MEN WRITER:Marvel has announced that Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim is writing a 4-issue story arc kicking off in X-Men #18.
Here's how the story is described:
"High above the Earth in the floating space station known as The Peak, extraterrestrial threats are monitored by S.W.O.R.D. -- the planet's alien counterterrorism and intelligence agency. From the cold reaches of space, a familiar face returns. The ferocious Shi'Ar warrior Deathbird has landed on their doorstep, gravely wounded and inches from death. Unable to identify the who or what that caused her life threatening injuries, the X-Men are called in to investigate!"
Guggenheim said: "The idea really came from the fact I'd been jonesing for an X-Men in space story as a reader. I'd been re-reading the Brood Saga and it reminded me how much I love that concept of the X-Men in outer space. It's a milieu that suits them really well."
MARVEL ON ABC:Marvel has announced that Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been renewed by ABC for a second season and Marvel's Agent Carter has been picked up to series to debut on ABC.
