Marvel is obviously going to have a huge presence at this year’s Comic Con with their panels scheduled to talk about both the Thor and Captain America movies on Saturday in addition to their other big comic announcements. Marvel will also have the video game focus of the show with two gigantic releases of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions from Activision and the much anticipated sequel ten years in the making of Marvel vs. Capcom 3: The Fate of Two Worlds.
At the show, the public will be able to get a hands on preview with the latest build of the game featuring four newly released characters. Doctor Doom and the Super Skrull have been added to the Marvel roster while Capcom adds on the fan favorite Chun Li from the Street Fighter series and Trish from Devil May Cry.

UPDATE: We’ve got a brand new trailer to show off the new announced characters. Check it out after the jump!

In addition to the fantastic X-Force, one of my other personal favorite comics of late is Peter David’s excellent X-Factor. His take on some of the more peripheral X-Men characters is always interesting and he manages to put his own spin on them and take them in new and different direction. Plus, David is just a great writer, which help immensely.
Marvel hasn’t pushed the series as much as they maybe could have but now it appears they are going to give it some love as the series hits issue #45 today.
Here’s all the scoop directly from Marvel via an official press release:
