This is my favorite random request for me to post an image from Thor: The Dark World. (Although, Mother’s Day isn’t until May…except it’s in March in the UK, I’m told…nevermind!) Kudos!

…and, no, I ain’t postin’ anything yet!

I had to enlist the help of Ben Morse, my This Week in Marvel co-host who’s Editor of Marvel.com and one of the most knowledgeable comic dudes I know. His only note was to read Avengers Prime directly after Siege. Go forth and get your Thor on!

Update: Notes from others include: “There’s also JiM/New Mutants: Exiled, which goes between v3 and v4 of JiM.” and “He also needs to throw Fear Itself and Fear Itself: Journey Into Mystery in there, after @mattfraction’s Mighty Thor vol. 1.”

That’s hellaciously tough to answer! Let’s size ‘em up:

Iron Man 3 - I’ve read the script and I’ve seen what’s coming. So hyped.

The Wolverine - I went to the set twice and was SUPER impressed by the cast and crew. So much potential there.

Thor: The Dark World - One of my favorite Marvel movie scripts I’ve ever read. Absolutely terrific. Did a set visit and saw lots of rad things (which I can’t talk about yet).

Guardians of the Galaxy - Concepts look great and the team behind it is solid, but I don’t know much more yet.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier - You don’t even know. You. Don’t. Even. Know. ‘Nuff said. Zippin’ my lips right now.

sequel to The Avengers - You know it’s going to be crazy good. So ready.

Ant-Man - I believe in Edgar Wright.

sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man - I know very little about it, but I have hopes!

X-Men: Days of Future Past - Very excited! I loved First Class and the rest, so there’s all kinds of cool stuff they can do with this.

So, to answer your question, all of them.

I wrote a 3-page holiday Skrull story for our 2008 Marvel Digital Holiday Special. It was drawn by the incredibly amazing Juan Doe. I called it “Last Christmas” because I love that WHAM! song so much. Seriously.

As for other comics, I don’t think so. That was a fun endeavor, but I really quite enjoy the stuff I do and I don’t have that itch to write comics or fiction of some sort. At least not at this point.

Iron Man is in it. shhhhhh!

Triple berry.

Great question, and one that I’ve been asked before. The answer: No. We do not accept unsolicited ideas or submissions. I’m just going to copy the official language from Marvel.com:

“Marvel does not accept or consider any ideas, creative suggestions, artwork, designs, game proposals, scripts, manuscripts, or similar material unless we have specifically requested it from you. Marvel is continuously developing and creating its own ideas and materials, and we don’t have the resources to review or respond to unsolicited material. Unfortunately, any unsolicited material you send will not be read or shared. It will be destroyed, and it will not be returned.

While we can’t accept your unsolicited submissions, please know that Marvel is always looking for new comic book artists and writers. We constantly read and review indie, self-published, creator-owned, and web-comics, review popular online art communities, ask other artists for opinions and recommendations, and host portfolio reviews at conventions from time to time. If you are an aspiring comic book artist or writer, we suggest you publish or publicly post your material, continue to create, and if you have the right stuff…we’ll find you.”

1. We have a kitchen area that consists of a few small tables, two microwaves and two fridges.

2. We don’t have anyone working for a kitchen area.

3. 0% chance.

BUT! We love food. To all chefs who are Marvel fans, hit up me and @CBCebulski / Eataku. We do some cool stuff with chefs and restaurants when we can!

My two go-to taco spots in NYC:

Tehuitzingo, a Mexican deli on 10th Ave. 

La Lucha, a Mexican wrestling-themed taqueria. Yeah. Believe the hype.

The pilot for Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. show is currently being filmed. If it’s picked up, it will be for ABC. Fingers crossed!

I covered how I got my job at Marvel in my FAQ!

You’ll hear any number of us at Marvel say (as borrowed from…Mark Waid, maybe?), “Breaking into comics is like breaking out of jail. Once someone does it one way, that specific way is forever closed to others.” Which means, no two people have the same way of getting a job at Marvel or comics.

Jobs and required skill-sets are so varied, there’s no simple way to say “this is what you need to know and do.” I started out doing content primarily about comics for Marvel.com as Associate Editor and my role has grown and changed tremendously in six years and now touches on every line of business for Marvel as a whole.

Good luck!

Hey J! Great question and, honestly, it’s not easy. 1. SO many people want to work at Marvel Studios in some capacity or another. 2. It’s still a relatively small crew and thus, open positions aren’t plentiful. 3. As you noted, internships are the best way in. Be sure to follow @TWDCjobs on Twitter as they tweet openings as well has link directly to all Marvel jobs across all lines of business. All I can say is keep your eyes peeled, apply for any jobs that you think may fit your experience and hope for the best. In the meantime, get out there and work. Get other gigs and experience under your belt and build that resume. Make it so Marve would be foolish NOT to hire you if you ever apply. Good luck!

So you’re Mister Sinister?

:D As for making a career change into comics, there’s no specific gig for a geneticist. But comic book editors come from all different backgrounds. We’ve had people with theater, journalism, drama, English and way more varied degrees and backgrounds come to work at Marvel. I can’t say for sure one way or another if you could make the move, to be honest. If you have a PhD, I imagine you have a good grasp on the English language. Maybe? Probably? Do you know storytelling? Lots of factors. Apply and see what happens!

I am American of Colombian, Irish and German descent. Not Greek, though the name does seem rather Greek. (Sorry, Chris Eliopoulos.) There’s a Penagos in Cantabria, Spain. How about that?! And tacos are just wonderful. Who doesn’t like a delicious taco? 

What’s with the questions?

Here’s what came up when I Googled “greek tacos”:

I dig The Shield! Mostly because I really like Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Roman Reigns is cool and I’m looking forward to seeing more from him, but Rollins and Ambrose are just terrific.

As for WWE, I’m diggin’ it. Lots of good tag teams, a bunch of great workers across their various shows such as del Rio, a bunch of the NXT dudes, Cesaro and more. Definitely looking forward to the Rumble and then Mania. You?
