Well it's literally that one panel, just so you're aware before you do!

And boy, was that a fun issue! Loved it.
Meet the Marvel Superheroes came out today. It's a kid version of an Official Handbook, and published by Marvel Press. It has a surprsing number of X-men, Mutants and Fantastic Four given the movie rights thing... and a big emphasis on the Marvel Studio heroes (GotG, Thor, Cap, Avengers, etc.). It also has an unusual number of female characters. Aurora and Northstar each have 1pg entries, with new art. I'll scan later. I don't know who the artist is because it's so vaguely credited but given some time I'll figure it out. Aurora also appears on the cover, but not the dustjacket. Here is an image of the dustjacket cover:
Is it not a straight reprint of the last version then?
Not a straight reprint. It's all new art. Every image on every page is new art. Also there are different characters (Marrina lost her 1pg entry)
Nicely spotted then!
I saw '2nd Edition' and didn't think I'd need to bother with it.
Cartoon Alpha Flight popped up in the Deadpool #250 issue that came out today. They are attending the Deadpool Roast, which is just like Hembeck's Fantastic Four Roast. Almost exactly like it. $9.99 for a cartoon cameo and have fun with the variants.
Oh, and this tweet made it into the book, too: https://twitter.com/AlphaFlight_net/...71441273667584

Ugh... I saw the variants and winced...
And Wahey at the tweet! I hoped they'd pick that!
I've just had a read of it.
If it were anyone but Deadpool and a Roast situation I'd be angry but it's pretty funny in it's context & as a non-continuity story.
Also, you're a better man than I for finding my tweet; my eyes went funny after the first few - so badly laid out!!!

Yeah, it's an Alpha Flight bash-joke, but didn't bother me. Did you catch the Puck/Alpha Flight reference earlier in the piece when
I was just kind of casually scanning the massive text of the tweets, thinking to myself, "ok later I'll actually read this. I bet there's some funny stuff here..." when my eye jumped to "@Alphaflight_net". My brain's visual system just popped into action and moved my eyeballs right to the tweet.
There's a one panel cameo of Shaman in this weeks S.H.I.E.L.D. #5!

He's dead!
Along with other mystics Satanna, Hellstrom & Jennifer Kale. And Wiccan almost dies until Scarlet Witch saves him.
It's the first of a two part story so I fully expect it to be undone in #6. Whether we see him or not remains to be seen!
There are 3 covers to the issue - a regular, an Avengers One Minute Later and a Howard the Duck WTD cover.

Yeah I saw it. I really hope it gets reversed
They're not going to do that without a reset button. Even if it's the Secret Wars convergence coming up.
Just fully read the book and Shaman is still alive..
I'll have you know he's only mostly dead! And mostly dead is slightly alive.
If he was all dead, there's only one thing you can do - go through his pockets and look for loose change.
