It's a writer's world in Marvel Age #128, with former Marvel editor turned full-time writer Larry Hama taking on both the cult-favorite Mort the Dead Teenager and the monthly Wolverine series, while the late, great Peter David goes Epic with the miniseries Sachs & Violens.
Marvel Age also continues to spotlight licensing deals – and this issue, it's all about Marvel apparel, including shirts, hats, and neckties. But that's not all, because fans could also get the Marvel Kids' Pizza Pack at participating Pizza Hut locations.
Also this issue, readers learned the details on the Fantastic Four movie from Roger Corman's "low-budget movie factory," as the article calls it. The article really emphasizes that despite the breakneck filming schedule and minuscule budget, there's a lot to love about this movie.
