• This last week Marvel Comics has been promoting their new event called The Heroic Age. It was hinted last year with a teaser showing Thor, Captain America and Iron Man in shadow. the last few years in the Marvel Universe have been very dark. There was Avengers Disassemble, Civil War, Secret Invasion and the Dark Reign. But in May Marvel will bring in the Heroic Age, There’s going to be a new spirit of hope, courage, and the selflessness at the heart of heroism will rise up. Marvel’s most elite characters will be at the center of The Heroic Age, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers and more.

    I’m personally excited about the new direction Marvel plans on taking. I grew up reading Marvel Comics and think this new story line will be awesome and full of great adventures. I’ve decided to use my blogging skills and create a fan blog site dedicated to The Heroic Age. I’ll be putting any and all new info up on the site including news, promo art and future Solicitations.

    So if you want the latest info about Marvel Comics The Heroic Age check out my Fan site: www.TheHeroicAge.com

My name's Ralph Contreras, I'm a graphic designer and proud comic book nerd living in Santa Fe, NM with aspirations of becoming a professional comic book artist.

On one random weekend during the summer of 1984 my aunt gave me a stack of comic books. She was doing some spring cleaning and luckily for me she thought I would like them. A new world of of great stories with amazing art took my imagination. From that day on comic books have been a part of my life in one way or another.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts, I owned/ran a comic book store for 5 years. I am currently in the process of creating my own independent comic company and penciling an ongoing comic book. I'm always interest in making new friends and contacts.
