Marvel & the Kirby Kids
Marvel Worldwide Inc. has filed suit against the heirs of Jack Kirby, asking a judge to invalidate the copyright termination notices sent to Marvel and other companies. The copyright termination notices were the first salvo in a battle by Kirby’s heirs to gain control of Kirby’s works and characters. The suit just filed by Marvel argued that Kirby’s work for Marvel was “for hire,” which would make the heirs’ claims invalid.

Ivan Reitman, who directed the first two Ghostbusters films, has revealed that he will also direct the third in an interview with MTV. And confirming what Harold Ramis revealed a few weeks back, the film is slated for a 2011 release.
DC Under Siege
Marvel has announced that it will swap one free Siege #3 Deadpool Variant for 50 stripped covers - which adds up to roughly $200 - worth of DC Comics involved in the Lantern Promotional Rings promotion. If retailers respond, the barter value will give Marvel great fodder with which to promote Siege, at DC’s expense.

Marvel has revealed a new Iron Man armor, designed by writer Matt Fraction and Ryan Meinerding - who is the designer on the Iron Man and Thor films. The new armor will premiere in Invincible Iron Man #25, shipping in April.
