Need help identifying a comic in a current TV commercial

The last two mornings at work, I've caught the tail end of a commercial during The Today Show. It screams, 'free exclusive comic book' and I look up to see a comic book, possibly featuring X-men, fading from view and the commercial ends with no identification hints.

Help me DVDtalk!

Could it be a tie-in to Days of Future Past? Or an actual commercial for FCBD?

Also, on July 23rd, some stores are doing Batman Day with a free exclusive Detective Comics #27. May be too early for that one.

Almost positive it had nothing to do with FCBD. My ears only perk up when I hear words like "comic book", and it wasn't mentioned until the very end of the commercial.

I just googled a combo of words to verify your great Future Past suggestion and got this thread! I'll keep looking.....

It's the comic book that you get when you attend Marvel Live.

Now that Disney owns Marvel, they're producing those cheesy "On Ice" shows featuring Marvel superheroes. Oy vey.

How long until we see Ewoks On Ice?

Well, they're not on ice, but they do look cheesy.

It's probably Kevin Hart. He's everywhere!
