Get Lost in Marvel Comics

Find out where you can check out key visual references to ABC's hit show in current Marvel comics

Marvel Comics and the hit ABC television series have joined forces in a new, breakthrough promotional campaign featuring a number of "Lost" easter eggs sprinkled throughout a wide variety of Marvel's January titles including UNCANNY X-MEN #494, INCREDIBLE HERCULES #113, THUNDERBOLTS #118 and WOLVERINE: ORIGINS #21, on sale now.

It won't always be easy to spot them, though, so it's time for Marvel and "Lost" fans to break out their best scavenger tools and go a'hunting. You may have recognized an Oceanic Airlines logo or two in the background, but that's not all—believe us. Be sure to keep a keen eye out for so many more goodies.

"This is an incredibly innovative way for ABC to generate interest and excitement for the show's upcoming premiere," says Michael Pasciullo, Vice President Merchandising & Communications for Marvel Entertainment. "We were able to seamlessly integrate these elements from the "Lost" world into the books in a way that does not take away from the stories but adds some fun and intrigue for both our readers and fans of the show as well."

ABC's hit show and Marvel Entertainment previously crossed paths when Damon Lindelof, co-creator and executive-producer of "Lost," wrote stories for the House of Ideas. This latest collaboration leads up to the fourth season premiere of "Lost" on January 31, an event fans have been anxiously anticipating since last May's shocking third season finale.

I just found a panel on the second to the last page of "With Great Power" #1 that has "find 815.com" written on a piece of debris...  I think that is a reference to a LOST website. 

Interesting marketing ploy, but i'm not sure if it's going to work.   I never watched LOST, and I feel that it's too late in the game for me to try checking it out now.
