They have totally changed the opening to the Walking Dead. Now, hit the break for lots more foolishness, including the latest on the “real” Batman movie, the status of the Deadpool flick, Green Arrow’s TV show, new Garth Ennis work, and the latest on The Walking Dead. It’s been a while since I did an update, so lots to tell. Let’s start with the world of film... MOVIES ABOUT COMICS DARK KNIGHT RISES. And it’s now certain: The movie [...]

Rumour has it that a sequel to last year's Captain America film is set to go into production later this year. And the comic book movie adaptation news doesn't end there either with the added news that Thor 2 is also set to shoot this year as well as a Nick Fury film starring Samuel L Jackson . The Nick Fury film sounds particularly interesting as it's rumoured that the film [...]

Although SF Sketchfest begins this week, there is still plenty of music in the city this weekend, too! It's time to get your ear plugs warmed up - mostly cause it's really cold out - and get moving!

As artist only, the writer/artist who created Frog Thor and Beta Ray Bill will be the new regular artist for the Brian Michael Bendis written Avengers book, beginning with issue #25. Of course, with Bendis promising to leave The Avengers this year, could it be Walt is prepping for a larger role? One can only hope, as Simonson’s imagination has led to some brilliant work in the past, such as: · The afore-mentioned creation of Beta Ray Bill and Frog Thor, and a long run on Thor that split Don Blake and Thor for the first time, brought [...]

The top 10 things Marvel oughtta consider for 2012.  Look back for my suggestions for DC and indies . 10.  Make Marvel Digital iPad compatible.  This is a no brainer. 9.  Collect the Micronauts.  Whatever the legal bullshit may be, do what it takes.  And donate a huge chunk of it to Bill Mantlo’s medical fund while you’re at it. 9.  More animated movies!   [...]

From Marvel Celebrating the best of the year....Hit the break.

...AvX, the best "new" event at Marvel! Let’s lead the news this week with Avengers versus X-Men ... Comic fans may be happy to learn that the coming Avengers vs. X-Men event—12 issues over 6 months—will have only one standalone tie-in series, and the only Marvel books that tie in will be those that deal with members of the X-Men or the Avengers.  On the one hand, this is great: Fear Itself tied into just about everything, which was very annoying, and Shadowland had at least a dozen miniseries/standalone [...]

If you're a fan of Marvel Comics , you've probably been hearing about the upcoming Avengers vs. X-Men series that is planned for 2012. This will be a 12-part series, released biweekly starting in April 2012, that has the two major groups in the Marvel Universe battling one another over the custody of Hope Summers, a potential new Phoenix that could be a danger to all of mankind. While the X-Men seek to protect her as a mutant, The Avengers, along with Spider-Man, want to determine what should be done with her to [...]

IGN published a top 100 comic book heroes that made me crazy, both in its predictability (Hey! Superman and Bats are #s 1 and 2!), overinclusiveness (every single Robin except Damian Wayne (who is the most interesting one by far), as well as Superboy and Supergirl?  Really?) and its attempts to be esoteric without providing sufficient justification (Groo makes the list, but they don't really say what makes him so essential; James Gordon makes the list, but Aunt May and Uncle Ben don't-nor does Jarvis; and Nova makes the list, but nobody really gives a shit [...]

Now that the heat is off the New 52, almost everything I have to report this week is about Marvel. But before the fun stuff, a little bit about an article that actually made me cr y. I don’t know how many of you remember Bill Mantlo. He was one of the most prolific writers during Marvel’s most creative period (1975-1985), and was the creator of Cloak and Dagger, Rocket Raccoon, The Human Fly, and ROM the Spaceknight. He brought The Micronauts to Jim Shooter and insisted that Marvel [...]

Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Studios have revealed these new banners for Marvel's The Avengers, written and directed by Joss Whedon. Continuing the epic big-screen adventures started in Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel's The Avengers is the superhero team up of a lifetime. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as SHIELD, finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring [...]

The lead story has to be the October 2011 sales figures, which still show success vis a vis DC’s new 52. It’s safe to say that the new 52, and the new 52 alone, is responsible for America spending 12% more on comic books than they did last October. Comic-book unit orders are also up—by over 32% from last year. That’s tremendous. They’re also up from the first month of the new 52, but I assume that’s because so many DC #1s sold out in September and were reprinted in October. What does 32% mean? It means a million more [...]

HULK SMASH AVENGERS.  Coming February 2012.  "Hulk Smash Avengers" will be a 5-issue weekly mini designed to shamelessly build up to the Avengers movie.  It will be “Hulk vs.” battles that take place from 1960 on—one for each decade-all with covers by the great Lee Weeks.  The talent roster for each of these self-contained issues is: ·         Hulk vs. the original Avengers (1960s) by Tom DeFalco, Ron Frenz, and the great Sal Buscema on inks-featuring Executioner and Enchantress. ·         Hulk vs. Iron Man, Wasp, Vision and Beast (1970s) by Jose Casey and Max Fiumara .

A recent interview with cinematographer Seamus McGarvey revealed that some of the Avengers movie that is currently filming was actually done with an iPhone: When I ask McGarvey for advice on equipment for aspiring cinematographers, he says that every piece of kit should be tailored to what you are trying to achieve.  “The beauty of photography or cinema is that you make every choice based on the content at hand. On The Avengers, I did a couple of shots on the iPhone and they are in the movie. In fact, they are in the trailer! I understand that [...]

At the break, you can read my thoughts about the best of the new 52 and what I think of Starfire’s boobs.  But the headline has to be the new Avengers trailer, and related news... First off, the trailer is awesome.  Why is it awesome?  Cap uses a gun!  Avengers Tower!  Updated costumes (except, strangely, for Iron Man)!  We get to see Loki versus the U.S. Army, and of course they’re ineffective, so Nick Fury and Agent Coulson summon the team.  The trailer then shows a fairly traditional “assemble” scene, with each of the heroes getting ready to [...]

The official trailer for The Avengers was released this week. Check it out below: The Avengers is released in May 2012.
