Avengers Assemble: The Avengers Protocol Part 1
Tomorrow morning is the television premiere on Disney XD of the new Marvel series “Avengers Assemble.” I was a big fan of the last series, “Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes,” which was canceled to make way for this new series. Word is they wanted to bring the characters more in line with other animation like “Ultimate Spider-Man.” We’ll see how it rates, after the jump.
Age of Ultron: Off the Rails
Everything has changed in the Marvel Universe of the Age of Ultron maxi-series. In a bid to save everything, Wolverine has traveled to the past and murdered the Avenger Hank Pym before he can create the artificial intelligence known as Ultron – who in the present has conquered the planet and decimated mankind.
One continuity, wiped from time by Ultron, a second, marred by the berserker Wolverine trying to set things right. Now we find ourselves in a world unlike either before it, one where Wolverine and the Invisible Woman are prisoners of an Iron Man who rules this planet. What’s next? Find out in my review of Age of Ultron Book Eight, after the jump…
Trailer Time: The Full Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Trailer
Just days after the announcement that this Joss Whedon series is on the schedule for ABC, we now have the complete trailer. Presenting “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Check it out, folks!
Trailer Time: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This week, the network television new season line-ups were revealed, and at the front of ABC’s offerings was the Avengers television spin-off “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” And we have not one, but two sneak peeks!
Angela Comes To The Marvel Universe
Today our pals at Marvel supplied us with Joe Quesada’s all-new look for Angela, the character that comes over to the Marvel Universe from Image Comics. Originally conceived by Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane for Spawn, the character was the source of a lawsuit between the two regarding ownership of the character (read about it here).
With Gaiman’s return to Marvel, he brings Angela with him. She’ll play a part in the culmination of the Age of Ultron mini-series, and then appear in Guardians Of The Galaxy. I’m actually excited to see how Marvel utilizes Angela – how about you?
Iron Man: Super-Villain?
By the end of this weekend we’ll probably all have seen the third installment of the Iron Man film series, Iron Man 3. The armored avenger seems to be more popular now than ever before. He wasn’t always this popular though, even to comics fans.
When I was a wee one, I didn’t even know who Iron Man was, beyond the guy in the armor in the Avengers. My very first impression of him, my first comic book with him in it… was a wild one. It was a comic that showed me a whole different side of Iron Man, or at least in the memory of a six year old boy. I’ll be back after the jump with my memories and thoughts on The Incredible Hulk #131 from 1970.
Saturday at the Movies: Iron Man Three
Wow! That was all I could think walking out of Iron Man Three late late last night. This was a phenomenal film, but it was sooo not what I expected. This flick was not what anyone expected. And it will blow everyone away. This is the must-see film of the summer so far. Check out my relatively spoiler-free review after the jump.
Age of Ultron: Back to the Future
Everything has changed in the Marvel Universe of the Age of Ultron maxi-series. In a bid to save everything, Wolverine has traveled to the past and murdered the Avenger Hank Pym before he can create the artificial intelligence known as Ultron – who in the present has conquered the planet and decimated mankind.
But we all know what happens when you mess with time, don’t we? Yep, that’s right. Biff kills your dad, marries your mom, and makes her get back-breaking breast implants. Things may have gone from bad to worse for Wolverine and his traveling companion, the Invisible Woman. Find out why, in my review of Age of Ultron Book Seven, after the jump…
