This week, great deals of deaths as well as photos of the new Spider-Man movie.
Y’know, I wanna see a film this weekend as well as there’s not a single thing to see. extremely sad. All the great stuff is crammed in between March as well as August, as well as I’ll be extremely hectic during those months: X-Men very first Class, Thor, Captain America, Battle: LA, sucker Punch, Hangover 2, Priest, Transformers 3, Limitless, shout 4, very 8, as well as most likely a half-dozen smaller films I don’t even understand about yet.
Aaaah. It’s great to be American.
Hit the break.
NEWS about . . . COMICS IN PRINT!
DEATH AT MARVEL. January brought down Human Torch as well as in February marvel killed Marla Jameson. Marvel’s likewise guaranteed to kill a major character every quarter this year. (One is already announced: supreme Spider-Man.) death is the new “event tie-in,” looks like.
DEATH AT DC . . . as well as series CANCELLATIONS. Meanwhile, D.C. promises that its own Flashpoint event will modification everything. They guarantee that a “major” character will die in the series, as well as that the extremely material of the DC world will be altered. What, again? each time DC does this they screw it up. Please don’t tell me you like the last five “Crisis” series. They don’t even make sense. however you can be sure of a few concrete changes: DC is cancelling a slew of books: Azrael, Batman: streets Of Gotham, Batman Confidential, Outsiders, Doom Patrol, JSA All-Stars, flexibility Fighters as well as R.E.B.E.L.S. In other words, a whole buncha stuff nobody reads anyway. (I didn’t even understand half of them were still being published.)
SECRET AVENGERS. as well as speaking of cancellations . . . . Ed Brubaker will be leaving trick Avengers, which is good: It sucks. Truly. as well as I am a big Brubaker fan. Ed states the book is as well challenging handle together with his other projects, as well as it just didn’t come naturally to him. I agree. Kudos to a developer stating no to a paycheck that implicated his art.
MOON KNIGHT. No one, as well as I do imply no one, is much more thrilled than me to see Brian Michael Bendisand Alex Maleev handle Moon Knight. Dude was one of my preferred characters when I was a lad—probably my absolute favorite, actually—and I still own every problem of the expense Sienkiewicz run. Bendis just recently exposed that the series will be rather different: Moon Knight’s schizophrenia will be at the forefront, with him adopting even much more personalities—including those of his fellow trick Avengers. Okay, so it’ll be different. however I’ll bet it’ll likewise be extraordinary: Bendis/Maleev, after all, revolutionized both Daredevil as well as Spider Woman.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN as well as VENOM. amazing Spider-Man #654 ran a backup function exposing that the new Venom supersoldier—soon to show up in a Rick Remender series—will be none other than former-bully-turned-heroic-veteran Flash Thompson, for whom the symbiote will grow legs. It’s a fantastic idea—of program the armed forces would try to figure out exactly how to weaponize the symbiote (frankly, I’m shocked Norman Osborn didn’t try it)—but there’s a built-in self-destruct that may avoid the series from (ahem) fleshing out Flash. He can only do so numerous missions as Venom before the symbiote takes him over completely. I comprehend that this adds tension, however at the exact same time it will stop the character from developing—and likely implies that the series will begin with Flash going on a few missions as well as seeing exactly how awesome it is as well as then will deteriorate into a seen-it-before story of him combating off the influence of the symbiote. I hope they’ve got somewhere else to take this, however I have major doubts.
ALPHA FLIGHT. Yes, because of fan demand, they’ll be back—under the helm of writers Fred Van Lente (Amazing Spider-Man, Taskmaster) as well as Greg Pak (Incredible Hercules) as well as artist Dale Eaglesham (Captain America, great 4). The innovative team definitely can’t be beat, as well as the Alpha flight team are always cool. The line-up will be the original one, with Guardian, Vindicator, Sasquatch, Shaman, Snowbird, Aurora, Northstar as well as Marrina, as well as the series will run 8 issues. What, no Puck?
COMICS AT THE MOVIES
NEMESIS. Yes, mark Millar’s ridiculous, over-the-top miniseries is being established for a movie. I have to say, I believed the comic asked method as well much of me as a reader, in terms of it being totally unbelievable. Not a fan of Millar lately. He’s ended up being like Jeph Loeb: He utilized to be great, now he just composes “big” as well as “violent” crap that reads like a reheated as well as toned-down Garth Ennis.
