Kevin Feige lets slip Hulk in Avengers film?
But the thing that concerns me about all this is the hesitance to get supporting characters in the film. Keep in mind we’ll be seeing Black Widow and War Machine in the upcoming Iron Man 2, and there are even rumors we might see Hawkeye in the upcoming Thor film. What does that mean for all involv...
Gorillas Assemble!
Marvel released a new image teasing their “The Heroic Age” event, and it certainly seems that Agents of Atlas mainstay Gorilla-Man might get a shot being one of the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Granted, as we reported, Marvel won’t cop to that being the new Avengers line-up for the new Avenge...

‘Twas the Night Before Wednesday…
Amazing Spider-Man #619: I hereby move that Marvel re-title this comic book The Amazing Marcos Martin (Featuring Spider-Man). This is part two of Martin and writer Dan Slott’s Mysterio story. Sword #21: Hey, I thought Marvel just canceled this…?

Here’s something you don’t see every day: Praise for Marvel and Brian Michael Bendis’ “Dark Reign”…at The Comics Journal. It is, of course, highly qualified, and speaks only to the basic idea of “Dark Reign” as it was realized in Dark Avengers, not the line-wide, year-long branding exerc...

The business of selling content rather than Cracker Jack prizes: Last Thursday, Marvel editor Tom Brevoort defended his company’s crazy we’ll-take-returns-from-retailers-but-only-if-they’re-our-competitor’s-books-and-we’ll-pay-you-in-a-variant scheme on Twitter, n...
‘Twas the Night Before Wednesday…
Hulk #19: It’s a big Hulk week at Marvel, with two books tying in to their “Fall of the Hulks” mini-event. In addition to Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness’s Hulk #19, there’s Incredible Hulk #606 by Greg Pak and Paul Pelletier. Both are $4; the former for 22-pages, the latter for closer to 40. And, if y...

Avengers: Discontinued
With mega events such as Blackest Night, Avengers: Disassemble, Secret Invasion, etc always having an effect on books, Marvel’s current big event is no different. Calling Siege a shake-up is an understatement because as it reaches it’s conclusion in April, Marvel will be cancelling al...

Disney names new production chief
Now, why am I telling you all this? While Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige is spearheading the company’s Avengers-related offerings, there’s the question of television properties (like potentially a new Spider-Man television series, after Spectacular Spider-Man was put in limbo), as w...

Bendis, Millar, and Movies
While I’d say that last sentence might be a little over-the top — I’d argue that the success or failure of Kick-Ass will help cement (or debunk) Rich’s claims — there’s no disputing that Millar has been moving upward and onward in both comics and Hollywood, really helping pioneer the “wide...

‘Twas the Night Before Wednesday…
The Mighty #12: This is the final issue of the short-lived superhero title published on the DC Comics imprint (like all the DCU books), but set outside the confines of the DCU, which always seemed like a recipe for quick cancellation.
David Finch jumps to DC Comics
When it comes to the Young Guns, it looks like Marvel has one less weapon in its arsenal, as the Source announced today that Ultimatum artist David Finch would be joining DC as an exclusive artist! “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the DC family!” Finch said on the blog. “It feels too goo...

A View From My Local Comics Shop: Best of 2009 and More
In the spirit of Newsarama’s own Readers’ Favorites of 2009 Tourney, I thought I’d get a view from my local comics shop and see what my friend in comics, Chris Ureta Casos, the long-time buyer for Comics Dungeon, here in Seattle, had to say about comics in 2009 and much more.

Is this the end of… Marvel Adventures?
In the end, what can be done with the Marvel Adventures line? In certain ways, if Marvel decided to reboot it, bringing it “back to basics” is a smart move. What do I mean? When Marvel Adventures was in its infancy, they would print out small trade paperbacks, collecting Marvel Adventures Sp...

BlogsGiving: What Are The Avengers Thankful For?
Captain America: You too, young man. Wasp: Oh boy. Wasp: Tony! Captain America: Hank! Captain America: Hank, go send her back. Captain America: Hank . . . Captain America: Fine. Iron Man: (LOL) Iron Man, Thor, and Wasp: (LULZ) Captain America: Hank called him a dope. Luke Cage: Sure I do. Wasp: Oh boy.

Science and Supremacy
While the Mighty Avengers may be seen as a hearkening back to the old-school Avengers lineup, writers Dan Slott and Christos Gage gave Hank Pym — physicist, former Yellowjacket, one-time domestic abuser, current leader of the “real” Avengers — another bit of an upgrade:

Brevoort: No plans for classic Avengers reversal
But the question I have it this: when Hollywood — and thus, the general non-comics-reading public — see the Avengers, they will see something closer to the classic mold, with Cap, Iron Man, Thor, The Black Widow, The Hulk, and maybe Hawkeye or Ant-Man or the Wasp in the mix as well. Will Marve...

‘Twas the Night Before Wednesday…
Empowered Vol. 5: Adam Warren’s ongoing cheesecake action romantic comedy is probably the single best superhero comic book being published today, and you’ll find another 200 pages of it waiting for you and your $15 at your local shop this week.

Opinion: Norman Explains It All… Sort Of
If you’ve been following the recent goings-on in the Marvel Universe, then you know the score: Norman Osborn, having “singlehandedly” saved the Earth from the Skrull invasion, is now officially the man in charge of keeping the American citizenry safe and secure from danger, with the he...

Is Allan Heinberg returning to Marvel?
So when Tom Brevoort says “Avengers project,” I’m wondering if this means we’ll be seeing more of Patriot, Wiccan, Hulkling, the Vision, and Hawkeye in the future, in a brand-new Young Avengers book. (If my speculation is incorrect, on the other hand, as you see on the cover above, Heinber...

Opinion: Best Shots Extra: New Avengers #50

Didn’t we just go through this a few weeks ago when all those “Stan Lee to create first gay superhero” headlines were popping up?: “KAPOW! DC Comics reveals first gay superhero: Batwoman” This next one at least narrows it down to first “DC Comics” gay hero, but is still wrong. And this one get...

No one looks good, and the ‘exciting’ splash page with the new Wasp (did we really need a new Wasp BTW? No. Bring back the original Wasp!) summoning the team with the “Avengers Assemble” shout feels lifeless and dull. What should have been a “wow’ ... Dark Avengers #1 Review Comic Book Resources

The Fifth Color - Those Assembled
So where are they? What are they doing? What’s new in Avengers Town these days? secret Invasion says they’re all in the Savage Land (sans Ms. Marvel and whatever alter-continuity that BND-Spidey lives in… oh, Wolverine too… and Iron Man… wait, let’s stop while we’re ahead.). Mighty and New A...
