Spider-Man 2 News

As I have mentioned before, I didn’t see Marc Webb’s Spider-man reboot, “The Amazing Spider-Man, because I had no need to see Spidey’s origin story again. Radioactive spider, bite; I get it.  Let’s move on already. Shailene Woodley is going to play Mary-Jane Watson, though since I am unfamiliar with who she is, I don’t […]

‘Ant-Man’ Test Footage (Sorta)

A while ago I posted that Marvel is considering putting its test footage for Edgar Wright’s “Ant-Man” on the Interwebs?  Well they haven’t done it yet, but there was an artist in attendance at Comic-Con, and they have drawn up and posted on Youtube a reenactment of the footage. Thanks to Collider for the info.

Cool Dr. Strange Rumor!

Remember when Marvel’s ‘Phase 2’ slate of films were announced?  They consisted of:  “Ant-Man,” “Thor 2: The Dark World,” “Iron Man 3,” Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Guardians Of The Galaxy,” and it goes without saying, Avengers 2. Notice who’s not on the list:  Dr. Strange, which is odd considering that Kevin Feige, the head […]

Michael Clarke Duncan Has Moved On

Today Michael Clarke Duncan died, and I have no intention of writing any nonsense about him dying before his time because the time you die is pretty much when it’s supposed to happen. The only two movies that I saw him in were “Daredevil” and Tim Burton’s (pointless) remake of “The Planet Of The Apes.” […]

And You Thought Being Batman Was Expensive…

As expensive as Batman’s kit is–and it’s very expensive–it doesn’t hold a candle to what it would cost to outfit yourself as Marvel’s Iron Man.  For instance, just the Arc reactor alone would cost, according to those enterprising folk at Moneysupermarket.com, a cool $36 million. And while that’s probably reasonable when you consider that it’s […]

Every Wonder How Much It Would Cost To Be Batman?

When you were young, at some time you probably imagined yourself to be a superhero.  Maybe one day you’d be Spider-Man, Captain America or maybe the next Superman. Or Wonder Woman, or Storm. Though perhaps Batman was one of your favorites. When you were young, all you needed was maybe a towel to serve as […]

New York Times Story On Creator-Owned Comics

Today’s New York Times has a neat story about creator-owned comics, and the role they play in today’s comic business, even though it mainly deals with Image comics.  It also mentions Rob Liefeld, who is bringing Youngblood back. I hope that he took a few art lessons while he was away because a lot of […]

Deadpool: The Video Game

One of the many things that Gavin Hood’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” got wrong was Deadpool, the anti-hero from the X-Men comics, because they turned him to a silent assassin-type, as opposed to the raging arsehole assassin-type that was in the comics. In that film Deadpool was played by Ryan Reynolds, which is interesting because Reynolds […]

The Future Of Online Comics?

As the owner of an iPad 2, when I want something to read, I often search the iBookstore (Apple), Amazon (Kindle app), Barnes & Noble (Nook app) or Kobo (Kobo app) though if I want to read some comics, I tend to look elsewhere. For instance, I have the Marvel and Dark Horse Comics apps, […]
