Marvel announces final issues of ‘Avengers’ and ‘New Avengers’ ahead of ‘Secret Wars’
BECAUSE OF COURSE. It seems like every fucking event these days brings with it the final issues of major titles, only to relaunch them with some new adjective after the fact. Uncanny Forceful Nouveau Avengers, here we come. However, I suppose I got to rock the Serenity Prayer and simply accept it as part and parcel of the current Big Two Comic Climate.
Marvel reveals new ‘Secret Wars’ by Hickman and Ribic dropping in 2015.
How do you get me to give a fuck about a Marvel event? Especially a seemingly refried edition of a previous event? You pop Jonathan “Big Daddy Philosophy Kane” Hickman and Esad “Everybody’s Mouths Are Open” Ribic on the fucker. Seriously, they’re two of my faves.

Much like me fanjaculating about Mark Hamill’s beard, this isn’t really news. But it’s definitely the source of the uncomfortable fanboy pants-tightening I’m currently experiencing.
OMEGA-CAST #9: MAXIMUM OMEGA-DRIVE
New podcast up in your fucking gutsss. With a special fucking guest: Pepsibones Krueger! *Phazer sound, Phazer sound, Phazer sound* Back from his stint in the OMNIVERSE. With The Bones in Tow, the Gang Omega relocated to my compartment of the Space-Ship for this edition, and what occurred is truly the tale of two podcasts. Off the bat we vomit chunks of broken-brain about True Detective, artistic integrity, Her, how much Bateman loves to feel inspired, Ms. Marvel #1 and other bullshit. Then the booze kicks in, and what follows is generally just Pepsibones and me babbling drunkenly about Avengers, Star Wars, and Jeremy Renner’s amazing vascularity. So it’s pretty fucking awesome.
‘AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON’ OFFICIAL TEASER: OH SHIT IT’S A LOGO
Oh golly! It’s a high-quality copy of that Avengers: Age of Ultron teaser that showed at SDCC. It’s old voice overs, but a pretty sexy logo. Which you have already seen. That is about it. So um, enjoy it.
WHEDON: Thanos was never the NEXT VILLAIN. Would love FURY on S.H.I.E.L.D. show.
Another day, another batch of Joss Whedon sound bites. Eh, I don’t care! I’m the speculation swine! I smack my lips all over the delicious morsels of news regarding Avengers 2. I am gluttonous, I hate myself, but I cannot stop.
OMEGA-CAST #3 – Squatchin, SDCC, and Pancakes.
Now that Patrick Bateman and Rendar Frankenstein have returned from squatchin’ in the Great White North, the Three Omega Idiots decide to tackle the San Diego Comic Convention Thing. Plus! Taking gnarly dumps, maybe two functioning microphones, how much better Thor is than The Flash, and cheap plugs of shitty t-shirts.
MARVEL ANNOUNCES ‘AVENGERS’ SEQUEL, ‘AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON.’ WOOO.
Fucking Christ, SDCC. I’m supposed to be drinking with friends, bowling and shit. Then you drop this fucking news on a Saturday night. So uh, yeah. The Avengers sequel has an official title.
‘AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.’ gets a PREMIERE DATE. Prepare for AUTUMNAL AGENCY.
Fuck yeah! Fall is typically my favorite season. Take the weather, combine with football (I am a generic American male, bred to appreciate thinly-veiled homoeroticism), and now we can add in a dash of SHIELD. ABC has revealed that the clunky-titled spin-off of Avengers will be dropping in September. Which — I know that means it isn’t Fall — is close enough to Autumn for me.
WHEDON: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver TOTALLY HUGE part of ‘AVENGERS 2.’
Anyone beginning to wonder how Whedon is going to pull off the integration of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver into the Avengers Universe? I’m not saying he cannot execute such a feat. I’m just saying that it’s going to be interesting see it in motion. ‘Cause, you know. By the time the first flick rolled around, all the major players had been introduced. But this time, it appears Our Lord and Master has some heavy lifting to do.
