Sony: ‘SPIDER-MAN’ MOVIES EVERY YEAR! Me: LOLOKAY
In case you’re the last asshole upon a bastion of denial when it comes to Sony’s plans for Spider-Man, you may want to listen up. Some Big Wig Person of Importance has announced that there will be a “Spider-Man” movie every year. Now this totally translates into “we don’t own any cool Marvel properties, so we’re going to puff up the Arachnid Universe.”
Oldest Superman Cover Design snags a cool $280,000+ at auction
Action Comics #15 cover design? Mad money! By God there’s gold in them there comic book boxes! Provided, you know. That you’re a ding-dong of the highest order and you’re keeping comic books from 1939 in a regular old comic box. Right?
WATCH: ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER’ TV Spot may hang mother of all spoilers
Does this TV spot contain a potentially enormous spoiler? Yes. Do I buy said spoiler? Not at all. Is it clever as fuck marketing either way? Aye, aye.
Hit the jump if you dare. (Please dare.)
‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ poster is all, irreverent and s**t
YeahIknoweveryoneandtheirmom has already seen this poster, okay? Kiss my ass and write my lesson plans for me if you’re going to bring that critique hammer down on my squash! Still, it’s gnarly as fuck and frankly I want to wank off to it with you folks.
Hit the jump to see it (again)!
Marvel down to four directors for ‘DOCTOR STRANGE’ flick
Marvel’s Phrase Something-Such (P3? P4?) is going to include a Doctor Strange movie. Why? ‘Cause we will see it, it’ll make money, and then Disney and Marvel will sixty-nine. A glorious, neck muscle-pulling 69, while Winnie the Pooh and Captain America pour gold-laced baby oil over the two companies.
But uh — Doctor Strange news.
‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY’ Promo Clip: Hear Rocket Raccoon go full Cooper
Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon is weird. Not at all what I’d picture, want, or cast. But hey whatever it is more Guardians material to sci-wank over.
FOX has TOTALLY CAST THE ‘FANTASTIC FOUR’ REBOOT. No srsly this time.
If you’re to believe the NETTER-WEBS today, the Fantastic Four reboot is finally cast. Finally! I mean I want to believe the buzz, but haven’t we been doing this dance for so long now?
Gnarly: Becky Cloonan releasing hardcover collection of her minicomics trilogy.
Bonus! Bonus! Are you a hard-on like myself who has truly dropped the fucking ball when it comes to picking up Becky Cloonan’s minicomics? Well friends — lest us not weep too loudly for our salvation approaches. Our chance at redemption. Cloonan is collecting the three of her minicomics, Wolves (which I did buy, ha!), The Mire, and Demeter. The sons a bitches will be packaged together, and wrapped in a hardcover. Sold.
Greg Rucka returning to Marvel to pen young CYCLOPS ongoing series
What could make me give a fuck about young Cyclops? Well if you’ve looked over at this week’s BTFC, you know it sure ain’t Brian Michael Bendis. But how about Greg Rucka? Dude is crushing it with Lazarus (helped on by the talented Michael Lark), so yeah whatever he feels like doing for the Big Two I’m instantly intrigued by.
Oni Press sends WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH copies of ‘THE AUTEUR.’ So good.
Double-headed dragons of domination, right here. Oni Press has sent the Westboro Baptist Church “review” copies of their upcoming title The Auteur. The excellently depraved book (I can’t wait for the physical release March 5) is right up their alley. Or rather, Satan’s Alley where they seem to be sending us. So yeah — great move. Some easy marketing for a promising book, and hopefully inducing mass vomiting among the cultists who populate that damned estate.
