Matthew Vaughn Deciding Between Two Millar Films To Adapt. My Suggestion: Better Source Material.
Matthew Vaughn gave my ass one of the best comic book movies in recent memory this summer when he dropped a quality First Class on an unsuspecting public. So how’s he following it up? By deciding which of two Mark Millar comic books he’s going to adapt. Matty, I know he’s your friend and all. But you’re better than this. Way better.
Venom To Get His Own Marvel Event, To Lead ‘New FF’ In It With She-Hulk, X-23, Ghost Rider.
Rick Remender is awesome. He’s going to be writing another gang of off-kilter bad asses in addition to Uncanny X-Force and Secret Avengers. This ragtag batch of douches and devils will team up in an upcoming event taking place within the pages of Venom, and Remender will be sharing writing with Jeff Parker and Rob Williams.
‘Avengers 2’ To Have New Team, Dr. Strange and Hulk TV News Too. Marvel Blitz!
Marvel President Kevin Feige dropped a goddamn blitzkrieg of information over the weekend at NYCC. News on Iron Man 3, Dr. Strange, the Hulk TV show, and oh yeah: Avengers 2.
Eat it up, swine.
Three More Photos From ‘The Avengers’. Featuring Cobie Smulders As Maria Hill. Nice.
There’s three new photos of the Avengers, the most tasty of which shows Cobie Smulders getting her Maria Hill on.

Preview: Jason Aaron and Marc Silvestri Bring The Rage In Hulk #1.
I’m excited for the Aaron/Silvestri Hulk reboot. I enjoy Silvestri’s artwork, and if you’ve read anything by Jason Aaron you know he can bring rage and violence. The precise elements I want in a Hulk title.
Hit the jump for the preview.
Even More ‘Avengers’ Photos Show Loki, Objectified Widow, Cpt. Rogers.
(Real images after jump for spoiler cautious.)
There is yet another new batch of poorly scanned images from the Avengers. I particularly (don’t) enjoy the picture of Widow. Failing to return a gaze, her tits almost out, her legs spread. Ah, the modern comic female.
Anyways I’m done complaining. Check them out.

Game of Thrones Creator Praises Marvel For Killing Characters. Not The Same At All, George.
I love George R. R. Martin. He brought me one of my favorite artistic wankeries in years, in the form of both the Game of Thrones books and television shows. So I respect the man. Yet it’s a bit off. He praises Marvel for killing off important characters, while failing to notice and important comic book trope that undercuts everything.
Marvel Teases ‘Avengers’ Event In December. With Typical Awful Photoshop.
Marvel is beginning to excel at using awful, awful teasers to hype up events coming down the pipe. For every dope line of Fantastic Four #600 teasers, there’s putrid ones like this. No seriously, whose kid are they letting intern in the graphic design department?

‘Fear Itself’ Continues Ripping Off ‘Blackest Night’ With The Mighty.
I acknowledge that all comic book storylines are a bit incestuous. There’s only so many world-beaters you can tackle and events you can make the best of before everything stars to bleed together. However if you’re one of those people (hi!) who feels like Fear Itself is so very Blackest Night, you’re going to find this amazing. Introducing The Mighty, from the pages of Fear Itself.
