‘Big Hero 6’ Trailer: We Jumped Out A Window!
Man. I know nothing about the Big Hero 6 source material upon which this movie is based. It’s like — Marvel, right? Are there six heroes? The fuck is the number for? Google it, you say? YEAH OKAY KNOW IT ALL. What I do know is that this shit looks adorable as fuck.
Jason Aaron + Ron Garney dropping creator-owned ‘Men of Wrath.’ F**k yeah
Jason Aaron and Ron Garney are taking their talents to Marvel’s Icon imprint. The two dudes are using the publishing venue to hang Men of Wrath on the world, which has me sold based on the fucking title alone.
Ruffalo: MARVEL considering a solo HULK movie
Marvel’s maybe reversing their “No Way, Jose” stance on the Hulk getting a solo movie. How do you guys feel about a Hulk flick? On one hand, I’m like. Cyeah, bro. Smash shit. Be angry. For ninety minutes. On the other hand, perhaps the Hulk rules when he’s sparingly on the screen. The transformation is still special, the destruction still noteworthy.
ALEX ROSS drops new ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA’ and ‘X-MEN’ ART for Comic-Con
CONTROVERSIAL COMMENT: I think Alex Ross can sit on it. Sit on what? A fucking firecracker that I’ve tricked him into thinking is a prostate massager. I find the dude pretentious, dismissive, and the rocker (at least in the past) of a ridiculous ponytail. That batch of pointless, self-condemning hate aside, I find his artwork gnarly. Here’s some new artwork of his.
Marvel’s ‘Dr. Strange’ wish-list includes Cumberbatch, Hardy.
Lost awash my weekend of huffing used gym socks and playing Wolfenstein, and this week’s E3 bonanza was some more Marvel movie news. WHICH YOU WERE DYING FOR ‘CAUSE THERE HADN’T BEEN ANY IN LIKE NINE HOURS. Marvel’s wish-list for Dr. Strange has slithered out into the open, and it includes two interesting dudes.
ELLIS and SHALVEY leaving ‘MOON KNIGHT.’ Aw, man.
I spent a good amount of time (okay not forever, but for a guy with ADD it felt like typing it took eons) in this week’s comics column talking about how I was going to check out Moon Knight. ‘Cause Ellis/Shalvey. And now it turns out the duo that had me torqued on the title are leaving. However! It is none other than Brian Wood and Greg Smallwood taking over the reins to the Moon Steed. So, I’m conflicted.
Rumor: Marvel putting the ‘FANTASTIC FOUR’ “ON HOLD” because the comic would HELP FOX PROMOTE MOVIE
OOPH! And we all thought that the Marvel/Edgar Wright split seemed unseemly. A more sordid rumor making its rounds is that Marvel is going to put Fantastic Four on hiatus because the comic will help promote Fox’s movie. Man. I mean. That’s seventy-shades of fucked up, to me. Pushing (at least) the pause button on Marvel’s First Family? As a strong arm tactic against the studio that owns the movie rights?? So fucking dumb.
DREW GODDARD leaving ‘DAREDEVIL’ TV Show.
LOOK AT THE IMAGE. THINGS ARE SERIOUS. MARVEL IS IN TROUBLE!!!!~!!! Naw, I’m fucking around. Not fretting that much. And yet. Well, when it rains, it pours. And it’s currently pouring ill-fated piss all over Marvel’s face this weekend. Drew Goddard has thrown the deuces up and left the company’s Daredevil TV show. This seems more a case of the dude having too much to do. And while it’s a shame, shoutout to my hyperbolic header image for not really capturing how I feel about it. Which is more of a shrug and a “dang.”
SAMUEL L. JACKSON will be on ‘AGENTS OF SHIELD’ finale. ALL the fanboners.
Without spoiling anything in Winter Soldier (Jesus fucking Christ, see the movie!), there are some pretty staggering fucking ramifications for Agents of SHIELD that rise up out of the flick. Much head scratching, what the shit now? type ramifications. So it’s rad as hell to hear that the Nick Fury will be on the show to help deal with it. And I’ll level with you: this sort of synergy gets my asshole so taut from excitement that it begins to drag my testicles nearly into its hairy abyss. I’m just saying.
March Comics Sales: IMAGE continues to grow; everybody loves The Bat-Man
Grow, Image! Grow! Swell up, and strike at the heart of the Mighty Two. Or at least keep pumping out all the creator-owned comic books that get my geek-lit-sequential-art-nipples hard.
