All You Need to Know - Mighty Avengers #12

Mighty Avengers #12 promised in its solicitation all those months ago to let the reader in on the little secrets of Nick Fury. Where has he been? What has he been doing? And I do quote:
The Eisner-award-winning team of Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev (NEW AVENGERS ILLUMINATI, HALO: UPRISING) reunite [...]

Beautiful and Terrible Denied

from the CBR interview with Christos Gage:
The stars of “Reason in Madness,” Thunderbolts director Norman Osborn and team member Venom, are both mentally unhinged — hence the title– but they also share a common history as Spider-Man foes. “That history will come into play in our story,” Gage said. “Without mentioning any names, Venom is [...]

Big Pimpin’

Before we talk about the latest Mighty Avengers, I would be remiss if I didn’t tell everyone reading (hi mom!) that METRO ENTERTAINMENT is hosting a special 7th annual FREE COMIC BOOK DAY this Saturday, May 3rd.
Now, anyone visiting this site would have to be living under a rock not to know about Free Comic [...]

Things that Wake Me Up in the Middle of the Night

Okay, so you know how in the last issue of Thunderbolts, the Swordsman and Venom go at it and in the very last page, there’s that big splash of the Swordsman’s sword going through the mid-section of Venom, only he’s pulled back the symbiote bits of him to show that the sword is actually disembowling [...]

Like Comics Giving Me a Hug

from Newsarama:
DiDio asked Jann Jones what’s coming up for the Johnny DC line, and she plugged Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the Eighth Grade, a six-issue mini coming “hopefully in the fall” by the creators of the “Kids Gravity” series that originated In Disney Adventures.
Thank you, DC.

Fandignance - Harry Potter

Okay, so bear with me on this one. I’m actually not into Harry Potter in the slightest (I’m one of those jerks who shouts they read it first when it was called THE BOOKS OF MAGIC!), but their fandom is absolutely amazng. The people who adore these books have produced some of the [...]

Please, We Wear Uniforms, Not Costumes

John Cho is hitting the press junkets for Harold and Kumar II: the Wrath of NPH, but of course thoughts will turn to that Other Movie he’s going, oh yeah: STAR TREK. Our new Sulu told Access Hollywood that our Fu is stronger:
I kind of became became a Star Trek fan because it was [...]

A Step in the Right Direction

Okay, you’ve probably already seen it a dozen other places by now (CBR being one of them), but I just have to say…

This is a HELL of a lot better than the Greg Land fiasco.
Do you think we’re going ot have to shell out extra cash for this one or will it be 50/50? [...]

Hey Look, I’m a Skrull

Or at least for a little while as we redesign and try to jazz up the join for the oncoming storm of Secret Invasion.  I promise regular funnybook pictures are on their way.

It’s a FAAAAAAAAKE!

Today’s a day for shouting stuff.
Over at TrekMovie.com, the winners of the ‘Vreenie’ or Fake Contest are displayed in all their non-spoiler glory.
Makes you wonder if anyone could win a No-Prize for coming up with the best “________ is a Skrull!” story from Marvel?  Or are they too busy with their own in-house contest?

Gets me [...]
