Pretty much the same as the first trailer. with a few new destroyer clips. Still fucking salivating over here.
Thor is still my favorite book of all time. |

Holy fuck balls, if you havn't checked out the recent Spider-Woman comic, get off your fucking ass. I guess it started as one of those digital motion comics or whatever? I dunno I downloaded the regular comic version, but damn if it's not the best book I've read in a long time.
It takes place shortly after secret invasion, and agent brand of s.w.or.d. offers her a job as a detective with executive order, hunting down and killing unwanted alien presences. It's like a gritty, noir detective comic with aliens. Yeah, I know making things "gritty" has become an overdone cliche at this point, but in this case it actually works really well, and is not done, just for the sake of it. Also, the artwork suits the noir style perfectly, and is really really amazing work. Helps that given her backstory, Jessica Drew is an interesting character, made even more interesting by the position she finds herself in after secret invasion. Sure the "Hero framed and unjustly hated by everyone" story has been done countless times, but rarely on this scale. Even more rare is that you really get to see how this affects the character on an emotional level. Usually with this kind of deal, the hero barely notices the hate coming his way, and sets off to clear his name. Well in this case, Drew's name is already cleared, and almost everyone in the world still hates her anyway. And this book really delves into what that does to a person. On top of all that, there is a ton of action too. Very well drawn and put together action, at that. I was actually shocked at how much action there was given that it's mainly a detective story, with all that character stuff I mentioned thrown in. There is a perfect balance of all that stuff though, and the story moves a very good pace, because of it. The bad news is, that despite Bendis having really big plans for the book, it's been put on hold for the moment. The artist is burnt out on the character after the first arc, and looking at how much work goes into the art, I completely believe him when he says he had to eat, sleep, and breathe spider-woman for the entire time he was working on it. And Bendis says he doesn't want to do the book with a different artist, so he will wait until Maleev comes back. Normally I don't agree with that type of decision, but in this case the art of Maleev is just too perfect for the story to accept anyone else. This book is one of those rare cases where everything just comes together, and removing one piece, could seriously damage the work as a whole. That said, it is inevitable that they will return to it, given Bendis' love of the character, and just because of how damn good it is. I will be buying the trade for this, post haste. I suggest you at least download and read this asap. It's only 7 issues in, so it's a quick dl. Get it. |

Also, been reading S.H.I.E.L.D., and that is a really neat book. A little over the top, and one part in particular is a bit ridiculous, but it is all still pretty fun nonetheless.

I feel that in comics, the art can play a major part in whether a book works or not. The original Spider-woman mini series had a good story. It was mostly a tragic story though, and the book was ruined by this lighthearted artwork that completely ruined it. Just did not fit at all.
Similar happened some years back, during the Fantastic Four "Hell" arc. Dr. Doom murders the only woman he ever loved so he can gain enough power as a sorceror to send Valerie Richards to hell. And he adopted armor that looked like stitched together skin. All this in a cartoony art style that you would expect in a squirrel girl comic. Awful. |

Yeah, I was just giving my opinion.
You should check out X-Factor, if you don't read it. It is also like a noir detective thing. Moments in that series have had me dropping my locked jaw with their Awesomeness. |

Numerous reports from Hollywood indicate that Chris Zylka (Hannah Montana) has won the role of Flash Thompson, Peter Parker’s high school nemesis in Marc Webb’s reboot of the Spider-Man franchise, which begins production this week. Thompson is a high school football star who mercilessly bullies Peter Parker, but who also, in a marvelous example of how Stan Lee manages to humanize his villains, greatly admires Spider-Man’s exploits.
Flash Thompson didn’t have much of a presence in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, but since Webb is taking Parker back to high school, the nasty jock’s role should figure more prominently in the reboot. The Wrap has confirmed that Zylka will get the key role of Flash Thompson. Zylka, who recently played a dimwitted surfer in Gregg Araki’s Kaboom, joins a stellar cast that includes Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, Sally Field (see “Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben in Spidey Reboot”), Rhys Ifans, Irrfan Khan, Dennis Leary, Campbell Scott, Julianne Nicolson, and Anne Parisse (see “Spidey’s Parents Will Get Screen Time”). |

Tony Stark will have a new suit in Avengers! I also expect to see some Hulk Buster Armor, been that it's almost certain Hulk will be the team's first issue. I also have a feeling most of the costumes will be tweaked anyway.
Marvel's looking toward Avengers, Ant-Man, and Runaways as their next in-house ventures. It seems they reacquired the rights to Punisher as well. Whether that means he'll be assimilated in the grand scheme of things is not stated. My advice, get Thomas Jane back before DC puts his ass in a Jonah Hex reboot/sequel - although that's kinda win-win. Marvel's also looking into the females of the Marvel U, as well as the cosmic sandbox Thor will open up. |

I actually thought Ray Stevens was better.
I mean yeah, Jane is the better actor, no boubt, but stevens captured the character much better, and has a better look for the role. |

Just gonna let everyone know, any book with the word "Avengers" in the title has been great lately.
Except for secret. First arc was kinda dumb imo. |

Jane was great as the Punisher in that he started out as the happy family guy who had just lost his family.
Stevenson was based a few years after, and definitely had that rough, gritty look of a man battling a war for so long. But I agree, they should keep Stevenson. |

If they're going to put Punisher on the big-screen again, they should just work him into another property. At least for starters.
They should also use a new actor, but doing another solo movie would be a bit overboard. I'd rather see him as a secondary character in something, like Colossus is rumored to be in Deadpool. Or Nick Fury in the latest Marvel movies. His roots are in Spider-Man, but I'd rather see him as a tweener character in one of the Avengers off-shoots. Actually, if they have any intentions of making a Nick Fury/SHIELD movie, that would be a perfect place to implement him. |

Gotta agree with Jeritron.
I actually love the last two movies, but another movie, with another new actor etc would be overkill. But appearing in a Nick Fury movie would be a good move, or if Black Widow ever got her own one. |

His character would work perfectly if he had similar interests or objectives as SHIELD/Avengers, but wasn't working with them.
The type of deal where he keeps getting tied up in their missions, and is both in their way and helping them out. Eventually, they could come under one tent. |

Jon Favreau will not be returning to the Marvel Universe for a third Iron Man film, Vulture reports.
The article suggests that the choice was made at the director's discretion and that he informed Marvel Studios of his decision this morning. Though Favreau's reasoning is purely speculatory at this stage, it is likely that the director simply wishes to pursue other creative ventures. |

His strength was in directing Downey Jr. as a comedic and personal character anyways. The bigger the movies get, the less appropriate he probably is for it.
It seems like the Iron Man movies should stay that way, since the Avengers movies serve the other purpose. But Marvel obviously wants to get as much bang for their buck as they can. |

X-3 wasn't that bad, but Singer's X-men and the Spider-man movies set the bar so high that X-3 was a dissapointment,

I really enjoyed X-Men 3. The only thing I didn't like was that half of the original team were gone by the end battle. I mean, no Cyclops?! Jean was Dark Phoenix, and Rogue was gone.

I'd honestly put Spectacular up there on the same tier as the holiest of holies itself (Batman: the Animated Series). I still haven't forgiven them for canceling it.
