I’m hip deep in stuff today, so forgive the over abundance of video today. But at least it is something, and at least it is something good.
Marvel Comics has sent Major Spoilers the variant cover for the second printing of Invincible Iron Man #1, which sold out at the distributor level.
More Black Cat images continue to trickle in from The CW and The Kids’ WB! This time, the images are accompanied by comments from Matt Wayne, writer for the episode entitled Persona.
In the episode, Spider-Man learns the hard way not to judge a book by its cover when another Spider-Man starts making headlines … as a crook! It’s the Chameleon, master of disguise, looting the city and laying the blame at Spidey’s feet. The Web-Slinger is forced to team up with another crook, the lovely Black Cat, to stop his foe’s faux-Spidey crime spree and clear his name. Along the way, Spider-Man inadvertently comes in contact with an alien symbiote that dramatically alters our hero’s color scheme … and begins to mess with his mind.
Marvel Comics sent us the variant cover to Ultimate Origins #1. Yes, it is another Wolverine cover, but man, it looks good done up as a pencil sketch by Gabriele Dell’Otto.
The latest installment of the adventures of Roland Deschain is rolls into stores on June 4, and to hold you over until then, Marvel Comics has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the fourth issue in the five-issue mini-series.
She’s hitting the airwaves this weekend on The Spectacular Spider-Man, and the Kids’ WB and the CW have sent us the first look at the Black Cat.
Marvel Comics let us know that Secret Invasion #1 is getting a third reprinting, while Secret Invasion #2, New Avengers #40, and Mighty Avengers #13 are all getting a second reprint run to meet demand. As with nearly every reprint being done today, there are variant covers to go along with them.
We have those and release dates for the reprints after the jump.
With characters and events moving full force on The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon series airing Saturday’s on the Kids’ WB! on the CW, it was only a matter of time before we see the likes of Black Cat and that space goo that eventually turns into Venom appear.
The first hints happen this Saturday (May 17, 2008), and the CW has sent Major Spoilers the first few images from the show.
or the Beginning of the End?
I’ve heard rumors that the Marvel Ultimate line may be ending, or at least getting a big shakeup. The Ultimate Origins five-part mini-series will hopefully reveal all when it arrives June 4, 2008.
Is Brad Pitt being considered for Thor? Is Guy Ritchie set to direct Sgt. Rock?
The rumor mill is a grinding this Monday, and signs point to yes.
Marvel Comics has sent Major Spoilers the variant cover to The Eternals #1 drawn by Marko Djurdjevic.
Eternals #1 arrives June 4, 2008.
We live in a different movie world than we did a few years ago, when a 51% drop in box office revenues would have spelled death for a film (Jurassic Park II anyone…). Today, with movie studios eager to nab as much as they can opening weekend, the drop is probably expected, especially as the summer box office heats up with a major motion picture hitting theaters each weekend.
Regardless, Iron Man took the top spot once again bringing in an estimated $50.5 million for its second weekend, racking up up an estimated $177.1 million in domestic box office sales. Even though this drop sounds dire, Nielsen EDI estimates ticket sales are up 16% from this time last year.
But year to date, 2008 trails the same portion of last year by 2% with $2.87 billion in industry grosses. The young summer boxoffice is off 4% from the same stretch of the previous swimsuit season, as even the strong “Iron Man” grosses have failed to measure up against the first two weekends of the biggest film from summer 2007, “Spider-Man 3.”
Sounds to me like the only thing that can save the movie industry is YOU. Stop those illegal downloads and start buying those $15 tickets, overpriced popcorn and drinks, so you can sit in a noisy theater listening to the jack-ass behind you gabbing away during the best parts of the movie, while Stinky McFat crowds you out of your seat while smacking his lips loudly with every bite of that Kit Kat bar. Yes, those cell phones ringing non-stop only add to the ambiance, and the crying child - who should never have been allowed in the theater in the first place - makes you long for those days when everyone knew how to behave themselves when attending the movies.
With the ability to review comics comes a renewed desire to read comics, and I was really looking forward to the conclusion of this story. It’s been an interesting tale that once again put Wolverine, aka, Logan, in to a historical situation. The story is about love found and lost, revenge and seeking a measure of solace.
And it would only work in a Wolverine story, and I think Vaughan knew that as well!
Or - “Round Seven! FIGHT!!!!”
It’s all been building up to this…
The Prince of Orphans! The Daughters of The Dragon! Lei Kung’s Secret Army! Dog Brother #1! The Tiger’s Beautiful Daughter! The Hordes of Hydra! The Bride of Nine Spiders! Luke “Sweet Christmas!” Cage! Fat Cobra! And that Iron Fist kid…
Know this, dear friends: Heads will be BUSTED.
