Check Out the Fantastic 4 Teaser Trailer

Travis

I am having a hard time hating this movie, that being said the trailer reminds me of the storyline of the Ultimate Fantastic 4 storyline, which is a great story and a great retelling of the fantastic 4 origin. I am huge Fantastic 4 and a Marvel studios fan since Iron Man, which I still believe is the perfect superhero movie and I am a consistent 20th Century Fox detractor. Why a Fox detractor? They, like Sony, do not get that film making is art and not cookie cutter crap…

Is the Marvel Universe Changing?

Walt

DC Comics in 1938, with Action Comics #1, launched the original comic book super hero universe. They introduced Superman, the Man of Steel, the Last Son of Krypton, the Man of Tomorrow. Very soon afterwards they introduced Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Hawkman, the Flash and more. Then, in All Star Comics #3, they took the boldest step yet and introduced the Justice Society of America and with that created a shared universe. Over the course of the next fifty years, the DCU expanded exponentially and one world was no…

Amazing Spider-Man #11 Review

Media Release

Spider-Verse has already gotten a great deal of mileage out of cramming as many versions of Spider-Man onto the page as possible and watching the chaos that unfolds as a result. There’s plenty more of that in this third chapter. However, more compelling than Spider-mania is the long-awaited confrontation between Peter Parker and the man who stole his body and calls himself the Superior Spider-Man. That confrontation is the highlight of another memorable chapter in the Spider-Verse saga. Dan Slott picks up from the chaos of issue #10 as multiple…

This past Tuesday afternoon Spider-Man writer Dan Slott tweeted this warning to Marvel readers: “Set your watch. Your next Spider-Man related freak out is on the way.” Slott wasn’t just whistling Dixie. Marvel has premiered their latest “Summer 2015” teaser (which we’re still convinced are all related to Secret Wars) and it’s another callback to an iconic and now controversial moment in Spider-Man history – his wedding to Mary Jane Watson in 1987’s Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21, undone in 2007’s One More Day storyline … but with a twist.

Amazing Spider-Man #2 review

Walt

This issue picks up right where the last issue left off and deals with Peter Parker’s relationship with Anna Maria Marconi. In fact I have to admit the first few pages of this comic had me legitimately surprised. I wasn’t expecting Peter to problem the way he did. SPOILER I was rather shocked when Peter not only openly admitted he was Spider-Man, but explained the entire situation regarding the body-swap with Doc. Ock. I’ll have to admit Anna’s open acceptance of the situation stuck me as a bit strange, but…
