Evolution Of X-Men First Class!

Edi Gathegi has been cast to play the mutant Darwin in the movie X-Men First Class. Darwin has the ability of reactive evolution allowing him to adapt to any environment or situation. I think it will be cool to see Darwin on the big screen, but I’m afraid that this has the potential of turning into X-Men 3 all over again.

All Star Animation!

In 2011 Grant Morrison’s All Star Superman will be made into a DC Universe animated movie. All Star Superman takes place outside of DCU continuity, and is Morrison’s take on the Superman Mythos. This should make a good movie because this is not your average Superman story.

All-Star Super Hero Shoes!
Converse is teaming up with DC Comics to bring us these awesome shoes. They are priced at about $55 , with at least 5 different styles to choose from. The three characters featured on these shoes are Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern. You can pick up a pair at your local Journeys or at Journeys.com.

In animation news, Young Justice comic book writer Peter David will be writing some episodes of the Young Justice animated series. It also has been revealed that Superman and Wonder Woman will be appearing on upcoming episodes of Batman The Brave and the Bold. If that wasn’t cool enough there is also going to be a new animated Batman series.
In video game news more characters have been revealed that will appear in Marvel Vs Capcom 3. Among several returning characters it has been revealed Thor, Okami, Super Skrull, and Trish from Devil May Cry are among some of the playable characters.
In comic news Wildstorm will be releasing a God of War comic book. Also Grant Morrison revealed in Batman Inc. the silver age Kathy Kane will make an appearance. Finally my favorite news, the Runaways will be making more appearances in the Marvel universe, which will ultimately lead to something big. Hopefully this will lead to another series.

Check out another photo from the upcoming movie Thor. Thor getting wet and dirty, you have to admit Chris Hemsworth looks pretty zexy. If he keeps this up we might have to make him a MAD Hottie of the week.

Alex Segura, you scamp! Right as SDCC is set to open its doors to the public today, he releases this new image of our favorite lady in red! Not much more at this time but more info and PLENTY of other comics-related goodies are sure to surface in the next few days. Ugh, what a beautiful piece!

Brightest Day #6 grants us some damn answers! Well, that’s the idea anyways. The full price of the resurrections (if all those deaths and Black Lantern drippings weren’t a clue) will become clear to the Returnees. Deadman learns more about the White Lantern and it looks like Martian Manhunter gets some special attention this issue. The series has turned off many but I think there’s still plenty of hope left in the Brightest Day.

I am way too excited for this crossover! Justice Society of America #41 is part two of the REAL Lantern crossover and the Starheart is making the Scott’s go bonkers! Please get in on this JLA/JSA event, there isn’t a better time to jump on board. Magic, mayhem and some of my favorite characters all in one book. Love it!

It’s Night vs. Zatara in Zatanna #3! The bad Brother is targeting Zatanna’s closest friends and she won’t take that lying down (in her amazingly plush bedding). A magical battle is going down in the sexy streets of San Francisco and it’s sure to be breathtaking.
Batman Beyond #2 has Terry getting up in Catwoman’s (well, a Catwoman’s) grill about the old Batman’s foes becoming the targets of his mysterious foe. I have yet to be grabbed by the story, honestly, but very nicely drawn so far.
The Silver Age is upon us in DC Universe Legacies #3! The original JSA and co. have stepped down and now the heroes more commonly loved nowadays come to the forefront. Not to be missed for any fan of DC. Really a beautiful, simple tableau of the DCU timeline.

Avenging Lights!

Time is broken in this week’s Avengers #3 and it’s up to the original A’s to make it right! While Kang came back with a warning for the Avengers, he’s not know for his helpful assists. If the last panels from issue 2 were any indication, he’s being bullied into working for the evil new gen Avengers from the future. Mystery abounds but how will this broken timeline affect the Marvel U, even if the Avengers can make it right once more?
New Avengers #2 puts the other big team in mystical danger as Brother Voodoo is under attack! Magic is changing once again and the Sorcerer Supreme has entrusted one of the most important artifacts to the NA before they can even set up shop. Just another day in the life, right? Maybe not my favorite of the new Avengers titles but it could very well start to wow me with this issue!

That’s not Lady Loki on the cover of X-Factor #207, right? I don’t think it is but X-Factor is back to its own storyline with a new green client! Babies, Shatterstar and the band all together once again! It’s high times for the mercenary mutants if they can survive this issue!

Pretty sure that’s a bad touch, Magneto. He’s like caressing her ovaries or something, GEEZ. X-Men Legacy #238 puts Rogue and Magneto on a path to Mumbai as Indra’s parents request his return to India. All is not as it seems when they arrive. Unexplained earthquakes and storm cells abound, could it be a connection to the Five Lights or something else? It’s nice to see the only Jain mutant get a little page-time regardless!
