The "New X-Men"return

As part of Marvel's Secret Wars event, Morrison era X-Men return in E is for Extinction book.  It seems to feature Xorn's (actually Magneto, but not really...?)Special Class. Sadly, Grant Morrison won't write it but we get his frequent collaborator Chris Burnham. Looks interesting, might pick it up (between this and DC's Convergence I'll be broke by the summer).

Secret Wars and the future of the Marvel Universe

 It's been a while and I'm kind of late for this but on January 20th, Marvel held a special event related to the Secret Wars mini series that will be published this summer. And the announcement was big. Spoilers may follow.

No “Clone Saga” Teaser, Marvel?? I’m insulted.

In the last couple of week, Marvel released multiple teaser images from past events with a “Summer 2015” date. People speculate it has something to do with a multiverse crisis (hey, that’s DC’s department!). But they missed this gem from the 90’s. Love or hate it, The Clone Saga is one of the most controversial Spider-Stories ever. Marvel, you also missed Annihilation, Mutant Massacre and The Dark Phoenix Saga.

Uncanny Avengers Digital Comic Sale

 With the AXIS event fast approaching, Marvel is having an Uncanny Avengers (the series leading up to the event) sale with each issue at $0.99 each. Sale ends Monday at 11PM. Check here for more details.

Cyclops #5 Review

This series is a real treat. It has the main character (Cyclops) completely taken from his element. No X-Men, Jean, Professor X, timeline  (he’s from the past), in space and with his father (Corsair) who he though was dead.  Over the course of the previous issues, Greg Rucka showed us how different both characters are (Scott is insecure and uptight while Corsair is confident and lay back) but how much they need one another. This issue continues the father and son dynamic but also touches themes of loyalty and honor. I’ll try to keep the spoilers to a minimum.

Marvel, bring Nova (Richard Rider) back!!!

After an excellent comic run, Nova a.k.a. Richard Rider (or Ryder) was banished in an event called The Thanos Imperative along with Star Lord and Thanos. Two of the came back (the ones attached to Marvel Cinematic Universe), but Nova didn’t. Fans have been asking for answers and the next couple of Guardians of the Galaxy issues will answer what happened to Rider (or Ryder).

Fun with Photoshop: Nova for the NES

This week's entry is for one of Marvel's most popular cosmic characters, Nova. While Nova was created in the 70's, he became really popular almost 10 years ago with the excellent Annihilation mini series (seriously, check it out) Like a lot of Marvel games back in the NES years, this fake one is made by LJN. Enjoy!

Fox, please make that Deadpool movie!

Taken from Newsarama

An animated short film featuring Deadpool was leaked earlier this week and boy, it's amazing. It feels like no other comic book movie. I won't put a link here because Fox is taking them down really fast (I don't want to get sued). They nailed the character voice and style (it has the "breaking the fourth wall"humor from Wayne's World mixed with Tarantino like violence). In the short, Ryan Reynolds reprises the role (via motion capture and voice acting) of Wade Wilson but more true to the comic book version and its perfect! Even in the disaster that was Wolverine Origins, Reynolds played the character well in the flashback scenes (well, the whole movie is a flashback so lets call it the pre-no mouth scenes). Even Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza (the character's creators) praised this short clip.

The only problem I see (and I'm sure is the reason for not being made) is: who is the target audience? Comic book fans are a very small group, the studio won't make the kind of money they want, even if each Deadpool fan sees the movie multiple times. But, let's hope this project sees the light of day.

Guardian of the Galaxy figures for Disney Infinity

It's been years but still is hard to believe that Marvel is owned by Disney. A set of Guardians of the Galaxy figures for the popular Disney Infinity game (it's like Skylanders) will come out for the 2.0 update. The figures look petty sweet to put on a desk or shelve. Now, seriously, where is the X-Men set? We have an Avengers set, a Spider-Man, a Guardians of the Galaxy set and no X-Men (yeah, not even Wolverine). A lot of Marvel's most popular characters are members of the X-Men. I hope they released a set of Marvel's Merry Mutants or at least sell them individually.

The new Comixology Update is... dissapointing

Today, without any warning or previous announcement, Comixology updated their mobile app for Android and iOS. This update includes a new cart system for a faster purchase experience, includes Paypal and credit cards as payment options, and bug fixs. Sounds great, right? Well, it's not. While these features are great there is a disappointing restriction for each platform.
