Read the first 10 pages of Marvel's Secret Invasion/New Iron Man Trailer

Over at Entertainment Weekly's online outlet EW.com, Marvel showed off it's newest summer "event" Secret Invasion, by giving the readers the first 10 (Well 8 really) pages of the first issue. I am quite excited about the new comic crossover, but don't feel to crazy about it taking 8 months to reslove. I'm just not that patient, thats why I usually just buy the trades when Marvel releases them a year or so later.
Check it out here at EW.com

EW.com also has an interview with Secret Invasion's writer Brian Michael Bendis HERE

Cosmic Comix Website Relaunch!

My Favorite small comics site has just recently re-launched with a more "bloggy" feel to it. You can check out current 0r upcoming releases for comics and action figures, listen to the podcast Comic Book Conversations or read news and reviews for the in house review guy Shawn Douglas. Shawn's reviews are always an entertaining read, I don't always agree with him, but since vowing to only review what he likes put him quite ahead of all the amateur bashers who call themselves comic reviewers that in my opionon. plauge the web. Not that i want every review I read to be flowers and sun shine, but sometimes it seems like bloggers play a game called "Who can bash it first!"
Any way it's a good group of people who are always entertaining to listen to or read and the site is currently add free. (unless you count the fact that the site is kinda an add for the comic store)

Comic Movie Roumor Round Up

There have been a lot of rumors and leaks this past week and here's a quick synopses to keep you caught up.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Not only has the above photo been realsed this week but several new casting roumors have been reported (or blogged). Ain't it cool news reports Ryan Reynolds will be playing the smarth mouthed mercarny Deadpool. Super Hero Hype announced that Taylor Kitsch will be playing that crafty cajun Gambit. And in from left field, slashfilm wrote that rapper will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas will play John Wraith a mutant teleporter who teamed worked with Wolverine during his Canadian espionage days. (even stranger they say his group mate Taboo will play an unknown role in the Chung Li movie?!)

Batman: The Dark Knight

This Photo was posted by darkhorizons and is not only a toy of Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face, but what life actually looks like out of Two-Face's bad eye.

Watchmen

Watchmen has wrapped shooting and begun what I can only imagine is an immense editing phase. Lucky for us Zack Snyder wasn't too busy to drop this new Rorschach still on us!

Read Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield's weekely Freak Angel online for free

The new free weekly online comic Freak Angel from the extraordinarily talent of Warren Elis and Paul Duffield looks great and has gotten my attention is just 6 pages. It seems to be a post apocalyptic super hero steam punk comic, which in my opinion there just are not enough of on the planet. I don't know how I'll manage with just 6 pages at a time, I just may have to stay away for several months and check back for a longer read. I'm sure if this is even a marginal success, I'm sure there will be a paper collection of some sort. I must say I really admire the effort of new distribution method, if it dies well I'm sure we'll see a more web comics like this.

Check out this weeks edition HERE
Still not sure? Than read the first page below first.

Update: We have just added a Freak Angels widget below, so now you can always get there from here.

Batman: Gotham Knight Direct to DVD Anime

The WB is releasing a Batman DVD seemingly similar to the Animatrix (they even reference it in this promo) The DVD looks good, but this promo is lite on the action and heavy on people talking about the action. Batman: Gotham Knight seems like a very cool way for Warner Brothers to make an extra buck while adding to the viral marketing of an upcoming blockbuster movie.

The Incredible Hulk vs. Omar?

In an interview with allhiphop.com Michael K. Williams tells of his upcoming roles in various movies by saying

"I got two films coming up this year, one is The Hulk 2 with Ed Norton, and I'm in the new Spike Lee joint called Miracle At St. Anna, which is based on the Buffalo Soldier story of the 92nd infantry. I just booked this new Picture called The Road with Charlize Theron. I'm excited about that and eager to work with her. I'm just cranking them out little by little."

From this I can deduce two things, 1) That Michael K. Williams is in the new Incredible Hulk movie. And 2) He will reprise his role as Omar Little , every one's favorite shotgun wielding, drug dealer robbing, tell Marlo it's personal, the game is the game vigilante from Baltimore and be the only person able to stop Bruce (sometimes David) Banner from destroying Pimlico and all of Park Heights! I thought of it so it must be true! Besides as I understand it Edward Norton had total re-write privileges for the Incredible Hulk and is from Columbia MD. Which is a suburb of Baltimore (Well Baltimore is closer than DC anyway)

Trailer Post: Super Bowl Edition

During what I thought was one of the more exciting Super Bowls in a few years you may have missed some of the great movie trailers. Lucky for you I have a few of my favorites below! I know the Super Bowl had a lot of great adds, but forgive me if I get more excited about a new Iron Man movie than a six pack of Bud(I drink Natty Boh or Yuengling, it's a regional thing I guess). But Just in case you wanted to see them check out YouTube has a special page, check it out HERE

Now on to the trailers!

First up we have the Iron Man trailer, while I enjoyed seeing more of the crimson avenger, I think the last trailer got me more excited. It was probably the absence of Ozzy's Iron Man amongst Downey's Iron Man



Next up is another movie adaptation of a comic book, Mark Millar's Wanted. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if your over the age of 18 and you haven't read this graphic novel, you need to.(The book contains some adult themes)I must also say I am a big Common fan, I have been since his classic Hip-Hop album Resurrection(Which you also NEED to own)



Last up we have an adaption not from a comic book, but a book I love none the less, Prince Caspian. I find it odd the order in which Disney is releasing the cinematic versions of C.S.Lewis's classics (Prince Caspian is the 4th in the series)but hold out great hope Disney releases them all.



During the Super Bowl we also saw trailers for Leatherheads, which looks funny and Wall-E, which looks like a young Johnny 5 from Short Circuit.

Read the Death of Capitan America online, for free!

For a limited time Marvel is putting last year's best selling comic, Capitan America #25. If you haven't read this instant classic yet, I highly recommend it. Cap #25 is featuring the gorgeous pencils of Steve Epting, and written by my current favorite Comic writer, Ed Brubaker. Marvel is only keeping this one free for 2 weeks, undoubtedly to promote this weeks Captain America #34 where a new Captain America emerges. If you enjoy this digital comic I recommend the trade paper backs written by Brubaker, I was never really a Cap fan, but Brubaker's writing keeps me gripped to every panel.

Check out Captain America # 25 HERE (you need the current version of flash)

117 Reasons to Hulk Out!

While poking my nose around where it doesn't belong I found the Blog of TV producer Kenneth Johnson. Who is Kenneth Johnson you may ask, Well he produced several TV shows in and around the 80's. The most notable of said TV shows would be Alien Nation and The Incredible Hulk. Up on his list he has a wonderful list of reasons good ole Dr. Banner would transform into the not so jolly green giant. Oddly enough I didn't see a single mention of that one episode where Dr. Banner tried to buy a Wii for his nephew, "Hulk smash puny teen aged condescending Gamestop manager!"

Another Great Bat-Fan trailer mash up!

I don't know if it's the fact that I'm not watching as much TV since the strike, of if it's just going to be another great year to be a comic book fan at the movies, but I am excited about all the comic book based movies due out next year. I'm excited about all the movies just being worked on next year. Heck I'm excited all the movies rumored to have a green light and no script. (I'm looking at you studio execs.)

The longer the strike lingers on the more worried I get about future projects. I like most of America feel the writers are justified, and will patiently wait untill the studio execs smarten up and offer these people whats fair, but I don't have to like waiting. As a comic book reader in the 90's if I learned nothing from the creation of Image comics, it's how important writers are. I'll stop ranting now, but look for future writer supporting rants in posts to come.



I think HellBoy II will be a fun action/adventure/popcorn movie, I am so thankful that they let Mike Mignola and Guillermo del Toro make a second flick...

For this lat trailer you really need to crank your speakers at 1:34. So far every think a read about this movie gets me more pumped. I'm glad they're using Ozzie's Iron Man, I glad self proclaimed Iron Man, Ghostface Killer makes an appearance. MY only additional hope for a cameo would be Baseball's Iron Man, Cal Ripken Jr.

Screen Shots from New Justice Leauge Animated Movie.

I don't know about you, but I haven't been disappointed with one of the Justice League animated movies yet. DC has a solid rep for good cartoons dating back to Batman the Animated Series. Here's a few pics from the upcoming movie...


























Also if you haven't seen Superman-Doomsday yet I highly recommend it!

Watch the New Bat-Man The Dark Knight trailer!
