Digital Comics Market *Triples* To $25 Million. Intangible High-Five!
The comics market is withering. Maybe! Biggest January in the direct market since 2008, and now there’s news that the digital market has tripled. I find this news to be, as some are wont to say, ballin’ out of control.
Marvel Announces ‘Avengers Assemble’, Making It The 933rd Avengers Title.
If there’s one thing I need absolutely no more of, it’s a Brian Michael Bendis-powered Avengers title. Well with the movie coming out, it’s sour grapes and tough rocks in my sandwich. Lots of rocks.

Trailer: ‘The Avengers’ Extended Super Bowl Ad Extends Me Indeed.
There was some soccer game last night or some shit *cough* and I didn’t really watch it or something. However, apparently a really awesome Avengers trailer aired during it that may or may not be capable of cheering up people who rooted for the New Britain Red Coats or whatever.
Hit the jump for the awesome.
