Marvel Cuts Staff From Editoral, Production, and Digital Staff To Cut Costs. Frown.

Marvel laid off a bunch of employees yesterday in what is being called a cost-cutting measure. G’damn.
‘The Avengers’ Features Scenes Shot On An iPhone. Welcome To The (Cost-Effective) Future.

So it is being said that The Avengers has scenes shot on an iPhone. Some scenes, in fact, which were in the debut trailer recently released. Who is making these bananas claims? On the Oscar-nominated cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, who is working on the flick.
Marvel’s ‘The Punisher’ Is Going To Be A TV Show? Mythos Rewrite A-Go-Go.

Frank Castle is a guy who has never crushed it in movie form. Maybe he’ll receive some sort of filmic redemption once his story is told on television. But if he does, it’ll be through a strongly different story.
Video: ‘The Avengers’ Trailer Gets Sweded. Homeless Thor, Pudgy Cap Get!

The trailer for The Avengers tickles my taint in ways previously reserved for niche porn and loved ones. A group of enterprising people have gave it the ole sweded go, and it’s pretty amazing/dorky/worthy of making my long ass day.

Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons Team Up For ‘Secret Service’. What A Waste Of Gibbons’ Talent.
Dave Gibbons is a fucking legend. Mark Millar is a guy who used to write good comic books but now is generally a sensationalist self-fellating fucking idiot. A couple of years ago their teaming up would have excited me, now I’m just hoping Gibbons will make some good money out of this.

Human Torch and Venom Joining ‘Secret Avengers’. Oh Remender I <3 You.

There’s more news regarding the Remender/Hardman run on Secret Avengers. Not only that, but we got ourselves a tasty look at the line-up, as well. I’m getting excited for this comic, especially since Remender can bring the dark, brooding, and comedic touch to team awesomeness.
