HEY FRIENDS. I was fucking busy today! So I didn’t get around to commenting on (to myself, and like that one weird guy in the corner with the gnarly erection and killer Reebok Pumps) the various news and notes from the around the internet in the past 24 hours. Instead of shuddering in a fluid-covered shell of inadequacy over my failure, I figure’d I would round these links up in one tight package.

After the jump! Pre-Sequels, Sequels to Classics, More Dumb Comic Book Movie News, and More!

As a kid, young Hotsauce loved him some #1 issues.  Even for books I knew I wasn’t going to keep up with, I’d grab the first chapter.  Was it a collector’s instinct?  A love of foil covers?  Maybe to both, though I’d like to think it’s mainly because I am a fan of beginnings.  The promise of the start of a journey is much more enjoyable than the realization of or expectations for its ending, to me.  I doubt this is an uncommon feeling, though, and certainly not among comic fans, who are often given new beginnings, and rarely the finales.  The trend continues today as your LCS/iGadget/Whatever is inundated with a slew of “firsties.”  So climb inside the escape pod, hit the jump, and let’s talk Miles Morales, Iron Fist, Doop, and whatever other comics are nuzzling your nethers this week!

A full list of comic releases this week can be found HERE.

The Ultimate Warrior has passed away, at the age of 54. I say a good god damn – a lynchpin of eternal school yard debates from my childhood has departed for the shimmering bare turnbuckle’d ring in the sky.

Not content with completely dominating my geek prostate (and truth be told probably my actual prostate) with Winter Soldier, Marvel has issued out into the Ether a new Guardians of the Galaxy clip. Some new footage. Some old footage. Same burning want in me loins.

Game of Thrones, or as we call it around the office White People Fucking Their Siblings On Dragons w/Politics, has been renewed for a fifth and sixth season. This shouldn’t be surprising, as the show has slowly begun to consume our pop culture psyche at something like Breaking Badian levels.

Geek-Lord Nathan Fillion. It almost seems ludicrous that he hasn’t found himself a role in the MCU, right? Like — c’mon. Makes almost too much sense. However, the Geek-Lord Supreme may be at least dipping his toes into the Marvel Movie Slipstream with a cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy.

My soul is ready to once again swim in the murky, murderous seas of Hotline Miami blood. Is yours? Does it need a little push towards nihilistic pixelation devastation?

So it appears that Rendar didn’t do MMC this week! It’s okay. I love him. Bro-Love. Born out of a mutually shared origin story plucked from the depths of our Dad’s testicles. Grown deep in our Mom’s womb. Fostered by a shared diet of Soda, Video Games, Comic Books, and Rust In Peace listenings. This is a lightning warfare edition of MMC – typed (more) frantically (than usual) in-between duties on campus. ICYDK: This is the column where we share what we’re digging during a given week. Let’s dance.

That Sinister Six Movie is really coming, eh? Well, if it’s going to happen, it might as well be powered by a talented mind. Sony’s Marketing Machinations have announced that they have successfully ensnared Drew Goddard, and tethered him to the SS directing chair.

Without spoiling anything in Winter Soldier (Jesus fucking Christ, see the movie!), there are some pretty staggering fucking ramifications for Agents of SHIELD that rise up out of the flick. Much head scratching, what the shit now? type ramifications. So it’s rad as hell to hear that the Nick Fury will be on the show to help deal with it. And I’ll level with you: this sort of synergy gets my asshole so taut from excitement that it begins to drag my testicles nearly into its hairy abyss. I’m just saying.
