Ed Brubaker: ‘WINTER SOLDIER’ is best movie Marvel’s made.
Now listen. Ed Brubaker is the skilled fucking craftsman behind the story of the upcoming Cap Guy: Winter Baddie. The writer is responsible for penning the excellent comics that shall be officially transmuted into cinematic form come this April. So may he be a little biased in his evaluation of the movie? Sure! Or you could say he may be exceptionally critical, since it is his baby that they’re adapting.
Japan cleaning up space junk with a giant f**king net!
Hey man, space debris is a real fucking problem. I saw Gravity. Blow up one satellite and all of a sudden there’s some insane chain reaction that leads to Sandra Bullock floating around in her underwear. Wait — is that bad? I’m confused now. Well anyways Japan thinks it’s bad. Way bad.
‘AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON’ casts its BARON VON STRUCKER
Caps lock means excitement! Caps lock means excitement! Except for when I always use it, which pretty much denigrates it down into utter worthlessness. Anyways fuck me, fuck caps lock, fuck whatever. We’re here to talk Avengers: Age of Ultron casting.
Ya heard?
Buy These Flippin’ Comics!!! (1.15.2013) – He’s A Miracleman, Man
What if Superman took over the world…and the story ends there? Not because there isn’t anything left to tell, or that once a man who is also a god declares himself king there is no more strife in the world. No – the story ends because DC loses the rights to Superman, and the character remains tied up in litigation for years, and the story CAN’T be told. Sorry, no third act. Curtains.
Hit the jump and let’s talk about the very similar story of Miracleman, the dawn of deconstructionism in comics, and how the third act in the story of Miracleman begins again this week courtesy of Marvel!
Oh, and we’ll also be chatting about some of the other cool books dropping this week (full list can be found HERE) so if Miracleman ain’t yo’ thang you might find some other goodies within.
MICHAEL PENA may be joining ‘ANT-MAN.’ Who shall he play?
Michael Pena is going to be playing an ant in Ant-Man. Sick, right? Naw, I’m just kidding. No idea who he is playing. But I mean…Probably an ant, right? And I’m excited. ‘Cause dude was great in American Hustle. And dude was even better in Eastbound & Down. Getting into that epic boobies versus bums conversation with Kenny. Never forget.
Lead ‘WORLD OF WACRAFT’ designer has joined Riot Games
The lead dude behind World of Warcraft has joined Riot Games. You may know The Rioting Gamers as the company who has created that League of Legends game. Which is like — way huge. But I don’t really know about it. You see, I’m old as shit. Once you get me past Super Mario Worlds 2D, I’m pretty much useless. I do know that Warcraft World game though. Took the better part of my twenties. Just drinking Dew, rotting my brain, and jacking off furiously between raid wipes. The good old days.
Wait, what is this post about again?
Vertigo announces ‘VERTIGO QUARTERLY: CMYK.’ ILL ANTHOLOGY GET.
OH WORD? Vertigo is putting out a fucking quarterly anthology? Stacked with goddamn talent? Like Jock? Fabio Moon? Others? Bro, you sign me up. In blood and seminal fluids. That’s how serious I am. Drain me and clone me, I simply don’t care.
‘JUSTIFIED’ ending after its sixth season. No, Raylan! No!
All fantastic things must come to an end. Even Justified, which is my favorite television show currently airing. All fantastic things could also usually use some semblance of an end point to aim towards. So while I’m a bit butt hurt that Raylan’s adventures have a little less than two seasons left, I’m glad the writers have a trajectory they can keep in mind while they plot.
