The Seattle Super Hero movement has inspired a villainous challenger! The media received this YouTube video and invite on Facebook from a mysterious Rex Velvet. You’ve got style Rex but justice will prevail in the Emerald City!
Not sure if I should thank or credit Rex Velvet?
I will thank Rocket Launch Productions.

(I think this video is made in good fun and not meant to insult the Rain City Superhero Movement.)
The new The Dark Knight Rises trailer is like a geek seduction. It’s starts as a slow burn and builds into an action packed, awe-inspiring climax. Bane’s voice is menacing and cleared up. Catwoman is sleek and sexy but she’s still a lethal femme fatale and we get to see Anne Hathaway attack and deliver what might be the next best line after “we’ve got a Hulk.” See for yourself – enjoy.

I’me enjoying Avengers vs X-Men but I think I’m liking the tie-in issues even more.
Warning
Spoiler Ahead
If you have NOT Avengers vs X-Men #3 then you may NOT want to keep reading.
OK
Here it comes…
In Wolverine and the X-Men #10 Cyclops arrives at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning after escaping near capture by the Avengers on Utopia. Scott “just wants to talk.” Cyclops makes a plea for Logan to join him against the Avengers but was that really his endgame?
Jason Aaron weaves several compelling stories about identity in this issue. Cyclops asking Logan to decide if he’s really an X-Man, Warren’s belief that he’s really an Angel or something else, and Genesis coping with who he hopes to be versus what we fear he could become…Apocalypse.
From issue #1 this book has been a pure joy to read because of the great mix of action and humor. Aaron and Chris Bachalo pack plenty of action but this an issue that delves into the hearts and minds of these characters.
The action will definitely kick in next issue as Gladiator is headed to Earth to get his son out of Logan’s school and off the planet before the Phoenix arrives. And the Emperor has ordered his Shiar Death Commandos to eradicate Hope and anyone standing in their way.

Seattle’s real life super heroes are welcoming fans to catch up with Marvel’s cinematic heroes at SIFF Cinema. Citizen Heroes & The Collectibles co-present SIFF’s Avengers Assemble Week as we count down to Marvel’s The Avengers.
The Collectibles is a hilarious super comedy web series creators Dan Heinrich and Todd Downing describe as The Avengers meets The Office. Citizen Heroes is a documentary about the real life super hero movement in the Pacific Northwest.
Death Wish & Aguaman of The Collectibles were suited up and shared the trailer for their series before introducing The Incredible Hulk – the first in this week’s series of Marvel solo movies.
Before greeting the crowd in the theater I asked Death Wish (Joe Downing) & Aguaman (Frank Aye) about their characters, making the web series and their favorite Avengers.
Dan Heinrich and Todd Downing are the creative forces behind The Collectibles. If you’re job gets you down you might want to sneak a peek at the office comedy on the web. The story has costumed heroes with a twist that everybody can connect with. I asked them what inspired their series.
“The Collectibles” are co-presenting this week’s series of Avengers solo movie so I has to ask the guys behind these comic heroes about their favorite Avengers.
Avengers Assemble continues this week! It’s a double feature Tuesday night. Hey it’s for Tony Stark – big ego deserves a big night with multiple hosts! Knight Owl of Citizen Heroes will introduce Iron Man. Shield Maiden & Ennui of The Collectibles will introduce Iron Man II.
Wednesday you can travel back to Asgard with Thor in 3D with Citizen Heroes director Matt Harrison and Knight Owl. Thursday celebrate Captain America: The First Avenger with an introduction by Sky Man, the Tri-Colored Crusader from Citizen Heroes.
Stay tune for more stories with Matt Harrison, the director who just spent a year on patrol with the real life heroes of Seattle for his upcoming documentary Citizen Heroes.

What is the connection between Danny Rand and the Phoenix Force? New Avengers #25 revealed an ancient secret: X-Man Jean Grey was NOT the first vessel for the entity.
Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato continue their beautiful tale of another red-haired girl, the prophecy of an approaching firebird, and how the Phoenix was once in Kun Lun issue 26.
Fans of Jonathan Hickman’s SHIELD series (like me) will be pleasantly surprised by a guest star who aids Master Yu Ti in the search for answers to the girl and his dream. My only qualm is the misleading cover but I’m confident this tale of the past will tie into the meeting of Danny Rand and Hope as the Phoenix approaches Earth.
