Don Cheadle will reprise his role as James Rhodes in Avengers: Age of Ultron according to Hitfix. Will Rhodes armor up to take the place of an Iron Man gone wrong?

 

Cheadle wore the War Machine armor in Iron Man 2 then the Iron Patriot armor in Iron Man 3.

 

Director Joss Whedon says he’s going with a origin for Ultron that differs from the comic book. Ultron is an artificial intelligence who downloads into an armored body and becomes one of the Avengers’ greatest enemies. Continue reading Don Cheadle in AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

Kitty Pryde, Magik, the Stepford Cuckoos and Tempus just want to have fun, be human and not just mutants training or fighting the next big enemy. It doesn’t take much to convince Emma Frost to get approval for a Girls Night Out. The X-Women are soon caught up in Inhumanity as their London shopping excursion is interrupted by the birth of a new Inhuman.

 

Inspired by the wonderful Uncanny X-Men #15 this week by Brian Michael Bendis and guest artist Kris Anka I want to Friday Flashback to a classic and humorous issue with a similar X-Men “Girls Night Out” theme. Continue reading Friday Flashback X-Men Ladies Night

When a fan-favorite writer exits a popular book fans can get nervous. Jason Latour is taking over Wolverine and the X-Men from Jason Aaron who started the strange saga of Logan and the kids of the Jean Grey School.

 

The change comes after a major change in Wolverine – he’s lost his healing factor. Latour tells Comic Book Resources how Logan’s new status quo will impact the book:

 

“Up to now it’s all began and ended with Logan. It’s his strength this school is built on the back of. His reputation for being the unkillable badass has been their insurance policy. Continue reading WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN Grading the Teachers
