Quicksilver (Evan Peters) was a scene stealing smash in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The super fast mutant was recruited by Wolverine and Professor X to break Magneto out of prison in what might be the coolest scene in an X-movie since Nightcrawler’s White House attack.

 

In the comics Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (Pietro and Wanda) are children of Magneto but left his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to become Avengers. Fans got their first look at the twins (Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Elizabeth Olsen of Godzilla) in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and we’ll learn just how they differ from their comic book counterparts in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

 

Back to Fox’s X-Men, Quicksilver dropped a line hinting that he may be the son of Magneto. In the film’s final moments Peter was holding a little girl – a sister perhaps? Continue reading POLARIS for X-MEN Movies?

Dick Grayson is no longer Nightwing.

 

Will a new hero take on the role?

 

In the aftermath of Forever Evil – Dick will become a super spy operative in Grayson #1.

 

After assuming the roles of Robin, Nightwing and even Batman – Dick is moving on to a new role without a mask or costume.

 

Dick’s transformation may seem like a surprise move but it gives many Grayson fans want they’ve wanted. Grayson is a great hero who can’t never really become Batman permanently or could never escape being in Batman’s shadow. Continue reading NIGHTWING Blue

The Sentinels were as chilling and relentless as longtime X-fans expected them to be in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

 

Director Bryan Singer and the X-Team showed us the original Sentinels as created by Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) and the adaptable versions of the future. In an unique twist from comics lore, Trask used the shapeshifting genes of Mystique in order to make the robots adapt to any prey’s powers.

 

X-Men Apocalypse is the next movie in which the immortal first mutant will appear be the villain but is Team Fox X-Men finished with the Sentinels? Continue reading SENTINELS of X-MEN FUTURE?

NIGHTWING #30 Finale And New Beginning

Don’t think of Nightwing #30 as a finale but a bold new beginning for one of the greatest heroes in comics. It is the final issue of Nightwing starring Dick Grayson but his story is far from over in a surprising relaunch and new role.

 

In the aftermath of Forever Evil, the world thinks Dick Grayson is dead. The Crime Syndicate captured, tortured and exposed Nightwing’s real identity to the world. In the Forever Evil finale Lex Luthor “killed” Dick to save the day.
Nightwing #30 gives us a brutal battle between Batman and Nightwing as Bruce test Dick and asks him to make a major sacrifice. It’s a bloody fight filled with power and raw emotions. It’s as if Bruce and Dick’s fight is ripping apart their past as the rip apart the Batcave to push the one-time sidekick finally out of the Batman legacy into his own new future. Continue reading NIGHTWING #30 Finale And New Beginning
