Now it’s really feeling like the Force is with us! This is sure to excite Star Wars fans.

 

J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot production company’s Twitter shared this photo with a greeting “Hi from the workshop.”

 

The director and his team are joined by R2-D2. Is this a hint that the famous droid will be part of Star War VII?

 

Shooting is scheduled to begin next Spring. No official casting yet.

 

Star Wars was my first film to see on the big spring as a little kid and I actually had a droid factory play set but none could be the dependable R2.

Gillen confirmed via his tumblr that it’s the end…of the season.

 

“Those who closely follow solicits have noted the absence of Young Avengers from the just-released February set. They’ve been wondering if that’s the end of our run.

In short: yes. Continue reading YOUNG AVENGERS Ends?

Is the Jean Grey School closing up?

 

In the just release Marvel previews for February Wolverine and the X-Men #41, #42 come with the teaser “School’s Out Forever. Final Issues.” and the following “it’s the end of the year for the Jean Grey School. Where do our graduates go from here? And who will have survived the experience?”

 

I really hate to see this series end. Jason Aaron along with artists Chris Bachalo, Nick Bradshaw and Ramon Perez have created arc after arc of action-packed epics with heart and great humor. Continue reading School’s Out for WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN UPDATED!
