Avengers Vs. X-Men War Journals Episode 2

  AvX #1 and the launch parties are history. War is declared with Cyclops blasting Cap off Utopia. MTV Geek is following the series giving fans the ultimate access inside the famed Marvel Summits and with the writers and editors of the epic showdown. I especially love how the series gives a voice to the passionate fans (I really love the Mystique and She-Hulk in this video!)

As learned in the panels at Emerald City Comicon (when the Marvel asked the crowd which side they were on) the Avengers may have more fans in sheer numbers it’s the X-Men fans that are more impassioned and truly believe their side is right. Cyke Is Right!

Take a look at the latest episode courtesy MTV Geek.

Seattle Anime-ated by Sakura-Con

  On the heels on Emerald City Comicon, Sakura Con invaded Seattle. The three-day anime celebration brought outrageous cosplay and thousands of fans to Seattle. I love this shot of Ghost Rider. He must have been so exhausted from ECCC the previous weekend that he just stuck around!

  My friends at SeattlePulp.com (who publish my weekly Top 5 and other stories) and photographer Josh Lewis captured all the fun. Here’s the link to day 1 and day 2.

Seattle, we still have Crypticon, Zombcon, Geek Girl Con and Jet City Comic Show, I LOVE this geek filled city!

Marvel Teases Fraction & Aja Reunion Project

  Marvel revealed that Matt Fraction and David Aja will reunite on a new series to be revealed April 14th at the Cup of C.B. Panel at C2E2. The duo (along with Ed Brubaker) worked on the Immortal Iron Fist.

  Could this new project be a new Iron Fist series in the aftermath of Avengers Vs. X-Men? During this epic Danny Rand’s connection to the Phoenix Force will be explored.

  I’d love to see the team create a new Doctor Strange solo series. Fraction’s The Defenders featuring Strange and Iron Fist is a blast.

 

Michael Fassbender: The Theme of “Prometheus”

  The countdown to Prometheus is escalating. Michael Fassbender tells The Sci Fi Show in a new interview how the cast including Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba and Charlize Theron became part of Ridley Scott’s return to science fiction.

 “There’s always politics within, and that’s why, I think, this cast got together. The tempo, the pace, the intelligence of the script; each person has got their own agenda on that ship and it’s each a very individual agenda. Some people are there for the pay. Other people are there to get answers. Other people are there to hopefully attain some sort of secret. Others are there in somewhat of a spite journey. You’ve got all these collective relationships, individuals and motivations and that’s what makes quite intriguing even before the shit hits the fan.”

  I wanted to share this quote from Fassbender on the theme of the epic.

  “It’s basically about trying to find out if there was intervention in the birth of civilisation on planet Earth by other beings, which we come to know as Engineers, and whether they had a master plan in mind for us.”

New “Prometheus” Starmap Photos

  The starmap is just one the many geek freakout inducing images coming from Prometheus, the Ridley Scott directed return to the Alien universe. Now an awesome collection of images from the film can be found on a facebook app with an interactive starmap. Thanks to Dark Horizons for capturing.

Inside a Marvel Summit! Avengers Vs. X-Men War Journals

I would LOVE to just be in the room at one of those top secret Marvel Editorial Summits! Imagine all the great writers and editors pitching, fighting, and collaborating! At Emerald City Comicon Matt Fraction, Ed Brubaker and C.B. Cebulski said you will see inside the famous summits via MTV Geek’s Avengers Vs. X-Men War Journals. Here’s episode which takes you inside the creative storm and lays out everything you need to know to enjoy AvX.

AvX This Geek’s Theories

Avengers Vs. X-Men #5 courtesy Marvel

 These ideas have been running in my head and really come to the forefront after reading AvX #1 so I want to share them. These are not facts just my thoughts about the future of this series and the Marvel universe.

– The Phoenix Force created the mutant gene in humanity. They’re not Children of the Atom after all.

– Cyclops has been under the influence of The Void.

– The Sentry/Void will return to challenge the Phoenix Force.

– Professor X will take back leadership of mutantkind.

– Namor’s allegiance to the X-Men will be severed in AvX.

– Emma Frost knows in her heart Cyclops is wrong and believes Hope is a threat but she will not betray him. I think Emma will pay a terrible price as a result of AvX.

– Hope is not Jean Grey reincarnated. I think Hope may be connected to Madelyn Pryor somehow and this ties into Matt Fraction’s Sisterhood story during his Uncanny run. Which means Sinister is involved.

– Hope and the Five Lights are manifestations come to life like when Scarlet Witch created her sons.

– Jean Grey will not return in physical form but she will appear to Emma Frost from the White Hot Room.

Black Widow Busts Out in New Avengers Preview

“Barton’s been compromised.”

With that line Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) explodes into action in a new scene from Marvel’s The Avengers. Does the passionate response from the superspy signal that the Widow and Hawkeye aka Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) are more than fellow SHIELD agents? He’s a lucky guy as you’ll see below.

Thanks Dark Horizons.
