3 superstar reason why you likely can’t refuse taking off with a brand new Guardians of the Galaxy series launching this week.
In last month’s prelude we learned the tragic past of Peter Quill. Bendis revealed on Marvel.com how these sci-fi themed heroes will connect to teams on planet earth and the connection to the 2014 movie.
“This will be the most surprising chapter of Marvel NOW! This is a brand new #1 that starts these characters off in a place for new readers but doesn’t rob them of what made them great in the first place. It’s also a great place for you to hop on and see why we’re excited for these characters to be in a movie and why it’s as good a franchise as Marvel has.”
Marvel aims for the stars with Guardians of the Galaxy. Brian Michael Bendis and Steve McNiven launch a brand new Guardians of the Galaxy series this week.
Star-Lord, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Drax, Gamora will be joined Iron Man. Bendis tells Marvel.com he’s been digging into the book’s history as he makes the team accesible to old and new audiences.
“We were talking about the characters, what they want and their reliability. I dug up some of their origin stories, particularly Peter Quill’s origin story, which as I tweeted recently I had come across, and decided that it was, for my money, as good as Superman or Spider-man’s origin—it was just no one knew it! It was literally a two-page story in MARVEL PREMIERE about 34 years ago, and I just really really liked it. As the movie was getting closer, and more drafts were coming in, they called me and said “Listen, you were so excited during the Guardians movie calls, we need to get this book back in the public eye. We really want to make it more a part of the Marvel Universe.”
A new Batman digital comic book based on the pop classic series starring Adam West and Burt Ward! Jeff Parker, Jonathan Case and Mike Allred answered the Bat-Signal and will bring the POW SMASH BAM of the 60’s series onto digital screens!
It’s all part of a massive merchandise movement from Warner Bros. Consumer Products. DC Comics revealed the (WBCP) officially launched the Batman Classic Television Series licensing program, inspired by the 1960’s Batman television show. Junk Food Clothing unveiled its capsule collection which includes a range of men’s and women’s t-shirts featuring live-action imagery and inspired graphics from the show.

Next month’s Action Comics #19 was to be a new beginning for the Man of Steel with a new creative team. Writer Andy Diggle revealed via Twitter he was leaving the Superman book.
“Sadly I’ve decided to walk away from Action Comics for professional reasons. It was the toughest decision I’ve ever had to make, especially with Superman’s 75th Anniversary and Man of Steel on the horizon. But it was the right decision. Onwards.”
Later today DC Comics Executive Director of Publicity Alex Segura revealed his Twitter:
Director Bryan Singer revealed Daniel Cudmore will return as Colossus in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The director also revealed Boo Boo Stewart and Fan BingBing have joined the cast via Twitter.
Cudmore played the X-Man who can transform his body into organic steel in X2: X-Men United and X3: The Last Stand. Cudmore played a role in The Twilight Saga. In the classic comic book storyline the film is based on Colossus married Kitty Pryde. In the films Kitty was part of a romantic triangle with Iceman (Shawn Ashmore) and Rogue (Anna Paquin.)
It was revealed earlier that BingBing will play Blink. No word on which character Stewart will play but when I saw his picture my brain jumped to (young Nightcrawler, the original Thunderbird- John Proudstar, or his brother Warparth – James Proudstar)
The director’s Tweet showed the cast list and mentioned the awards among the cast and ended with “now let’s blow —- up!”
Looks like we’ll see a famous Colossus/Wolverine fastball special in the next film!
Director Bryan Singer revealed a new character and casting addition for X-Men: Days of Future Past via Twitter. Fan BingBing will play Blink according to Deadline.
Blink is a teleporter created in Uncanny X-Men #317 and just when you thought Clarice Ferguson would go on to be part of Generation X but she died in the Phalanx Covenant storyline.
