Spider-Woman Versus Gambit? I really like this matchup because the powers are similar and both heroes have swayed down the dark path so they could both fight dirty if necessary. Humberto Ramos created this showdown of venom blast and kinetic cards.
Daredevil and Archangel by Salvador Larroca is a wild card simply because of Warren Worthington’s recent transformation in Uncanny X-Force: The Dark Angel Saga. Murdock could take Angel but a clash with Archangel – not so sure Matt could survive.
Carlos D’Anda will be the artist on Justice League #8 as Green Arrow tries to join the super team. The fan favorite artist from Batman: Arkham City will illustrate the issue according the DC’s The Source.
The Emerald Archer wants to get on the new team but some JL members don’t get his point…so to speak…especially Aquaman.
Justice League #9 is titled “The Villain’s Journey” and marks Jim Lee’s return to the book.

DC Entertainment announced the creative team for a new graphic novel based on Stieg Larsson’s THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. Crime author Denise Mina will write the book. Lee Bermejo creates covers while Leonardo Manco and Andrea Mutti are the artists. It will be released in November 2012.
“Denise, Lee, Leonardo and Andrea have such great passion for the material and stylistically they’re a perfect match to bring it to comics life. Their beautifully dark and visceral work will certainly blow us all away,” said Karen Berger, executive editor, Vertigo.
Mina has written for Vertigo’s HELLBLAZER series and A SICKNESS IN THE FAMILY graphic novel, also for Vertigo.
Lee Bermejo is known for BATMAN: NOEL, a follow-up to the hit JOKER. Bermejo has also worked numerous comic series including Vertigo’s HELLBLAZER. Leonardo Manco worked on Vertigo’s HELLBLAZER comic. Andrea Mutti worked on graphic novel THE EXECUTOR from Vertigo, and then on the DMZ comic series.
Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy feature computer hacker Lisbeth Salander and investigative reporter Mikael Blomkvist.
The U.S. film version directed by David Fincher starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara is currently in theaters.
The sheer power of the Thing and a Colossal Juggernaut in battle will shake the Earth! Brandon Peterson creates the latest Avengers Versus X-Men Round One teaser image from Marvel.
Fan favorite Ben Grimm may be the sentimental pick but I don’t think he’s a match for Colossus in his Juggernaut mode.
It’s scary to see how easy and quickly it’s becoming for Peter to summon the Cyttorak power. The wholesome farm boy is long gone after a series of tragedies and sacrifices. I suspect a “Dark Colossus” could emerge in AVX.
Captain America Versus Wolverine! The latest Marvel teaser image shows the All American Avenger locked in battle with the Canadian X-Man/Avenger by John Romita Jr.
Logan has ties to both teams but this sure makes you think he will choose his fellow mutants in the upcoming war ignited by the return of the Phoenix.
Is Daniel Craig’s famous blue trunks swimsuit back for his latest James Bond adventure?
Empire Online revealed this photo of Daniel Craig on set filming Skyfall. Cast and Craig filmed at the rooftop pool of the Four Season London. You may remember Craig sporting blue trunks as he emerged from the surf in the Bahamas in Casino Royale
Will the Green Arrow shoot and score his own television series? The CW is going back to the DC Universe.
The CW Network and Warner Brothers Television have ordered a pilot from Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim (the team who wrote the Green Lantern film ) are writing and executive producing the project with Andrew Kreisberg (he wrote issues of Green Lantern and Black Canary comics) according to the Live Feed from the Hollywood Reporter.
Justin Hartley played Oliver Queen/Green Arrow on Smallville but is not attached to the Arrow pilot.
Berlanti is also involved developing a Booster Gold pilot for SyFy Channel.
Wolverine and The X-Men #4 cover by Nick Bradshaw courtesy Marvel.com
Fun 101 is in session in Wolverine and The X-Men #4 out this week. Jason Aaron continues taking us on great ride with drama, action and humor.
Aaron may become the “John Hughes” of mutant writers with this issue – and I mean that as a huge compliment since I was a teen in that era. The way Aaron captures the inner struggles, hopes and fears of this motley student body reminds me of the Hughes era teen films.
Would that make Quentin Quire a psychotic Ferris Buller?
Two refugees from the Dark Angel Saga in Uncanny X-Force join the Jean Grey School. Deathlok is a guest lecturer delivering dire predictions for the students and we see a vision of the future that includes one student sporting a very familiar firebird image.
Marvel freaked me out with an eerie preview image of Kitty Pryde pregnant and surrounded by Brood. In this issue Kitty’s labor pains begin and the headmistress receives a second biological shock.
Nick Bradshaw takes over from Chris Bachalo as artist. Bradshaw’s work reminds me of Art Adams and is perfect for the chaotic cast. This is a book that keeps delivering fun energy and surprises.
AVX Round One continues with more Marvel teaser images!
Daredevil and Archangel by Salvador Larroca is a wild card simply because of Warren Worthington’s recent transformation in Uncanny X-Force: The Dark Angel Saga. Murdock could take Angel but a clash with Archangel – not so sure Matt could survive.
