Kid Apocalypse is back! I met this cosplayer at Emerald City Comicon earlier this year and later learned he was filming a music video at the Seattle con featuring an uncanny crew of X-Men cosplayers!

While that series is underway you can still enjoy Kid Apocalypse: Came From the Chain! Here’s the Youtube link. Check out a cameo from the Kid’s creator, Uncanny X-Force and now Uncanny Avengers writer, Rick Remender!
As you can tell, this Kid knows his X-Men comic book history. Here’s a link to download kidapocalypse.bandcamp.com.
Joss Whedon has (almost confirmed?) that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will be part of Avengers 2. While promoting Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD at the ABC Fall presentation this week Whedon was asked again by IGN about the inclusion of Magneto’s mutant twins:
“You know, they had a rough beginning. They’re interesting to me because they sort of represent the part of the world that wouldn’t necessarily agree with The Avengers. So they’re not there to make things easier. I’m not putting any characters in the movie that will make things easier.”
Could it be that Wanda and Pietro could be supporting villains in the sequel? In the X-Men comics Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants before reforming and joining Earth’s Mightiest Heroes along with Hawkeye (another reformed criminal.)
You may scratch your heads with a film based on a Shakespeare being recommended by comic book geeks for geeks but this is Shakespeare by JOSS WHEDON!
The director/writer of Marvel’s The Avengers decided to shoot a film of Much Ado About Nothing in his backyard and invite a few actors you have may heard of like Nathan Fillion, Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof and Clark Gregg!
Yes, the stars of beloved shows and films like Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and The Avengers star in the Opening Night of the Seattle International Film Festival! Whedon, Denisof, Gregg, Acker and more stars from the film are coming to the Emerald City to appear at the Opening Night Gala on May 16th.
Geek Summer Obsessions! When we revealed our most anticipated movies and comic books of 2013 in January how could we have known the amazing new projects now on the horizon! We know what’s going to drive us to cinemas but these are the books that will make us race to the comic shops this summer:
Daredevil: Dark Nights #1 courtesy Marvel
Daredevil: Dark Nights (June) Acclaimed writer Mark Waid just celebrated the 25th issue of his run with a brand new villain. An all-star team of creators contribute stories to this eight part special series devoted to The Man Without Fear! Artist Lee Weeks (Last Rites) kicks off the event with a story he wrote and drew.
The success of Iron Man 3 is a reason to celebrate and speculate! Robert Downey Jr. is now reportedly negotiating with Marvel/Disney to reprise his role as Tony Stark in Avengers 2 and 3 but Iron Man 4 is not part of the discussions according to The Hollywood Reporter Heat Vision.
Avengers 2 is the finale of Marvel Phase Two (Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy.) Phase Three kicks off with Ant-Man and ends with Avengers 3.
What if you were forced to watch the world burn?Apocalyptic sci-fi horror from the imagination of legendary creator John Byrne (X-Men, Fantastic Four, She-Hulk, Next Men) hits it in a brand new series from IDW Publishing. Doomsday.1 #1 arrives this week.
Seven astronauts trapped on a space station watch as Earth is scorched by solar flares in Doomsday.1. but eventually the survivors must go back to Earth.
“I’ve been thinking for some time that I would like to revisit a post-apocalypse kind of scenario, such as was seen in my very first ‘dramatic’ work in comics, but this time without the more obvious fantasy elements of that original series (mermaids, alien robots, frozen mammoths, etc.),” said Byrne. “When bits and pieces of this new series first started to percolate around in my head, I knew almost at once the shape that ‘revisit’ would take; something in the ‘All-New, All-Different’ vein. And the first time I doodled some images of my ‘crew,’ I knew I was there!”
