You may never see Batman the way he could be portrayed in this week’s Batman Incorporated #9. Damian Wayne is dead. Time for Bruce’s revenge. Will Bruce commit murder?

Robin became a casualty in the war between Bruce and Talia Al Ghul. It was part of Grant Morrison’s endgame that began with Damian’s introduction in Batman and Son. Morrison talked with Comic Book Resources about his final Batman Incorporated issues:

“Well, the next three issues are basically “Vengeance of Batman.” He’s been pushed too far. He underestimated Talia, and then Talia horribly underestimated him. That’s really what it’s all about. And part of this is that we didn’t want to do Jason Todd again. We didn’t want to leave Batman an emotional cripple. The Batman we’ve presented in this run has been through some pretty bizarre experiences including weird Continue reading Batman’s Revenge Begins!

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.”

“This ties into a lot of things already happening in the Marvel Universe. The things that have happened on Earth in the past few events have had a butterfly effect Continue reading Marvel Wants YOU for Guardians of the Galaxy!

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.”

In The Avengers movie Earth now has its Mightiest Heroes but became a target Continue reading Guardians of the Galaxy Are Cosmic Avengers
