Rags Morales Joins NEW AVENGERS #16

Jonathan Hickman’s New Avengers continues to be one of my favorite Marvel books. It stars the Illuminati – a secret cabal fighting a threat to Earth so great – they keep it secret from Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Namor and Black Panther’s uneasy alliance has been tested time and again as their nations have gone to war.

But can the two titans resolve their differences and keep the peace? Continue reading Rags Morales Joins NEW AVENGERS #16

FANTASTIC FOUR VILLAIN VISIONS

Fox is injecting youth into its Fantastic Four reboot. Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell are reportedly the studio’s choices for Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben.

Josh Trank (Chronicle) is directing what is likely to be a modern take that doesn’t remain completely faithful to the source.

Now that we know who is playing the heroic team of adventurers time to ask the bigger questions:

Which villains will Marvel’s First Family face in next film? Continue reading FANTASTIC FOUR VILLAIN VISIONS

Black Panther Movie Update

Blade was the first successful Marvel character to hit the big screen but when will fans see another African-American in the leading role of a superhero movie?

Black Panther is one of the greatest and most important heroes in the Marvel Universe with ties to Avengers, Fantastic Four and he’s the former husband of Storm of the X-Men. While promoting Thor: The Dark World, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige was asked about T’Challa.

“In terms of Black Panther, it’s absolutely in development,” Feige told BlackTree TV “When you have something as rich as Wakanda and his backstory — and clearly Vibranium’s been introduced in the universe already — I don’t know when it will be exactly, but we certainly have plans to bring him to life some day.” Continue reading Black Panther Movie Update

All-New INVADERS James Robinson Preview

The Invaders are back as part of Marvel’s All-New Marvel Now recharge. James Robinson and Steve Pugh will put a modern day spin on Marvel’s super-group that once fought the Nazis. Captain America, Namor, the original Human Torch and Bucky Barnes won’t be taking on the Third Reich and Hydra this time. As Robinson tells Marvel.com the new Invaders will tackle the Kree.

“I wanted a book that put the team very much in the present and in the heart of the Marvel Universe. The Kree fascinate me. They’re everywhere, wrapped up in everything to do with the Marvel Universe, so having that being the first threat where ultimately the team has to invade the Kree homeworld, felt like something fresh that I hadn’t seen before.” Continue reading All-New INVADERS James Robinson Preview

Avengers at War

New Avengers #8 is the final Prelude to Infinity with a cliffhanger that warps right into next month’s big event! But before I get ahead of myself here’s why this book rocks.

Inhumans – I love ’em. There’s an Inhumanity event coming and brand new series by Matt Fraction in 2014 but the Inhumans are front and center in the coming war with Thanos.

The silent Black Bolt finally gets to speak and the revelation with his beloved queen ends with the noise of a painful slap as the King confesses to Medusa. Mike Deodato and Frank Martin’s art on these scenes are spectacular and poignant. Continue reading Avengers at War

New Avengers Showdown!

Mike Deodato will join Jonathan Hickman on the Avengers and New Avengers. After showing off the acclaimed artist’s upcoming work spotlighting Shang-Chi and his teammates in Hong Kong, Marvel shows a showdown that’s been brewing since Avengers vs. X-Men!

When Namor was possessed by the Phoenix Force he led an invasion of Wakanda that devastated the Black Panther’s homeland and people. When Hickman launched New Avengers #1 it was T’Challa gathering a new Illuminati to battle a cosmic threat to Earth.

Check out the cover of New Avengers #7! Namor may have been under the influence of the Phoenix during the Wakanda invasion but the Sub-Mariner has always been and will be an arrogant, quick tempered royal. It looks like the tension between T’Challa and Namor will explode in this issue!

Can Captain America, Iron Man, Doctor Strange keep the peace?

New Avengers #7 arrives in June.
