Wolverine Sequel to Start Shooting In 2011?

During a backstage interview at The People’s Choice Awards, Hugh Jackman was feeling chatty about the future of the Wolverine franchise. “Wolverine's going to be back. He's going to Japan. We shoot that probably in a year, year-and-a-half, something like that.” said Jackman. Once again referencing the classic Chris Claremont and Frank Miller story of Wolverine’s time in Japan, Jackman also stated that we would see Wolverine fight in a way we haven’t before. Having made his way to Asia (Madripoor...

Comic Reviews for X-Men Forever #13 & 14, New Avengers Annual #3, Dante’s Inferno #1

NEW AVENGERS ANNUAL #3 - Finally we get to see how the heck Ronin manages to get freed after being captured in his attempt to kill Norman Osborn. Finally. Looking at you Marvel editors. Osborn is actually pleased to have Clint in his grasp, hoping to learn where New Avengers HQ is located. Mockingbird wakes up to find Clint gone and sends Ms. Marvel to scout Avengers Tower - which is completely locked down top-to-bottom.

Comic Reviews of Captain America Reborn #5, GL Corps #43, Mighty Avengers #32 & Daredevil #503

CAPTAIN AMERICA REBORN #5 - By now, every Marvel reader knows Steve Rogers is back - already having appeared in Fall of the Hulks, Who Will Wield the Shield?, Dark Avengers Annual and the list goes on. This is another example of Marvel editors not communicating very well. However, that does stop this from being an incredible issue. The Red Skull had succeeded in supplanting Steve Rogers’ personality with his own… effectively taking over Captain America’s body. Cap-Bucky, Black Widow, Ronin, ...

Reviews of Thor #604, Iron Man #20 & 21 and Fall of the Hulks Alpha and Gamma

THOR #604 - We finally get to see Thor kicking some major villain booty! The Lady Kelda (last seen in Thor Giant Sized Finale…) means to avenge the death of her love, William, by the hands of Dr. Doom’s Asgardian cyborg minions. When she confronts Doom, he quickly and easily dispatches her by ripping out her heart to use in his continued experiments. Loki wisely throws himself at Baldar’s mercy as he prepares to confront Doom with the rest of the Asgardian warriors. Doom sends his new creations ...

Reviews of Dark Avengers Annual, Echo #17, The Boys #37 & Siege: The Cabal

Rating System: 0 to 1.5 stars = save your money unless you are just mindlessly collecting the title. 2 to 3.5 = worth a shot if you are up to trying something new or wanting to get back into a title. 4 to 5 = a must buy for any comic reader. THE BOYS #37 - I guess we can consider these issues down time for the team as Wee Hughie talks to each member about their past and how they came to join Billy Butcher’s team. The last two issues showed us the origins of Mother’s Milk (holy $h!t - you have...

Will Hawkeye be in Marvel’s Thor Movie?

The rumors have really started to fly about who will play Hawkeye in the upcoming Avengers movie. Not only that, but the rumor-mill has said that Hawkeye will get the Nick Fury treatment in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor. Jeremy Renner (Hurt Locker) won’t play Captain America as previous rumors suggested, but thinks Hawkeye would be “interesting.” In an interview with Empire Online, Renner had this to say: "I don't know if I'd be right for Captain America," he said. "I met with the Marvel guys, actuall...

TERRY MOORE’S ECHO #16 - I imagine Mr. Moore took some time off to count his money from selling the movie rights to Echo, but never fear!
