http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/21823.html I read that writer Gary Friedrich lost his court case to own the Ghost Rider rights. And I’m actually glad how it turned out. He signed away his rights and then complained later cause he wanted a better deal. Reading the following text from the book Ghost Rider The Ultimate Guide. It...
Emma Stone looks adorable as Gwen Stacy. Kristen Dunst was miscast in the original Spider-Man trilogy. She was never pretty enough to play Mary Jane. At least this reboot got and cast the right type of woman for the leading lady. Emma Stone hot, sexy and cute all rolled into one. A shame...
I’ve been following the recent Spider books since the One More Day / Brand New Day storyline and have a feeling of “Why should I care as a long time reader anymore?” If they can erase the Spider marriage and all the strong emotions, connections that brought about. Why should you buy the...
An old post I wrote somewhere else and adding to archive here. Thursday 8 January 2009 @ 3:12 am I’d like to start by saying sure their have been exceptions, and some great Spider-Man comics, and mini-series as a whole. But in general and the overall look of things, I don’t think Spider-Man...
An old post I wrote somewhere else and adding to archive here. Wednesday 16 April 2008 @ 12:11 am MAJOR Spider-Man Spoilers on the Brand New Day comic I just read the Spider-Man comics called One More Day that ended with Amazing Spider-Man issue 545. And YES F’n Marvel Editor in Chief Joe...
I wonder what you think of in regards of Amazing Spider-Man shipping three times a week. With a different creative crew handling chores the next week. Basically, one creative team picking up the story of the team before them. Personally I think it sucks. This so reminds me of the 90′s Superman books....
Avenging Spider-Man #2 in stores December 7, 2011 It’s great to see some comic book work by Joe Madureira again. As always Joe Mad’s style is uniquely his own. His rendition of Spidey is amazing. But check out that Red Hulk. Fantastic, or should I say Incredible?
Anyone else think HAWKEYE in the Avengers Movie looks rather plain? The costume looks boring. The actor looks old. Even the face of the actor looks like a drunk. And there just is no spark to him. Even the Youtube guy who plays Hawkeye on the Avengersweb channel has more of a spark then...

Marvel Comics released the image above. It looks like Bucky as the Winter Soldier will return. I’m actually glad to see this, because I did not like him wearing the Captain America costume. I think he makes for a better Winter Soldier, then he did a Captain America. Plus with the red star,...

The Marvel Select toy line will produce a 7” inch Green Goblin action figure. It looks great! The only downside? It’s a long wait because it’s planned for a next Summer release.
Avenging Spider-Man 1 cover starting November 2011. Avenging Spider-Man 2 cover starting December 2011.
http://www.animationinsider.net/article.php?articleID=2907 How odd the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund which fights for freedom of speech and comic creator rights, bought the comics code seal. Basically the comics code was a censorship tool that restricted creator freedom. Marvel Comics dropped the code about a decade ago, then DC comics dropped it. After that the...
Is the Scarlet Spider, Ben Reilly returning? He was the clone of Peter Parker that started the infamous Clone Saga of the 1990s. A very controversial storyline that had at one point, Peter Parker stated as the clone. And Ben Reilly the real deal. On the end a comic book resurrected Norman Osborn...
Entertainment Weekly on stands Sept. 30, 2011 will have The Avengers Movie on the cover. Plus details about the film. Plus you can clearly see what Captain America’s and Thor’s costumes look like. I guess they are going with a computer graphic Iron Man suit? Like they did in Iron Man 2. One...
http://www.newsarama.com/film/agent-of-style-captain-america-film-110926.html Great link and article about Captain America’s various film costumes. Those early B- no it’s more like C- movies really stunk. They were not even enjoyable enough to laugh at, but rather movies you would rather not be watching. Total press the controller button for the next channel type movies. The other...
In November 2011, Marvel Comics will release Point One. This looks to be one of their massive crossover company line events. And will be a focus of their 2012 books. It also will go back to more grounded in reality type stories. And Ultron appears to be the main villain, as the image...

http://www.newsarama.com/film/thor-movie-annotations-110916.html A great article that discusses the Thor character in terms of historical mythology. And that of the comic book Marvel interpretation. Quite a lot of differences between the two. But I think for most of todays audience the comic book Marvel version is the one they know.
