I haven’t been following the stuff that’s going on at the New York Comic Con, and I haven’t been posting stuff on this blog as often as I’d like, but reading some updates on Newsarama, a few pieces of information caught my eye and I just have to blog about it.
OK, I love apes as much as the next guy, but come on. Marvel Apes? NO. Let’s move on.
So 20th Century Fox is making a Street Fighter movie that focuses on Chun-Li, right? Kristin Kreuk is starring. Yeah. Awesome. I mean, it’s awesome that we’ll get to see her throwing punches and kicking people in the face while being inhumanly pretty, but the awesomeness of the whole movie is an entirely different matter. Let’s take a short look at the other players of the film, shall we?
From MTV Movies:
“Avengers Assemble!” Marvel’s mightiest team join forces to fight foes no single superhero can withstand. But if Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, and Ant-Man thought Count Nefaria or the Krees were formidable – wait’ll they get a load of the Countless Nerds and the Geeks, who will dissect every announcement and decision from the film like it was the word of God.
Bring ‘em on, says “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau, who, not only thinks that “The Avengers” is “a great idea,” but even told MTV News that he might like to direct it.
ITEM! “The Third Kryptonian” is coming! Kurt Busiek will introduce another Kryptonian to the DCU and it looks rather interesting. Technically, this new Kryptonian is the, what, 576th Kryptonian on Earth?
ITEM! The Rock: Captain Marvel or Black Adam? The Great One is currently in discussions to play a role in “Shazam”, and he wants the fans to decided which role he’ll play: the squeaky clean Captain Marvel or the hardcore Black Adam? If you smellllalalalaLOUWWW… what The Rock… is cookin’.
ITEM! The Voices of Marvel remastered! Doug Pratt remastered two Marvel Flexidiscs from the 1960’s. Gee wiz, I love how people talked back then!
ITEM! Comic books on mobile phones! Publishers are currently testing the waters of digital distribution on mobile devices. It’s kind of weird at first, but once you let the idea settle in, you’ll… nah. There’s nothing like “new comic smell” and the sound of flipping the 4-color pages. Interesting initiative, though.
ITEM! “Iron Man” teaser trailer now online! And it was earlier than expected! It’s basically the same piece of video awesomeness that was shown during the San Diego Comic-Con, but I’m not complaining. I nominate it for a Nobel Prize for Awesome.
ITEM! The 20th Annual Harvey Awards ceremony has concluded! Winners include Ed Brubaker for Best Writer, “Daredevil” for Best Continuing or Limited Series, Frank Quitely for Best Artist, and Civil War #1 for Best Single Issue or Sto… wait, WHAT?!
This is where Baddie blogs about comics, pop culture, and other face-rocking things. Also, this is where Dr. Doom shares some of his infinite wisdom, but only when he feels generous. You will only bear witness to Doom's brilliance when Doom commands it! Your face, Baddie and Doom are rocking it!
