Whedon confirmed for avengers 2 and some avengers universe tv show for abc. Sweet!!

Fuck yes fuck yes fuck yes.

Now - LET HIM WORK ON GUARDIANS. A space hopping group of outcasts? Whedon for sure.

Well there is a Guardians of the Galaxy movie that's supposed to tie in with Avengers 2 so....

That doesn't guarantee his involvement, though I am all for just letting him oversee macro-arcs of the MCU.

...And they're all for it too:

Not only is Whedon doing Avengers 2, he signed a 3yr contract that makes him overseer of the MCU's entire Phase 2 development.

Brian Posehn, comedian from the Sarah Silverman Show, is taking the writing lead on the new Deadpool MarvelNOW! series. Interesting news.....

Fuck yeah Joss Whedon

Meh... even the new Deadpool is a question mark... only for Deadpool I'm getting it, but very weary.... but besides that.. no thank you. Might trade wait Remender and Hickman stuff... if Slott leaves ASM and it isn't Bendis... or somebody who knows Peter, count me out.

Once Morrison is done with Batman and Supes... damn my interest is dropping like flies.

They'd be pretty crazy to take slott off of spiderman

Go to Marvel.com for some "huge" announcement at 3pm today.

Where did you get that info from?

from Marvels facebook page.

Join Marvel for a major announcement at 3 PM ET on Tuesday, August 13!

Good luck announcing anything on Tuesday, August 13th.

hah yes that was made fun of in the comments section on FB.

August 13th is a Tuesday next year.

13 minutes until our minds are blown. Everyone get their Sea World Splash Zone ponchos on!!!!!

Meh I feel let down so far. Simply a new creative team for Journey Into Mystery...a book I have never read.


Just read one: Still Meh.

A creative team I've never even heard of.

This is shit.

I blame you, Schlomey.

Daredevil is going back to Marvel. Fox will focus on Fantastic Four. Also... this means Galactus and Silver Surfer remains at Fox.

Pretty cool. I hope they actually make a really intense dark movie from this.

Did anybody see that director's cut of Daredevil? It's supposed to be 'better'.

It's a bit more violent and a bit better, but it still feels like a made for TV movie to me.

Joe Carnahan put together a reel to show what his vision of Daredevil would've been like. He didn't shoot anything, it's more to convey the general tone he would've went for, but damn, I would see this flick.

That's pretty cool, it would be awesome to see Daredevil take place either in the 70's or 90's. He should be an urban myth like Batman.. ect

I don't.

Last thing Fantastic Four should be, is dark.

I assume he meant Daredevil.

Ah, okay then.

Carry on.

Finally getting around to starting the Ed Brubaker Captain America first 25. Read the first one and I'm hooked. He is amazing.

Reminded me of Taxi Driver.
fucking awesome.

Yeah, I own all of the trades all the way up to the 3rd volume of Death of Captain America.

If you like that, you should read Brubaker's Daredevil, and Immortal Iron Fist. Both are fantastic.

I've still not finished his Daredevil run, or gotten much beyond Death of Captain America. I really need to get caught up.

Daredevil was added to the list but I have such a backlog it's insane! Thanks!

Pretty much anything Brubaker writes is fantastic.

That is one thing I am TRYING to figure out. People all the time (on the internet of course) are talking about how a certain writer joining a certain release will kill it/ make it better /etc....I'm trying to figure out who is good...who people hate...why...etc.

I don't think I can honestly say I hate many writers.

Although I'm not big on Chris Claremont, mainly for how he fucked up Exiles.

So with Daredevil going back to Marvel...that mean we also get Kingpin, Bullseye, and Electra?

Yes.

A nice way to know is to see who appeared in the last movie, they're all apart of the deal. Fox could have had The Hand fighting Wolverine if they wanted to.

Elektra had a movie in 2005, though. So not sure if Fox could keep the rights for her for a bit longer. They really have no reason to unless they just want to play spoilsport.

I meant that scenario could have happened in the past, Elektra's going home with all the DD gang.

Sixx could be happy that The Kingpin will be as caucasian as his shallow standards are okay with.
