Hi, my name is Ade and this is the Super Bowl XLVI extended trailer for the upcoming Avengers movie, directed by Joss Whedon.

OH. MY. GOD.

I haven’t seen Captain America: The First Avenger yet, but I didn’t care if I spoiled myself a bit to watch the final scene. Which, as every comic book movie fan worth their salt should already know, is the trailer for the Avengers movie directed by Joss Motherfuckin’ Whedon.

Watch it here, if you don’t mind spoilers:

Damn. I am SO stoked. What do you think?

Wow, I had forgotten how much fun it is to spend an entire day just reading comics and celebrating 4/20. Doesn’t change the fact that almost every book released this week is NUTTY. What the hell, *insert publisher here*?

Case in point: Barbara Gordon making a NEW internet.

This is what I get for reading Batgirl.

Let’s start with GL #65 and GLC #59:

Yeah, okay. We knew the palette swap would happen sooner or later, it was inevitable. Yes, it was kinda stupid. This whole arc is kinda stupid. Hell, everything since Brightest Day is kinda stupid. Wait, what am I talking about again?

I think it’s no secret that I totally hated Hal Jordan’s costume for the Green Lantern movie. Seriously, look at it. It’s like they stuck a huge pile of moldy bacon all over Ryan Reynolds. I know it’s meant to be alien-looking and all, but it’s been a few months already and I still can’t get myself into liking it. Now they’ve revealed how the movie Power Battery looks like and it’s still very, very alien-looking and all – in fact, it’s a huge departure from the way it looks like in the comics – but here’s the thing: I actually like it. Huh.

To be honest, I don’t like the alien glyphs going all around the sides of the power battery – how Matrix can you get, really? – but I like the basic design well enough. It looks alien, which is pretty much the underlying theme in all of the Green Lantern designs we’ve seen so far. I can live with it. I hope this is how Hal Jordan’s CGI costume ends up, because it will destroy some mean shit. (continue reading…)

So Fred Van Lente is going to write a new Avengers series to add to the current batch of Avenger titles that are going out monthly. Seriously, Avengers, New Avengers, Secret Avengers (which is awesome), Avengers Prime (which would be awesome if Tony Stark stopped acting like a man-child) and Mighty Avengers – it’s like the X-Men, you guys.

It was speculated that Fred Van Lente’s going to write a “Space Avengers” book, led by Nova – and we all know how awesome that would sound. But then Marvel actually took an interesting, albeit head-scratching decision, to make Dead Avengers.

Basically, the three-issue Chaos War tie-in sees The Vision, Captain Mar-Vell, Yellowjacket, Swordsman, Deathcry and Dr. Druid back to life as they fight one of the Chaos king’s allies, who is an Avengers villain.

Okay, the timing of this book couldn’t be more terrible because at DC, Geoff Johns and company is rolling out the uneven Brightest Day, which has a similar concept – heroes coming back to life. Which is a shame, though, because I’m pretty sure Marvel can outdo DC in this.

All in all, Dead Avengers looks like it’s going to be a fun book – I mean dead non-zombie heroes come the fuck on – but I’m wondering why they had to put out this series now.
