Okay, okay, I know I still haven’t finished my Go-Beerkada: The Rise Of The Jhologs review yet, but this piece of news caught my eye and I really can’t resist blogging about it.
So, over at Marvel, the X-Books are preparing for this big event called X Necrosha. Here’s the solicitation for the one shot that’ll kick off the crossover, helpfully provided by IGN:
Death has come to the X-Men. The one true Black Queen has returned, and she wants nothing less than every soul of mutantkind…dead or alive. And everyone that’s ever crossed Selene is going to pay. The dead rise, familiar faces haunt mutants across the world, and Selene takes her final steps into becoming a god.
It all begins here in a full-length X-FORCE extravaganza, and continues in the pages of next month’s issue of X-FORCE…but the shockwaves of this terrifying event will be felt in NEW MUTANTS and X-MEN: LEGACY as well, and those reverberations begin here in two all-new bonus tales.
… really, Marvel? I love zombies and all, but… what the flying fuck?

I know you people have been holding your breath for the longest time for this, but those looking for a grand reunion of the Avengers might see what they’re looking for in Marvel’s new four-issue event, called The Siege.
Written by Brian Michael Bendis and art by Olivier Coipel, The Siege spells the end of Norman Osborn’s Dark Reign. According to Bendis, the reunion of the big three (Iron Man, Captain America and Thor) is very instrumental to the end of Dark Reign. It’s a “seismic shift in the Avengers books” akin to that of Avengers Disassembled. Read the rest of this entry »

Okay, the Archie universe is beginning to be as convoluted as DC and Marvel.
According to Canada.com (lol), Archie’s married adventures in the future are far from over.
Back in May, it was revealed Archie would finally ditch his wishy-washy Riverdale High School persona and get hitched. The pronouncement caused a huge media buzz and led to editorial columns debating the virtues of marrying the pleasant, blond Betty versus hooking up with Veronica, the often-bad-tempered brunette.
Well, it seems the redhead with the checkerboard hair is living some sort of a six-part dreamlike existence in which he is walking down a road called Memory Lane. In the first scenario, released in an edition last month, Archie walks toward a fork in the road and turns left, allowing him to see his life after a marriage to Veronica. This time, he walks to the right and envisions a future with Betty as his bride. In each sequence, Archie ends up with twins.
Also, from NY Times:
This alternative future will be a relief to the fans who reacted negatively to the marriage to Veronica. “The polls that I’ve seen ran about 80/20, Betty over Veronica, with Jughead continually coming in a strong third,” said Mr. Uslan, a comic-book historian.
LOL.
Ok, so now that Archie Comics have introduced the concept of alternate timelines in their universe, epic major crossover anyone?
Know what I think? I think Archie Comics should’ve just stuck to their guns with the Archie-Ronnie marriage and came up with a married Archie spinoff. Now that’s something I would want to read.
And if they feel that they can’t get Archie out of the marriage without aging him, there’s always Mephisto.
P.S. I fear that Archie comics may jump the shark after all of this.

Comicgasm facts!
Posted in Bloggy stuff, Blogpeoples, Local, MISC, Real Life stuff, WTF, filler, gademitApparently we made it into the finals of the Philippine Blog Awards 2009 <– Click here to see us in the list!
While I honestly don’t EXPECT us to win, I do HOPE!
Such is me in my blue lantern shirt:
But hope isn’t enough of course! Comicgasm would have never made it into the finals if it weren’t for us being awesome in one way or another. We sure ain’t gonna win if we just sit back and scratch our balls while staring at the sky as w usually do. Sure we delay posts 80% of the time – but really, what made us into the finals I wonder?
So I sought to describe Comicgasm and I learned that we are awesome because of a few things that we are. Some of these are essential truths that make up the fabric of the universe itself and cannot be defied! Deny them at your own cost.
COMICGASM FACTS:
-The name of Comicgasm was derived from two words: comics and orgasm. Therefore, whenever we post, someone has an orgasm.
-Contrary to popular belief, there is explicit nudity & visual sex scenes in DC, Marvel & Archie comics. Comicgasm simply chooses to keep those pages to ourselves. (See Justice League: Cry for Justice #2 and Archie #601)
- It is a well known fact that only three organisms in the world have pleasure when they have sex: Man, dolphins & Comicgasm.
- When Darkseid hits you with his Omega ray, you don’t die. You just Comicgasm.
- Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice – but only because he was trying to measure the amount of testosterone in Comicgasm.
- Superboy-Prime thought Comicgasm was stupid. Therefore the Legion of Three Worlds exists.
- DC & Marvel once disapproved a superhero idea inspired by Comicgasm’s awesome claiming the character was too powerful. Instead it was turned into a joke. We now know this as the Chuck Norris Facts.
- The modern Marvel comic book series no longer mentions the Infinity Gems. This is because Comicgasm has paid Marvel not to reveal where we get our awesome.
- Disney bought Marvel so they can finally have enough money to pay Comicgasm for Walt Disney’s cryogenically frozen body.
- The Nick Fury character was based on Samuel L. Jackson. The Samuel L. Jackson character was based on Comicgasm.
- The Green Lanterns recite an oath from the guardians. The Guardians recite an oath from Comicgasm.
- Comicgasm confronts the Guardians of the Universe with a Poke’ball and shouts “I choose you!”
- A member of Comicgasm has in fact met, sat down and chatted with Neil Gaiman – without knowing who he was. (and got him addicted to calamansi juice – see proof here.)
- When Alan Moore once got writer’s block in coming up with a character for his novel, he read Comicgasm. Inspired he created Dr. Manhattan.
- Comicgasm designed the costumes of Power Girl & Black Canary and hates the design of Wonder Woman’s costume – saying it ain’t revealing enough.
- When the Hulk gets angry, he gets bigger. When Comicgasm gets horny, he gets BIGGER.
- Comicgasm was supposed to be superhero – but we refused to wear spandex. Not because we don’t like spandex, but because we ALWAYS have a hard-on.
- Comicgasm won a hard-on contest with The Thing.
- Comicgasm won a staring contest with Daredevil.
- Comicgasm has retractable claws but no healing factor. We don’t need it. We like bleeding awesome.
- Comicgasm owns Dominic Ochoa’s long lost twin brother.
AND THAT’S IT. I finally know what lead us to this place so far!
If you have any more Comicgasm facts, pls pls COMMENT! XD

To quote this article from ComingSoon.net:
“Samuel L. Jackson has buried the hatchet with Marvel Entertainment, making a deal to play the role of Nick Fury in Iron Man 2, and potentially many other films.
Jackson’s deal is a long-term commitment to play Fury, the leader of the espionage unit S.H.I.E.L.D. His deal contains an option to play the character in nine future Marvel superhero films, efforts that are expected to include The First Avenger: Captain America, Thor, The Avengers, toplining a possible S.H.I.E.L.D. movie, and potential sequels.”
What say gentlement? Is this awesome news or what? HELL YEAH!

YES! My first post after a hiatus and my first Marvel related post at the same time. Looking at the current Disney buying Marvel context, I wonder if the 2011 movie Hands of Shang Chi will have Disney’s say on it? Read the rest of this entry »

First, I don’t know what to think. On one hand I’m like “YAY NOW WE’RE SURE THAT MARVEL WILL NEVER GO BANKRUPT ALSO HOWARD THE DUCK AND DONALD DUCK CROSSOVER OMFG WHAT ABOUT A SILVER SURFER PIXAR MOVIE.”
But now, we’re not too sure if Disney also gets creative control over Marvel’s output (God, I hope not). I mean, Disney would never let Grant Morrison’s New X-Men see print.
I hope we don’t see Marvel’s output Disney-fied for a family audience. Really. Disney, don’t ruin it for us nerds.
Also, I’m serious about that Howard the Duck/Donald Duck crossover. Make it happen, Marvel/Disney.

Delayed Review: Ultimate Comics Avengers #1, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1
Posted in Marvel, Reviews, Ultimate ComicsHey there sports fans. This is Ade, and I’ve finally found the time to sit down and review some comics for you guys. I noticed that DC’s getting massive coverage in this here blog (and it shouldn’t be a surprise, really, considering three out of three editors here are big DC fans).
So I’m going to make it a point to review as many Marvel Comics here as humanly possible. And this week, I’m going to review the two Ultimate Comics that came out this week.
You see, these comics are peculiar. The Ultimate line, after that godawful crossover called Ultimatum (the less said about it the better, really), has been rebranded as “Ultimate Comics.” Personally, I find the rebranding a bit weird, but I can’t really put my finger on it.
Anyway, we’re not here to discuss the merits of Marvel’s latest rebranding effort. We’re here to talk about comics!
Ultimate Comics Avengers #1
Before anything else, why is Thor black and bald now? Read the rest of this entry »

Yes, the internet is buzzing with all sorts of praise for Geoff Johns’ epic masterpiece, Blackest Night. Imagine the amount of money DC has been raking in. So it’s really so surprise that Marvel is going to get into the act as well.

Seriously, this is mind-blowing bullshit.

Also, if you haven’t figured it out yet, this is a spoof by the always-awesome theblast on Tumblr. But it’s so awesome we can only wish it was true. Also, I don’t know which comics to review this week since Fiel has dibs on GL and RJ’s MIA and I dunno what he wants to review. And I’m lazy to write my MCC post.

Guys. Just when I thought I was finished gushing over the Iron Man anime, Marvel pulls another fast one on us. I mean, come on guys, when will you stop blowing our brains out with awesome?
OMG *squee* YOU GUYS.
Okay, that Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow movie sucked on so many levels (even though Bim liked it) I refuse to elaborate on it any further, but Planet Hulk I am sure to watch. How can they make Hulk punching aliens in the face suck? Please tell me you’re going to make World War Hulk, Civil War and Secret Invasion next. Pretty please?
