Marvel NEWS! AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

Marvel released a bunch of new posters through their facebook page for their upcoming The Avengers by Joss Whedon.
Below, after the jump...
Here's all the characters posters, which all seem to focuse on a different character, while also keeping a 2nd one in the frame:

What's more to say about this?
Maria Hill's there!
Cap's new costume looks great!

I like these. It's like we're circling around the characters in the city street/in the middle of battle/during a crisis. Which sort of reminds me of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon intro. Which is great btw!

RabbidsTV - Captain BWAmerica!!

Here's another short, this one for the release of Raving Rabbids: Alive & Kicking.

"There is one Raving Rabbid that is answering the call of justice and cleaning up the streets."

Enjoy this epic video:

Comics NEWS! Marvel's "Avengers Art Appreciation" month

Remember DC's Iconic month last year? Here's Marvel turn to reveal a thematic month. (though honestly, they do that a lot...)

Marvel Comics will be having lots of variant covers showcasing the Avengers in different artistic styles.
I usually don't like variant covers much... I think they drown the comic book market in an unnecessary over-saturation of books and I'd prefer these covers were related to the content of the books. (I mean why an Avengers variant for, say, the Fantastic Four? why? just to sell some more issues to people that weren't gonna buy that book in the first pace? so commercial... anyways..)

They'll be either representations of the Avengers under different artists own personal styles or through Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Monet-like interpretations.
A sort of depiction of what the Avengers would have looked like "throughout the ages".

Here's all of them, enjoy:

RIP Joe Simon

.

Today, another comic book legend passed away...
The more time passes, the more our connection to the Golden Age gets thinner...

Comic book legend Joe Simon died at 98.
He was actually the co-creator of Captain America and the first Marvel Comic Editor-in-chief.
He also worked at the concurrence, mostly on Superman titles.
He helped launch characters like Boy Commandos, Manhunter, Sand the Golden Boy, Newsboy Legion and Manhunter. He is considered a pioneer of both horror and romance comic books.

RIP Mister Simon. :(

Marvel NEWS! AVENGERS Trailer is out!

AWESOME!! Finally!
The trailer for the upcoming live Avengers movies just went out not long ago, on Apple's website and now on youtube already!
Here it is in all its full glory, enjoy!



Woah! Gotta hand it to Whedon!
I didn't believe it could work at first, but it looks like we'll actually have the Avengers, live, in full motion and spirit and due form!
Can't hardly wait!!

Movie NEWS! THE AVENGERS pose!

Here's a bunch of pictures from the upcoming live Avengers movie.
And yes, "that guy that isn't Hawkeye" is Bruce Banner....
So here's a bunch portraits of our heroes...

Iron Man.
Most popular of the bunch, thanks to some pretty darn' good movies.

Bruce Banner. (Hulk)

Oh no... we lost Ed Norton for this schmuck? Really?

The Black Widow.

Captain America.

Thor.
Thou shall not disrespect thee gods!!!

Hawkeye.
Guy had random cameo in Thor, now looks like this earned him a spot on the cast.
(plus having a lesser profile non-main starring in his own movie-character will help keep the budget manageable)

Here's the whole happy crew.

And here's some shots from the making of the flick:

Alright then.
Looks like everyone's having a blast!

This better turn out good!....

Movie NEWS! More shots from The Avengers movie

And here's more pictures from the making of The Avengers live movie!

Looks like they're all having a blast making it!
Loki's there too? Ooooh!

It kinda looks silly, without the movie's photography and no effects/filters, but I'm getting a sense that the Avengers are actually coming to life finally!

ComicPanelsOfTheWeek: The Taskmaster Vs. The Avengers!!

Okay... he doesn't really defeat them that much, as it looks more like he runs away from them.
But better free than captured, am I right? Flee to fight another day!

Goes to show the Taskmaster isn't simply a C-listener, and he's more one of the few "guys" of the Marvel U than is able to hold his own against some of The Avengers themselves!

Marvel NEWS! Avengers promo materials

Here's a couple new promo posters for Joss Whedon's upcoming live take on The Avengers!

And even Sam Jackson's Nick Fury gets his own solo ad:

Are you feeling the Avengers finally coming up to life?

Movie NEWS! First shots from The Avengers movie

Here's some shots from the making of Joss Whedon's The Avengers!

The movie's coming out in May 4, 2012, so at this point it's still early in development.

Here's various pics from a scene they're filming in the streets.
Cap fighting some baddies (?).

The costume, different from Captain America's own movie.
It's a lot more modern looking. What d'you think?

Is this guy above wearing a Green Lantern shirt? XD

Motion capture. Cap's gonna face some CGi creature?

People have speculated he's facing Skrulls, from the look of the scifi gun above.

And that is all~
