Deadline is reporting that Joss Whedon is in final negotiations to direct Marvel’s The Avengers movie.

After yesterday’s look at the state of my DC pulls, it’s Marvel’s turn, what with the new solicits being up and all. And the grand total of ongoing titles I’ll be picking up is…EIGHT – another incredibly low number for me. One of them is Amazing Spider-Man though, so I guess that counts as three [Read More...]
I like comics. I like comics for adults. I like comics for kids. God knows I like comic book villains, and I like comics about comic book villains – but sometimes something comes along that you just feel is…wrong. Due to the fact that there’s spoilers for this week’s Dark Avengers in this post, I’m [Read More...]
At the wake of Hercules, some of his (mainly more recent) conquests opened up about what kind of man he was.
