MARVEL NOW 2 Officially Announced with Avengers, Inhumans and Invaders

Marvel Comics has just released their opening salvo for the second wave of Marvel Now titles coming our way starting December. These include familiar faces with new creative teams. 

So yes, James Robinson has jumped aboard the Marvel ship and I'm really hoping he kicks ass with this new title featuring unlikely allies Captain America, the Original Human Torch (Jim Hammond), Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier and Namor.

Then there's also AVENGERS # 24 which kicks off a brand new story arc entitled ROGUE PLANET which sees Cap and Iron Man creating a new Avengers team to stop a runaway train-esque planet from colliding with Earth. Even awesome is the fact that they have Esad Ribic as artist.

Finally, the most obvious title that will be coming out for the second wave of Marvel Now titles, INHUMANS by Matt Fraction and Joe Madureira. Guess we have to track down INFINITY closely to understand the story.

Oh and let's not forget about the in-betweener book INHUMANITY which just had it's first cover revealed a few days ago.

Marvel Comics Teases Joe Madureira art for Inhuman

Marvel teases us with the cover for Matt Fraction's "Inhuman" done by Joe Madureira.

Meanwhile, here's the entire cover for the said art:

Accompanying text for the art: "It’s a chance to spray everybody with supersoldier serum and see what happens," Fraction told PopWatch of the premise, which finds the entire planet somehow exposed to the Inhumans' powers-granting Terrigen Mists. "Did you know that you had a king? Did you know that you had a secret genetic lineage? Oh, and by the way, now you have horns, and someone’s coming to kill you!"

Joe Madureira and Zeb Wells Locked in Wolverine/Spider-Man Project

Details are still sketchy but Marvel Comics has announced that original Avenging Spider-Man creative team Zeb Wells and Joe Madureira will be returning once again to do a Wolverine and Spider-Man story.

Rumor has it that the project includes a third wheel, Elektra, but that was so long ago. Maybe things have changed and it's just the Canucklehead and the wall crawler that'll star in this new project. Elektra after all is busy kissing the Punisher in the relaunched Thunderbolts.

REVIEW: Darksiders II

Reviewing Darksiders II from THQ...

Real quick here since I just picked up the game for the Xbox 360. I'm breaking down this review into segments which would be based on the elements on the game.

In this sequel we take on the role of Death who is on the mission to save his brother War from punishment after the events of the first Darksiders game. His plan is to resurrect the human race to erase his brother's "crimes".
