2014 Marvel Comics Event Centers on Death of Uatu the Watcher - Original Sin

Jason Aaron and Mike Deodato Jr. will be up next to bat for the Marvel Comics event book for 2014 entitled "Original Sin"

CBR reports that this is going to be thematically different from past events mainly because its a murder mystery. The original Nick Fury will show up once again (last seen in Age of Ultron) and acts as detective. The report goes on with naming the main characters for the story who will be joining Fury in solving the murder:

Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, The Punisher, Emma Frost, Ant Man, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther. (the last three kinda reminds me of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's assumed phase 4 movies)

In the span of four months, we'll be seeing how this occured and the massive fallout. Remember, The Watcher keeps track of everything everybody in the 616 does, which will lead in to ORIGINAL SIN # 0 by Mark Waid and Jim Cheung.

And it seems that this went under the radar because the first legit teaser came out in November 2013 in the form of a postcard from the House of Ideas.

Empire has Captain America: The Winter Soldier in it's Cover

Empire Magazine must be feeling really proud what with the reveal of who they have on the cover of their next issue. It's none other than Marvel Studios' next superhero flick - Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

The film will be coming out next year and will star Chris Evans who reprises his role as Captain America together with fellow Avenger Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) with Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier and Anthony Mackie who plays Sam Wilson aka The Falcon.

This is coming out 2014 together with another great Marvel movie, Guardians of the Galaxy.

Uncanny Avengers # 14 Spoilers - Two Deaths

Ugh. Marvel had to stick with the classic make great characters dead and while this definitely proves that the rumors are true, it leaves a bad taste especially for fans of these two characters.

OK time for the ever classic SPOILER ALERT

So what happens here is the team is split into different parts of the Apocalypse Twin's ship. Wolverine was taken out by the his son Daken who was revived as a Horseman. Thor is in another area battling the resurrected Sentry (whom he killed at the end of SIEGE). Wanda (Scarlet Witch) is together with Wonder Man hatching a plan under the watchful eye of Simon's brother the Grim Reaper. 

Captain America and Havok are fighting Banshee with The Wasp. It's really only Rogue and Sunfire that's walking freely and they plan on murdering their teammate Scarlet Witch to save mutantkind and the rest of the world.

That's a lot to take and we're not even in the actual issue. Issue 14 climaxes with the scene where Rogue stabs Wanda. 

Shiro and Simon are fighting when Wanda drops...

Rogue versus Grim Reaper round 2

She gets impaled by Reaper's scythe, something that should not have happened if Rogue still retained a bit of Miss Marvel's invincibility, well to some extent anyway... 

I feel sad for Wolverine at this point because not only does he have to hurt/kill/maim his son again (which he killed during 'Final Execution', he also has to witness the eventual death of Rogue. And try as he may to get her off the Reaper's scythe, it's really no use. 

Wanda completes the spell and with that Wonder Man also disappears into thin air, since he effectively has been unmade by the Scarlet Witch. 

Dammit Rick Remender. Too much feels. 

The First Trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier Now Streaming

Check out the first official trailer for Marvel Studios' Captain America: The Winter Soldier starring Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, the star spangled Avenger, Captain America.

Here's the trailer:

Post by Thefanboyseo.

This trailer is all about the marquee elements from this sequel. So we've got explosions, a hot chick, a mysterious villain, an old geezer who might not be who he says he is and fucking Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury again.

There are some bits of interesting stuff I've seen in the trailer:

Who's being operated on. Two guesses, it could be Nick Fury or Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson aka The Falcon.

How did Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) end up in a pretty bad shape? Could this be Philadelphia???

Mackie's Falcon really needs more red...

And that ending with Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) doing this...

is just too damn awesome... 

I'm already making gifs. 

Captain America: The Winter Soldier will be released locally on April 4, 2014 distributed by Walt Disney Studios Philippines thru Columbia Pictures.

Deadpool # 18 Spoilers

So after teaming up with Wolverine and Captain America (really, to just boost sales), Deadpool and the North Korean X-Men Clones get back at the people that hurt them.

And if you're wondering what the North Korean X-Men team looks like, here they are running with Wolverine and a very exhausted Deadpool.

Some of the members of this faux X-Men are killed in battle with their Nightcrawler surviving (and gets to see his wife too). Deadpool on the other hand is hopeful that he gets reunited with the daughter he never knew he had plus the mother Carm.

Logan tries to dissuade Wade Wilson from looking for his wife and daughter but Wade goes on anyway. Then the most heartbreaking part.







Poor Wade. I've never seen him in such a sad state. Even the second and third voice in his head were pretty quiet.

Deadpool # 18 folks by Brian Posehn, Gerry Duggan, Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire.

INFINITY # 4 SPOILERS

SPOILER ALERT!

Here's a couple of things that were pretty interesting from INFINITY # 4 by Jonathan Hickman, Jerome Opena and Dustin Weaver.

So over in the ruins of Attilan, Thanos and Blackbolt resume their fight. Of course Thanos figures out that the first scream that Black Bolt released was also used to detonate the terrigen mist bomb across Earth.

Yes it actually sucked that Thanos beats Black Bolt in one-on-one combat.

In another part of the world, in that hidden Inhuman settlement, we meet Thane, in his 'human' form.

Sadly, that's all shortlived as the Terrigen Mist wave coming from the explosion in Attilan heads their way and transforms everybody, Thane included.



Thane emerges in a new form, one that looks a lot like his dear old dad.

Meanwhile in Space, particularly in the Kree homeworld of Hala, Captain America sends in his emissary after surrendering to the conquering Builder. Unfortunately for the Builder, Cap sends the one who controls the thunder and the one who's coming out with a movie on October 30... THOR...

Thor shows that he surrenders by hurling his hammer Mjolnir into space and then gets slapped in the face by that obnoxious, little prawn Builder.

So while the Builder is doing his litany AND preparing to kill Thor, Mjolnir has already made a full circle and is hurtling back to it's owner.

And then Thor proceeds to bring the hammer down, so to speak...

He then delivers the killing blow to the arrogant little Builder...



And spouts something, the Bay-verse Optimus Prime would say. Oh and then he poses with the hammer bearing Accusers of Hala including Ronan the Accuser...

Thing suddenly went from INTERESTING to VERY INTERESTING...

New Teasers for Marvel Now 2 and She-Hulk Ongoing Announcement

Looks like things will be a little bit more exciting with some additional titles from Marvel Comics' stable including a Charles Soule written She-Hulk ongoing.

Jennifer Walters and She-Hulk will be making the rounds again this time under the helm of writer and real-life lawyer Charles Soule. Her previous appearance was masterminded by now Superior Spider-Man scribe Dan Slott.

Hopefully this is as good as the Slott era Shulkie so that we could at least it would be entertaining. She-Hulk comes out February 2014.

Teasers this week which will lead to full blown announcements next week in New York Comic Con (NYCC) include the following:

CORPORATE

People believe that this either be a new volume of X-Factor since it's got Peter David. Corporate could also be a new "Heroes for Hire" which is a more upgraded version of the street level superheroics of Danny Rand and Luke Cage. The third option could be an going focusing on X-Corporation, a concept which was pretty interesting during the Grant Morrison era "New X-Men".

RAD!

Rad has Dan Slott with Mike Allred and has strong allusions to Silver Surfer thanks to the motiff of the logo as well as the play on the Surfer's real name which is "Norin Radd". Whether this is going to be an ongoing or an arc we have yet to see.

MINDBUBBLE

This one is a dead giveaway. It's going to be appearing in Rick Remender's Captain America book. The character is an answer to the failed Super Soldier Nuke who's also set to make an appearance in the book. The more interesting bit is that Remender will be pitting Cap against various Super Soldiers of the Weapon Minus program.

INFINITY # 3 Review - Minor Spoilers

Reviewing Infinity # 3 by Jonathan Hickman, Jerome Opena and Dustin Weaver.

This week's INFINITY # 3 shows us that Captain America is still the baddest mofo in the Universe and that having no powers do not mean he can't beat battles with powerful enemies like The Builders. It's also a prelude of bigger things coming down with the Inhumans.

Hickman plays the galactic opera very well with a badly beaten Galactic Council turning tail and leaving behind only a handful of troops. Luckily for readers it happens to be Earth's Mightiest Heroes, The Avengers led by Captain America. 

I like the dichotomy of this issue. One side we see a victory on the space front led by Captain America and on the other side of the playing field we see a kingdom crumble partly due to that supreme a-hole Thanos. 

So far, I'm impressed with how Hickman is handling Infinity. Issue 3 is a great addition to the list of good products that Marvel Comics has released in the past few months. There's this elegance and grandness in terms of scope and he yet he micromanages everything to make it cohesive. 

Opena and Weaver's art was fantastic. Opena is a monster when it comes to doing xenomorphic creatures and weird spacecrafts. Plus he pulled off something fantastic in my book. He managed to make Captain America look so cool barking orders at his team.

Weaver's work was excellent here, on equal footing with Opena's work actually. That guy can convey emotions with his art such as the madness in Maximus the Mad's eyes, the worry in Queen Medusa's face and Black Bolt's adamant stance vs Thanos.

Go pick up INFINITY # 3, you'll be happy you did. 

An Infographic for Marvel Characters Connection

Ever wondered how many connections Spider-Man has to the Avengers before officially joining the team in New Avengers # 1 or which X-Man has the least ties to guys like Thor or The Incredible Hulk. This infographic might just provide the answers to your questions.

Note: The graphic is fricking huge and long. I was looking for a hi-res version but this is as hi-res as it can be given the time on my hands. Still it's an enjoyable piece of information.
