James Spader Cast as Ultron in Avengers 2!

Marvel wanted to break into the comic news area again after being shadowed by Ben Affleck thing. They decided it was a great time to announce who exactly will be playing the big baddie in Avengers: Age of Ultron. That person is James Spader!

James Spader is best known for being Alan Shore on Boston Legal and The Practice. Couldn't tell you anything about those shows because I'm not realllly sure that I have the right shows in my head. Boston Legal or The West Wing hmmm…never mind..political shows aren't my thing. Although, We geeks know him best as Dr. Dan Jackson from Stargate! Ya!

Ultron is going to be a big villain for the team of returning members and new members of The Avengers. It is a little fuzzy on how Ultron is going to be made without Dr. Hank Pym creating him, since, he won't really get introduced until Phase 3. Only time will tell..

The Avengers: Age of Ultron comes to theaters May 1, 2015

Comic-Con: Avengers Sequel Officially Titled 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' + Logo!

Marvel just dropped a huge bomb! They sneakily entered a quick little trailer into their Hall H presentation for the Avengers sequel! It is officially titled Avengers: Age of Ultron.

This was a huge surprise and greatly loved by anyone who read the crossover series this summer! This is big news for where we will see this series go. We actually might get to see more of Hank Pym before  the Antman movie likely.

The footage was showing a alien temple with a man walking up to it and than some quick footage of The Avengers with lines from the first one. Than we get a shot of Ultron's pretty CGI face! Than bam title pops up to crowd applause.

I can not wait for this!

Thoughts on Marvel using comic story arc for film?

Pick & Pull: April 3, 2013 - Age of Ultron, Thanos Rising, Uber + More!

You know the drill fellow nerdisters (thats a world right?). Pick & Pull time is here and this week is very Marvel sided and independent sided. That isn't a bad thing at all. Marvel has some big stuff going down for the next few months and its all here now and its big. Also, we get a pretty decent sized new series. Check them out!

Highlights:

Age of Ultron #4 - Marvel has quite a big story on their hands with this series and its getting more epic every week. This week has some big turns and will likely start some fan fighting!

Thanos Rising #1 - with Ultron being a major book, why not give other publishers another punch with Thanos? He will have a huge part in Marvels future in comics and movies. We know that. Although, do we know that much about him? I think not. So Marvel has this sweet series to get us better aquatinted with the purple guy.

Uber #0 - I don't like how books do a #0, but this series made up with having a oversized issue that is very nice. All you really need to know is you have supersoliders and WWII.

Abe Sapien #1 - We love Hellboy and the whole universe he is in. We all love Abe. Great Idea give him his own ongoing series. Oh wait! They are doing that this week and it will be awesome!

Action Comics #19 - Here is a DC book that was in need of a lot of help. It has a new creative team behind it that hopefully can turn this forgettable series into a greatness and the first issue is shaping up nicely with them.

Pick & Pull: March 6th, 2013 - Age of Ultron, Superman, Detective Comics, + More

It's that time again fellow brotherhood of Mutants (just kidding we are good kids right? Righhht?). This weeks pick & pull includes a finale to a big arc to a hero, A look at a hero after a big loss in family, and the new age of a villain that has been due to show up sooner or later.

Highlights 

Age of Ultron #1 - This series has been lingering around just waiting to come out with little bits of it being planted even way back in Avengers Vs X-Men series. We are going to see Ultron evolve and try to take over the earth and destroy humanity as we know it. Pretty exciting I know. The only people that can stop it is just about everyone in the Marvel universe take down this thing in a massive 10 part series.

Detective Comics #18 - Batman will be taking on a huge foe we all know is pretty crazy awesome. The Penguin. Batman just went through a very traumatizing time losing his one and only son and what better way to go rage crazy than take it out on Gotham scum. We will start to see how the death is affecting Bruce on a very personal level in this issue.

Superman #18 - The final issue in the "H'EL On Earth" story arc and it is a doozy. To win the final fight with H'EL, one of the members must make a fatale sacrifice to stop it. Some s@#$ goes down in this issue that will have repercussions.

Batman: Gotham By Gaslight (TB) - This is kind of a extra little thing I added that I think any Batman fan would love. This is the collection of an amazing elseworlds series that has Batman pitted against Jack The Ripper in a crazy battle in Gotham in the 1800s. Sounds cool, thats because it is.

More next week
