Well, that didn’t take long…

If you surf the interwebz, you must know by now that the Thor trailer from SDCC has been leaked online (courtesy of Comicbookmovie.com). Catch it while it’s still up!

Definitely has a lot of the Jack Kirby influence. My only fear is that this seemed to reveal a bit too much, which can lead one to believe that these could be the only good parts of the flick. We’ll have to see when it comes out next May.

Thoughts, true believers?

What the heck has happened this last week and a half that has made comics so unbelievably good? Between a big movie just out, another big movie not out yet but has big casting news, big books from Free Comic Book Day, and big stellar stuff from Marvel, I couldn’t help but concatenate it all into one big podcast.

My disappointments with parts of Siege aside, Marvel has certainly been on a role with their latest book and movie offerings. It only makes me wonder if they can keep things riding high into next year with their Thor and Cap movies, especially with Heroic Age coming down the stretch. But I won’t be a prophet of doom here – I’m loving Second Coming and I love this new take on the Wolvie/Spidey dynamic that Jason Aaron brings to the table. You definitely will not guess how Aaron starts that off…

So I have a bone to pick with Marvel. Love the guys to death, but with Siege #1 out recently, there’s just something about the issue that irks me a bit. The content that’s in here is a decent set-up for what’s to come, but I hope Marvel understands that I’m expecting more if I’m paying this much for a single issue. Click the play button and you’ll find out what I mean.

Marvel’s Plan for Avengers

Looks like Marvel is ready to come out swinging. I’m curious how Thor will look, considering they’re presumably focusing most of his story in Asgard. Beyond that, I’m all for this plan.

Thanks to IGN Movies for the pic.
