Review: Iron Man: Rise of Technovore

1 Comment

Iron Man Rise of Technovore Iron ManWhile Marvel Studios dominates the box office, the home video wing — Marvel Animation — has consistently been owned by Warner Bros. Animation department’s offerings from the DC Comics Universe.

Although featuring the golden Avenger, the latest effort — “Iron Man: Rise of Technovore” — doesn’t do much to polish the studio’s rusty reputation with a scattered, dull adventure that seems surprisingly dated for a character who’s always on the cutting edge of technology. More

Looks to be another big week with more “Batman: Death of the Family,” “X-Men/Avengers” fun and more all brought to you by Steve Anderson from Third Eye Comics.

AVENGERS #1 debuts kicking off the biggest Marvel NOW titles of the year! 

Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opena. Together. ON THE AVENGERS?! One word: AWESOME.

Heck, even the team roster has us geeking out, with a mix of iconic faves like THE HULK, CAPTAIN AMERICA and WOLVERINE, along with cult favorites like Carol Danvers CAPTAIN MARVEL and THE BLACK WIDOW. [I still hate that Wolverine and Spider-Man are on The Avengers. Sigh. - JKL]

 The biggest, and the boldest the Marvel Universe are united under one time. The AVENGERS “go large” in this title, expanding their roster, and their sphere of influence to a global and even interplanetary level. You’ve been waiting for an AVENGERS title that captures the universe-spanning, all encompassing feel of the MARVEL UNIVERSE? You’ve been waiting for an Avengers title that’s action packed from start to finish? Folks, this is it. Assemble! More

Sideshow Collectibles’ Black Widow Scarlett Johansson premium format figure

Leave a comment

Sideshow Collectibles wisely became a major player with Marvel film properties just as they started to get really popular and now are reaping the benefits with increased interest from a new group of fans lured into the property on the strength of films like “Iron Man,” “Thor,” “Captain America: The First Avenger” and of course, “Marvel’s The Avengers.”

I’m loving what Sideshow has done with the Marvel line in general and this offering – from their premium format line – hardly breaks the streak. This is a bit of a throwback figure from them with a Black Widow from “Iron Man 2″ so right away you’ll notice the longer hair and the generic blue SHIELD agent attire.  Course with the figure’s pose that may not actually have been the first thing people noticed, huh? The resemblance to Scarlett Johansson is kinda scary, no?
