Buying off the comic book rack – May 15, 2013

Steve from Third Eye Comics has the latest new releases, including another old school favorite of mine that’s now becoming a comic book.

 CRISIS ON INFINITE MARVEL EARTHS Continues!

With the MARVEL UNIVERSE turned inside out, who will take responsibility for breaking the world? And is there any way to put it back? Wait until you see who is in charge of the new world order and how they got there…. you’re gonna lose your mind!

A reality-spanning choice is made in this issue that will affect the Marvel Universe for years and years to come.

AGE OF ULTRON is must-read stuff as it sets the stage for the blockbuster INFINITY event beginning this Summer — trust us, you’re going to want to be reading AGE OF ULTRON once you see what’s in store when it concludes.

This book could be one of the most important pieces of the puzzle in Marvel’s most recent history. More

No more Iron Man movies? Robert Downey Jr. considers his options for “Iron Man 4″

http://images2.mtv.com/uri/mgid:uma:content:mtv.com:1703085?width=281&height=211The norm now for comic book movies is that the hero’s arc is told over the course of a trilogy and with Robert Downey Jr. wrapping up “Iron Man 3″ it seems like the natural assumption that this will be it for “Iron Man” standalone films.

Wesley Snipes put “Blade” in the tomb after “Blade: Trinity,” the X-Men films were mercifully ended for the first arc after “X-Men: The Last Stand” and Sam Raimi packed up shop on his highly successful “Spider-Man” series. Admittedly, after the third installment, not too many people were upset that he was leaving. Christopher Nolan concluded his critically acclaimed Batman arc and isn’t looking back either.

Ahttp://jeffreyklyles.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/f22fb-batmanrobinandbatgirlintheirterriblebatsuits.jpg?w=280&h=210nd let’s be honest, it’s not like “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace” or “Batman & Robin” did much in terms of making a strong case for a fourth installment of a comic book film before the inevitable relaunch.

But with Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, we’ve got a character that audiences aren’t showing any signs of tiring of anytime soon and their appetite for more “Iron Man” movies doesn’t look to be satisfied anytime soon especially with “Iron Man 3″ grossing $198.4 million in its international opening last weekend.

Steve at Third Eye Comics is back with the latest take on this week’s new releases:

IRON MAN #9 — THE SECRET ORIGIN OF TONY STARK ! 

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect arc to jump on board IRON MAN with, this is THE spot to jump on board.

In issue #9, things get off to a bang, as Death’s Head and Iron Man team up to hunt d own a genocidal criminal. But, that’s not the problem.

A shipful of dead badoon? That’s not the problem either. What Tony finds in the depths of that ship: the problem. BIG PROBLEM. This is going to be one of the biggest MARVEL stories of the year.

Do not sleep on IRON MAN #9 — it is THE book to get, and is going to be one of this year’s most sought after issues. More

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

This is the first video offering a sense of Tony Stark’s new upgrades, which allow him to assemble his armor piece by piece instead of having it loaded on via a massive gantry. Looks pretty sweet, right?

Final new “Iron Man 3″ character poster – Iron Man and Pepper Potts’ last stand

2 Comments

Iron Man 3 main poster Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark.jpg_cmykIn what should complete the set of “Iron Man 3″ character posters, this one shows a wounded and battered Tony Stark/Iron Man clutching tight to his girlfriend Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) while Stark’s Iron Man armada flies overhead.

Of the bunch, this is probably my favorite as it conveys a bit more of the overall film with the Iron Man armada and The Mandarin’s helicopters swarming in for the kill and Iron Man preparing for the big showdown. And it kinda reminds me of those old 1980s action movie posters with the hero clutching his love interest and bracing for the big fight. What do you think?

New Iron Man 3 posterHere’s what I assume will be the final “Iron Man 3″ character poster featuring Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) rising up from the ocean seemingly preparing for a major battle while an army of Iron Man armors are flying above him.

Are they under Stark’s command or arch-foe The Mandarin?

Guess we’ll find out more come May 3.

Buying off the comic book rack – Jan. 23, 2013

This looks like it’s going to be a big week with some intriguing new releases. Here’s my man, Steve Anderson from Third Eye Comics, with the breakdown on everything worth checking out:

The THRONE OF ATLANTIS has once again put both JUSTICE LEAGUE and AQUAMAN at the top of our reading lists, as GEOFF JOHNS takes his two most kick-a$$ titles and crosses the two over.. and we’re loving every second of it!
Both JUSTICE LEAGUE and AQUAMAN have been major DCU releases, and have been delivering in a big way since day 1. Now, as the secrets of Atlantis are revealed, and Aquaman’s origins come to the surface, a war begins to brew between the JUSTICE LEAGUE and ATLANTIS, and AQUAMAN’s struggle to fend off OCEAN MASTER is all that keeps ATLANTIS from waging war on the surface world altogether.

  Killer artwork, killer storytelling, folks, if you’ve yet to jump on board either AQUAMAN or JUSTICE LEAGUE, now’s a great chance to try both of these top tier DCU titles. More
