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

Cinema Convo
Gina Carano, Haywrire, Henry Cavill, Justice League, Man of Steel, Superman, Wonder Woman
Henry Cavill, who is soon to be a household name post-June when he stars as Superman in “Man of Steel,” attended the 18th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards yesterday with Gina Carano. 
Carano made her film debut last year in “Haywire.“
While I didn’t love the movie I loved the idea of Carano playing the role of Wonder Woman as she was a very credible tail-kicker in “Haywire.”
Now there’s some rumors circulating that Carano may actually be making a cameo as Wonder Woman in “Man of Steel.”
So what do you think? Would you be a bit more excited about “Justice League” if this was Superman and Wonder Woman?

Time for some relaxing reading and the highlights, as usual, are brought to you by my pal Steve from Third Eye Comics:
Marvel NOW brings us DEADPOOL #1!
It was hard to choose what was going to be our top pick this week, but after seeing the amazing custom cover that STRANGE TALENT OF LUTHER STRODE artist TRADD MOORE did for us in collaboration with Marvel… we had to go with DEADPOOL. Plus: it’s a fantastic read!
What’d you get when you take some of the most talented, genuinely funny writers in the business and pair them up with one of the most talented artists in the biz? Wait, wait, hold on.. what happens when you pair these titans up, and then put them on one of the most instinctively cool characters in comics?

Third Eye Comics’ Steve gives his take on what’s coming out today:
MARVEL NOW: POINT ONE #1 – THE FUTURE OF MARVEL NOW
This is the springboard for many of the MARVEL NOW titles that haven’t quite gotten the spotlight.
Personally: I am so pumped for stuff like NOVA, and the new GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, as well as Kid Loki getting a starring role in the upcoming YOUNG AVENGERS series. I’m also pretty stoked to see what looks like the inclusion of fan-favorite Avengers movie character, Agent Coulson, into the Secret Avengers line-up.
The Marvel NOW Point One one-shot showcases 6 big stories in a special oversized issue, featuring the all-star creative teams involved with each character. More

Steve from Third Eye Comics looks at more DCnU 52 #0 issues, more fun with Spider-Man and a trade that will give you some more insight onto a featured player in 2014′s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” the sequel to “Captain America: The First Avenger“:
JUSTICE LEAGUE #0 — SHAZAM takes center-stage!
If you’ve been on the fence about reading JUSTICE LEAGUE, now is your chance to dive in. When we say this is one of the consistently best DC NEW 52 books: we mean it.
This special ZERO month issue features a look at Shazam, and how he’s carrying a much more… deadly.. mission statement than any previous incarnation of the character.
Featuring the dream team of GEOFF JOHNS and GARY FRANK, the same men responsible for this Summer’s BATMAN: EARTH ONE and last year’s SUPERMAN: SECRET ORIGIN, JUSTICE LEAGUE #0 is THE Zero issue to get, Third Eye Faithful, and we cannot recommend this enough. More

Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans) look on as alien forces continue to attack in “Marvel’s The Avengers.”
According to a few reports, “Marvel’s The Avengers” had the second biggest Friday opening of all time with $80.5 million (second only to the final installment of the Harry Potter franchise, which earned $91.5 million).
Add on the overwhelmingly positive word-of-mouth and “Avengers,” based on the popular Marvel Comics characters, seems like it has a decent chance to surpass “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2′s” all-time top grossing $169.2 million weekend opening.
I’m posting this, not just because I’m a huge fan of the movie, but because I like to see quality work do well at the box office. Marvel Studios took a huge gamble banking that audiences would flock to theaters to see B-list heroes (at least to the general public) Captain America, Iron Man and Thor in standalone movies building to an Avengers movie, but it’s clearly paid off big time. Kudos to everyone involved in this one.
Marvel Studios smartly locked up all their talent for multiple films clearly banking that this brand would be a hit and director Joss Whedon has already discussed some ideas for the sequel. Hopefully, Marvel Studios is backing the dump trucks full of money in his front yard as I’m typing.
The biggest question I have with this news is what time is the Warner Bros. Pictures meeting on Monday to discuss how they can make DC Comics’ “Justice League” into this kind of massive movie franchise…
