Irregular Reconnaissance: Comic Books #7
You wait all year for an Irregular Reconnaissance of comic books and then two come along in the space of the week. Actually, this issue is effectively part two of IR: Comics #6 so there’s no overlap. Let’s talk comic books. What would you recommend? What series needs to be checked out and read by […]
Irregular Reconnaissance: Comic Books #6
It is the first Irregular Reconnaissance: Comics catch up of 2014 and there’s more than half a dozen micro-reviews. In Irregular Reconnaissance I look back of recent reading to share opinion, insight but mainly opinion. The goal? There’s a wealth of comic book goodness out there and it can be hard to decide when to […]
He’s got a metal arm: The Winter Soldier trailer
The latest trailer for Captain America 2 – The Winter Soldier looks pretty good. I’m not sure it is as amazing as the latest Spider-man trailer but we get to see a whole host of The Avengers team. We also get to see the Winter Soldier weild his metal arm to good effect. What do […]
Madhouse anime teams the Punisher with Black Widow
Marvel’s Avengers are getting the anime treatment – no longer a rare thing for American successes. The series is created by Madhouse and gets off to a cracker by pairing two low level but sneaky bastard fighters together. Black Widow and Punisher, who both look anime-impressive, team up to take on Leviathan who have been […]
My argument: Black Panther deserves to be favourite
There’s a TV ad running in the UK for a subscription to a graphic novel collection called “Marvel’s Mightiest Heroes”. If you’re in the UK and had the tellybox on you may well have seen it. It’s one of those deals where you pay a little for the first book, unlock a bunch of goodies […]
Will there be two Ant-Men in Ant-Man?
Many years ago over at SuperHero Hype Edgar Wright talked about Ant-Man, a film he’s wanted to do for a while, and mentioned the idea of having the first Ant-Man Henry Pym and the second Ant-Man Scott Lang. Lang is a reformed thief and electronics expert whereas Pym is pretty much an obsessed scientist. Well, […]
Lone Wolves
Lone Wolves is an adventure designed by Bruce Nesmith for TSR’s Marvel Super Heroes Basic RPG. It was designed for a small group of heroes with a focus on heroes who tend to work alone. The pre-generated characters included in this adventure include Daredevil, Black Widow, Power Man Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. The events […]
First official Guardians of the Galaxy photo
Marvel have released the first official photo from Guardians of the Galaxy. I suppose this counts as “first” given that we had a teaser clip (probably) relating to Guardians of the Galaxy at the end of Thor: The Dark World. The picture shows enigmatic Gamora, then Peter Quill outside his Star-Lord uniform, Rocket Raccoon, Drax […]
May 2014: The death of the Watcher
Uatu the Watcher is a powerful cosmic character in the Marvel universe. He shouldn’t act. He should watch. This teaser postcard was sent my Marvel to Comicvine’s Tony Guerrero. It seems to show the death of the Watcher (or a Watcher). So what’s happening in May 2014? It’ll likely be more than just the death […]
