July 16, 2012 10:36 am you just won comic book casting! now we just need someone from marvel studios to see this.

July 15, 2012 1:26 pm so it looks like the line-up for the next avengers movie is captain america, iron man, thor, ant-man and...someone from guardians of the galaxy? maybe they'll be bringing in rocket raccoon to match with the marvel now stuff that's been going around...more likely they're using guardians of the galaxy to introduce all of the celestial beings and adam warlock so that they'll be ready for an infinity gauntlet (if thanos shows up in avengers 2). i still can't see them going with an all male team for avengers 2. hopefully they'll bring back black widow, but i was also really hoping to see the wasp and scarlet witch, too... plus there'd better be a hulk in avengers 2! this avengers team is getting to be pretty big for a movie.

July 15, 2012 1:12 pm yeah, why is it a girl nightwing? that makes no sense to me. if they wanted it to be babs then they could've named her batgirl. i'm assuming the reason why they're using babs is so that new readers that pick up smallville will be interested in her and start buying batgirl, but those readers will be very surprised if they pick up nightwing expecting to see her there.

July 14, 2012 1:34 pm the design is cool and the gauntlets are sweet but there's too much gold on the front and the legs. the color scheme on the back looks pretty cool.

July 13, 2012 10:23 am this is proof that scott snyder is an evil genius. if he was the mad hatter then a stunt like this could put him well on his way to world domination.

July 3, 2012 9:42 pm i was assuming phoenix-cyclops, but i haven't been keeping up on avx so i'm not sure.

July 3, 2012 11:07 am issue's 1-3 are available on mdcu. i wish i still had copies of any of that stuff. i remember it being really great

July 3, 2012 10:44 am i kind of agree. they might have just as well called the cloud making machine the "plot device" because it's obvious that's what it was. and i wasn't a fan of this version of the lizard. but the peter/gwen stuff is pretty great and so was the the stuff with his uncle. i also could've lived without the stuff with his parents but i guess it's going to be more important in spider-man 2.

July 3, 2012 10:38 am pros: andrew garfield was a better peter parker than tobey mcguire easily. emma stone was a great gwen stacey, and a better love interest than kirsten dunst's mj (even though i tend to be more of a mj type of guy). their love story was much more believable to me and i thought their awkward flirting was pretty funny. and, oh yeah, spider-man was funny again! like he should be! he was throwing out one liners when he was taking down villains, something he generally didn't do in the other spider-man movies (seriously, re-watch them, he's surprisingly unfunny during the action sequences) and he also seemed to fly by the seat of his pants a bit more, which is something i love about spider-man. cons: no jjj! wtf? the lizard was still better than the villains in spider-man 3, but worse than the villains in spider-man 1 or 2. it's a shame because i like the lizard, but i felt there wasn't much time actually spent on his character and it made him seem like a weird choice for the villain in the reboot. he should be a GREAT choice because the lizard is the story of a guy who had great power and didn't use it responsibly, which turned him into a monster. but in the end he just seemed like a random choice. ("eh, we haven't had a movie with the lizard in it yet, lets use the lizard") also, i don't know if it's just because of the imax theater i saw it in, or if i'm just getting to be a grumpy old man, but the sound mix seemed off during the action sequences. the film score was played pretty loudly and it was distractingly average movie music. in the end i still think that it's the best version of spider-man that we've gotten in a movie, and it's generally better than any of the other spider-man movies. (i've recently re-watched the other movies and they don't hold up well). far from a perfect movie, and not the best summer comic book movie, but i enjoyed it. also, don't watch the 3d version, it's pretty unnecessary.

June 28, 2012 1:03 am i'm basically fine with it, although i'm not sure how well spider-man will work with a partner. he's always best when he's going on the spur of the moment with no planning, having a partner generally means you have to plan for two people now. but i'm definitely interested. i only wish that alpha were bitten by a radioactive 'a' and given alphabet-themed powers.
