Marvel’s Chaos War Looks EPIC
Marvel’s next epic happens to be epic since they will be dealing with gods. Its a bit of fresh air from DnA’s Cosmic heroes genre as the heroes in Chaos War happens to be the combined force of the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Avengers plus other street level heroes from the 616 Marvel Universe.
What could be better than seeing your favorite superheroes rushing into war against chaos itself….
Reminds me of those old Infinity Gauntlet covers where they stuck a bunch of big name Marvel heroes just to boost sales.

First Look at Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason’s Batman and Robin
Writer Peter Tomasi and artist Patrick Gleason are stepping up to the plate as Grant Morrison leaves Batman and Robin for his new book Batman Inc.
Here’s the first look at the duo’s upcoming take on the dynamic duo.

Dick Grayson as Batman looks great. He’s imposing and very mean looking. Definitely feels like a threat to all “cowardly lot”…
Damien Wayne as Robin on the otherhand looks like a kid with hydrocephalus or even has similarities with the Green Lantern baddies, the Children of the White Lobe…

Here’s the final finish for the cover for Batman and Robin done by Patrick Gleason…

Now despite what seems to be a good run on the future Avengers (actually super powered kids that were either created by Norman Osborn during Dark Reign or abused and kidnapped by Osborn also during Dark Reign) , the new crossover with Luke Cage’s Thunderbolts was kinda “MEH” for me. It seemed like it was still too early for the two teams to crossover with each other. Although it might be logical to see them interact, it still seemed like it was just a little bit too early for that. Particularly for the Avengers Academy crew that seems to have just started…
What I do want to see in the future is a crossover between the kids of Avengers Academy plus the kids of the upcoming Kieron Gillen written “Generation Hope” kids led by Hope Summers.

Superman Earth One Preview
A preview for the upcoming graphic novel from J. Michael Straczynski and Shane Davis entitled Superman Earth One.

That cover looks pretty amazing if you ask me. A glasses free Clark Kent with a hoodie. It’s like a cross between the video game character Alex Mercer from Prototype and Superman…

Tony Scott Pursues Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp for Mark Millar’s Nemesis
Rumor has it that Tony Scott, the director of Mark Millar’s Nemesis, is pursuing big name Hollywood actors Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp for the titular character.
According to Millar,
Tony Scott, brother of Ridley Scott… I just got a call from him, literally about a month ago… it was one of those very surreal things. This is a $150 million budget… he said “Who do you fancy for it?”… I said “I dunno, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp” so he said “That’s good, we’ll give them a call”.

I don’t know about Brad Pitt but given that Depp is such a great actor, I wouldnt mind paying my hard earned cash to see Depp deliver “depth” to a vicious and bored character. Brad Pitt earns extra points because he has been involved in movie projects that are actually ultraviolent in nature (Case in point Quintin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds where he played the role of Aldo “The Apache” Rain).
In the end, it really does fall down on Tony Scott and the two top actors to decide whether they should take on the role of the Batman/Joker amalgamation from the twisted mind of Mark Millar.
