Irregular Reconnaissance: Comic Books #6

February 13, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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

February 4, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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

January 23, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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 […]

Will there be two Ant-Men in Ant-Man?

January 6, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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, […]

First official Guardians of the Galaxy photo

January 1, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

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 […]
