This week Disney announced a new Marvel movie. We don’t know what it’ll be but has a US release date of July 8, 2016. Doctor Strange? Perhaps. Black Panther? Possible? The Inhumans? Oh, now you’re upping the ante! Can you imagine Marvel having a success of The Avengers and the Inhumans while DC still try […]

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has made it through the choppy waters of being a pilot and has been picked up the by the big boat that is ABC. Here’s the trailer. Okay, micro trailer. Okay, teaser. As you can see Coulson lives. He was the character that joined the individual titles in the run up to […]
The Crimson Horror video clips and previews
Tonight’s Doctor Who, The Crimson Horror, features Diana Rigg as Winifred Gillyflower. She’s expected to be a baddie. Rigg will be known to geeks outside the UK as Lady Olenna Tyrell, the Queen of Thorns, in the Game of Thrones TV series. In fact, she’s rarely been away from the screen but will be known […]
Iron Man 3 review
There are a few surprises in Iron Man 3. There is always a risk with messing with expectations when it comes to comic book movies but Shane Black and the writing team make it work. I enjoyed Iron Man 3. It’s easily the strongest of the Iron Man sequels. The original retains the title of […]
The sexist superhero t-shirt debate
Geek Native’s collection of fully dressed superheroines, wonderfully drawn by Michael Lee Lunsford, helped spark an intersting debate. Is there sexism in today’s comic book culture? I feel that the weekend’s debate over these two t-shirts is a natural round two. The concern is this; the blue t-shirt for boys tells them they can be […]
Disney Princesses as brutal Avengers
These pictures come from the talented Christopher Stoll, a young artist based in the US. He’s getting plenty of attention this week for these creations and I hope his daily deviantion tally goes through the roof. In a good way. I’m especially fond of Pocahontas as Captain America.

Guillermo del Toro was at WonderCon to help promote Pacific Rim, the mecha versus Kaiju film, and it certainly feels like that’s going to be a great movie. While he was at the convention he also talked about Dark Universe – that’s the working name, perhaps the final name – for the “Justice League Dark” […]
Meet the Powerpuff Avengers
Here’s a mashup created when Chemical X and Chemical A merged. It’s not the Avengers. It’s not the Powerpuff Girls. It’s the Powerpuff Avengers. These are three girls, er, two girls and a Thor, who you would not want to mess with. Loki as Princess will testify to that.
See to believe: The magic of The Avengers effects
Industrial Light and Magic put together this reel, complete with custom stop motion, to showcase some of the Oscar worthy special effects on The Avengers. If you’ve seen the film you’ll know that this is just a whisker of all the action and drama in the full movie. Little wonder that over 200 artists, engineers […]
