Little did I know that my one minute talk with The King would change my whole comic book life. Mr Kirby asked me who my favorite hero was and I said "The Avengers" He responded with "that's a group… who's your favorite individual hero?" in a panic I could only remember the cover of Avengers #172[...]

There's been a lot happening in Avengers Vs X-Men this week Possibly more than happened in the actual comic Some of it gets a little confusing as well Let's see if we can work it out. Because although Wolverine was dumped, JJ Abrams Star Trek style, in the winter wilderness by Captain America… I'm not sure[...]

How do you react to a scene where Captain America is discussing IMPRISONING almost half the existing mutant race? Since issue 1 almost every single major hero has been behaving wildly out of character in order to serve the needs of the plot and rationalize the necessary amount of the promised Avengers-on-X-Men action But the[...]

Making its way round the net... Gotta love Mullet Hawkeye. And Chachi Iron Man. And Inbetweener Simon Captain America.

RealityWatch: The Pentagon pulled out of cooperating with the makers of the Avengers movie because… it wasn't realistic enough. But the ambiguity around what exactly S.H.I.E.L.D is provides a vexing complication If it's an American governmental agency, what kind of constitutional authority does it exercise over the military? If it's an international body, as the movie[...]

 Perhaps you are more brave than I am, or more curious. Most-Read Comic Stories Today: Joining The Dots On The Avengers Assemble Big Bad… You have been warned This is a spoiler warning It is there for a reason, because it concerns The Avengers movie and the comic book Avengers Assemble #3.

It is there for a reason, because it concerns The Avengers movie and the comic book Avengers Assemble #3. In fact, the movie is called Avengers Assemble in the UK, which might make this doubly confusing But make no bones about it, in this post, part of the movie is being spoiled here Possibly the comic[...]

One gallery, many top artists, all unofficial images of The Avengers This is Assemble, a new show at Gallery 1988 on Melrose, Los Angeles, open until Sunday. Just in case any of Marvel's lawyers want to pop by Or their talent search guys Or rather, the Marvel Studios people who went along to opening night. A nice[...]

Including the replacement for Mr Mxyzptlk, Mr Myrwhyhydden… Avengers: Ultron War 0.1 3/10 It's Avengers 12.1 That's it. Donald Duck Family 5/10 Some great Carl Barks Donald Duck comics Seriously, if you never have, find out why the Scandinavians still go nuts for this stuff And wonder how the Beagle Brothers can be such stupid criminals… because everyone else[...]

A second credits scene for The Avengers? Interesting  My mind is still spinning with the possibilities that the first one — which I couldn't resist peeking at — presents for future Marvel films  If you're curious about this one too, Brendon does a good job of discussing it without spoiling.

It does however use an idea in the back of my head for an actual Avengers story – what if Iran started developing a gamma bomb… With covers by Mark Stafford and Joshua Covey, and yes there is going to be a second print of this comic as well… [issuu width=420 height=319 backgroundColor=%23222222 documentId=120501092724-4bb3e226a8e54447b883f58f6bdc3418 name=pages_from_avengefuls_letts_prev427 username=richjohnston tag=bleedingcool[...]

Even though Hulk and Incredible Hulk both got mixed reviews, I loved seeing the character on the big screen (particularly in Incredible Hulk). So it was good to see that the character's stint in The Avengers may have changed some hearts and minds among the decision makers.

Mark Millar tells The Scottish Sun newspaper that he wrote what became the Avengers movie. "Marvel told me years back this is one movie they didn't think they could do. "They were worried it would be a sensory overload having six, seven or eight different, very distinct, characters with their own unique back-story all coming together. "The fear[...]

I saw a suggestion on twitter yesterday that BC's headline revelation that there is a facial expression used in the credits scene of the Avengers is a spoiler —  though the character using said expression was not named or hinted at I disagree that that's a spoiler, but if you don't want to know whether[...]

As more and more people get to see The Avengers movie (it's out in the UK today), there are more and more questions being asked But these are the two bigger ones. The first is a slight spoiler for a line from Loki Nothing major The second spoiler is for the mid-credit scene This will be[...]

It's an Avengers world these days, and not only are they here to help save it, but also to help put the market for Avengers-related vintage comics into overdrive   Bleeding Cool has told you about quite a few eye-popping record sales over the past year related to Avengers team members first appearances — such[...]

Zack Parks writes for Bleeding Cool. Following the midnight poster tie-in for John Carter at IMAX cinemas, they've done it again for The Avengers. This brand new, illustrated poster will be given to audiences who attend screenings of The Avengers at midnight on May 4th. I like this better than the official "clearly photoshopped" mess we got for a real[...]

So, the massive incentives retailers were given to order massive amounts of Avengers Vs X-Men comics have not only see the comics sell through once but also twice. I understand that Marvel is going back to print on Avengers Vs X-Men #0, #1 and #2 for a third time. That all Avengers Vs X-Men tie-in titles are[...]

And both books seem to have a similar take on, basically Avengers Vs X-Men #1 and #2. Marvel have promoted Versus as having no plot, simply expanding battles from the original series And that's what we get, Iron Man Vs Magneto and Thing Vs Namor Iron Man and Magneto giving us inner caption box monologue, detailing[...]

Where they have just got last week's comics…   In AVENGERS VS X-MEN #2 the fight is ON! The second issue of the mega-event contains a whole lot of punching, shields being thrown, optic beams and stabbing, along with an insane amount of deliciously Claremont-by-way-of-Fraction hyperbolic narrative The focus jumps across different battle match ups, ranging from[...]

Marvel movie glue-guy Agent Coulson, ably played by Clark Gregg in the films, finally enters the world of Marvel comics? Love the idea, and think it's

And there's no suggestion that he will reflect other changes in Agent Coulson in the Avengers movie… In tomorrow's final issue of Battle Scars, all right minded readers of Bleeding Cool are expecting Sergeant Marcus Johnson, now revealed as the son of Nick Fury, to basically be the new Nick Fury With a skin colour[...]

Independent outfit Pitch Films have rebuilt the Avengers trailer using Marvel Legends action figures and it's a bit tremendous. And as we always warn you when it's a Marvel joint: Be sure to stay until the very end.

Not unprecedented, and not like it needs the help, but the domestic debut of The Avengers just got a little sweetener with the debut of a new trailer for the equally anticipated Dark Knight Rises   I'm looking forward to this trailer myself, as the John Blake mystery has generated even more interest than the[...]
