Michael Moran wrote a review of Avengers Assemble for Bleeding Cool yesterday He only saw it in 2D Ha. I walked up the red carpet with my good lady wife last night, for the premiere for Avengers Assemble held in London's biggest shopping mall, Westfield We passed Jenny Agutter (playing one of Nick Fury's mysterious semi-bosses),[...]

We both knew I was going to love The Avengers Even if Marvel did insist on calling in by the wrong name in the UK The question is – how much? Well, a lot. Marvel Avengers Assemble is a fitting climax to the epic saga that started with Iron Man in 2008 There's practically no exposition, it's[...]

And I'm sure they'll love it My review, like all others, is held back until Midnight GMT tonight but I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear that it's…shall we say… 'fairly positive' ?

I was having a conversation with a retail clerk today, who expressed the opinion that DC Comics were defending comic stores while Marvel were trying to

Today, we get the second issue of Avengers Vs X-Men We've had the jaw jaw Now it's time for the war war And all the horrors that war brings The violence, the death, the stripping away of humanity and, worst of all, the poetry. That's right, there's nothing so much that defines a war as some[...]

 With the alien mystery revealed, and the film having premiered last night, I was presuming our months of speculation over various aspects of The Avengers was at an end  But not so fast  A mysterious 11th hour scene has been filmed which was not in the premiere showing  What will it be? Brendon has some[...]

We're not allowed to run a review for a whole week though, so in the meantime, here's another nice little bit of video. Essentially an unpacked, less tightly edited version of the terrific early trailers, this featurette focuses on the almost dangerously varied nature of the team.

We know who the heroes are. We have a fair idea who the villains are. But there's one more thing we need to figure out...

I had a bunch of theories about this one, and so as not to spoil, I will just say this: they are not Poppupians.

This will have been the conversation. "Okay people, our next TV ad for Farmers will be a tie in to the new Marvel movie The Avengers." "Why?"

Bleeding Cool in cooperation with Ortsbo.com will be streaming the Avengers Red Carpet event live from Hollywood at 9 PM ET right here on Bleeding Cool. Ortsbo will be providing a text translation accompanying the feed in virtually every language (though I don't see Kree in the dropdown, so maybe that's a hint), and I think[...]

You know it's going to be a good day on BC if there's news about both The Avengers Aliens and Prometheus, and today was no exception I'm pretty intrigued by Brendon's detailed description of the Prometheus footage he just saw, and it's a must-read if you've been following the details of this film. Most-Read Comic Stories[...]

Perhaps the most influential person behind the camera is Zak Penn, whose list of writing credits include X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, The Incredible Hulk, Alphas, and a little art-house feature coming up that we like to call The Avengers (with Joss Whedon) He's been a major creative force in how comics are translated to[...]

Due to legal issues, the French shop Comics Zone in Lyon that specialises in American comics held its Avengers Vs X-Men party last Saturday . They ran an X-Men cosplay competition, the winner of which will win the entire Avengers Versus X-Men crossover. Some are inspired, some are bizarre, some are… frankly… lazy But who will win?[...]

Another batch of clips for The Avengers hit today and the sentiment in the forums mirrors my own… everything they've shown us looks pretty great So much so that they've built up some rather tall expectations to meet Will the film equal the anticipation for it? Won't be long now until we know — Brendon[...]

Here is a panel from one of the final pages of Avengers Vs X-Men #1 from Marvel Comics The print edition. And here it is again, in the digital edition. Note that the digital edition very kindly points out that this is a Shield Helicarrier, and where it is positioned but not in the print edition. Please also[...]

In 24 world, it was forgotten in an hour. That's what I feel about the first proper issue of Avengers Vs X-Men #1 Now there are some nice bits, from another glimpse of the plant people killed by Phoenix back in the day and Wolverine's mention of the "mutant community" making it sound suddenly more separate[...]

Avengers Vs X-Men #1 is now released in UK stores running the Marvel Avengers Vs X-Men #1 Parties. Alasdair Stuart is at Travelling Man in York, sending back photos and audio. "Of course the comic is as pro wrestling as they come, lots of muscles, spandex and sweating But there's a washing up bowl of Maoam on[...]

It was meant to arrive on April 1st for people who bought one of Marvel's approved list of Avengers and X-Men comics, in time to use it to buy Avengers Vs X-Men #1 today or tomrrow, depending on your store. Except no one seems to have got their coupon yet. I've been in touch with Marvel who[...]

Could they be… Korbinites? And does that help explain Walt Simonson's high-profile return to Marvel on Avengers?  At this point, I think there's probably a pretty good case to be made for the Badoon as well, but, well… who wouldn't like to see Thor vs Beta Ray Bill on film, eventually?  It's been entertaining speculating[...]

Here's a second short report from our remote video discussion with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige at Disney's Hammersmith offices, ahead of the release of The Avengers (Avengers Assemble in the UK) next month. I asked him about the plans for The Avengers within the overall structure of Marvel Studios movies, and he talked about how[...]

Today, Marvel launched their new behind-the-scenes programming for Avengers Vs X-Men through MTV's website, entitled War Journals Which means they'll get the video below. Unless they don't live in America, in which case they'll get something like this. It's possible this may be fixed at some time And then there are solutions such as TunnelBear, HotSpot Shield[...]

We've taken Steven Wacker's criticism to heart. Bleeding Cool had previously presented a series of Avengers Vs X-Men in a fashion that might suggest the principal male protagonists/antagonists were engaged in a courtship ritual in some cases, in actual on-cover sex in others Initially it was an attempt to deliver a little colour into the proceedings[...]

You know, you might need a few of those, if you're fighting super villains just after. You'll also be able to buy an assortment of Avengers doodads, based as Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and surprisingly Spider-Man, including models, DVDs and metallic glasses.
