A Modest Proposal: Marvel, Sony and Fox Need to Share IP
It's time for them to share. The current landscape is this: Marvel owns most of its own film licenses, while key film franchise rights like the X-Men and Fantastic Four are still with Fox, and Spider-Man (the character, not just the film rights) is actually co-owned by Sony and Marvel (the terms are in Disney's 10-Q[...]
The Look Of Bishop – Via Busta Rhymes And Gary Coleman
Until he pointed out to Marvel President Bill Jemas that actually, no, Star Wars didn't start small and go big as Bill said, it began with a massive space battle with one ship being blasted by an even bigger ship. Oh dear. He didn't last long. But he does remember how we got the designs for Bishop that[...]
Forty-Seven Thoughts About Forty-Seven Comics – Aquaman, Nova, Avengers World, Pandora, My Little Pony, Batwoman, Iron Man, New Avengers, X-Men, Harley Quinn, Aphrodite IX, Undertow, Suicide Squad, Suicide Risk, Star Wars, Wonder Woman, Terminator, Buffy, Daredevil, Uncanny X-Men, Superior Spider-Man, Superman Unleashed, Ms Marvel, Loki, Okko, Samurai Jack, Witcher, Utrom Empire, Supergirl, Sex Criminals, Adventure Time, Clockwork Angels, Cure, A Voice In The Dark,, BPRD, White Suits, Skyman, Zero, Dark Horse Presents, Transformers,  Magic, Illegitimates, GI Joe, Fuse, Lazarus And Rocket Girl
Maybe he already is. And the entire Batfamily modus operandi comes crashing down as well in Batwoman… Really Iron Man? The show turned you into a pervert? And not banging your way around the galaxy, regardless of species? Not that there's anything wrong with that… And New Avengers has a go at its fellow storylines… you know, I[...]
A St. Paddy's Day Tip-O'-The-Hat To Marvel's Shamrock
For a long time all we had was Banshee from the X-men A banshee of course is a female spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the underworld This made perfect sense for a big strapping man like Sean Cassidy to take as a superhero name[...]

Comic Book Babylon Launches Today, Ten Years After Dave Cockrum Settlement
Ten years ago, Marvel Comics settled all rights arguments with X-Men artist Dave Cockrum and his characters Nightcrawler, Storm, Colossus and more, in a deal negotiated by Clifford Meth and Neal Adams, while Cockrum was in a hospital bed.

Quick New Footage From X-Men: Days Of Future Past
Gotta hand it to them, even though this new "sneak peek" at X-Men: Days of Future Past is only about 7 seconds long, a lot of new action-oriented footage is packed in there.

Vote Nick Xenophon Of The X-Men (Black Widow Cosplay Update)
You'll of course note the X-Men reference, and even the 60's styled "the". As well as sounding like a mutant supervillain, Xenophon is a Senator for the state of South Australia, Independent, and this is his poster to advertise candidates he supports in the oncoming South Australian state government election. Australians tell me that he's a fascinating[...]

Why I Will See Every Film Ellen Page Is In From Now On, Forever
You're an inspiration, and have done the X-Men proud. P.S I don't think you're a bad actress I think you're quite talented, actually I just liked Hard Candy more than Juno. Timothy Carsons writes, I didn't think you deserved your Oscar nomination, Ellen Page I thought Juno was an incredibly overhyped and overrated movie[...]

When Kitty Pryde Picked Up The Idiot Ball
And reflected in that we all, from time to time, do or say stupid things. But I'm not sure what role it's playing in last week's All New X-Men, with Kitty Pryde. Why would the Shi'Ar do what? Yes, why would the Shi'Ar take Jean? I mean, she may have stopped Cassandra Nova from possessing Lilandra and causing the[...]
Sean Connery Is Magneto
Uncanny X-Men from a couple of weeks ago gave us a new look Magneto Not just the bald head. But also the beard. And not just the beard But also the hat. Okay, that's not shaken or stirred but I know that look.   Ba-dum-ba-daaa, ba-da-da… Ba-da-da-daa, da da daaaaah…   Exotic locales, secret agents, dangerous bars, Magneto is James[...]

It's nature over nurture in Jinnrise #9, as we ask if superintelligent dinosaurs have[...]

The Beast – From Atheist To Agnostic
Thinking that when you died, you stopped, even though he'd been stabbed with the Soul Sword. Well, if nothing else, his recent encounter with Nightcrawler in heaven in Amazing X-Men seems to have shifted his thinking from atheist to agnostic… Even if its still a pragmatic belief. Mind you, just checking in with God Loves, Man Kills remixed[...]

The Latest Rumours For X-Men, All-New And Legacy, And For Ant-Man And AI
Before I'd even written one of them up, it had already been confirmed by a PR push given to CBR, that the Indestructible Hulk book would get a major shake up but that Mark Waid would stay on the book. And indeed, it's getting a relaunch with Mark Bagley on art as Hulk. Banner's in a VERY[...]
