Behind the Magic: The Visual Effects of The Avengers
Today ILM released this amazing making of video for The Avengers. It’s pretty insane.
Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen join the cast of next X-Men movie
Marvel just broke the news that Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen are returning to the X-Men franchise to reprise their roles as Professor X and Magneto. With Bryan Singer directing “Days of Future Past” looks more like the X-Men 3 everyone wanted, and less like the sequel to “First Class” everyone expected. That makes me very excited.
Ok, maybe that’s too much. I mean James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender are also playing the professor and his nemesis. So it’s likely that it’s just a cameo. But I’m still excited.
So, is James Marsden next (ignore his ‘death’ in X3. Comic book characters don’t really die. Ask Jean)? (Speaking of…) what about Famke Janssen? Anna Paquin?

Marvel at Midnight: The Wolverine Teaser Poster
Two things. 1. YES! 2. I really like that DCU’s “it’s midnight somewhere” policy for Marvel at Midnight.

Comics Beat lays out the current problems at Marvel:
When Disney bought Marvel, there was some hope that it would become another Pixar, another separate and eccentric IP farm. The reality is the exact opposite. Pixar has ping pong tables and free lunch for its imagineers. Marvel has one bathroom.
Hey guys: I wrote a new article up right now on Dorkly: 8 Real & Fictional Addresses of New York City Superheroes. Click through to see photos & more!
Marvel likes to set their superheroics in real world locations. Mostly New York City. Which is where I live now! So I walked around town, took some pictures, and compared the real locations with how they look in the comics. Did you know Dr. Strange shares his address with a Pinkberry? You do now.
If you love comic book trivia, or if you just like learning about the real places fake people don’t live, this article goes out to you.
YES. Owen made an article for me and all of you!
I love the idea of the Marvel Comics App. It brings me comic books in a very readable digital form. Fantastic.
I understand why Marvel is releasing only older, popular books. Because they know they’ll sell.
But I already own most of the “90 new comics” out this week. I want the new books that they are releasing on Wednesdays. And I want assurance that this format won’t just be killed. That in 10 years I can still read these comics that I bought, just like I can listen to the music I’ve bought from iTunes.
Disney to Pay $4 Billion for Comic Giant Marvel
So this is happening… I’m having so many thoughts I can’t begin to sort them all out. Hopefully I will have a better bearing on this soon. I’m sure an editorial will follow.
