Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Bleeding Cool had a story a few days back talking about leaked e-mails from Sony and the possibility (a reference really) to a Spider-Gwen Movie.
From the leaked e-mail-
RIP Gwen Stacy — gone but never forgotten. Can we bring her back as Spiderwoman?
Now, there are more low rumblings about the possibility of a female Spider-man related movie. Continue reading “Spider-Gwen or Silk movie coming?”

Not an Anime/Manga guy myself, but this is a powerhouse one in both Japan and the US. So it is odd for me to say but, I am actually looking forward to the Attack on Titan movie. Hopefully I can get a subbed version (even a fan subbed version) of the movie in a couple of months. If not, thankfully I have a region free dvd player and friends in Japan, so when this comes out on dvd I can get a copy.

We might be beating a dead horse but Avengers: Age of Ultron is going to be the biggest movie of the decade. It already grossed just over $200 million this past weekend in only 55% of the international markets, and that’s not including China. That said it might be a good idea to start grabbing everything Age of Ultron.

It has been a little while since we have had a Top 200 list from Terry Hoknes, but it makes it’s return this evening, check it out below:
Bi-weekly column and list compiled by comics historian Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com – hoknes@hotmail.com
This chart is styled like the old classic Wizard Magazine Top 10 Hottest Comic charts that were published every month in the 1990′s.
This list is updated every 2 weeks. This list is compiled from my non-stop research of the current market. I believe these were the most demand and growing in value books this month. This list focuses on all regular edition covers. (Variants are not listed otherwise they would likely dominate the entire list due to instant high prices and calculated small print runs). If you think I have missed any hot MODERN titles/issues please let me know. Here are my picks of what I believe are the hottest comics at this very moment from all sold out releases of MODERN comics online based on back issue sales ABOVE cover price. Continue reading “TOP 200 HOTTEST COMICS”

Hasbro is launching a second line of Guardians of the Galaxy to the Marvel Legends line up. This set was announced at SDCC last year and is based on the comic book versions of our cosmic heroes. There is no build a figure. There is no hunting them down at various big box stores. They all are sold together in a pretty display box and they can only be picked up here (or be at the mercy of eBay and/or Amazon). They went up today and are available now for pre-order. Enterainment Earth plans to get these to you by August. Get in on the first wave because with an exclusive like this, it could be one and done. If you are a fan of Guardians of the Galaxy or the Marvel Legends line, don’t wait. Continue reading “Think Outside the Toy Box: Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends Exclusives”
