News You Already Know

* Civil War #5 shipped this week and it was pretty cool but still hasn't started to live up to the Marvel-Mega Hype. Here's a few nuggets of wisdom we learned from ish 5.
1) Peter Parker has left the Avengers and joined up with Cap's army. The new Thunderbolts were sent after Spidey and got their heads blown off.
2) So yea the ski mask guy was Punisher. The idea that Punisher has joined Cap's army is a little odd, but I love the idea of him leading an attack on the Baxter building.
3) Tony's 50 state plan is to have a super team in each state. Let's hope it doesn't happen cause that's a lot of new titles to buy.
4) Daredevil-Fist is now captured and living in the Negative Zone.
5) Tigra is a filthy whore who is actually a spy for Iron Man.
6) Speaking of Iron Man, he's been offered the job as head of S.H.E.I.L.D.
7) Thor-Clone (Clor) wasn't actually a clone he was more like a cybrog, like The Vision. Eh, he's still lame.

* The Dark Knight is set to film in 2007 for a 2008 release, dammit!

* The rumored villian for Superman Returns Again is now set to be Brainiac and NOT Zod. I hope that's true, we don't need another remake from Bryan Singer.

* Hugh Jackman or as I like to call him, Wolverine, was quoted saying that they will start filiming the Wolverine movie in 2007. No other details right now, but Wolverine would like Bryan Singer to direct. He would also like a cure for cancer, and to shit gold.

* The Halo movie isn't happening. THANK GAWD!

* Devils Due is going to put a comic based on Chucky from the Child's Play movie. You'll be able to find this comic on the "Who Gives a Fuck" rack.

Crazy Ass Rumors

* Spider-Man looks amazing so far but some are nervous after the new trailer that Venom doesn't play a huge part in the movie. This makes one think that Venom's arrival in the movie is only a tease for the 4th film. Also rumored is the death of Harry Osborne but not at the hands of Spidey but at the hands of Sandman while Harry is teamed up with Spidey.

* Civil War Time! It's been so slow for Marvel cause the books all got delayed but I've dug up a few rumors for you to snack on. The first three rumors are all about The Winter Solider.
1) The Winter Solider dies at the hands of Iron Man.
2) The Winter Solider takes over as Captain America after Cap gets killed in battle.
3) Captain America gets his arm taken off during battle and get a new cyber arm from The Winter Solider.

* The little boy from Action Comics that is suppose to be from Krypton is actually Zod.

* After Civil War there's going to the Omega Flight, New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, and The Thunderbolts. Expect World War Hulk to involve all four of those teams trying to take down big green to establish themselves as the dominate super hero group.

* Speaking of Super Hero teams. The Fantstic Four will have a new line-up post Civil War. Expect to see Sue, Johnny, Ben, Namor.
