interesting comic book times

03 Apr

It’s an interesting time to be a comics fan, friends. Check out these recently posted over at images (and some video) over at io9 relating to Marvel’s “Phase Two” slate of films, starting with Iron Man 3 next month.

There’s stuff from Thor: Dark World, Captain America: Winter Soldier, a couple of shots of the Ant Man sizzle real from SDCC last year, and some concept art from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Mostly, I just want to say how much I love this image:

Yep. We’re getting a movie with Rocket Raccoon in it. To me, that’s baffling. Almost as baffling as the fact that while Marvel is making fun, interconnected movies featuring C-list (at best) talking raccoon demolitions experts IN SPACE, DC, with the power of Warner Bros. behind them for a couple of decades now, can’t get a comic property off the ground that isn’t Batman.

If you told me this was possible when I was in middle school, I never would have believed you.

    I never read comics growing up. They were foreign objects. But through all these comic movies, I can see why the comics grabbed so many generations of imaginations. Mostly male imaginations, but imaginations none the less. And with a rise in powerful, and practical, female comic heroes (like Kick Ass movies), I definitely notice more ladies enjoying this form of entertainment.
