Marvel's Top 70 Comics of All Time - #70 to #65

Marvel have begun their TOP 70 MARVEL COMICS OF ALL TIME, as voted by the public, in honor of Marvel’s 70th Anniversary. Check out what made it in from 70 to 65 and let me know what you guys think should be on the list or what should be number one. Cap #25 has got to be up there for me...or Cable #1. I'll cover the list over the coming weeks.

Number 70 - X-Men #30
Over 30 years after meeting as two of Professor Xavier's first students, Cyclops and Jean Grey finally tied the knot. The only one not celebrating? Poor old "I've got a crush on Jean" Wolverine.

Number 69 - Captain America #34
When Steve Rogers was killed in CAPTAIN AMERICA #25, a nation mourned and fans everywhere said he could never be replaced. Less than a year later, Bucky Barnes stepped into the (albeit updated) Cap costume and proved that Captain America lives on.

Number 68 - Ultimate Wolverine Vs Hulk #1
Great writer? Check. Amazing artist? You betcha. Cool premise? For sure. What really got people talking? Two pages in and Hulk tore Wolverine in half. That might've been rough for Wolvie, but it was wonderful for everyone reading.

Number 67 - Wolverine #75
Fans love to see their heroes win, but when the usually unflappable characters lose—when they suffer—readers can't help but devour the story. Wolvie's adamantium removed by Magneto, this issue deals with the horrific aftermath.

Number 66 - New Avengers #29
It's the New Avengers vs. the Mighty Avengers in a classic hero-team battle! And just before Secret Invasion!

Number 65 - Astonishing X-Men #6
Joss Whedon and John Cassaday capped off their first X-arc here, bringing Colossus firmly back into the X-verse and creating a new benchmark for the X-Men.

J.J. Abrams Talks 'Cloverfield 2'

Most assumed after the hype and hit that was Cloverfield that there would be a sequel to the monster flick but there has been some word recently this would not happen. Well read on as J.J. Abrams confirms that a sequel is currently in the works.

"We're actually working on an idea right now," Abrams told the packed crowd at the Star Trek panel at WonderCon, Coming Soon reports. "The key obviously at doing any kind of sequel, certainly this film included, is that it better not be a business decision. If you're going to do something, it should be because you're really inspired to do it. It doesn't really have to mean anything, doesn't mean it will work, but it means we did it because we cared, not because we thought we could get the bucks. We have an idea that we thought was pretty cool that we're playing with, which means there will be something that's connected to 'Cloverfield,' but I hope it happens sooner than later because the idea is pretty sweet."

Mickey Rourke Not Returning For Sin City 2!

Sin City was greatness. A key element to that was Frank Miller's character Marv and the actor who embodied him, Mickey Rourke. Recent news of the sequel going into production next year is exciting but it looks like it could be without Mr. Rourke!


"No, I'm not interested in that right now. That's not a reality right now. It's pissing in the wind," Rourke told Coming Soon. "There's different factions going different directions there. I don't know. That's three hours of make up and I'm claustrophobic, so I'm going to have to work something out."

It does sound as though he is tired of sitting around waiting, obviously knowing more about the project than we do. And I don't blame him, after his amazing performance in The Wrestler and currently working on the upcoming remake of 13 Tzameti, it looks as though he is gearing towards a different type of film. But it sure would be great to have one more round with Marv, hell you never know.

First Photo of Sack Head Jason From 'Friday the 13th'

Jason got his sack back! Check out the first official pic of Jason with his sack from the upcoming Friday the 13th remake!

Producer Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes tells STYD, who also provided the awesome pic, "sack head Jason" dipped in an out of various script drafts. "But it was [Damian] Shannon and [Mark] Swift who came up with giving the film that seminal moment where you go from the baghead to the hockey mask," he says. "That was something that we all wanted to do in the movie. If we're going to be true to what we're doing here, and tell - obviously not a remake of the first movie and it's not a sequel - key moments from all of the movies, we really wanted to integrate it in our own way." FX artists Scott Stoddard is responsible for designing the streamlined appearance you see. "He is so good that what he gives us is what we go with, that was the case here. He just hit a home run with it and we just loved the design."

Details and Artwork For Star Trek: Countdown Comic Series

Star Trek! Star Trek! Star Trek! The buzz is getting bigger for the new film but what could make it better? A look at where the new film exists within the rest of the Star Trek universe, including TNG? Well check out the full details and promo artwork for Star Trek: Countdown, a 4-Issue comic series by IDW publishing which will lay the ground work for the upcoming film.


Thanks to TrekMovie.com for the following info:

“The title of the new comic prequel series is Star Trek: Countdown. It is being written byMike Johnson and Tim Jones based on a story by Star Trek director JJ Abrams and writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. The series will run four issues, with the first coming out in January 2009 and one more issue in each of the next three months (with the final issue and a trade paperback collection in April). The Trek team are all fans of comics and have done many comic tie-ins to previous projects. This project is something they are paying close attention to, right down to picking the writers. Both Johnson and Jones have worked with Orci and Kurtzman in the past and Johnson has also been writing Superman/Batman comics for DC. The artwork is being done by Italian artist David Messina who has been working for IDW on a number of Trek comics, including the latest “Mirror Images” series, where his work has garnered rave reviews.”

“It will cover ‘the origin of Nero, the mysterious Romulan who will ultimately threaten the survival of the entire universe.’ In a way, this comic book prequel evidences why the new Star Trek team has been resistant to labeling their film as a straight up prequel. As revealed recently, the plot of the film involves Nero traveling back in time to the era before the Original Series. This Comic Book prequel, which is said to ‘take us right up to the movie,’ is primarily set in the time before Nero goes back in time, specifically the Next Generation era after Star Trek Nemesis. The main characters for the prequel will not be the young TOS crew but Nero and the elder Spock (and possibly familiar characters from the TNG era).

Roberto Orci also said: ["Star Trek: Countdown"] is about how you connect the Next Generation era to our continuity, inspired by when we last saw Mr. Spock in "Unification"
