With All These Marvel Movies Going On, Where Does “Guardians Of The Galaxy” Fit In?

Posted on by toddpanther

Answer: Into “Avengers 3.”

Yep, this going-to-the-Marvel-movies-thing is not going to end, said Captain Obvious. 🙂

Meanwhile…….

EW-13071308-XMEN

Yes, I’m using it twice! 🙂

I’m clearly on the way to 50, because instead of shouting, “More, more!” I’m actually thinking of shouting, “Less! Less!” LOL! 🙂

So now we know that Marvel has now set a bar of quality it won’t go under. So even the “bad” reviews are not bad. Good! It only took MY WHOLE LIFE, but that’s OK. 🙂

APRIL 16th UPDATE: So rumors are circulating that this movie will have a tragic ending–one Emma Stone wanted when she signed up, knowing about the history (DON’T CLICK IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW). Good to know.

APRIL 21st UPDATE: Gulp!

Agents-of-SHIELD

OOOOkay! NOW this show is FINALLY making sense! But did we really have to wait THHHIISS LOOOONNNNGGGG for it to get some direction?

So the whole season was just holding space for “Captain America: The Winter Soldier?” No wonder the season went soooo slow and had no answers!

Last night’s episode was the first one that could be compared to, say, a bad episode of “Arrow.”

(And the shocker turncoat Ward is deep-undercover! I’m not tricked! 🙂 )

And Fury’s in the Season Finale!

With Marvel planning to release movies for, well, forever, it looks like a new age–the Marvel Age of Media. 🙂 Marvel has gotten so cocky, it’s scheduling “Cap 3” against Superman, Batman AND Wonder Woman! LOL! 🙂

Archie Comics Is Killing Archie Andrews In July?!? WTF?!?

This is (and soon, was) the only Archie title I’ve ever read from No. 1, subscribed to and collected. It was a good book, but I did feel it was running out of steam.

But this……GOSH! 🙂

I gotta give Archie Comics credit. The company has learned how to be relevant in the/to teens (See this story’s accompanying video).  🙂  Gay characters who get married. Zombies (watch the scary trailer!). Marrying Archie off–not just to Betty and Veronica, but even to fine-ass Valerie from Josie and the Pussycats!

But this……GOSH! 🙂

Here are the variant covers to Nos. 36 and 37:
