Two Years of Popculturing, Thor 2 release date, and a new Cap poster!

Today is July 1st, and besides Transformers: Dark of the Moon opening in cinemas this week, it marks the celebration of two years running this blog and reporting news on the popculture spectrum. I wouldn't have imagined myself to keep it maintained and going, but here we are now. I'll be commemorating the occasion with something special soon, so sit on tight and keep refreshing those browsers.;) For now, it's back to the updates!

Marvel.com has released this slick new international poster for Captain America: The First Avenger! It's a cool one sheet with the entire cast of the movie lined up with a maskless Chris Evans/ Captain America in the front, while a huge head of Hugo Weaving's Red Skull looks over with mean eyes over the background. You can check out more info and details from the source post at Marvel.com!

Movie blog and news site Screen Rant reports that "Thor 2" has been given a official release date, and it will appear under the Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Entertainment banner come July 26, 2013! Yes, the God of Thunder will be joining his fellow Avenger Iron Man the following year after "Avengers" hits theaters on May 4, 2012, so since Ol' Shellhead's next sequel, "Iron Man 3", is slated for a May 3, 2013 release date, Thor 2 shows nearly three months after that! Unfortunately, Kenneth Branagh won't be returning to direct the film, so the only question now is who can follow in his footsteps? For more info, visit the source post at Screen Rant.

A First Look at DC's "Flashpoint" Poster!

In case you missed it, DC has releases the first pencils of what looks to be the first cover/ poster promoting their next big event this summer - "Flashpoint". Penned by legendary writer Geoff Johns and illustrated by Andy Kubert, this five issue miniseries will chronicle the drastic time altering changes in the DC Universe that affect our world, and it ties directly to an event involving The Flash. In effect, everyone and anyone you know in the DCU won't be the same. Next to the main story, a series of tie-ins have been announced, expanding the tale and giving readers a chance to catch up with their favorite characters... who are barely recognizable at this point. For the complete list of books and more info, visit DC's official blog The Source!

A New Look and One Year...

Howdy Guys,

A year ago, I started this blog for the very simple reason of writing my interests surrounding the hobby world. I never expected to keep up to date with my entries, and honestly, I kept this blog as a means of filtering out my

Yet here we are now.

Today, Pop Culture Crusader turns a year old, and what comes with that is 12 months worth of blood, sweat, and tears shed over the numerous posts I've made on everything and anything popculture. I don't have any formal speeches or mushy stuff to convey at this point, but rest assured, this blog will keep on going, and continue to serve up some warm and handy info and links on the nice things we like to watch, enjoy, and play around with for entertainment. To commemorate this occasion, I have tweaked and redesigned the sight a little, just to give a fresh new look. It can still be reached at the same url, so no need to update those bookmarks and links. However, this is far from the finalized look, and changes may come over time.

Speaking of changes, the entries may be less frequent than usual, meaning this 24/7 routine will probably cease at this point (again, PROBABLY). If and when there's news or something interesting to post, I won't hesitate. However, I think the time has come to cool my engines and keep things in moderation. Right now, I'd like to take time to relax and contemplate on how far along things have come since then... and look forward to the future.

Again, welcome to the show folks... and Happy Anniversary PCC!

The Beginning Of Things To Come...

Hello guys, and welcome to The Crusader's Realm. Here you will find news, rumors, updates, and much about anything having to do with the world of popculture. It could be comics, anime, games, and even something as little as a stuffed toy from a toy store you just happened to see in the malls, hehe. Topics aren't limited to these though, so this is a heads up that you can expect anything to happen at any given day, hehe.

It's funny, this website has been in the makings for a long time, and I finally got the ball rolling for it. I already do some posting in my other blogs, but somewhere along the way I knew it was time to formalize things and start something that's centered solely on my interests alone. We're already half a year done this 2009, and this is the perfect jumping in point to introduce something more up my alley than just a page dedicated to random trivia. Expect to see reviews, pictures, and even videos in the coming posts ahead. With that, I welcome you all again to the show. Enjoy.;) - Timster
