Another New Costume For Spider-Man?

Apparently so as you can see from the picture above via Newsarama, and looks like Spidey's going to go "flavor of the month" around once or twice depending on the circustances during his new bi-weekly routine this November when "Brand New Day" ends and "Big Time" happens. At this year's SDCC, Dan Slott was announced as the sole writer for Amazing Spider-Man post BND, and joining him will be three artists rotating - namely Humberto Ramos, Stefano Caselli and Marcos Martin. The artpiece above is by Humberto Ramos, and in addtion to giving Peter Parker a black costume with neo green lights, it looks like he redesigned the Hobgoblin as well. Purists can breath a sigh of relief to know that Spider-Man will still be donning his traditional garb, but I guess those wacky costume variant action figures we see from toy lines will finally see the light of day... or not.

Thor Update: The Trailer From SDCC!

Last week's San Diego Comic Con had tons and tons of comic related stuff, especially news concerning upcoming film adaptations of superhero characters we all know and love from those books! DC was priming fans up with next year's Green Lantern flick, while Marvel had a lot to say about 2011's Thor and Captain America, as well as the following year's super team-up movie - The Avengers! That being said, exclusive footage was aired to those in attendance at the con, and from what I've heard, Thor and Cap were pretty amazing! It's exciting to imagine what these movies will be like as their release dates inch closer, but it's still about a year away before we see any trailers pop in.

However, the internet never sleeps with things like these, and by some miracle or coincidence, the 5 minute Thor trailer everyone has been talking about in the SDCC found it's way online! The news broke out in several websites like Screen Rant, and it was only a matter of time before it was put up and eventually taken off in You Tube. Screen Rant's post however has a link where you can view the leaked trailer, and it's exciting stuff that fleshes out the story of the God Of Thunder, whose carelessness and greed has him cast down to Earth by none other than his own father, Odin (played by Anthony Hopkins). Thor (Chris Hemsworth), now powerless, finds himself in a road of retribution, learning humility and struggling to get back his power and to Asgard so that he can defend it from the evil forces secretly at work to invade it before they put an end to his kingdom once and for all.

Excited already? You should be, and everything about this trailer spells SPOILER and tie ins to Iron Man, so better view at your own risk! You can check out the trailer here (if it's still up)!

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Update: The Full Roster Revealed?

Via a post in Newsarama, there's word out that a reader from PS3 French fan site "PS3Gen" may have cracked the list by viewing the source code from Capcom's Japanese site to see the complete roster of the upcoming 2011 crossover game, Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds! Now, this is still speculation, and no confirmation has been established about who's appearing other than the characters already revealed like Ryu, Thor, and Chris Redfield, but this is the list that appeared in the article. Take it with a grain of salt and see it for yourself:

Marvel Side:

Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine, Mr. Fantastic, Captain America, Iron Man, War Machine, Elektra, Thor, X-23, Magneto, Dr. Doom, Shuma-Gorath, Emma Frost, Deadpool, Super Skrull, Taskmaster, Juggernaut, She Hulk.

Capcom Side:

Ryu, Mike Haggar, Frank West, Chuck, Spencer (Bionic Commando), Dante, Chris Redfield, Morrigan, Arthur, Amaterasu, Albert Wesker, Zero, Chun-Li, Viewtiful Joe, Trish, Tron Bonne, Hsien-Ko, Akuma, Felicia.

Hmmm, quite a list, but the Newsarama article also has an update stating that the SDCC confirmed no Fantastic Four members would be present in the game, indicating this list could be interpreted as "fake". It's nice to imagine that the ones mentioned above could be appearing in the game, but still, where are the other fan favorite characters like Venom and Strider Hiryu? Definitely must be a fake!

Comics and Games Collide!

Two of THE BEST in stealth and combat side by side. This image practically made my day!

As seen in a link in Kotaku, The Examiner has posted up four images of comic book heroes and video game characters together, as illustrated by artist David Stonecipher. They're nicely done pieces, and my favorite happens to be the one you see above - Solid Snake and Batman prowling the night and looking to beat trouble senseless. Comic vs Video Game personalities isn't exactly a new trend, and it's making a comeback with the return of the Marvel Vs Capcom series next year, but it's fun to imagine who else can tussle and team up together from those two different worlds. You can check out more mix ups at this link, or just enjoy imagining who wins the Hulk Vs Donkey Kong battle here:

SDCC 2010: New Green Lantern Posters and The Infinity Gauntlet from Thor!

This year's San Diego Comic Con continues to bring in the comic related goodies, as more exciting material from Green Lantern and Thor popped up, giving fans a lot to talk about!

First up, Warner Bros. has released four new character promo posters for the GL Movie, featuring the mugshots of Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Mark Strong, and Peter Sarsgaard. They form two pairs to complete the image of the Green Lantern Symbol, and my, does it look epic already! Check out the one of Mr. Reynolds here, who plays the role of none other than Earth's first GL, Hal Jordan!

Looking pretty good there WB and DC! Green Lantern still opens on fall next year, so in the meantime, check out the other character posters over at Superhero hype!

Next up, Marvel Studios have released a final tease for their Thor movie after the confirmation and revelation of The Destroyer. Words simply cannot describe the surprise I felt when I saw the image of this artifact, and maybe it's best that you take a look and judge how this fits in the God Of Thunder's movie...

There it is - THE INFINITY GAUNTLET, as shown in Marvel.com. Yes, the same infinity gauntlet that holds the six powerful Infinity Gems, namely Power, Time, Reality, Soul, Space, and Mind. If any of you are familiar with the space villain known as Thanos, he's the guy who used the power of the gauntlet to try and dominate the universe in the classic comic book saga known as "The Infinity War". That story was also the theme used in Capcom's Marvel Superheroes, with Thanos as the final boss, using the Gauntlet to beat the living crap out of players. How this fits into Thor is beyond me, but one thing is for sure, it's going to be epic!

Thor premieres on May 6, 2011! For more info on the movie and the gauntlet, visit Marvel.com!
