Nova and the Guardians of the Galaxy return to Marvel! by dailypop Marvel Comics has a great variety of titles that run the gamut of superheroics in the Avengers and X-Men books, street-level crime-fighting with Daredevil and the Punisher and of course cosmic adventure including the likes of the Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock and the Guardians of the Galaxy. While books like the Avengers and Punisher have been steadily successful, interest in the cosmic books has wavered in comparison. A number of years back, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning brought the cosmic universe of Marvel Comics back in their expansive Annihilation series which spawned an ongoing Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy series in addition to several sequels. That era eventually came to end with The Annihilators, but it's about to start all over again and it looks a bit different this time around... Newsarama: Saturday at the annual New York Comic Con, Marvel Comics announced that its top writer Brian Michael Bendis was joining with Civil War artist Steve McNiven to launch an all-new Guardians of the Galaxy series. This new comics series is in line with the announcement earlier this year that Marvel was working on a movie version of the space-based superhero team to go at odds with Thanos, the purple-skinned antagonist teased in the mid-credits scene to Marvel's The Avengers movie. Also announced was Marvel's Head of Television Jeph Loeb was teaming with his long-time collaborator Ed McGuinness to work on a new series featuring Nova, a helmeted teenage hero thrust into space to act as its protector and guardian. The all new Guardians of the Galaxy features the most recent cast of the team (Starlord, Groot, Rocket Racoon, Drax, Gamora) alongside a new recruit: Iron Man. Described by Marvel as a team "to tackle the threats too big for the Avengers," this title will have a new mission statement that previous iterations of the book. The series will launch in February with a special #0.1 issue followed by the official #1 in March. Also launching in February is Nova, a flagship character in the cosmic corner of the Marvel Universe and someone who played an integral role in the recently concluded Avengers Vs. X-Men event series. Loeb, who will write this in addition to guiding Marvel's television ambitions, joins with an artist who worked with him on numerous series from Superman/Batman to Hulk and last Spring's Avengers: X-Sanction, Ed McGuinness. In this new series, Loeb and McGuinness will showcase a new teenager under the Nova helmet, Sam Alexander. dailypop | October 13, 2012 at 9:10 pm | Tags: marvel comics, marvel comics guardians of the galaxy, nova | Categories: Marvel | URL: http://wp.me/p4kUt-4dq Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

Halloween movie: ‘Skeletons’ by dailypop This Halloween, I wanted to promote some movies that are perfect for the season. Some are films that I have seen and love, others I have just heard of and still more come from friends and online connections. I hope to have many more suggestions leading up to the 31st, so watch this space. Skeletons (2010) First off is Skeletons which comes as a suggestion from John Caples. An independent film, it earned some acclaim at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Low-fi, yet clever and inventive, this is a movie that could appeal to fans of cult films that blend fantasy and comedy with more imagination than spangle and effects. Written and directed by Nick Whitfield "Stick to the rules, tell them everything, leave and never come back" In this surreal comedy, Davis and Bennett are a mismatched pair of traveling salesman, operatives, in the business of cleaning skeletons from closets. Together they travel across Britain, wandering in and out of other people's lives, performing the 'Procedure' whereby hidden secrets and lies are exposed. They literally bring the skeletons out of the closet. Trailer Skeletons is available for instant viewing through Amazon dailypop | October 12, 2012 at 12:42 pm | Tags: halloween, horror, paranormal, skeletons movie | Categories: cult movies | URL: http://wp.me/p4kUt-4dj Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.
