Marvel Team-Up: Watch the First Two 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' Trailers!

01.30 Bilal Chamdy No comments

Spider-Man finally came home to Marvel Studios earlier this year, and he made quite the debut inÂ Captain America: Civil War, where he wasÂ Tony Starkâ€™s trump card against Captain Americaâ€™s rebel Avengers. The team-up of Spider-Man and Iron Man was a total crowd-pleaser, so it makes sense that Marvel would want to play up their relationship in the first two previews forÂ Spider-Man: Homecoming, but thereâ€™s so much Tony Stark in these trailers that it almost looks more like an old-fashioned â€œMighty Marvel Team-Upâ€ than a solo Spidey movie.

Of course, Marvel Studios didnâ€™t reacquire the rights to Spider-Man just to make another, completely solo superhero movie. Sony has been producing those for the better part of a decade. And certainly everybody loves seeing Robert Downey Jr. play Tony Stark again and again, so Iâ€™mÂ not complaining about that either. But I do hope that Iron Man doesnâ€™t completely steal the movie away from Spider-Man. Peter Parker isÂ a great superhero in his own right, and he deserves an opportunity to really shine again, and this is his first real opportunityÂ in quite a few years after the disappointing (and failed)Â Amazing Spider-ManÂ reboot.

Everything else about these previews â€" one domestic, one international, both fairly similar â€" looks just dandy. The focus is one the heroes instead of the villain, The Vulture, played by Michael Keaton (hot off his Oscar-nominated turn as the superheroÂ Birdman, funnily enough). The Vulture looks like a high-tech bank robber, which is par for the course with Spidey. Hopefully the future previews will make it clearer why the Vulture is a serious threat, because after taking on half the Avengers inÂ CaptainÂ America: Civil War (including Falcon, a flying guy), another flying guy doesnâ€™t seem like much of a threat to him right now.

Thereâ€™s a lot of unanswered questions here, and a lot of the movie we are obviously not seeing. These first previews are Marvelâ€™s attempt to grab our attention, and take advantage of the marketing potential for teaming Spider-Man up with Iron Man one more time. It may be that those scenes are only a small percentage of the movie, and this is just an advertising ploy. Itâ€™s too early to say for certain. All we can say for sure is that these previews look pretty good so far, and that weâ€™re looking forward to seeing the film for ourselves whenÂ Spider-Man: HomecomingÂ hits theaters on July 7, 2017.

X-MEN: PRIME Ushers in a New Era for Marvelâ€™s Mutants

17.00 Bilal Chamdy No comments

Weâ€™ve got a ton of Marvel Comics news in this, your weekend edition of Comics Relief! Aside from all the Marvel news, we also have the scoop on a major indie publisher getting in on the superhero shared universe, plus more comics announcements. Read on for all the details!

With the titles and creative teams announced now for theÂ >X-Men RessurXionÂ run (see our item down below for the final one), Marvel has announced thatâ€"in order to get the entire Mutant Renaissance goingâ€"they are releasing a one-shot special called X-Men: Prime. The name itself callsÂ back to the teamâ€™s heyday, as X-Men: Prime was also the special that relaunched the team after >Age of Apocalypse in 1995.

X-Editor Daniel Ketchum said, â€œResurrXion is all about embracing the [X-Menâ€™s] original dream of coexisting with humans and fighting together to make a better world. All the books in some way, shape, or form, embrace that idea. Weâ€™re going to get back to flights, and tights, and capes, and all the classic X-Men tropes. We very much want to harken back to that era where itâ€™s the most classic iteration of the X-Men.â€

One tidbit Ketchum dropped in the X-Men: Prime announcement was that the >X-Men: Blue teamâ€"which features the original five membersâ€"would addÂ another female to the team. Considering that former X-23 and current Wolverine Laura Kinney is on the cover, Iâ€™d say she is a good bet to join the gang. For more from Ketchum on X-Men: Prime, plus sketches of the teamâ€™s new/old costumes, click on the following link: [Entertainment Weekly]

The last X-Men: ResurrXion title to get their creative team announced was the new >Cable series, but this week Marvel finally gave us the details. The new book will be coming from writer James Robinson, who wrote Cable for a stint in the â€™90s, along with artist Carlos Pacheco. The new ongoing series will focus on Cable as a time jumping warrior. You can see preview artwork for the new series above.

According to Robinson, â€œTime travel is part of his make-up in almost every aspect of his history â€" no pun intended. This series will be Cable on a race against time to fix time. The reason Cable must take on this quest will reveal itself as the story and mystery unfolds, but heâ€™s doing it for the sake of the Marvel Universe, which will fall apart if he doesnâ€™t take action.â€ For more on the new Cable book, click on the following link: [Marvel]

For decades, publisher Fantagraphics was the ultimate anti-mainstream comics publisher. Home of such notable works as >Love and Rockets and >Eightball, you couldnâ€™t find a cape and tights anywhere near a Fantagraphics logo. That changes in 2017 though, as the indie publisher has announced plans to launch a line of superhero books under the banner All Time Comics.

The new line was started by alternative cartoonist and writer Josh Bayer, created with his brother Samuel Bayer (director behind music videos like Nirvana classic â€œSmells Like Teen Spiritâ€ and the not-so-classic remake of >A Nightmare on Elm. St).

The All Time line will have six individual but interconnected superhero stories featuring both veteran mainstream artists and some lesser known, indie cartoonists. The series launches this springÂ with Crime Destroyer #1, (for which you can see a teaser image for above), featuring the last art of longtimeÂ >Incredible Hulk artist Herb Trimpe who passed away last year. All Time Comics begins in March from Fantagraphics. For more info on the new line, be sure to click here: [CBR]

In anticipation of Danny Randâ€™s upcoming Netflix debut, Marvel has announced plans for a new >Iron Fist ongoing series, from writer Ed Brisson and artist Mike Perkins. The new series will debut in March and pick up where the Kaare Andrews 2015 Iron Fist: The Living Weapon series left off.

Brisson said in a statement, â€œDannyâ€™s in a weird place. Heâ€™s questioning who he is and heâ€™s pushing himself. Heâ€™s a person filled with self-doubt, but heâ€™s always going to have his sense of humor about him â€" even if heâ€™s using it to cover his own pain. Heâ€™s an outsider whoâ€™s always trying to fit in, trying to find a place where he belongs.â€

Iron Fist will continue to star in the >Power Man and Iron Fist series, and will also take center stage in another title, Iron Fists, by Kaare Andrews and Afu Chan. The new Iron FirstÂ hits in March, and you can see a teaser for issue #1 above. [The Hollywood Reporter]

Maybe as a way of cosmically balancing out the dark and sexy version of Archie, Jughead, and friends heading to the CW next year inÂ >Riverdale, publisher Archie Comics is now teasing an even more wholesome version of their flagship characters. Archie Comics has posted a teaser image to their Facebook page featuring the outline of what looks like a tiny Archie Andrews and the words â€œBaltazar. Franco. LITTLE.â€

Looks like the creators of Tiny Titans and Itty Bitty HellboyÂ Art Baltazar and Franco are coming out with a cute kid version of Archie and friends. The image features the heading â€œMarch, 2017â€, so it looks like we wonâ€™t have to wait long for this one. You can see the new teaser image above. [CBR]

If you guessed that >Goosebumps creator R.L. Stineâ€˜sÂ upcoming work for Marvel was going to be centered around a monster type character, then you get a cookie and a gold star, as the publisher has announced R.L. Stine as the new writer behind their upcoming >Man-Thing series, a five-issue miniseries featuring the fearsome swamp beast.

Artist German Peralta will partner on the miniseries, and Stine will write theÂ backup stories, which will have a new artist for each issue. The mainÂ story of the series will revolve around Tedâ€™s attempt to escape his fate as the Man-Thing for good.Â For the full scoop on this new series, check out our full story right here: [Nerdist]

And finally, this week saw the release of >Wonder Woman â€™77 Meets the Bionic Woman from Dynamite Entertainment and DC Comics. (You can read our review of issue #1 right here). The series had no shortage of artists who wanted to contribute artÂ for the historic meeting of these feminist icons, and several produced covers for various retailer exclusives, including â€™90s >Catwoman artist Jim Balent, Ben Caldwell, Mike McKone, Dan Parent, Andrew Pepoy, and J Bone. You can see each of the covers down below in our gallery. [Bleeding Cool]
