Marvel Brings Back Long Dead SPIDER-MAN Character

00.07 Bilal Chamdy No comments

Welcome to your mid-week edition of Comics Relief, comics fans! To start our collection of comics news off this week, we have the scoop on a long gone character from Spider-Manâ€™s past that Iâ€™m not entirely sure anyone was really clamoring to have back. But they are back anyway, like it or not. Read on for all the details!

Proving that absolutely no one stays dead in comics forever, even characters no one really liked in the first place, Marvel Comics revealed Wednesday as part of their ongoing Spider-Man-centricÂ >Clone Conspiracy storyline that the mastermind villain behind Peter Parkerâ€™s current drama is none other than Ben Reilly, the infamous Spider-Clone who also once went by the name the Scarlet Spider.

Dan Slottâ€™s The Clone ConspiracyÂ has had Spider-Man dealing with a medical tech company called New U, which was producing â€œmiraclesâ€, bringing people who wereÂ once believed to be fatally sickÂ or gravely wounded back from the brink of death. Peter naturally thought this all too good to be true, and he was right â€" turns out the people â€œsavedâ€ go a wee bit crazy.

But the leader of New U wasnâ€™t Peterâ€™s old nemesis Miles Warren, AKAÂ the Jackal, as he once thought. Turns out itâ€™s none other than Ben Reilly, the Spider-Clone was was once thought to be the real Peter Parker himself. Last time we saw him was 20 years ago, where he literally melted away in front of Peter. But whatâ€™s a little disintegration between clones? The new Clone Conspiracy story is only half over, so weâ€™ll see if Ben Reilly sticks around this time. If he does, I hope he gets a better costume and name than â€œthe Scarlet Spider.â€ [Comic Book]

Another Marvel event coming soon is >Monsters Unleashed,Â a five-issue miniseries which hits stores in January, which features Marvelâ€™s heroes fighting off the giant monsters who ruled at the publisher before the era of super-heroes. Now MarvelÂ has released a special behind-the-scenes video detailing the event, and giving fans a sneak peek at the artwork. You can watch the full video above.

Frank Miller is still knee-deep in >Dark Knight III:Â The Master Race, but it seems he wonâ€™t be done with DC Comics once that story has concluded. During a panel featuring Miller at the recent Brazil Comic-Con Experience, the >Sin City creatorÂ revealed plans for what he hopes will be his next DC project, saying â€œI have a fixation by World War II and Iâ€™m talking to DC on a project with their heroes at that time.â€ Could this be the big >DCÂ RebirthÂ version of the Justice Society of America relaunch thatâ€™s been hinted at? Or a Superman story set in WWII? Only time will tell. [CBR]

Aside from the JSA, another missing team from DCâ€™s history that might be making a comeback soon is the Legion of Super-Heroes. Although the team has always had strong ties to the Superman family, they are now being teased by writer Tom King in the pages of >Batman.

In recent issues of Batman, we see Legion founder Saturn Girl is, for some reason, in Arkham Asylum. In an interview, King said â€œWe saw one of the pieces in Batman #9 with Saturn Girl, who was also in DC Universe: Rebirth #1 and plays a role in the story going forward. Sheâ€™s in Gotham City, and she is in Arkham Asylumâ€¦ Weâ€™ll see what that means both to her and the Legion of Super-Heroes.â€ [CBR]

Last week, Valiant Comics released a teaser image for their new >X-O Manowar relaunch, and now we have the details on this new series. According to theÂ official description, writer Matt Kindt will begin this new iteration of the character â€œby separating Aric from his armor and sending him to a far-flung alien planet and continue into a yearlong science-fiction epic split into different arcs.â€

Each of these arcs will be drawn by a separate rising star artist, with each artistic interpretation meant to reflect the different stages of Aricâ€™s latest journey. Weâ€™ll go Â from â€œSoldierâ€ to â€œGeneralâ€ to â€œEmperorâ€ to â€œVisigoth.â€ Â X-O Manowar #1 is set to hit stores March 22, 2017, and for more info on the new series, be sure to click on the following link: [Entertainment Weekly]

When most people hear the name Jack Kirby, they think of the man who co-created the bulk of the Marvel Universe icons, like The Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, the Hulk, etc. And while he did work at DC for a time, and created their vast New Gods mythology, he isnâ€™t known for any significant runs featuring their iconic characters like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

Except once. In 1984, as a tie-in to their >Super Powers toyline, DC produced a series of mini-series featuring the Justice League under the Super Powers banner, and drawn by the legendary Kirby. This is the only time Kirby drew characters like the Flash, Green Lantern or Wonder Woman, and they are all now finally being collected in hardcover format after thirty years. The collection will come out on August 29th for $34.99, and it will collect Super Powers Vol. 1 #1-5, Super Powers Vol. 2 #1-6 and Super Powers Vol. 3 #1-4. [Bleeding Cool]

Brian Michael Bendisâ€™ current crossover epicÂ >Civil War II got an extra issue to wrap up from Marvel, but artist David Marquez is getting some help to wrap this sucker up. Seven additional artists are joining Marquez to complete the delayed final issue.

Civil War II #8 will now have 32 pages by Marquez with eight additional pages, which are being described as a â€œspecial top secret interior sequenceâ€, will be drawn by artists Esad Ribic, Leinil Yu, Adam Kubert, Alan Davis, Mark Bagley, Marco Rudy, and Daniel Acuna. The release date for Civil War II #8 remains set at December 28, an eight-week delay from the originally solicited November 2 release date. [Newsarama]

Marvel's The Inhumans has found its showrunner

00.07 Bilal Chamdy No comments

Marvel has zeroed in on theÂ showrunnerÂ for theirÂ InhumansÂ TV series:Â and they didnâ€™t have to look farther than their own backyard to find the right man for the job.

So, who justÂ landed the no-doubt EPIC gig? The Hollywood ReporterÂ recently broke the news that Iron Fist showrunner Scott Buck (Dexter) will continue his relationship with Marvel by steering the ship for Marvelâ€™s The InhumansÂ (which is not an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff). Iâ€™m guessing Buck got the jobÂ because the Marvel powers-that-be liked what they saw with Iron Fist. Which is making me even more excited for the upcoming Netflix superhero series, as well asÂ The Inhumans. Are we 2017 yet?

The Inhumans were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1965 for the pages of Marvel Comics and featured a race of â€œsuperhumans with diverse and singularly unique powers.â€ The new MarvelÂ seriesÂ (a co-production among Marvel, IMAX and ABC) based on the comics will â€œexplore the never-before-told epic adventure of Black Bolt and the royal family.â€

Meaning that the show will feature Black Bolt, Medusa, Crystal, Gorgon, Karnak, Triton and Lockjaw in their first live-action appearance ever (I soooo canâ€™t wait to see that). It was also recently revealed that some of the action for the new series willÂ take place on the moon, which I'm sure will look totally mind-blowingÂ on the big screen since (and forÂ the first time ever) Marvel will debut the first two episodes exclusively on IMAX theaters (itâ€™ll be filmed in IMAX digital cameras) for two weeks beginning on Labor Day Weekend 2017 before kicking off its eight-episode run on ABC in September.

What do you think about Scott Buck coming on board Marvel's The Inhumans as showrunner?

Marvel pulls no punches in 2017 with new Iron Fist comic

15.30 Bilal Chamdy No comments

Donâ€™t let your guard down next year, because thereâ€™s a brand new hard-hitting solo series coming for Danny Rand, also known as the immortal Iron Fist. As announced this morning by The Hollywood Reporter, the new series â€" simply titled Iron FistÂ â€" will be helmed by Ed Brisson, writer of The Violent and the upcoming Bullseye, and veteran artist Mike Perkins, best known recently for his work on Captain America and The Stand.

The first issue will drop in March, and will take heavy inspiration from 2006â€™s Immortal Iron Fist and from the characterâ€™s most recent series Iron Fist: The Living Weapon, which left Danny and the mystical city of Kâ€™un Lun in veryÂ tenuous positions. Writer Ed Brisson talked to THR about where readers will find them as the new series begins:

â€œAs for where Kâ€™un-Lun is and how that affects Danny â€¦ Thatâ€™s going to be a large part of what this first arc is about. Kâ€™un-Lun is the source of his powers and now that the city lays in ruins, Dannyâ€™s connection is severed. This affects his ability to actually be Iron Fist. His whole identity seems to be slipping away from him and he doesnâ€™t know how to hold onto it.â€

This will run concurrently with the current Power Man and Iron Fist buddy book, and is obviously meant to pick up readers that come into shops after their interest is piqued by Marvel and Netflixâ€™s live action Iron Fist series, which is set to release on March 17. But this announcement left many fans wondering what this news meant for Iron Fists,Â a seriesÂ by Kaare Andrews and Afu Chan announced back in July. The series was to feature Danny training the next Iron Fist, a young girl named Pei, but there has been no news since. Luckily, Andrews confirmed on Twitter this morning that the series is still coming.

Iâ€™m a huge Iron Fist fan, so I will take all the Danny Rand Marvel wants to dish out, and Iron Fist has a top-notch creative team that looks set to build upon the wonderful mythology that has already been established for the character. Does the new series have you ready to punch a dragon in the heart? Check out the awesome first issue cover by Jeff Dekal, thenÂ let us know in the comments below.

The marvel and magic of reindeer antlers : TreeHugger

12.30 Bilal Chamdy No comments

If youâ€™ve ever wondered where reindeer get their powers from, look no further than those towering crowns of bone.

OK, so science hasnâ€™t actually proven that reindeer can fly and thus I can neither confirm nor deny that magical power. But, reindeer do have some very impressive tricks up their sleeves â€¦ or atop their heads as the case may be. Their antlers are nothing short of remarkable.

The latest installment of the KQED San Francisco DEEP LOOK video series is all about antlers. Itâ€™s fascinating â€" and sparked some sleuthing into the many wonders that the amazing antler beholds. Seriously, they really are a marvel. Consider the nine following facts, and then see more about these impressive appendages in the video below.

1. Antlers are bones that sprout from the head. Can you image how handy that could come in for us humans? Sadly for us antler-covetous, itâ€™s a gift bestowed only upon reindeer, elk, and their cervid kin, like moose and deer.

2. Antlers are generally reserved only for the males since testosterone is required for them to sprout, but reindeer are an equal opportunity antler-provider â€" the lady reindeers get antlers too. Badass.

3. Males use their antlers during mating season to woo and fend off other reindeer Romeos. But once mating season is over, testosterone drops and the antlers fall off â€" though a new set starts growing almost immediately. They increase in size each year until the animal reaches senior citizen status, and then they begin shrinking.

4. When the antlers are growing, they are upholstered in a fuzzy sheath of skin and fur called velvet. It is filled with special nerves and carries blood and nutrient to help build the bone it covers. Like living nurturing fur, how cool is that?

5. The velvet is extra sensitive to the touch, which encourages the antlers' owners to take much care with them until they are strong and ready to rumble.

6. Once the antlers are hard and ready, after about three months, the blood stops flowing and the velvet cracks and begins to peel off, revealing the shiny new set of bony branches.

7. Unlike our bones, which have nerves in them and hurt like heck when we break them, the bone of antler has no nerves and can thus become mighty weapons.

8. Antlers are not horns; horns are made from keratin and remain firmly attached to the animal throughout its life.

9. Scientists are fascinated by the nerves in antlers that allow them to regenerate year after year â€" which is unique among mammals â€" and they are looking at ways that this process could help humans who have suffered debilitating nerve damage.

Marvel announces Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 'Yo-Yo' Rodriguez spinoff miniseries

17.00 Bilal Chamdy No comments

Last nightâ€™s winter finale of Marvelâ€™s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ended the Ghost Rider arc in epic fashion (Robbie! Noooo!!!) while dramatically kicking off the LMD arc.

The episode also saw the return of Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez (Natalia Cordova-Buckley) â€" the Inhuman with the power of running pretty darn fast before snapping back into place (just like a yo-yo) â€" who was last seen in the Season 4 premiere, "The Ghost."Â If you're a fan ofÂ the character (or if you're a fan of anything and everythingÂ Marvel), then this news will send you over the moon, because at the conclusion of â€œThe Law of Inferno Dynamics,â€ Marvel announced that it was making a spinoff miniseries titled â€œSlingshotâ€ (full title: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot). But there is a tiny catch: It'll be a digital one.

The cool reveal was made at the end of the new promo for the LMD arc set to kick off on Jan. 10.Â The promo is an open invitationÂ to â€œwitness Agent Yo-Yoâ€™s secret mission in an all-new, six-part digital miniseries.â€ Marvelâ€™s new series will premiere on Dec. 13 and viewers will be able to stream the new episodes on the ABC app as well as ABC.com. It'sÂ no Agent CarterÂ (yes, I'm still crying over it. What can I say?), but I'll be looking forward to seeing Yo-Yo's adventures.

In an interview with Natalia Cordova-Buckley, the actress revealed that the miniseries will take place between the events of Seasons 3 and 4Â (maybe we'll get to see those "dates" between Yo-Yo and Mac and her helping Daisy), saying:

â€œIn â€˜Slingshot,â€™ weâ€™re going to see a lot of her anger and her pain come out in regard to certain injustices that have been done to her and her family, but at the same time, she never loses her humanity. She doesnâ€™t let the anger blind her.â€

Here's an official description for the MarvelÂ miniseries:

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot takes place shortly before the beginning of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4. The digital series features Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez, an Inhuman with the ability to move at super-speed. As a person with powers, she must sign the Sokovia Accords. However, the restrictions of the Accords are in direct conflict with a personal mission she's desperate to fulfill, one that will test her abilities and will include tense encounters with S.H.I.E.L.D. team members.
