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]

â€˜Marvel Vs. Capcom 4â€™: Is Capcom Preparing To Reveal New Fighting Game At PlayStation Experience? [Rumor]

23.29 Bilal Chamdy No comments

Could it be time to tag into big combos and assists in a new fighting game?

Rumors have begun to spread like wildfire. The Marvel Vs. Capcom series is rumored to be getting a new installment, and the internet is abuzz with the hopes that developer Capcom will listen to their hype.

The Marvel Vs. Capcom community has been wanting this to happen for years. Support for Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is nonexistent, and the game has been left for players to figure out what remaining tech they can get out of it. Even players such as IFC Yipes, perhaps the most iconic individual to have stepped onto the Marvel scene, is hoping that a new title is in the works.

Is Marvel Vs. Capcom 4 Really in the Works? https://t.co/EA6lIrLJDb pic.twitter.com/cC2XNPtvgP

â€" Comic Book Resources (@CBR) November 27, 2016

It would make sense that Marvel Vs. Capcom 4 be turned into a reality. The reception of rumors alone has sparked prayers from fighting game enthusiasts. In terms of hype and excitement, Marvel Vs. Capcom exhibition and tournament matches are among the most explosive and unpredictable. Of course, this has dwindled over time. As with all things, even the most complex of tech is able to be hidden from those who hope to crack the game for its ridiculous combos and strategies. Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 has seen its fair share of Doom, Morrigan, Vergil, Sentinel, and Akuma. The list goes on, and a new Marvel Vs. Capcom game would breathe new life into players and their desire to pick up the sticks.

Where did the rumors originate? According to a report by Eventhubs, leaked images have surfaced across the internet that appear to be in reference to a new Marvel Vs. Capcom title. As you can see, the number â€œ4â€ stands alone with their respective logos beneath it. Many reports thereafter have stated that these images are fake, but fans are hoping that thereâ€™s still something in the works.

Why wouldnâ€™t Capcom want to jump on the opportunity to bring out a new game of such epic possibility? It would certainly help in the financial department. Pro gamers and casuals alike can enjoy the insanity of watching multiple characters duke it out in teams of three. Ryu beating the stuffing out of Wolverine again? Vice versa? Dream matches are achieved through the inclusion of each companyâ€™s iconic characters jumping onto consoles and arcades.

No updates for Marvel Vs Capcom 4 on the horizon https://t.co/woGIYqYwfm

Still, the hype for Marvel Vs. Capcom 4 is just that: hype. According to Tech Raptor, director Ryota Niitsuma has all but crushed the hopes of fans with Twitter posts debunking the rumor that a new game was in development. He responded to inquiry about Marvel Vs. Capcom 4.

haha Reaction is fast! It's a really good idea. but Unfortunately I'm not in that division right now. @JWonggg marvel 4?

â€" Ryota Niitsuma (@Ryota_Niitsuma) July 18, 2016

Thanks for keeping the love for the game going! I would love to make #mvc4, but nothing's happening on that front. RT @PG_Erdogan @JWonggg N

â€" Ryota Niitsuma (@Ryota_Niitsuma) September 27, 2016

As you can see, it looks as though we wonâ€™t be seeing a new title for some time. Fans remain hopeful, as the cry for a new Marvel Vs. Capcom is visually evident.

Whatever the case, Marvel Vs. Capcom 4 would be a step in the right direction. Of course, there would be plenty of licensing and other tape to cross. It wouldnâ€™t be easy to throw characters into the mix without the proper steps being taken, but that would be a small drop in the bucket of hype that Marvel Vs. Capcom has developed over the years.

For now, games like Street Fighter V and Tekken 7 will have to satisfy fighting game players. Both games have plenty of life in them, and you can bet that weâ€™ll be seeing support for these titles and others for a long time.

What are your thoughts on the possibility of Marvel Vs. Capcom 4? Do you believe that a new title would boost or harm the community as a whole? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

â€œRectifyâ€ Is a Quiet Marvel

23.29 Bilal Chamdy No comments

> Daniel was convicted of a brutal but ambiguous crime. Now that heâ€™s out of prison, everyone wants clarity. Credit Illustration by Tomer Hanuka In the first episode of â€œRectify,â€ Daniel Holden (Aden Young) is released from death row, and he gives a speech to journalists and protesters gathered outside the prison. Rather than assert his innocence or talk about justice, he offers a zigzagging meditation on the nature of fatalism. â€œI had convinced myself that kind of optimism served no useful purpose in the world where I existed,â€ he explains, in an underwater monotone, as the protesters look on, baffled. â€œObviously, this radical belief system was flawed and was, ironically, a kind of fantasy itself.â€ Humbly, as if ending a philosophy seminar, he concludes, â€œI will seriously need to reconsider my world view.â€ For three years, â€œRectifyâ€ has been a small marvel, an eccentric independent drama, filmed in Griffin, Georgia, and airing off the beaten track as well, on Sundance. With its skewed insights into carceral cruelty, â€œRectifyâ€ took the slot that â€œThe Wireâ€ used to occupy: itâ€™s the smart crime drama whose fans have trouble persuading others to watch, because it sounds too grimâ€"or maybe too good for you. Itâ€™s a frustrating dynamic that has haunted other dramas without cowboys or zombiesâ€"â€œThe Leftoversâ€ and â€œThe Americansâ€ come to mindâ€"but â€œRectifyâ€Â â€™s reputation for difficulty is misleading. The showâ€™s dreamy pace makes it a satisfying high, like a bourbon-soaked bob down a river on a humid day. Itâ€™s a show about the way that time gets distorted; itâ€™s one that distorts time, too. As with many structurally daring series, itâ€™s joyful, because its insides match its outsides. Itâ€™s also, more straightforwardly, a gothic mystery about small-town secrets. When Daniel was in his late teens, he was convicted of the rape and murder of his sixteen-year-old girlfriend, Hanna. He served nineteen years, most of them in solitary confinement. The crime itself was a foggy, ambiguous incident that involved psychedelic drugs; two boys testified against him, and, under pressure, Daniel confessed. DNA cleared him of the rape but not of the murder, so plenty of localsâ€"and, at times, Daniel himselfâ€"suspect that he did it, because he was found cradling Hannaâ€™s naked corpse, which heâ€™d decorated with flowers. But Danielâ€™s younger sister, Amantha (Abigail Spencer), never lost faith in his innocence, and sheâ€™s been sleeping with the liberal Jewish lawyer she lobbied to work on his behalfâ€"the big-city Reuben to her Norma Rae. Everyone involved wants clarity, now that Amanthaâ€™s faith has paid off. No one gets it. The murder case is reopened and leads down alarming paths. Few people want to face the uglier facts, including the knowledge that Daniel was raped in prison, multiple times. While he was on death row, his father died and his mother remarried, so he has two new stepbrothers, Ted, Jr., and Jared, who is still in his teens. In some ways, Daniel is himself an adolescent, prone to self-indulgent, self-destructive whims. In isolated Paulie, Georgia, heâ€™s a distinctly odd figure, a socially awkward autodidact who meditated and read obsessively in his cell. He speaks in an off-kilter, whispery style, making even sympathetic neighbors uncomfortable. His mannered intellectualism marks him as an outsider, queer in several senses, as much as any suspicions of criminal guilt do. The one person who truly gets him is Ted, Jr.,â€™s wife, Tawney, a sweet born-again Christian who is desperate to save Daniel, and with whom he develops a dangerous chemistry. Their flirtation takes place, however, largely through elevated conversation about Thomas Aquinas and Buddha, forgiveness and humility. And, in fact, a lot of the pleasure of the show is in the dialogue, which favors the stuff that Daniel jokes is not â€œgallows humorâ€ but â€œlethal-injection humorâ€"itâ€™s more humane but less funny.â€ â€œIt felt good to use the telephone that wasnâ€™t smarter than me,â€ Daniel tells his sister, about a pay phone. His companion on a road trip tells him, â€œEverything that happens between men and women is written in mud. And butter. And barbecue sauce. Paula Deen said that to me in a dream I had one time.â€ Ted, Jr.,â€™s boozy koan: â€œFirst you hate it. Then you like it. Itâ€™s called beer.â€ While the talk takes its time, the plot moves fast. The first season covers six days in six episodes, and climaxes in two crimes, one committed by Daniel, one against him; by the fourth and final season, currently airing, only a few months have passed. Several of the best episodes are one-offs, featuring characters we never meet again. In one, Daniel drifts into the orbit of an antique dealer named Lezlie, a Pan-like anarchist, who invites anyone who is not a gentrifying yuppieâ€"the class he regards as ruining Paulieâ€"to party at his ramshackle house. In another, Daniel gets a ride from a stranger and steals some goats. Thereâ€™s a strong sense in â€œRectifyâ€ that, when your memory has been rendered spongy and your safety shattered, each event might last forever or be gone in a flash. Perhaps the standout episode is â€œDonald the Normal,â€ from Season 2. In it, Daniel finally leaves town. He takes a bus to Atlanta, then puts on nice clothes and goes to a museum to see a beautiful painting that he knows only from a book. Throughout â€œRectify,â€ the claustrophobically close-knit Paulieâ€"where the local waitress sleeps with both Daniel and the politician who framed him, and where Hannaâ€™s brother glares at Danielâ€™s family in the supermarketâ€"is portrayed as near-enchanted in its isolation. Any mention of a larger Southern city (even from the former Atlantan Amantha, who has a liberal hipsterâ€™s condescension for her home town) makes it sound as distant as Mars. At the museum, Daniel is approached by an attractive older woman, played by Frances Fisher. â€œWhat do you think?â€ she asks. â€œI think Iâ€™ve looked at this painting in a book for so long that somehow my brain has trivialized it,â€ he says. â€œAnd as I stand here in front of the real thing I feel, if anythingÂ .Â .Â . disappointed.â€ Sheâ€™s charmed by the alien quality that others find so creepyâ€"his formal speech, his lack of boundaries. She invites him to lunch with her book-club friends. These are sleek, rich city women. He tells them that his name is Donald and that he owns a bookstore in Alabama. This experiment in reinvention falls apart fast. Daniel has cuts on his forehead and cheeks, the remnants of a beating that put him in a coma. And, bright as he is, he canâ€™t improvise a life he never had. He finds himself faking a conversation about a book he hasnâ€™t read, something with a â€œpitifulâ€ protagonist. â€œThis bread, um, is excellent,â€ he says, trying to change the subject. â€œThe panini bread?â€ one of the women asks. â€œYes, um, the pallini bread,â€ he responds. â€œItâ€™sÂ .Â .Â . unusually fresh.â€ Itâ€™s a heartbreaking slip, a class error that locks him out of a whole world. The book-club women get into a conversation about a story that Daniel >has read, Tobias Wolffâ€™s â€œBullet in the Brain,â€ and which heâ€™s memorized. His lunch companion canâ€™t believe it: â€œIt would be torture to memorize.â€ No, he explains: it was a calming task, back during â€œa period in my life when I was having some difficulty dealing with the passing of time in a traditional sense.â€ Because Wolffâ€™s story deals â€œwith the bending of time,â€ memorizing it helped him bend time as well. References like this get at the showâ€™s fearlessness in taking art seriously, not merely as a distraction but as a bridge between strangers, a way of reframing the world. Still, it would be an exercise in solipsism without the larger, more grounded ensemble, particularly Danielâ€™s opposite number, Ted, Jr., who becomes both his bully and his victim. As played by Clayne Crawford, Ted is a strutting, insecure shit-kicker, a high-school tough kid gone to seed. A salesman at the family car dealership, heâ€™s the yuppie type Lezlie disdains, or, at least, he aspires to be: he and Tawney share a McMansion decorated in pastels. When the bank wonâ€™t give him a loan for a sketchy scheme involving leasing auto rims to black customers, he mortgages the house, despite Tawneyâ€™s resistance. When things fall apart, he gets scary. In another story, Ted might be a cartoon villain: the abusive husband who, at one point, confesses to something so close to date rape that itâ€™s a distinction without a difference. (Crimes on â€œRectifyâ€ are like that: violence so ordinary that no one reports itâ€"and, when someone does, the justice system makes it worse.) But the show sees Tedâ€™s side, too. Like Daniel, he is a man humiliated by loss of control, with few coping skills when heâ€™s been abandoned. In â€œRectify,â€ anyone who feels something for others, however painful, must be redeemable. In the final season, Tawney and Ted, Jr., go to therapy, heading toward divorce. Daniel, who has been legally â€œbanishedâ€ to Nashville, lives at a halfway house and gets an artist girlfriend. The crime is on the verge of being solved. If â€œRectifyâ€ has a flaw, itâ€™s one that so many humane shows develop in their final stretchâ€"a Tawney-like desire to save everyone, simply because these are characters weâ€™ve loved for years. In one scene, Amantha, recognizing that an old enemy is helping solve the mystery of Hannaâ€™s murder, asks, â€œIs there anyone left to hate?â€ Daniel wryly refers to himself as Humpty-Dumpty, but heâ€™s often more like Kimmy Schmidt: heâ€™s strange not because his capacity for wonder has been shut down but because itâ€™s almost too open. As the finale approaches, itâ€™s not the showâ€™s problem that Iâ€™ve found myself wanting some ugly to stay ugly. Perhaps I will seriously need to reconsider my world view.Â >â™¦ "
