Jimmy Kimmel had the cast of Avengers play a rather half-assed game of Family Feud. It's actually pretty amusing to see how much fun they were actually having. (They even get split up between Team (Captain) America and Team (Iron) Man.)
yeah, but that’s further on in the arc. judging from the above cover art to #1, she’s pretty stoked at this time. though i think there might be some sort of foreshadowing in that ominous “c+a” message in the background. see how it’s combined with “make your”? i sense clonage.
Sad to hear the news about Herb Trimpe passing yesterday; he didn't draw much Spidey at all (just a few issues of MTU as far as I know) but was a well-known Hulk artist and was also a really nice guy who I had the pleasure of meeting a few years back at a New York ComicCon. Tons of accolades pouring in today from other comic professionals and you can easily see that he was very well-regarded and a true pro as well from all the kind words. RIP Mr Trimpe.
No spoilers, but I'm ten episodes into DAREDEVIL and it's incredible.
I will never read Fisk's dialogue the same way after having exprienced D'Onofrio's take on him. Brilliant.
And Cox is everything you'd hope for as Matt Murdock.
On another Daredevil note, I just read Lee Weeks' three-parter from Daredevil: Dark Nights. The one where he's trying to get a heart to a little girl in the middle of a blizzard. Truly brilliant stuff that makes me wish Weeks wrote more--his Spider-Man miniseries on the fallout from Captain Stacy's death is an underrated gem as well.
I am only 4 episodes in but cannot wait to continue it; I am very pleased with it though I find the dark visuals a bit annoying. I mean, I know it is done partly to save on production costs and partly because it is a dark overall story but still it makes it a bit hard to make out what is going in some scenes. Cox absolutely IS both Matt and DD; just the first episode alone obliterates that awful Ben Affleck movie (though Colin Farrell was pretty great as Bullseye).
I actually enjoyed the Ben Affleck film for what it is, which is basically "What If Stan Lee Wrote The Elektra Saga?"
And no, I don't mean that as an insult to Lee in the slighest. I'm just saying that even though the story is taken from Miller, the tone is closer to Lee's, more melodramatic romance than gritty crime drama. I believe the intention was to to go darker for a second film which adapted Born Again.
