We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Don’t forget, that along with Captain America: Civil War being out this weekend that, this Saturday is also Free Comic Book Day! If you are unsure of where a comic book store is in your area the go to this website http://www.comicshoplocator.com/Home/1/1/57/575 just type in your zip code and it will find the closest comic store for you. Everyone enjoy this Comic Book filled weekend!
Today’s the day! With us being busy we won’t get to see this until next week, but we hope everyone enjoys Captain America: Civil War:
Jimmy Kimmel Live! featured the first Captain America: Civil War trailer. Then they were kind enough to put it on their YouTube channel to share with everyone. Looks interesting.
Meet Tom Holland or should be say Peter Parker. Sony and Marvel (Disney) has somehow worked out an agreement to allow Spider-Man to become part of the Marvel Films. In doing so Sony has recast Peter Parker/Spider-Man with Tom Holland. Holland will first appear in the upcoming Marvel film Captain America: Civil War and then have his own stand alone film. Hopefully this will work out and Marvel can talk to other companies to get other characters back into the Marvel film universe.
Marvel is trying to tap into all the adults that still love to color. I myself have to admit to coloring in a coloring book every now and again. Marvel is producing three to test the market over the next year. The first coloring book will be out in October for $7.99 and will be entitled Avengers: Age of Ultron Coloring Book and will have 72 pages of artwork from professional artists in the industry. Then in February 2016, Marvel will release Little Marvel by Skottie Young Coloring Book and the last coloring book will be released in May 2016, Civil War Coloring Book. These are meant for adult audiences and I can see people buying two…one to save the artwork and one to actually color in, but the question will be will adults pay $7.99 for a coloring book? We will see.
