Netflix has begun streaming, through their YouTube channel, the teaser trailer for their next Marvel exclusive, Marvel’s Jessica Jones. One of the many reason I wish we had Netflix.
New Force Awakens International Trailer
An international trailer, of Star Wars: The Force Wakens has been released that contains the above image at the very beginning. A new pic of, one would think, a piece of the once Imperial Army. Whats interesting to me is the shape of the stormtroopers helmets and then the back of a character that has a black cloak on and a white helmet. Kind of an odd combination because from the back it recalls the image of Darth Vader, but then you have the white helmet with that black cloak, interesting choice. Anyway if you want to view the whole trailer it is provided by the CBR Trailers YouTube channel:
Star Wars Micro Comics and Cards
This is interesting. IDW Publishing is trying something new in the collectible market with the Star Wars license. They are producing blind packs for Star Wars Marvel minicomics, 3-D posters, 3-D glass, and trading cards that are puzzle pieces to form comic covers. All this for $3.99. Sounds good until you look at the break down of what’s in the packet. You have a chance to get one of the six mini comics, a chance to get one of the six 3-D posters, a pair of 3-D glass. Doesn’t sound to bad yet, but then you get to the trading cards. You get a chance of getting 1 of 36 cards. That’s going to be a lot of duplicates to get a full set of the 36 trading cards.
Don’t get me wrong everything looks neat and all and there will be collectors that love this, but for my wallet it’s just beyond my means.
Jessica Jones Set for Debut
Marvel’s latest Netflix series, Jessica Jones, is set to debut in the fourth quarter of 2015. Not to far away, but could also mean in December. I bet it’s sooner though. The series will star Kristen Ritter, in this next Hell’s Kitchen installment.
Animated Guardians Teaser Trailer
Are you ready for more Guardians of the Galaxy. If so I hope you like animation because that is the vehicle until a new live action movie is done. The Guardians of the Galaxy animated series will debut on Disney XD on September 26. Check out the teaser that IGN’s channel on YouTube has streaming:
Meet the New Spider-Man
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.
Coloring Books Aren’t Just For Kids Anymore
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.
