This trailer got it back to what we all want to see, two of comic books biggest iconic characters squaring off, in this crazy “batmobile vs superman” scene. We see exactly what Superman is made of, ie immovable super strenght, as the batmobile richochets off him and smashes across from him, and we then see that the Batman is not shaken in the least bit by this alien, asking him “So, do you bleed?”. Let’s talk about what Superman heard as he flew off into the night…”you will” Captain America Civil War:! Now the Russos have been doing press for Captain America Civil War, along with Frank Grillo who plays Crossbones in the film, and they have been hinting about several big emotional moments that will be hitting viewers upon it release in May. Grillo, while in New Orleans doing press at the Wizard World Convention, states his character is out for revenge, “I think he's out for one thing and one thing only and that's to revenge what's happened to him."

Flashback - The Incredible Hulk (2008) This reboot feature happened after the luke warm reception to Ang Lee’s experimental “Hulk:, and this was the movie that was Marvel’s second film in the launch of their own new cinematic universe! Directed by Louis Leterrier, written by Zak Penn, and starring Edward Norton as Bruce Banner and the Incredible Hulk! This film had a great opening in Brazil, it had some Kirby inspired Hulk fighting the Military, and it had a blowout battle with Tim Roth as The Abomination. Let’s get angry and talk about the incredible Hulk! Spotlight: MadMan by Mike Allred This week’s spotlight is on Mike Allred’s MadMan. Now if you go back 40 episodes, you will see I called this out, when I was covering three books at a time, and I want to highlight this series in particular. Frank Einstein has amnesia, and only remembers bits of his past life as a spy. He gets into crazy adventures with robots, aliens, secret agents, with a fun 1960’s inspired artistic flavor that rings through in every panel. I could see this being made in a current world with a mad hip art design to every set, and having incredible psychedelic music to go along with it. Would this comic book series best make the translation to film or television, animated or live action? Twitter Questions
