Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: A Shadow Shall Fall Across The Universe Edition

Marvel has made their official announcement of the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie, and given the appearance of a certain Titanian in another of their movies, I wonder if there might be some tie-in to the rest of the cinematic Marvel Universe.  But, more importantly, there have been quite a few Guardians to choose from since their debut in 1968.  For me, it wouldn’t be a GoTG movie without Groot and Rocket Raccoon (presuming they go with the latest incarnation) or Nikki and Starhawk (if the go with the originals.)

The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”), bands together from remote galaxies, asking: 
What characters MUST be in the Guardians of The Galaxy movie for it to be “done right?”

 

Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: “I AM GROOT!” Edition

You might have heard a little bit about this new “Avengers” movie, and a few of the interesting reveals set up therein.  Without giving too much away, Loki’s army of Chitauri foot-soldiers implies the potential existence of at least part of Marvel’s cosmic reality, and coupled with implications of a Guardians of the Galaxy movie project, the possibilities of Nova, The Silver Surfer, or even a Kree-Skrull war film dance like sugarplums in my big rubbery head.

The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) is thusly expressed:  Which of Marvel’s space-faring characters do you MOST want to see on the big screen?

REVIEW: Annihilators #2

Can the horrible forces of the Dire Wraiths be quelled without the aid of ROM, Spaceknight? The Annihilators and their newest ally, the Galadorian Spaceknight Ikon will find out, soon enough; and Rocket Raccoon and Groot find that going home is never easy.
