REVIEW: The Avengers #1
Or – “I Think This Is Volume Four, But I’m Not Sure It Matters…”
From the ashes of the New Avengers comes… the old Avengers! Or at least a reasonable approximation of their membership. With the Green Goblin replaced by the Super-Soldier, the time has come from heroes to step out of the shadows, free of the fear of government interference and do their Avengery thing in broad daylight. Two questions remain, though: What is Steve Rogers’ ultimate goal and WHO will he choose to populate the ranks of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes?
I am an Avenger!
Here’s the image Marvel sent out promoting the upcoming Avengers #1 from Brian Bendis and John Romita, Jr. that arrives in May.

Kick-Ass gets release date
Pencil in April 16, 2010 as a day you’re going to be busy. That’s the date Lionsgate is planning on releasing Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass movie adaptation.
Lionsgate acquired North American distrib rights to “Kick-Ass” shortly after Comic-Con. Pic, starring Nicolas Cage and Aaron Johnson, is based on the bestselling comic by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. Storyline revolves around a young boy who inspires a subculture of wannabe superheroes who have no powers.
I’m sure after the government takes all my money on the 15th, I’ll be ready to kick some ass of my own, so this looks like a perfect release (and possible viral marketing campaign) for the film.
Kick-Ass to be distributed by Lionsgate
Word out of H’wood this morning is that Lionsgate Entertainment has picked up the domestic distribution rights to Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass movie adaptation. The Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. movie adaptation is still on track for a 2010 release to theaters.

From Dave Kopecki
Contributing artists include Frank Frazetta, Nat Jones, Tim Seeley, Mike Allred, Josh Medors (of course), Ben Templesmith, Steve Kurth, Nick Bradshaw, Mark Kidwell, Andrew Mangum, Ryan Winn, Richard Moore, Randy Kintz, Ken Haeser, Buz Hassen, Colleen Doran, Phil Hester, John Stinsman, Russ Maheras, Matt Martin, Rob Doria, and many more.
Because of the collectors who donated art, we also have great pieces by artists who weren’t able to contribute themselves, like Dave Finch, Tyler Kirkham, Khoi Pham, Jason Howard, John Romita Jr, Ethan Van Sciver,Georges Jeanty, Scott Clark, Steve McNiven, and so many more! Plus, there was a huge number of largely unknown and/or amateur artists who donated some great work, so there should be great art for every price range! And with how much we’ll be listing, you may get an unheard of deal on some of these goodies, on top of helping a good cause.
Please take a look at the auctions on Ebay running all this week, and maybe throw down a bid or two. The cause is noble, the art and selection is great, and together we can make a difference!
Yes, we can.
