wolverine and the outsiders


Play it again Stan. Looks like X-Force is coming back. And it looks like they're bringing all the black vinyl left over from Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men. And apparently all the ideas from Justice League Elite and Stormwatch: Black (see The Authority) and Batman and the Outsiders and Baywatch: Nights. Yes, it looks as though Marvel is working on its own superhero group to handle the missions too dark for the clean-faced heroes of the better selling titles. Missions too dangerous. Missions too extreme. Missions too violent. Missions toooooo......... HUH? What? Oh shit, sorry, I must've fallen into a Convention-Hype coma. Anyway, according to X-Men editor Axel Alonso, this title is supposed to help usher in a "...new status quo for the X-Men. If indeed there is an X-Men." Indeed.

But before it seems as though I am just eating my hatertots all over Marvel, the Iron Man teaser trailer was also released yesterday, and I'm having an apprehensive nerdgasm about it. The dialogue seems too clever by half, but Robert Downey Jr. might be able to sell it. And the way the suit shakes while he is flying looks undeniably bright. Check out the gun that only needs to fire once.
