The Mast Blogs: Fourth Time's a Charm & 2010's Biggest Treat Just Got Bigger.

Greetings.

So, I figured I'd make this somewhat of an information update, because this IS a very educational blog. It's designed to teach you all about the wonders of comics and update those who are already so fortunate.

News has got out that there will be a FOURTH on-going added to the upcoming swathe of Avengers titles. The Avengers, Secret Avengers, The New Avengers and now Avengers Academy will all launch around May/June.

Obviously, nobody is obligated to buy them all and lots of people are up in arms about how they're all gonna work, but we're not SUPPOSED to know yet. Be patient, you bums. Personally, I'm on board for The Avengers and Secret Avengers. I've agreed with myself to add ONE more title to my pull-box, so I'm curious as to what'll be better out of The New (New) Avengers and Avengers Academy. To be honest, I'm leaning toward The New Avengers, simply because I know the characters and love them so much. If Avengers Academy goes the way of Avengers: The Initiative, I won't really dig it since I didn't get into that series.

We'll see I guess. Here's the obligatory teaser poster:



What a dreadful font, but whatever. It's all adding to the fact that this Heroic Age is dawning and I gotta say, as I have before, it feels real.

I have one more nugged of sexually exciting info for all of you, if you aren't aware already.

Iron Man 2 has a NEW trailer out!

It's pretty fucking awesome. It doesn't reveal too much, and considering the movie is kinda close, that'll probably be the last trailer. It's the last one I'm going to watch, anyway. My issue lies with the fact that Scarlett Johansson doesn't speak in it, which you'd think she would. Are Marvel Studios regretting casting someone who possibly sounds like a tool with a Russian accent?

Let me know what you think, ladies and gents. Unless it's about how fucking incredible War Machine looks, because that's just inarguable.

Until next time, peace!
