'Amazing Spider-Man' Stunt Photos Featuring Andrew Garfield!

Time for some webshooting action courtesy of ComicBookMovie, and I really like these stunt photos taken by some dude from the actual shooting location in New York City. We get to see star Andrew Garfield in the costume hanging by the wires and I must say, that new sleek-looking costume design is growing on me by the day. Love the color combinations, the lines... everything!

Can't wait for the trailer to show up.

This really looks good. I get a feeling that Marvel is gonna get it right even without Tobey "The Original Spidey" Maguire in this film.

'The Avengers 12.1' Preview Covers Doesn't Entice Me At All

Marvel has another  Avengers comic book available on the shelves right now, especially made for newbies who are just starting to delve into the Marvel Universe and unsure on where to start on reading about their all-time favorite characters like Iron Man, Thor, Spider-Man and Captain America to name a few.

The Avengers 12.1,  written by one of my favorite Marvel writer-artist tandems in  Brian Michael Bendis and  Bryan Hitch, with the latter being memorable for doing such a splendid job on his run on the Ultimates vol 1 and 2. He's the guy with the "photo-realistic art" that made reading the Ultimates like watching/reading a film. And with the influx of comic book film adaptations lately, this looks like a good move by Marvel in getting new readers joining the bandwagon. 

But let me focus on something entirely different here:  I cannot help but wonder what happened to Mr. Hitch while illustrating these covers for his latest project? Take a look:

Movie Review: Thor

Marvel Studios' THOR

Directed by Kenneth Branagh

Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman,

Anthony Hopkins and Tom Hiddleton

Based on the Marvel Comics characters by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Larry Leiber

Distributed by Paramount Pictures

This movie has been hyped for a long time now, and I finally got to watch it yesterday. 

Was courage really immortal as the tag-line said?

Did it live up to the hype-machine that Marvel Studio's created? 

I'm not gonna lie. 

It met and even exceeded expectations. One of those rare summer blockbuster hits that GOT ME SMASHING FOR MORE. 

Kenneth Branagh's Thor is a big eye-candy that showcases stunning visual effects which bends the line between reality and fantasy, and one that is also emotionally deep and entertaining to boot.

Packed with a lot of epic action sequences, the movie had a lot memorable moments that would go down as the best, not only in comic book film adaptations, but also in cinematic history. Like the hammer-smashing, Earth-shattering epic battle between the Thor's 6-man Asgardian gang with  the Frost Giants of Jotunheim from the beginning of the movie, to that awe-inspiring kick-ass transformation by the hero after his trusty hammer - Mjolnir - comes back to him after being separated with it as part of his father's (Odin) punishment. That one got me literally wide-eyed giddy like a child going like: "WOOOOW".
