Entertainment Weekly's "The Avengers" Set Photos Featuring Bobblehead ScarJo

We are all excited for the ultimate superhero team up aren't we? Okay. Now, dig on these exclusive set photos from Entertaintment Weekly featuring EVERYBODY.

This looks great, but fuck - what is wrong with Thor's nose (bad photoshopping), Captain America looking awfully confused, ScarJo's bobblehead and Mark Ruffallo with that stare?

 

Okay, that's pretty cool stuff - everyone together in one room, Chris Evans in that perfect man-out-of-time civilian outfit, and finally Samuel L. Jackson gets to fire a weapon (it took him 4 feature films to do that, shit).

But the best part of this tease are these pictures of the oh so fine Scarett Johansson (whose nude photos were leaked for everybody to see a couple of weeks ago):

Damn. Even the buildings can't resist. ScarJo's causing a lot of explosions all over the place by just standing there. Must be the awesome bum.

"The Avengers" Teaser-For-A-Teaser Clip

I haven't watched Captain America yet, but I'm excited to see it and a high-def version of the blurry post-end credits that was leaked to the net a couple of weeks ago. Now, I'm even more excited to see the movie because of this new 48-second clip that teases... well, Marvel's teaser trailer for the 2012 flick The Avengers.

Remember last week that I said that I won't be looking at some of these spoilers kind of videos, and I'm staying true to my word. I didn't watch the whole thing, but I did see 5 seconds of the clip and I know exactly what it is:

Its Steve Rogers/Captain America running outside Times Square in New York City after waking up from a 50-year "coma" (suspended animation) after being fished out of the Arctic waters encased in a freaking block of ice.

Avengers Assembled: Concept Art Images For "The Avengers" Summer Flick

We have been anxiously waiting for these guys to get together on the silver screen, and while it may take a little bit longer for us to see that, here is the complete roster featuring Nick Fury with Agent Coulson and Maria Hill, Hawkeye, Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, Iron Man and Captain America each in their conceptualized art imagery courtesy of Ryan Meinerding. 

 

 

 

Question now is, who's going to be the villain?

If Director Josh Whedon would follow the Ultimate's storyline "Superhuman" - it would be interesting to see everybody fight the big bad green monster... the Hulk. Man, that will be awesome. Explosions and chaos everywhere, each of them getting a shot at the ravaging crazy monster, with Thor thumping his ass in the end. 

Sounds cool?

Threesome Art - 7/12/2011 - "Pinoy Pride"

Many of great Filipino komik artists have worked for big time companies like Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse who brought us the most memorable graphic novels and comic book series in recent memory.  And featured today are three awesome artworks from the best Filipino artists in today's comic book scene : Carlo Pagulayan, Kajo Baldisimo, and Leinil Francis Yu. 

Let's take a look:

Fantastic Four by Carlo Pagulayan

Carlo Pagulayan is known for his works for Marvel Comics, notably Emma Frost (#7-12) and Planet Hulk. And this image is one of his covers for Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four, which is perfectly painted to life. Love the lighting and the shadows he used to capture the team spirit of the FF, and will make you miss The Human Torch the longer you look at it. 

Good times, good times.

The Avengers by Kajo Baldisimo

I wonder why Kajo isn't doing any Avengers-titled comic book, because this poster he made is one for the money. It has the feel of a Stuart Immonen artwork yet it has his own original imprints on it. Notice the lighting he did here, crisp and clean lines, and the dynamic poses for each character that definitely kicks-ass. Not to mention Ms. Marvel's thingy right in your face. Perfect cheesecake. I would love seeing him work on The New Avengers someday.

Kajo is actually the artist for Trese, an all original Pinoy komik written by Budjette Tan that mixes gun-toting action with mystery based on Filipino folklore, that's nothing short but awesome. Go ahead and check it out @ tresekomix.blogspot.com.

Thor by Leinil Francis Yu

You know this guy I'm sure. He's the artist for some of the best graphic novels that I have read like Superior (with Mark Millar), Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk, and Superman: Birthright (with Mark Waid). He also worked on Marvel's Secret Invasion and some issues of The New Avengers vol. 1, and is doing more for the "House of Ideas" with his Mexican-standoffy Ultimate Avengers vs New Ultimates series.

Leinil's "Pseudo-Dynamic" style is on full force in this Thor commission, and his signature use of lines and unique marker effects creates a very realistic version of the Thunder God. But the best part of this image is the hammer. Take a look at the lighting on that Mjolnir, and tell me that isn't something. Marvelous. 

That's all for now folks, but I'm sure to be back with another edition of the Threesome so stay tuned.

Avengers Assemble: First Promo Poster For The 2012 Avengers Film

Familiar faces right there. And there's a new suit for Tony, Hawkeye looking more like his Ultimate version, and Cap's got a new costume design too. This looks awesome!

Holy cow. Can somebody have Chris "Captain America" Evans or Robert "Iron Man" Downey Jr scream: "Avengers Assemble!" already? Please? 

When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury - director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D. -  finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster.

The Avengers will star Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), and Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury).  The film is slated to be released on May 4, 2012.
