I have not done one of these in quite a while. I guess apologies are in order. New job at Jessops is taking up a lot more time than I thought. I got my contract for it three months ago and started it on a temp basis 6 months ago now. It is pretty good job it's allowing me to expand my horizons and meet new people. It's also allowing me to buy more comics that I couldn't afford before.
So lets go through my title and start with the two Marvel events. Age of Ultron and Infinity two great Villains feature in these which are Ultron and Thanos which rather funnily enough will both feature in Avengers (2) Age of Ultron. So Age of Ultron is pretty awesome! I got not only the main story line but all the spin offs too. (Spoiler alert: It was cool how they went through your standard world destruction story to time travel to the alternate future stuff.) They won't be able to copy this panel for panel in the upcoming movie for a few reasons. One Kevin Feige (Marvel Movies producer) has confirmed that Tony Stark will be the one who invents Ultron in the upcoming movie (probably will be a gone crazy Jarvis). Reason two will be two of the main characters in this were Wolverine and Sue Storm who are both owned by Fox in the Marvel movie properties. I look forward to see how they will link Thanos and Ultron two characters who don't normally mix in the comics.
Now Infinity it is starting off really well! and you could link it's starting to way before the Infinity preludes. In Avengers you have the Gardener Ex-Nihilo and Abyss who came up in Issue one. Then Deadpool in the Deadpool Kills arc is wanting to kill everything basically which is what Thanos is looking to do and there was some talk that Deadpool Kills counts towards continuity so this could link in pretty nicely. Plus Deadpool in regular Marvel Now is all about Deadpool saving the day from Universe altering events. Captain America being abandoned in Dimension Z and Zola wanting to take over the Marvel universe. Finally Iron Man with the Secret Origins of Tony Stark, 451 is wanting to save the Earth from ending by basically making Tony Stark who he is before he was born. It is good to see this kind of continuity within Comics.
With the Deadpool Game It isn't often that I want to replay a game let a lone in back to back sessions. It is so addictive and yes it has some repeatable elements but it is soo forgiveable. It is cheesy and over the top but that's who Deadpool is and the cut scenes are worth the price of the game alone. Some excellent Cameos from the X-Clan are great from obvious one like Cable and Wolverine to Rogue and Domino. And of course part of the replayabilty comes in with wanting to upgrade your items and pulling off even cooler combos than before.
I am going to leave it there as I want to make sure I got enough Material to do this more often from now on! I blog again soon!
Have a geeky day!
