At Comic Impact, we sure do love our action figures and we do love seeing photos of toys before they come out. It is one big ass cock tease and now we get a look at Hasbro’s 3rd wave of 3.75″ Marvel Universe figures. This wave includes a few of my favorite characters in X-Men books (Archangel,Kitty Pryde) As you can see it focuses on the X-Men!
I will be on the hunt for these figures and I am sure they will end up on the site as a future Figure Friday. My favorite is the Archangel what can...

Taking a break from Iron Man, and looking at the other world of comics now (aka DC Comics), you know, the guys that ComicImpact staff member Sheldon doesn’t read.
It looks like Sheldon’s boy J. Michael Straczynski (the guy he was in love with on Thor) is going to take over Superman and Wonder Woman in July. That’s right, he is going to have the chance to play with two of DC’s big three.
I haven’t read Wonder Woman in a long time, so I don’t know how this will affect that book, but...

Ok, here are some screen shots from the new Iron Man 2 trailer, and what I think is going on in each. This is just my thoughts about this film. Since Iron Man is my favorite character, I’ve been thinking about it a lot.
PLEASE NOTE there may be some SPOILERS, or it might turn out that I’m just talking out of my ass.
I guess we’ll find out on May 7th of this year. Be sure to stay tuned to ComicImpact for a special Iron Man 2 podcast the week the film opens.

As we come towards the conclusion of DC’s epic Blackest Night story we are all excited and looking ahead to the follow up, Brightest Day. Before the days of the color war and eventually Blackest Night, these stories were quite contained within the Green lantern titles, never really effecting the outside world.
Geoff Johns took a great risk and allowed the rich history of the lanterns to bleed into other titles changing the course of a lot of key books. At first i was a little concerned. Having read some Green Lantern,...

Is Aquaman coming back for Brightest Day? I am not sure but I can tell you that I love the cover to the second issue of Brightest Day, Mr DC Comics him self Geoff Johns had this to say about Brightest Day
“Brightest Day’ is about second chances. I think it’s been obvious from day one that there are major plans for the heroes and villains from Aquaman to take center stage in the DC Universe, among many others, post-Blackest Night. ‘Brightest Day’ is not a banner or a vague catch-all direction for the DC Universe,...

I want to tell you a story of something that recently IMPACTed my life. And by impacted I mean slapped me in the face with amazing!
I just found out that there is a new animated Batman film in the works and the news gets better from there. The name of the film slated for release sometime this year (maybe in time for San Diego Comic Con?) is Batman:Under the Red Hood or Batman: Under the Hood depending on who you ask. At any rate it tells the story of the Red Hood as told by Judd Winick in the comics starting with Batman...

I feel sorry for all you Avengers fans, who thought your wallet’s/purse’s could take a breather at the news of all Avengers titles being put to rest, and there just being a solo Avengers main title come the aftermath of Siege. Because our pals at Marvel have decided that just one Avenger’s book won’t be enough, so they’ve given us (rightly or wrongly) a new one!

Do you remember last week when we posted about the Deadpool variant Siege #3. That Retailers can get if they send back some stripped covers of some Blackest Night tie ins.
Well guess what? That’s right, we now know what the cover looks like. My guess is that J. Scott Campbell or Deadpool him self is a fan of Ali G because this cover makes me think a lot of the character invented by Sacha Baron Cohen.
Now what do you think it will go for on ebay? How much would you pay for it? That is the true question. Myself,...

DC canceled the Blue Beetle series sometime ago and now the hero is returning to comics!
As some of you know Sheldon is in love with the Blue Beetle, and now we can see his boy in an 8-page back up story that begins in Booster Gold #21.
Are people going to be buying Booster Gold just for the back up story with Jaime Reyes (the new Blue Beetle)? Only time will tell. I do love that Mike Norton is working on this book.

We have your first look at the upcoming Batman: The Brave and The Bold episode “The Color of Revenge!”
Batman and Robin team up again, but it’s not like it always was–there was a reason Robin left to go work on his own. As Crazy Quilt comes after Robin for revenge, all the dirty laundry comes out between the dynamic duo!
This episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold will be on TV next Friday night ( May 22nd ).

I just wish all season one would come out on DVD or Blu-Ray. I hate it when they only put a few episodes on the discs.

For ten years the alien invaders have laid waste to our planet, but now they’ve vanished, leaving the survivors with two questions - “Where did they go?” and “Where does humanity go from here?” It’s existential questions with alien-fueled intrigue, and there’s no better time to get on board...
