Alright! Another week, more new comics! Sorry for the delay on the buy lists this week! Work can get pretty crazy! Anyway, there's definitely some Marvel books worth mentioning this week! Without further a do! Lets get to it!

#3

Title: Guardians of the Galaxy #012
Price: $3.99
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Sara Pichelli

Story/Premise

"THE TRIAL OF JEAN GREY" PART 4! A surprise ally from one character's past comes to help, but is that enough against the most powerful army in the Universe?

Opinion:

So far, "The Trial of Jean Grey" has been an awesome and exciting crossover between the Guardians and the X-Men. It's really interesting to see how the X-Men from the past react to the Guardians, especially Rocket and Groot. If you've been reading this crossover so far you know that it's been a bit of a ride. If you like space adventure and aliens I would definitely pick up this book!

#2

Title: Fantastic Four #001
Price: $3.99
Writer: James Robinson
Artist: Leonard Kirk

Story/Premise

"THE FALL OF THE FANTASTIC FOUR" PART 1 The world's greatest comics magazine begins anew with Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four! But as the brilliant MR. FANTASTIC, the compassionate INVISIBLE WOMAN, the ever lovin' THING & the hot-headed HUMAN TORCH embark on a strange mission, they aren't met with new beginnings, but an untimely end! As the family of cosmic explorers head towards their darkest hour, who could possibly be behind their downfall? And how is one of their oldest enemies, the sadistic dragon known as Fing-Fang-Foom involved? Prepare for the fantastic!

Opinion:

The reason that this book made the top 3 of the buy list this week is mostly because I'm intrigued to know why exactly Marvel wanted to do another Re-Boot of Fantastic Four when the last run just ended a few weeks ago. According to the solicitations It's going to be interesting to see how this story plays out with it being apparently "the end."

#1

Title: The Superior Spider-Man #028
Price: $3.99
Writer: Dan Slott
Artist: Giuseppe Camuncoli

Story/Premise

"Goblin Nation" #2 (of 5) Goblins! Spiderlings! Super villains! Giant robots! It can only mean one thing: ASSAULT ON SPIDER-ISLAND!If you want to see people standing around talking, read another comic. Want to see heroes having a fist fight, go somewhere else?You are IN the GOBLIN NATION and this is ALL-OUT WAR!

Opinion:

This I think is obviously the #1 Marvel book coming out  this week as it is almost every week a new issue comes out. The anticipation behind this final story arc is incredible and if the last issue of SSM was any indication on how the rest of this arc will go, this issue will be absolutely no disappointment. If you've been reading Superior before this issue, keep getting it, if you are yet to pick up this title, pick up the last two issues a long with this one so that you kind of know what's going on!


Notables 

Deadpool #024
Thunderbolts #022

After ducking and dodging all questions, Fox has found and released it's cast for the upcoming reboot of The Fantastic 4.

The cast will include House of Cards star, Kate Mara as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Jamie Bell is in negotiations to play Ben Grimm/The Thing, Miles Tellar is also in negotiations to play Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic, and I'm sure most of you are already aware of Michael B. Jordan as our new Johnny Storm/Human Torch.

This is something I may just have to pass.

As individuals I believe each of these actor are "fantastic." I just don't see any of them playing these characters. It could be cool to see a fresh new look added to our heroes, but will it be done correctly? Probably not. Fox has proven time and time again that they are incapable of creating a good Marvel movie.

I guess we will all have to wait and see where this goes.

What are your thoughts? Do you like the cast? Let us know. We would love to hear your thoughts!

Marvel Breakdown: Who Owns the Film Rights to What?

WHO OWNS WHO?

Marvel owns the Avengers... Sony owns Spider-Man... and Fox owns The Fantastic Four and the X-Men? What about all the other crazy characters in the Marvel Universe? 

I have asked myself this question on numerous occasions and often here it being the topic of many blogs, podcasts and see if brought up almost every night on forums. We all know who owns the rights to the big names, and we were all confused as hell when we heard that Quicksilver is going to be appearing in both, X-Men: Day's of Future Past, and Avengers: Age of Ultron but we now know that there was a split of ownership for him from Disney/Marvel and Fox. So this post is to help clear things up and to find out who we could actually see team up with the Avengers sometime in the future, and who we can cry ourselves to sleep about because there is no hope for a team-up. Once all of that is said and done, we're going to go in and see who has the chance of making it to the big screen, or even the small screen(TV) for that matter! So, enough of my rambling, let's get in depth about what key characters numerous studios own from Marvel Comics!
