In other Con news...

...Marvel announced the next phase in their movie line...

...Iron Man 3, Thor 2, Captain America 2, Ant-man and the Guardians of the galaxy. The first 3 were expected, but Ant-man and the Guardians were a surprise to me. Marvel has many other characters to choose from so, Ant-man who started off in the Avengers comics, then reversed his powers and became Giant-man, then abandon all that and became Yellow-jacket for a while, and then just became a sort of inventor of super power/gadets professor type----it's an odd choice. He's always been a character Marvel never seemed to know what to do with. Just inventing powers for himself and changing over the years. And he could have been in the Avengers movie if they wanted. But he's getting his own now. Over more likely and better know heroes. But DC comics is screwed. This means that their DC character the Atom is going to be trailing behind Marvels similar shrinking powered Ant-man if any DC movie ever comes forth...

...DC is just lagging horribly behind in it's sticking to Batman and Superman for movies. They did do Green Lantern. But they need some other heroes and FAST! They better hurry and do something with Aquaman too before Marvel does something with the Sub-marnier. And as for the Guardians, I really don't know much on them, so again a bit of a surprise but, rumor is the galactic villain seen at the end of the Avengers movie, will likely be the Guardian villain and they will use that movie to set up Avengers 2. Stay tuned.
