Of course, the first thing we talk about is Avengers and why John is now Matt’s favorite hero.  And when you have a movie that makes $200,000,000 dollars in it’s opening weekend, the obvious thing to do is cancel the related cartoon right? That’s the rumor. What is DC’s Trinity War? FCBD gave us a hint. Will AVX be the beginning of the end for the Marvel (and the Ultimate?) Universe?
Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Then we dive into the May Previews. What’s on your pull list?

I don’t know why Matt has an irrational dislike of Felicia Day. She’s the geek who became popular for being a geek. And Youtube likes her too. They gave her her own “Channel,” Geek & Sundry.

Cartoons are back with Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes & Ultimate Spider-man on Disney XD and DC Nation on Cartoon Network.

And there’s finally a good shot of the Avengers Aliens and they shot a new scene, after the premiere of the movie. Is this a good thing or signs of a last minute studio overreach?

And, as always, Matt & John rip into the new previews to salivate at the new good stuff and rip on some other stuff.

Avengers UFOs no longer U…

Posted on 2012/04/15 by Comics Radar

By now you’ve probably seen this screen shot:

 Well, Yesterday Joss Whedon revealed the race of the aliens in a press conference:

“The alien race are the Chitauri — or a version of them — because they are not one of the key races and they don’t have a storied history. That wasn’t the point. I know this debate will go on long after I’m dead. I would say it was the Kree-Skrull race.”

In the Ultimate Universe, the Chitauri was basically the “real” name of what is called the Skrulls in the regular Marvel Universe, but it looks, like everything else in movie continuity, that they will be embellished a bit to a new race all their own.

(Expect them to show up as a separate race in the Marvel U by this winter. -ed. John C.)

Matt & John went to the South Florida Renaissance Festival this weekend. Not actually together, or even on the same day, but they went this weekend and had fun. Am I wrong that they’ve basically become the Medieval/Fantasy equivalent of a comic or anime con? (albeit with better food)

By now, you’ve probably seen the UK Avengers Assemble trailer maybe even started playing the Avengers Alliance facebook game, but now it’s time to dive into Previews and Prep your may orders.

And have you read Order of the Stick? Did you know about Rich Burlew’s Kickstarter Campaign? I think we just entered the era of the webcomics, kids.
