A few April updates


X-men and Avengers - It is all happening over at Marvel. They are essentially doing a reboot. There are new Avengers titles coming up - The Avengers and The Secret Avengers seem to be the main ones. Then they are revamping X-men - I assume after the Second Coming story arc - so far Spiderman and Blade have been announced as X-men! Strange? Cool? I do like the Blade character so it will be interesting to see what happens there.

Ipad - In the US, it seems that for the last week any techie site or blog has been about the Ipad. Admittedly a nice looking gadget, thoughts have been mixed. Marvel announced their digital service which seems to run seamlessly with both the Ipad and IPhone. They do look cool!

Frank Miller and Jim Lee are back in collaborating mode and seem to be talking about finishing off where they left off on Batman - except it would appear that the focus will be Robin. More details to follow I guess.

General bits and bobs - Megan Fox is to play Red Sonja! Apparently! Birds of Prey Comic line up has been announced. After Siege and Second Coming (before Avengers) we have Shadowlands event - Daredevil written by Andy Dingle. Also Matthew Vaughn is apparently going to direct Turf - the movie. March sees Blackest Night #8 topping the sales tables according to ICv2.com.

JD - I have deleted the first comment from here - I am not interested in having some tool commenting on a spelling error and typo.
