Big news at comic-con today! Iron Man's got a brand new, gold suit for IM3, and Ben Kingsley is apparently confirmed as the Mandarin! Then, we get a new title: "Thor: The Dark World." Not being well-versed in that character, I'm not sure what that alludes to. But we also get "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," definitely cool and I'm looking forward to that storyline. And best of all.... "Guardians of the Galaxy" is a go!! Marvel is taking a risk, focusing on some seriously B-list or C-list characters, but I hope it pays off. Drax particularly makes sense given his connection with Thanos. And Rocket Raccoon! It's really crazy how much geekdom has taken over Hollywood. A few years ago, I wouldn't have imagined watching The Avengers in movie theaters. Even when The Avengers was released, and rumors were circulating about a Guardians of the Galaxy film, I was skeptical. That's seriously strictly geek territory. There's others they could've chosen, like Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, and even Namor. The GOTG are less known that them. It'll be quite interesting to see how it's done, and how they plan on publicizing it. Then again, they sold "Thor." DC has a lot of catching up to do, although word is that the Man of Steel panel was pretty darned good, and chill-worthy.

I can't wait. Just when you think the best is over with Avengers, it seems like the best is yet to come. Let phase two begin! Here's the latest artwork from the convention:
