JUST FINISHED READING ..... IRON FIST #7


                                                                   

A simple packed-action story, Ed Brisson knows when to let the story write itself, and he knows how to not overload the plot.

This leads to a very well drawed kung-fu packed issue, It looks fantastic, the moves are elaborate, and the blows are impactful and kinetic. Mike Perkins can deliver and this comic it's the proof.

It’s a hell of a read, and the color art by Andy Troy is damn stellar. He knows how to light up a scene.

So, take a look at this little jewel, you don't lose neither your money, nor your time.

‘DRAGON BALL’ RETURNS WITH FIRST NEW ANIMATED SERIES IN 18 YEARS

The ubiquity of Dragon Ball series and films make it feel as if Goku and co. never really left, but the Z Fighters (Or is it GT? Are there names?) are finally back in an official capacity after nearly two decades. Production has officially begun on a new Japanese series Dragon Ball Super, picking up where the prior series of films left off.

Per Entertainment Weekly, production has officially begun on the new series, which takes place some time after the events of the film Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection “F” and will debut in Japan this July. For the moment at least, no details are yet known of an American re-release, the way Cartoon Network re-dubbed and popularized the series stateside.
According to Toei Animation, Super will pick up after Goku’s battle with Majin Buu as he “attempts to maintain Earth’s fragile peace.” Notably, original Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama will oversee the new series under Fuji Television.

Dragon Ball last debuted new episodes with the mid-’90s GT series, while 2009′s Dragon Ball Kai largely repackaged old Dragon Ball Z episodes. Can U.S. adaptations of Dragon Ball Super be far behind, given the franchise popularity?

CM PUNK TO CO-WRITE NEW ONGOING ‘DRAX’ SERIES

If either of them ever come back to the squared circle any time soon, former WWE superstars CM Punk (a.k.a. Phil Brooks) and Dave Bautista may have to tussle over ownership of Drax the Destroyer.
Marvel announced at C2E2 in Punk’s hometown of Chicago this weekend that he is the co-writer of a new Drax ongoing series set to debut late this year. (Bautista played the character in last summer’s Guardians of the Galaxy movie.) The publisher unveiled an Ed McGuinness-drawn cover to the first issue, but hasn’t yet named the artist for the series, nor Punk’s co-writer.
The series will reportedly follow Drax from ”the intergalactic octagon to the far reaches of outer space.” That’s appropriate for Brooks, who walked away from WWE last year and is prepping for his first-ever match as a fighter in UFC. Notably, Bautista has also been a mixed martial arts fighter. He won his one match with the CES MMA promotion back in 2012.
So, who knows, maybe the two of them could duke it out in the octagon to claim their stakes on Drax. They have options.
Punk’s been busy. Not only has he been training for his UFC debut, he has also penned stories for this year’s Thor annual and Vertigo’s Strange Sports Stories anthology.
Punk coming in to co-write a Drax series in which he apparently spends some time as a professional fighter echoes the first issue of Skottie Young‘s Rocket Racoon series, which partially takes place at a pro wrestling event. I’m just saying, if the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie doesn’t at least have someone doing an atomic elbow or a superplex in it, I’ll be shocked.

DC COMICS CONFIRMS FRANK MILLER'S "DARK KNIGHT III" IN FALL 2015

"The Dark Knight III: The Master Race" is slated to debut in fall 2015.

Friday at C2E2, writer Brian Azzarello took the stage late in the New DC Universe panel to tell the audience to close their eyes. Once they complied he had three letters for them to consider: "DK3" -- thus confirming that "Dark Knight Returns 3," officially titled "The Dark Knight III: The Master Race," is in the works. The series will run for eight issues, with installments scheduled to be released twice a month starting in late fall 2015.

"For the past six months, I've been working with Frank Miller to bring the next chapter in the 'Dark Knight' to light," he said. It's been humbling. I've learned a lot, and I call him sensei. It's a really, really big project."

Miller confirmed the news himself via Twitter (his first tweet in three and a half years), releasing promotional art from the story and stating, "I hope that by now my silence is deafening." In the official press release, DC Comics billed the story as "the epic conclusion of the celebrated 'The Dark Knight Returns' saga."

Rumors of a threequel to the classic "The Dark Knight Returns" graphic novel and its new millennium sequel "The Dark Knight Strikes Again" have been circulating for months, with many reports indicating that Miller would not write and draw the new book alone as he had (with inker Klaus Janson and colorist Lynn Varley) in the past. Azzarello's announcement confirms at least part of that rumor, and DC's release specifies that artists on the project haven't yet been announced.

Originally released in 1986, "The Dark Knight Returns" stands as one of the most influential and acclaimed superhero stories of any era. Its conflict between Batman and Superman has been cited as an inspiration for upcoming Warner Bros. film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," and it appears that this story will also involve the Man of Steel -- with a bloodied Superman logo appearing prominently in the promo art released.

SONY ANNOUNCES ANIMATED "SPIDER-MAN" MOVIE FOR 2018

Get ready for even more Spider-Man on the big screen. According to multiple online sources including Variety, Sony Pictures' CinemaCon presentation on Wednesday included the announcement of an animated Spider-Man film set for release in 2018, with "The LEGO Movie" and "21 Jump Street" directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller on board to write a treatment and produce the film. They are not yet signed on to direct, though Deadline notes it as a possibility.

The animated film is said to "co-exist" with live-action Spidey film projects, though it "will exist independently of the projects in the live-action Spider-Man universe, all of which are continuing." Spider-Man franchise vets Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach will produce, along with former Sony Pictures Chairperson Amy Pascal, who will produce the new live-action Spider-Man film with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.

Spider-Man's animated feature film debut has a release date of July 20, 2018, roughly a year after the scheduled release date of Sony and Marvel's live-action Spidey film, July 28, 2017.

"DAREDEVIL" GETS SECOND SEASON WITH NEW SHOWRUNNERS

Marvel.com has announced that "Marvel's Daredevil" will return in 2016 for a second season on Netflix, but this time around, a different team will be running the show: Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez are set to take over from season one showrunner Steven DeKnight. Both Petrie and Ramirez worked on season one; Petrie as a co-executive producer and Ramirez as a supervising producer.

DeKnight took over from original "Daredevil" showrunner Drew Goddard, who wrote the show's first two episodes. DeKnight, Goddard and Petrie are all veterans of working with "Avengers" writer and director Joss Whedon, each having worked on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel." Prior to "Daredevil," Ramirez wrote for "Da Vinci's Demons," "Sons of Anarchy" and fellow Netflix original series "Orange Is the New Black."

Starring Charlie Cox in the title role of Matt Murdock/Daredevil, the 13-episode first season of "Daredevil" debuted in full on April 10, attracting nearly universal praise from fans and critics. The next Marvel-based Netflix series set to premiere is "Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones," expected later this year.
