Very similar to the one we’ve already seen, but definitely features some new scenes!

It looks like the latest issue of Toyfare not only revealed the April 2011 figure for MOTU Classics, but it also featured the Destroyer figure from the upcoming 3 3/4 inch Thor movie line. It is in scale with the other figures, meaning it is significantly larger. The issue also shows some of the other figures from this line and the Captain America movie line that we had already seen at NYCC this year.
As posable as that Thor figure looks, he seems to only be able to stand thanks to his cape. I’m curious how well balanced he is when posted standing straight up. Destroyer looks pretty solid all around.

Whether you’re a Marvel or a DC, we hope you’re having an excellent Thanksgiving holiday. Also known as “Fake Thanksgiving” in Canada, or “Thursday” elsewhere in the world.

Since the alphabet is the building block of our language, the Powet Alphabet is the building block of what makes us geeks.

As Marvel Comics emerged into the 21st century, they were also emerging from bankruptcy. Thanks partially to the success of the hugely popular X-Men and Spider-man cartoons, along with Capcom’s widely successful Marvel fighting games, more people were reading the comics more than ever. With a sure-to-be blockbuster X-men movie on the horizon, along with an influx of new readers, things were only looking up for The House of Ideas.

There was only one problem: accessibility. With over 40 years of history behind them (60 if you count their years as Timely/Atlas), it was, to say the least, difficult for the average ‘man on the street’ to pick up a comic book and know what’s going on as well as a hardcore reader would. Heck, look at some of these things. Clones? Alternate Universes? Dystopian future timelines? Resurrections? 4 different versions of limbo? Clones of people from alternate universes battling resurrected people from alternate versions of dystopian timelines (and I’m not exaggerating either. All of these things were in a Marvel storyline at one time or another, often times, more than one at a time). Hardcore readers were having a hard enough time keeping up, so imaging how hard it would be for someone whose X-men and Spider-man knowledge came primarily from the cartoons. However, Marvel devised a solution: Ultimate Marvel.

Iron Man director Jon Favreau steps into another comic adaptation. Cast includes Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, and Sam Rockwell. Screenplay by Damon Lindelof (LOST) Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek, Transformers).

Synopsis: Aliens shoot at Cowboys. Cowboys shoot at Aliens. It may be slightly more complex than that, but its a teaser trailer so you don’t want this paragraph to spoil the whole thing.

HD Trailer is available on Yahoo.

Entertainment Tonight got the exclusive this evening and now the rest of the world gets to watch. Here is the first trailer for the Green Lantern.

Full HD downloads available here.

Yesterday, Geoff Johns posted on DC’s blog, The Source, announcing a new storyline coming to the Green Lantern books in March, April and May (of 2011). The story will be titled War of the Green Lanterns, with the title being in an ominous red color. The image above was included along with this blurb:

From REBIRTH to SINESTRO CORPS to BLACKEST NIGHT, Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart and Kyle Rayner have stood by each other and fought together to save our universe. After all that, what could possibly tear them apart? We’ll find out in WAR OF THE GREEN LANTERNS starting in March’s WAR OF THE GREEN LANTERNS #1 and throughout the Green Lantern titles in March, April and May. Every Green Lantern is about to be tested — and tested against one another.

Next Tuesday, “Entertainment Tonight” will show off some near finished footage of Green Lantern. In order to promote that footage they’re using the same footage. Its quick, but you see Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, some planes flying, the full-on suit, the ring coming to life, and… Kilowog! Blake Lively is also in there for a sec or two as Carol Ferris.

So, as a mish mash of low res footage before we get a real trailer… what do you think?
