The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

'Annihilation: Conquest', and then 'Guardians of the Galaxy' 2008. Though you might want to read 'Annihilation' first, and then go into 'Annihilation: Conquest', as it sets up a few things for modern Cosmic Marvel.
is the 1st collected trade of the series that spun out of the events mentioned above.
Got Abnett's sig on vols 1-4 just here in fact

The GotG series starts with them already as a team, the Annihilation series build up to that and give everyone a nice time to shine/plus introduce everyone.
Indeed, but I'm not sure it's necessary to read that storyline to get the gist of the characters.
Abnett and Lanning explain pretty much all you need to know in the GOTg series.
.. Hell one of my friends even understood some of the Adam Warlock related stuff in the books and that's ridiculously complicated to explain.

A YouTube video with relevant comments? What the deuce?
Marvel: What's that, DC? You're struggling to make a Wonder Woman movie? Tough break. We're just gonna release a movie with a talking Raccoon whose best friend is a sentient tree.
In regards to the lack of a Wonder Woman and her alleged appearance in the sequel to Man of Steel.
Yeah but they're reportedly making huge changes to her character to make her more "accessible" to "general audiences" who would be too confused by her mythological origins. Despite Thor being a hugely popular character for Marvel. I hope the rumors of her being some Kryptonian woman from a secret island of Kryptonians on earth are completely false or I've already lost any hope in them doing her justice. Meanwhile Marvel is giving us Guardians of the Galaxy and not fudging up the characters at all. Not to mention Wonder Woman will be on the level of Black Widow in Iron Man 2 whereas this is not Iron Man 4 featuring a GOTG cameo but a full movie starring the GOTG.
Bolded part was based on speculation, not an actual rumor.
I am really looking forward to GOTG and have been since the first rumors of the film hit the internet. The character designs look great and Chris Pratt is an added bonus.
The only way we can ever solve anything is to look in the mirror and find no enemy

#4 -- some more glimpses of the fight against Nebula.

The lineup thing is obvious theft from The Usual Suspects.
I don't know if I found the trailer "hollow." I'd describe most of the Marvel films as "workmanlike," and I think this film looks to be in similar territory. Which isn't to say that it won't be fun.

Yeah, you gotta love how one guy with a blog types "one way they could do it is..." and suddenly the internetz explode in nerdrage. Snyder, you suck!

Theft is a pretty strong word to use. It's a reference, if anything, but I wouldn't call it theft. The Usual Suspects isn't the only film to use a lineup, in any case.

Since Benicio Del Toro is in both movies, it's cool.
I am so excited for this movie. And I didn't even know the Guardians until a year ago or so, when I read on Dakka, that Dan Abnett wrote them once. This is going to be so much fun!

The current series is really good, and has some pretty amazing artwork, but only kinda explains who the different guardians are; so you get a bit with Drax destroying stuff, a bit where Groot gets disintegrated and regrows from a slither of wood, and a *lot* of bickering with Star-Lord's dad. There's a hefty chunk of space politics, but it does also introduce Angela from Spawn as a character, and she's pretty badass.

The last crop of superhero movies to come out bored me - haven't seen a good one since Nolan's Batman Begins (TDKR and TDK were pretty bad).
I think that last bit there was where you went too far.
Yeah, they're some of highest rated superhero movies of all time by fans, general audiences and critics.
I thought the second one was so bad that I ddi not bother with the third one - massively over long, rubbish plot (what there was of it) heartless and style over substance...........but then we all see things differently................
back On Topic - Zoe Saldana always looks good and looking forward to her once again in a action role.
