20160428 – Comics News : And Marvel’s ‘Long Awaited Return’ Is… SPOILERS | Newsarama.com
Last week, Marvel released a teaser image promising a « long awaited return » tied to Avengers: Standoff!. It has since been revealed that the returning hero is none other than Quasar, wielder of the cosmic-powered Quantum Bands.
And while the most memorable Quasar, Wendell Vaughan, returns in Standoff! to pass on the mantle, the new Quasar is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent named Avril Kincaid. Kincaid retrieves the Quantum Bands in this week’s Avengers: Standoff! Assault on Pleasant Hill Omega and assumes the Quasar name.

20160428 – Comics News : Le nouveau Superman est chinois | Courrier international
DC Comics a dévoilé l’identité du nouveau Superman, dont les aventures paraissent cet été. Il prendra désormais les traits d’un adolescent né à Shanghai.
Cet été, DC Comics, l’un des deux géants de l’édition de bandes dessinées américaines, l’autre étant Marvel, va donner un coup de jeune à sa collection. Green Lantern sera ainsi incarné par une femme latino-américaine, Lois Lane va devenir Superwoman et le nouveau Superman s’appellera Kenan Kong, un jeune de Shanghai immigré aux Etats-Unis.
L’œuvre a été confiée à l’auteur Gene Luen Yang, né aux Etats-Unis de parents chinois et scénariste renommé. “Pour Yang comme pour de nombreux auteurs, Clark Kent, le Superman original, est un symbole de l’immigration aux Etats-Unis, fait remarquer le site Fusion. Avec le personnage de Kenan, Yang rend évidente cette caractéristique du personnage.”
Pour créer ce “New Superman”, Gene Luen Yang a travaillé en priorité avec sa mère,a-t-il raconté à la chaîne NBC, afin de relater au mieux cette expérience d’immigré aux Etats-Unis. “Je souhaitais trouver un nom qui fonctionne en chinois mais qui soit immédiatement prononçable par un lecteur américain, a expliqué l’auteur. Kenan Kong sonne finalement beaucoup comme Clark Kent.”
La sortie du premier opus est prévue pour le 13 juillet.

20160424 – News – Marvel : Des Stormtroopers d’élite dans le comics Star Wars | ACTUALITÉ | MDCU COMICS
Article de ADLAB pour le site MDCU
Jason Aaron, le scénariste du comics Star Wars en cours de publication, a annoncé lors d’une interview pour StarWars.com l’arrivée de Stormtroopers d’élite dans la série. Son but est de s’interroger sur ce qui fait unStormtrooper, et pourquoi ils se retrouvent à bosser pour l’Empire. Il explique son idée de base :
La chose principale que je voulais faire, c’est donner plus de personnalité à quelques stormtroopers. On en a vu beaucoup dans la série, mais pratiquement tous étaient des ennemis interchangeables et sans visage. Nous n’avons pas appris à les connaitre. C’est l’une des choses que j’ai préférée dans Le Réveil de la Force, découvrir et apprendre à connaitre un vrai personnage qui soit un Stormtrooper, et quelqu’un qui, bien sûr, a une conscience, a changé de camp, et a rejoint les gentils.
L’auteur précise que son arc scénaristique sera cependant à l’opposé de ça : tous ses personnages seront pro-Empire. Ils croient vraiment en ce qu’ils font, et pensent réellement se battre du bon côté. Ce squad deStormtroopers fera une apparition rapide dans le Star Wars #20, mais on s’y intéressera plus à partir du #21 qui débute une nouvelle histoire dessinée par Jorge Molina. On peut d’ailleurs admirer son travail sur les designs des différents troopers. Chacun aura son style selon sa fonction au sein de l’équipe. De plus, le chef du Squad sera leSergent Kreel que l’on a pu voir précédemment dans la série. Une fois la présentation de l’équipe faite dans le #21, le #22 s’intéressera à la capture d’un Star Destroyer par les rebelles. Que pensez-vous de ce choix scénaristique ?

20160422 – New Marvel Teaser Heralds a Hero’s Long-Awaited Return | Comic Book Resources
New Marvel Teaser Heralds a Hero’s Long-Awaited Return – Spinning out of « Avengers: Standoff, » a hero will make a long-awaited return to Marvel Comics, and it appears they’ll be connected to the Nova Corps.
With the title « A Long Awaited Return… », the teaser features a golden cross on a black background; the cross echoes the (generally red) symbol on the Nova Corps’ helmet, much like the one Sam Alexander wears in « All-New, All-Different Avengers. »
The teaser also references « Avengers: Standoff, » which concludes in next Wednesday’s « Avengers Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill Omega » #1, so it seems we’ll soon learn who will be making a big return.
Several Nova Corps members are currently unaccounted for, including fan-favorite Richard Rider. Additionally, the solicitation text for Mark Waid and Mahmud Asrar’s « All-New, All-Different Avengers » #10 teases « The Search for Nova’s father, » which implies the Avengers will get word that Jesse Alexander is alive.
Of course, the teaser could have nothing to do with the Nova Corps; the image could just as well tease the return of Quasar, the original Captain Marvel, Darkhawk or someone else entirely.
« Avengers: Standoff » draws to a close in « Avengers Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill Omega » #1, which goes on sale April 27.

20160421 – Jon Favreau: « Superhero Movies are Going to be Around for a Long Time » | Comic Book Resources
Jon Favreau: « Superhero Movies are Going to be Around for a Long Time » – « Iron Man » and « The Jungle Book » director Jon Favreau shares his thoughts on the risks of Marvel’s first film and the longevity of superhero films.
« Iron Man » and « The Jungle Book » director Jon Favreau was recently asked to share his thoughts on Marvel’s superhero franchise at The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Power Lawyers event in Beverly Hills. During the event he commented on the risky success of « Iron Man, » the creativity in « Guardians of the Galaxy, »and his opinions on the future of superhero films.
RELATED: Jon Favreau Praises Spider-Man, Tony Stark Portrayal in « Captain America: Civil War »
During the event, as reported by THR, Favreau was asked about Marvel’s first superhero film, « Iron Man. » According to Favreau, if « Iron Man » had not have been the box office success that it was, Marvel would have had to sell the cinematic rights to that character. « There was a lot of pressure because if that first film had failed, the IP was collateral. If we didn’t make money, they could have lost the rights to all their characters. »
Losing the rights to all of the MCU characters was certainly a huge risk for Marvel to take at the time. « Iron Man’s » $585 million global box office secured the future of the studio and the entire franchise of characters that Marvel is producing today.
Favreau was also asked about the future of superhero films — a question many directors have been asked lately — including Steven Spielberg, who said last year that « There will be a time when superhero films will go the way of the Western. » Favreau had a very different response, referencing « Guardians of the Galaxy’s » creativity and independent film-like style, « If you stamp that as a ‘superhero’ movie, then I think superhero movies are going to be around for a long time. »
At this point Favreau is definitely on the right track, considering studios like Marvel, Warner Bros., and Twentieth Century Fox have superhero movies lined up for the next decade. The genre is also experiencing a shift in tone, considering the vast differences between « Deadpool, » « Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, » and even « Captain America: Civil War, » which could ensure that the genre stays fresher longer than expected.
Favreau also has no plans of getting out of the superhero business anytime soon, especially since he recently signed onto to co-produce Marvel’s next big « Avengers » films « Avengers Infinity War. »
