New Promo Art for 'The Avengers' Has Surfaced with the Whole Team

Back during Comic-Con , we got our first official look at The Avengers by way of a huge concept art banner that was released piece-by-piece. Not only did the image give us our first look at Hulk, but it also included Nick Fury and Black Widow fighting alongside the rest of the team. Now we have a couple more spectacular team shots in the same vein as the illustrated concept art, and they look pretty kick-ass. In addition, there's a new concept art image of Loki as well as an interesting image of Nick Fury that kind of looks like it belongs on the back of an action figure box. You can check out all the new images below!

Check This Out: First 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' Teaser Poster

By Alex Billington

Oh yea, this is going to rile up a few of you. Or should I say fire up. Ha - anyway, Columbia has unveiled the first official teaser poster for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, the Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor reboot of the Ghost Rider series, with Nicolas Cage back, too. The poster comes from ShockTillYouDrop, but it's not much, it's something we've even seen before - at Comic-Con (I want to see those other posters!). All we get this time is just a flaming hand and chain, and the tagline: "He Rides Again. 2012." Okay, sounds good, but when do we get to see that flaming skull on a poster? That's what I want to see! Anyway here it is:

Robert Rodriguez's 'Sin City 2' Financing Set, Waiting for Final Script

By Alex Billington

We've known for a little while now that Robert Rodriguez's Sin City 2 would finally be his follow-up once Spy Kids 4 was completely finished. Even during his big panel at Comic-Con, Robert Rodriguez quickly confirmed that things were moving along and the long overdue sequel was likely to start shooting sometime this year. However, news is now going around, with multiple confirmations and quotes from We Got This Covered (via /Film) and The Playlist, that Sin City 2 is definitely going to happen, financing is even in place, and they're just waiting for a finalize script before they can start shooting. Wait - is the cast set already, too?

Webb Explains the Mechanical Web-Shooters in 'Amazing Spider-Man'

By Alex Billington

As many have no doubt noticed in the numerous photos for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man that we've featured in the last month, Spidey has mechanical webshooters in this new iteration, harkening back to the original comics where Peter Parker built them as inventions of his own, a testament to his intellect. There was a small blurb in Entertainment Weekly about the web-shooters, but it didn't really say too much. However, Hero Complex also caught up with Webb at Comic-Con and got him to spill beans behind the true origins of using mechanical versus organic, and it involves comics legend Stan Lee, of course. Who else?

Review: 'Captain America: The First Avenger' is the Best Avenger Yet

By Jeremy Kirk

Captain America: The First Avenger Review

Captain America: The First Avenger, the final stop on the road to next summer's The Avengers movie, is the best Avengers movie yet. A slick and stylish period piece, it takes us back to the World War II era of steam and metal with explosive results, a solidly told story of one man's physical rise to the greatness found within him, and the beginning of what is sure to be a blockbuster comic book franchise. Directed by Joe Johnston, the film has a look, story, and character all its own but never feels out of sorts with the other pre-Avengers films. In essence, it is the perfect lead-in, the ideal set-up for bringing this character into

First Look: Hulk in 'The Avengers' Unveiled on Final Concept Art Poster

By Alex Billington

While many have seen the teaser trailer for Marvel's The Avengers at the end of the credits of Captain America this weekend, the Hulk was nowhere to be found. However, it's time to change that, as Marvel has unveiled it's last collectible poster of Comic-Con 2011 to reveal a full-on concept art poster collecting all six of the Avengers together in what looks to be their first group photo. It's a fantastic reveal and is indeed our first look at Mark Ruffalo's Hulk in Avengers, plus an early look at what we can expect (look for the Helicarrier the background). Such an awesome concept art tease! Click on either image for higher res below.

Fantastic Marvel Posters for Hawkeye & Black Widow in 'The Avengers'

By Alex Billington

Not only is it Comic-Con weekend, but it's also The Avengers weekend, as the teaser trailer is showing at the end of the credits of Captain America in theaters worldwide. Marvel is releasing a series of posters for The Avengers, character posters that are hand-drawn artwork that they're giving out at their Comic-Con booth all weekend. They've already released Iron Man and Captain America, but now they've unveiled the new posters for Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and they're pretty cool. As far as I know, this is our first online look at Hawkeye in his costume. Check them out below!

First Official Teaser Poster for 'The Amazing Spider-Man' Just a Tease

By Alex Billington

I know there are plenty of Spider-Man fans out there, even those who aren't excited for next year's reboot, and although we just saw the teaser trailer yesterday, I still need to write about this poster. I came across this while perusing the Comic-Con showfloor last night and decided to take a clean, high res photo for everyone to get a better look at. It's the official teaser poster for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man and features the new logo and the new Spidey symbol from his superhero costume, which we've seen plenty of thanks to new photos and that trailer. There's nothing else, not even a tagline, but it's still a sleek poster.

By Alex Billington

Avenge! It's going to be an exciting week with Comic-Con just on the horizon, but don't forget that Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters everywhere right in the middle of the madness this weekend. To spice things up, Mondo is coming to Comic-Con with a booth this year (#433) and they're also debuting/selling a series of prints made for Captain America. Four of the five posters are Hydra propaganda posters, like this one by Olly Moss, one was made by Tyler Stout (via SlashFilm) also seen below. These aren't so much propaganda as they are just badass posters for an awesome superhero movie, and I love 'em!

Must Watch: 'Captain America: The First Avenger' Second Full Trailer

By Alex Billington

"Just a kid from Brooklyn!" Marvel and Paramount have unveiled the second official trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger, starring Chris Evans and directed by Joe Johnston, and it's frickin' awesome! This is the second full theatrical trailer following the initial teaser debuted back in March, so this has certainly been a long time coming, but it's definitely making the end of this summer look like it'll go out with a bang. The cast includes Hugo Weaving as Red Skull, Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, Tommy Lee Jones, Stanley Tucci, Dominic Cooper, Sebastian Stan and Toby Jones. I cannot wait, this looks so amazing!

Awesome Retro Poster Made for 'Captain America: The First Avenger'

By Alex Billington

We've already got Marvel's Thor out of the way, next week is DC's Green Lantern, but coming up after that is one more big Marvel movie - Captain America: The First Avenger. The Hero Complex Film Fest is this weekend and today they're showing Marvel's Iron Man 1 and 2, with Jon Favreau as the guest. We've heard a new Captain America trailer is debuting there, but to compliment that, Hero Complex online wrote about their contest to win this retro poster - which was made by artist Paolo Rivera as a cast and crew gift only. Damn! It's a totally frickin' awesome old school poster and it only makes me more excited to see this!

Three New Character Posters for 'Captain America: The First Avenger'

By Alex Billington

Avenge! We haven't seen any new posters since that very first Avenge poster earlier this year for Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger, but finally a brand new set of international character posters have popped up on Cine Marcado from Brazil. Featured in the set are posters for Chris Evans as Captain America, Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, and Hugo Weaving as Red Skull. To be honest, these posters are a bit plain and a bit cheesy, I feel like I'd find them on sale at Wal-Mart in the kids section the week of release. Still cool to see something new with a few months left until this Marvel movie hits theaters.

Mini Comic Books for 'Super 8' Launch an Online Comic Art Contest

By Alex Billington

"The Soviets sent a DOG, the US sent a NUKE." Ohh you've gotta love classic comics. We're now a few weeks away from J.J. Abrams' Super 8 hitting theaters (June 10th) and there's some cool marketing cross-overs coming out of the woodwork. Or maybe they could even be called virals. Apparently there was a mini 12¢ comic found in various recent DC comics. It featured the rather intriguing cover art you see above/below (what's happening?) and a comic strip that lead to a blank panel so that fans could participate in this part - an online Official Comic Book Art Contest. This is pretty frickin' cool! More details can be found below.

Marvel's Kevin Feige Hints at the Epic Scope of 'The Avengers' + More

By Alex Billington

With the summer finally about to kick off later this week once Marvel's Thor hits theaters, there's lots of talk of Marvel around town. Paramount held a press junket in Beverly Hills this past weekend, where the entire Thor cast and Marvel Studios' overlord Kevin Feige participated in a press conference and interviews. Quotes are popping up everywhere but I don't want to spoil anything, so the ones I'm focusing on are for The Avengers. Feige mentions some very interesting things that should keep building buzz, plus there's a few great quotes from my new favorite actor Tom Hiddleston. He kicks ass as Loki in Thor.
