Okay the writer's strike sucks. I'm sure we can all agree on that. I get why it's happening. People are entitle to what they're entitled to. From a selfish point of view, it sucks. But the good news, no great news, is Marvel Studios have come to some sort of agreement. Read on for yourself:
Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of Marvel Entertainment, Inc., and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) announced today that they have reached an interim comprehensive agreement that will put writers immediately back to work on the Marvel Studios development slate. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
“We're very excited about our summer releases, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, and look forward to resuming work with writers on our future projects including Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, and The Avengers,” said Marvel Studios Chairman David Maisel.
“Marvel Studios' signing of an interim agreement with the Writers Guild is more good news for our membership,” said WGAE President Michael Winship and WGAW President Patric M. Verrone. “Marvel is committed to fairly compensating their writers and now they can move forward with their planned production schedule.”
I want more comic-based movies. Let's hope things continue to go smoothly and we get some more great flicks to look forward to.

I just can't go ga-ga over this group of Avengers. Compare Mighty with New. It's almost as if there isn't a comparison. Both are well written by Bendis. I'll admit I do like the return of the "thought balloons." Maybe it was a tiny bit much but it was entertaining. I like Frank Cho's art. Leinil's art is amazing but...sometimes...lacking a tiny bit in detail. I'd love to have his style but it is pretty different from David Finch's clean, detailed style. I just think that New has a better roster. They're almost more of a family even though they can barely trust each other with all the Skrull stuff going on. Mighty's roster just doesn't do much for me. Plus there's the fact that Iron Man is on the team. Although having been turned into a hot chick is kind of funny. Funnier than Rob Schneider's flick.
Nuclear missiles have been launched, Iron Man is nowhere to be seen and the Sentry is mourning the loss of his wife. Oh yeah, Ultron’s back and it’s taken the form of Janet Pym so it can wreak havoc on the world! In Mighty Avengers #5, from the red-hot superstar creative team of writer Brian Bendis and artist Frank Cho, it’s the penultimate chapter of the team’s first mission…but is there any way to defeat a foe who just won’t stay down? Ares, former villain turned ally is Earth’s Newest Mightiest Hero, but he may just be their last hope!
Luke Handley of SilverBulletComicBooks.Com praised the series, exclaiming, “Bendis seems to effortlessly combine good old superheroics with his usual trademark banter.”
With the entire world at risk, the Mighty Avengers put it all on the line to stop the seemingly unstoppable Ultron and when the dust clears, the team will never be the same again! It’s all coming up in Mighty Avengers #5 as Earth’s Mightiest confronts Earth’s Deadliest!
