The main thing I got out of the trailer was that Xavier and Magneto age terribly while Emma Frost, Mystique, and Hank age incredibly well.  In fact, in the 30-40 yr gap between the settings of the first x-men to this movie, it looks like the two elderly gentlemen quadruple their age, and the rest might actually get younger.  SIGH.   
 
And in light of this bizarre sense of time, I am left with one main question: in the absolutely enormously populated Marvel universe, WERE THERE NO OTHER CHARACTERS WHO ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUNG IN THE 60'S????

I wonder if The Cape is already on its way out and they're looking to fill the spot with something similar to capture the same type of audience but with a better character (and hopefully a much much better show too).

Please do more of these.  This is very helpful.  Thanks!

" A lot of these pages need a little more love than just some headings.  I went through the Catwoman page and tried to pretty it up some with some general formatting, spelling and grammar, and such.  I didn't comb it with a fine tooth comb or anything, and I really need to work on some of the stuff at the bottom of that page.  However, there are pictures down there which can be difficult to work around without deleting and reuploading and such.  If it's one thing that I hate on my own wiki pages that I've put a lot of time in, it's when people delete stuff and then re-add it or whatever.  I will say, however, that people need to make sure they are not MAKING ASSUMPTIONS ON WIKI PAGES!!!  The Catwoman page specifically said that Catwoman was going to be in The Dark Knight Rises.  However, no one...not Nolan, Bale, Hardy, Hathaway, NOBODY...has stated that Catwoman will be in the movie - only Selina Kyle.  I changed up the piece in Catwoman's film history that stated "Anne Hathaway is signed on to play Catwoman and Bane is the main villain being played by Tom Hardy".  If I'm wrong on that, then hey...let me know, but that type of stuff doesn't work on some of the other Whiskey sites (like the Infamous ice-powers scandal).

" @OrionStarlancer: We don't want people going to Wikipedia and re-wording or plagiarizing them for articles here.  Besides I'd say at this point we have more detailed info about comic books than any wiki/database.   Anyone who writes articles for the wiki should be reading the comics they are writing about.

OMG.  This video was made for me, I swear.  I love it.  I should show this to my students this summer. 
 
Oh and Carmina Burana.  Where would soundtracks be without you?

The worst part of this episode by far was when Gregor so easily ripped the Cape of Vince and started using it for his own.  If that thing is so easily stolen, I foresee major major problems.

Dammit, Sara.  I've been planning on writing on this very thing for months!!!  You just beat me to it.  :) To answer the question, I would imagine that comics, like all written works, are in danger of going extinct from the print world. I think comics will hold out longer than books because of the visual aspects of the art, but eventually, they too will inevitably be on readers or on computers.  This, I think, is sadder for comics than for only textual based writing because the beautiful two page drawings or even fold out illustrations as shown in the last installment of The Ultimates by Mark Millar or even Witchblade or The Darkness, would be minimized and lose their effect.  An ipad simply can't replicate this visual effect in size or in texture. Perhaps one element of hope actually comes through the visual aspects of comics considering that we would be unlikely as a community to close museums and galleries with visual arts and paintings and substitute a data file in their place, yet thinking of comics encased in a museum or art gallery has its own set of frightening implications.
 
I did notice, however, that if people go onto Amazon.com and look up a comic they would enjoy reading, there's a button that says "I'd like to read this on a kindle." If you click it, the site will remember.  Perhaps with enough votes, Amazon will consider making a color Kindle more friendly to comic readers, yet the reading screen of the Kindle remains to be considerably smaller than a page of a comic book.   Otherwise, there is a color nook, but that only works with books bought through Barnes and Noble, a company suffering similarly to Borders and therefore, perhaps a risky buy. Then there's the ipad, which is a fantastic toy, but it's backlit which will make it hard to look at for hours and hours (unlike the Kindle) and it's a whopping $500-$700.  Yikes!  Additionally, reading comics on a computer screen often gives you a zoom option to remedy the size difference, but this is largely awful and difficult to navigate when just looking at a print copy would suffice.
 
Ultimately, I don't know what will happen to comics and I would imagine a Kindle is probably in my future since my library of books is too enormous to continue moving different places.  For comics, however, I'm willing to hold out and continue to buy hard copies until that is no longer practical or a digital option becomes close enough in presentation to read though I'm very interested in what the rest of you are planning.

Have you all seen this original trailer for Rare Exports that inspired the current movie about Santa Claus?  You have to check it out because it's so well made.
