Hey O&G fans, Marvel has given us a little clue about what the 2015 Civil War/ Secret Wars tie-in is about. Battle world has been re-visiting some of Marvels great story arcs, and this time from creators Charles Soule (Death of Wolverine, Inhuman) and Leinil Yu (Avengers). Heroes fighting one another in a nation divided, the conflict has been going on for six years now. Captain’s forces square off against Iron Man’s, under the command of General Steve Rogers and President Tony Stark.
Peace is far from attainable, and each side will do whatever it takes to end the war. The Top-Secret project Bellcurve is said to have the ability to end the war in one swift stroke, there is talk of damning information that could topple the President Stark administration from within, and what will our heroes’ enemies do to exploit the Superhuman Civil War to their advantage.
Marvel history is reshaped on Battleworld in Civil War #1.

Secret Wars #1 Review
/
Image Credit: Marvel Comics
Hey O&G fans, today Marvel's long awaited Secret Wars starts and the Marvel multiverse is coming to an end! Previous events that ran through the Avengers: The Incursions,The Avengers World, The Great Society, Avengers: Time Runs Out, Avengers: The End of Everything, led up to these events and this series is the end result of Hickman's work on Avengers Vol. 5 and New Avengers Vol. 3 (both of which concluded last week). Hickman has been busy weaving a massive saga about the death of Marvel's multiverse and the failure of the Avengers to protect their world.
The issue opens with Ultimate Universe's Nick Fury leading an all-out assault on the Marvel U., various other factions seek their own ways of cheating death and surviving the coming apocalypse. (After the events of Original Sin I think this Nick Fury may survive). The battles in this issue are epic! 616 Universe and Ultimate Universe going head to head. Superior Ironman unleashing his arsenal against the Avengers only to be knocked back by the Hulk, Colossus, and Captain Marvel. There are alot of geek-out moments, fans can see some of their favorite heroes and some they may have forgotten about back in action.
This first issue was great and although it seems the Marvel universe as we know it may be coming to an end, it looks like it might be one hell of a story. My hope is that this epic event doesn't start strong and disappoint as it comes to an end.

Elektra or Bullseye: Who should be the Nemesis for Daredevil season 2
/
Elektra Bullseye
Hey O&G fans, with the success of Daredevil season 1 on Netflix and the series being green lit for a season 2, who would you like to see the devil of Hells kitchen face off against next? Elektra or Bullseye? Both are one of Daredevils greatest foes at one time ( Elektra eventually becoming an Ally and Lover). Both are extremely popular with DD fans.
For those who aren't familiar with the characters here is a quick bio:
Elektra
Elektra Natchios, the daughter of a Greek ambassador, studied the martial arts as an adolescent. While in the US with her father, she began studies in political science at New York's Columbia University. There she met another student, Matthew Murdock, who would later become Daredevil. Murdock revealed to her that he had superhuman senses that compensated for his blindness, and they fell in love. A year later, Elektra and her father were held hostage by terrorists in a building on campus. Wearing a scarf as a mask, Murdock with Elektra's help defeated the terrorists. However, a policeman mistook Elektra's father for one of the terrorists and shot him dead. Emotionally shattered, Elektra decided she no longer believed in the law and wanted to withdraw from the world. She left America and Murdock.
She eventually studied martial arts with a sensei in Japan. She left to join the secret organization of martial artists headed by Stick, who was also Murdock's sensei. She spent a year in Stick's order and greatly developed her martial arts skills. But, Stick asked her to leave the group because she was still filled with pain over her father's death and hatred for the world she blamed for it. Elektra spent years as a bounty hunter and assassin for hire
Elektra was hired by Wilson Fisk, the alleged Kingpin-of-Crime, as his chief assassin. In this role she fought Daredevil and was ordered to kill Matt's best friend and law partner, Franklin "Foggy" Nelson. However, she could not go through with the assassination when Foggy recognized her as "Matt's girl, Elektra." Soon afterward, she fought and was killed byBullseye who sought to reclaim his former position with the Kingpin. Elektra died in Matt Murdock's arms, seemingly lost forever.
Bullseye
A mercenary of mystery, nothing is really known about the man called Bullseye.
Bullseye battles (and defeats) Daredevil at a circus in order to establish his reputation as an extortionist. Shortly after, Daredevil by chance overhears him in the midst of an extortion attempt and captures him. Bullseye is later hired by Maxwell Glenn to kill Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson, and Daredevil interferes. Although Bullseye defeats him again, Daredevil escapes with his life, and Bullseye's professional reputation is damaged as a result. Seeking to regain his credibility, he challenges Daredevil on live television, but is soundly defeated.
*(Side Note) During one of his many fights with Daredevil, Bullseye was drop off a Multi-Story Building and broke all his bones which paralyzed him. Japanese scientist Lord Dark Wind had Bullseye brought to Japan, where he laces his bones with adamantium, thus restoring his mobility.
So now that you know a little history on each character, Who would be a a good Nemesis in Daredevil season 2. Charlie Cox gave his opinion to IGN “I love Stilt-Man. I love Owlsley. I think in our show we’re more likely to see the likes of Bullseye, The Punisher and Elektra. I don’t know if any of those characters will appear, and also I don’t know what’s going to happen with Wilson Fisk. He’s certainly not out of the picture. Hopefully he’ll come back.”
ELEKTRA would be a front runner to appear in season 2. With Rosario Dawson's (Night Nurse) taking a break from Matt Murdock for a bit, having Elektra come in as his new love interest who later turns into a deadly assassin works great for the series. You could also tie in her training with Sticks and her involvement with his mysterious clan. You could also keep the kingpin's presence in season 2 to by having him hire Elektra to assassinate Daredevil.
Bullseye is one of Daredevil’s greatest foes, on par with Wilson Fisk. He is a lethal assassin who can make any object into a deadly projectile. Season 2 might showcase some epic battles between Bullseye and Daredevil. Having him as the antagonist also gives the writers the opportunity to have Elektra in the season (Since he kills her in the comic book series). Plus I think fans would love to see Bullseye use various things as a weapon!
So who would you choose? Will it be the sexy assassin or the Precision throwing psychopath? Either way if season 2 of Daredevil is anything like season 1 it will be awesome!

Hey O&G fans, today Call Of Duty Black Ops 3 "Ember" Teaser Trailer was released. The video shows us the world after Black Ops 2. It paints a bleak future where humanity has become too reliant on advanced technology and prosthetics that, before, were hailed as marvels of humankind's progress.

The trailer leads up to and ends at 2060, which hints Black Ops III could place at that time. Black Ops 3 will be out later this year. The publisher is sharing more details about the game on April 26. Here is a look at the Trailer:

One of the original X-men comes out as Gay in All New X-Men #40
/
Image Credit: Marvel Comics
Original Story: The X-Men have been described as "uncanny," "astonishing," "all-new" and "all-different" - but a leaked issue of Wednesday's All-New X-Men #40 shows off a new side of a founding X-Man that might not be too much of a surprise for long-time fans.
**SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ALL-NEW X-MEN #40 **
The Advocate was one of many sources Tuesday morning to report that in this week's All-New X-Men #40, founding X-Man Bobby Drake/Iceman - at least the one pulled from the past in All-New X-Men's launch - is revealed as gay. The news comes by way of leaked pages from the book that
Marvel later confimed with Newsarama to be legitimate.
"There are thousands if not millions of stories of people who, for many different reasons, felt the need to hide their sexuality. The X-Men, with the conceit of time travel, give us a fascinating platform in which to examine such personal journeys,” Bendis said. “This is just the first little chapter of a much larger story that will be told.”
The scene in question shows Jean Grey pulling Drake aside to call him out on comments made to female X-Men. When pressed, Grey reveals she used telepathy to invade his mind to discover that Drake was overcompensating to disguise the fact that he is gay. After initially denying it and pointing out that his older, modern-day self has not come out, Drake and Grey come to some terms with it. Below are the pages in question, again confirmed by Marvel to be legitimate.
All-New X-Men #40 is scheduled for release April 22, 2015.

Wild Storm Oral History Project
/
Hey O&G fans, author Joseph Hedges is writing a book on the history on one of the great comic book studios. Started in 1992 Wild Storm began under Image comics and quickly became it's own brand. In 1998, DC Comics bought WildStorm -- both its characters, universe, and its staff contracts -- to join the fold of its DC Multiverse.
About The Project
This oral history project’s goal is to present a detailed account of the nineteen years that WildStorm Studios existed as its own independent studio, publishing under Image Comics, through its purchase and eventual closure by DC Comics. WildStorm helped shape the comic book industry in many ways and deserves to have its story told through the very words of its creators and staff. These men and women shepherded the creation of a universe of characters that resonated throughout a generation. Please see the “Forms” section for interviewee details.
So lets show Joseph Hedges our support and spread the word. Below are links to the site and all social Media. Visit the WildStorm Oral History site for details on the project.
