New Comic Wednesday: A day where I don't have any comics from DC... A sad day it is.

Happy New Year everyone! The start of 2015 is here and my resolution is... nothing. I have an X-box One now, so what am I going to do now besides go to work and read comics. I hope everyone enjoyed "skip-week" for both comic book retailers and myself.  I found out that tunderstood no kip week so comic book store ownersScarl least have that one week off since they aren't going to be making money with the small amount of books they have.
Anyway, no DC today for once! Ugh. Life is sad. I did get Futures End, but I don't want to talk about that all the time. Oh, and I have Lobo encountering goody-two-shoe Superman. Luckily, Marvel always has a boat-load of books out for you to choose from. Imagine collecting all the Marvel titles, except I don't have to imagine it. I see it at the shop. It get's insane collecting all those titles. The only thing good about having a few issues to worry about this week is that it is good for my wallet. Yay me.

 At least I got the LEGENDARY Star-Lord to keep me company this week. So what we know between last issue and this issue is Kitty wrecks an Avenger's Space jet. Is that a woman joke? You know, cause women can't drive. This coming from a fellow woman... yeah, some of you can't drive. I'm not sorry, just stating facts. Anyway, at least we got Star-Lord's trusty new spaceship friend to help Kitty drive through space. Gotta admit, I don't really like Kitty Pryde, but she made a pretty cool rescue. But, they are slowly making a cute couple. Not that it will work out that much if she hates space and Star-lord just loves it!
I love Star-lord's character, but I want to know where this is all going. Like, I know his big conflict right now is that his dad is hunting him down and trying to ruin his life as revenge. I just, want a crazy battle scene. Like I want something like End-Game to be in other smaller titles. Instead of having stuff like Original Sin and other cross-over stories that force some people to get OTHER books just so they can understand the whole story. Like, I understand that no one can really live up to the masterpiece of most of the Batman stories so far, but can't some comic book characters stand alone as something great? Even if Marvel characters were meant to work as a team, it just would be nice to see something REALLY significant in one single character by themselves.

Before I move on to talking about the other comic, I had this crazy theory about Star Wars! I don't know if some people have seen the preview variant for Star-Wars #1 (which looks like the above comic, but half of it is black and white), but I got a chance to flip through it. I gotta say, I am not disappointed. I was scared that Marvel might mess it up with horrible art or something. But, you gotta figure they are going CRAZY with promoting the Star Wars comic book. Because they know that Star Wars is money. Any keeping us nerds happy means more money for them. Which, in turn, makes them happy as well. Besides that, I think I know the reason that they pushed making Guardians of the Galaxy. Anyone who loves Star Wars and has watched Guardians of the Galaxy knows that GOTG was basically a sillier Star Wars... AND everyone was worried that Disney would make a horrible Star Wars movie, even though most of the work is still going to be done by Lucas Film. Now, they are getting fans excited for Star Wars RIGHT AFTER GOTG came out and did so well. I am not crazy. I think it is true since GOTG was supposed to be introduced to go along with Avengers 3, not the upcoming Avengers 2 with Ultron.
It makes sense. Tell me I am not crazy. Cause I'm not. Really.

I don't know much about the character, but with the upcoming movie coming out... why not right? That's how sales work anyway. I don't usually read comics that I am not too familiar with, but reading this kept me thinking about The Atom. I think it's because they can both shrink down to a tiny size, and are divorced.  Hopefully. Lang's ex-wife is crazy.. at least not Identity Crisis crazy. I did some further research to put my mind at ease. The Atom does come first, appearing in 1940 while Ant-Man first appears in the 60's, but Scott Lang comes way before Ray Palmer. I just don't want to go into further research in who was divorced longer. That just takes too much effort.

What I like about this comic, is that it goes into the hardships of trying to be better for someone important, getting a job, and having life being thrown at you with no way in stopping it. It's real, it's not the luxurious Bruce Wayne story or Tony Stark story. Though, does he already ruin his chance at trying to fix his life before actually fixing his life?

With the comic coming out, of course they are going to have to psyche you up for the movie now! Above, you see the tiny ant-sized ant man... it looks like a variant cover right? Not 100% sure if the movie poster is a joke or not.

Then we have the first look of Paul Rudd as Ant-Man. And yeah, he does Scott Lang some justice. Also, I'm sure you can find the teaser trailer out on the interwebs. I'll still see it, but not to the point where I HAVE TO SEE IT. I'm more like, yeah... sure. i just never understood why ant-man needs his own movie! Give Scarlet witch more than a end credit scene before avengers, but they probably can't because she is a Mutant! But it is Paul Rudd, and he is pretty awesome. Side note, Gwyneth Paltrow said she could be REPLACED as Pepper Potts by a younger actress? Ugh, no! Tony Stark can get any young bitch to be his side hoe, but Pepper Potts is Pepper Potts who is Gwyneth Paltrow. Don't play games with my heart!
