Awkward exposition, wooden performances, and dated editing turned this would-be mystery thriller into a punchline. Much of the problem stems from the fact Sony manufactured an origin story that doesn’t exist in the comics (and nobody really asked for). Though perhaps more galling, is how it wasted multiple Spider-Wo
In other Cap news: comic book insider Rich Johnston over at Bleeding Cool has been keeping careful eye on the June 17th release of Captain America #600 and the July 1st release of Reborn #1, two books which are rumored to feature the resurrection of the recently deceased Captain America .

Marvel Pinball is exactly what you would expect from reading the title alone; it’s Marvel themed, Pinball fun. You get four different tables, and each table offers something from each of the superheroes it features. Wolverine, Spider-Man, Iron-Man and Blade are your four superheroes with this title, and they also bring along with them some friends. Sabretooth, Silver Samurai, Dr. Octopus, Green Goblin, Mandarin (Whiplash) and Deacon Frost are some of the handful of recognizable characters that you will find on each respective table. Each table is very colorful and quite beautiful, and I’m sure hardcore Marvel fans will enjoy pointing all the little nods to its universe’s enormous amount of content. So, how do these tables play, and is it worth your cash to download this title? Read on to find
Its adaptation of the legendary “Dark Phoenix Saga” was rushed and underdeveloped. It turned a complex narrative into a simplistic showdown. Key characters were killed off unceremoniously, and the emotional weight built across two films was vaporized quicker than Professor X d

A dark version of Sam Raimi’s **Spider-Man 2 ** takes place in a different universe. Often regarded as the definitive Marvel movie and one of the best superhero movies in history, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 placed Doctor Octopus as a top-tier supervillain. Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock wanted to push the boundaries of science, only to be turned into a monster by his own creati
Jon Favreau had commented on how he doesn’t know if they can do Iron Man 2 so quickly as he felt he’d need a full two years to make the sequel just as he did the first. At the same time, **Thor ** hadn’t even begun pre-production and it was rumored they were still sorting through script drafts – It wasn’t until September that they had found a director in Kenneth Brana

As a pinball game, Marvel Pinball is as solid as they come. The physics featured in this game are identical to pinball machines you would find at your local arcade. Plus, you get to enter and record your high scores, compare them up against the world, compare them against your friends, and even the vibration feedback makes you feel that much closer to the real thing.

You lose three balls, and you’re out. Game o
