Alan Rapp / July 16, 2012 / Film News & Trailers

At Comic-Con Marvel Studios made several official announcements concerning their next slate of comic book movies currently in the works and set to hit theaters over the next two years. Yes, Edgar Wright‘s Ant-Man is going forward. Yes, Iron Man 3 will star Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin. Yes, the Guardians of the Galaxy (complete with Rocket Racoon) will make their big-screen debut in 2014. And we’ve also got new titles for two of the sequels. Thor: The Dark World doesn’t offer much in terms of hints as to the plot but Captain America: The Winter Soldier sure as hell does (there are also reports that Anthony Mackie has signed on to play the Falcon).

To take down a shipping CEO (Cary Elwes) responsible for a plane crash the Leverage team comes back together after their separate vacations to run an elaborate con involving Howard Hughes‘ vintage aircraft, the Spruce Goose. The team also has mixed feelings about moving into their new Portland headquarters, in the back of a microbrewery, following the events of last season’s finale that left their former home base burned and staked out by several members of law enforcement.

Scarlet Spider #7

Alan Rapp / July 16, 2012 / Comics

Title: Scarlet Spider #7
Comic Vine: link
Writer: Christopher Yost
Artist: Khoi Pham

Although we don’t get the appearance of Kraven (which was teased last issue) things are hardly quiet for the Scarlet Spider who saves a falling beautiful young woman from an explosion in a high rise only to find out later, while in bed with her (in a terrific opening), that she was the one responsible for the explosion.

The fact that the woman disappears without a trace and the man whose building she blew up sweeps the whole matter under the rug leads our hero to initally try and forget the matter, but (as Aracely points out) he can’t. The Scarlet Spider’s investigation into the company Roxxon leads to the discovery of another explosion in Galvaston which was hushed up months ago.

His attempts to get some answers from the CEO of Roxxon do lead him to the identity of the distrubed young woman but also find him squared off against the Southwest’s mightiest heroes – The Rangers. Worth a look.

[Marvel, $2.99]
