Marvel’s May Avengers reveals continue this week in a mysterious way. May 2010 will bring Secret Avengers #1 by Ed Brubaker and Mike Deodato. The first teaser is shows a character in a Spider-Man like pose, but I don’t think it’s the wall crawler.

One, the quote “I focus on the solution, not the problem” doesn’t sound too much like a Spidey quote. It’s upbeat, but to technical and cold sounding to be Spider-Man.

Second, if Spider-Man is going to be in an Avengers book, I’m guessing it will be in the Bendis written Avengers title.

Since this title is written by Ed Brubaker, I bet we’ll see Steve Rogers in here in some capacity.

The term Secret Avengers was used during Marvel’s Civil War  to cover the heroes that were against Iron Man and the Superhero Registration Act.

Firestorm’s most recent incarnation (student Jason Rusch) makes his animated debut on Batman: Brave and the Bold tonight on Cartoon Network. Here’s the info about “A Bat Divided!”

A school field trip goes awry when Dr. Double X causes lab explosion that fuses slacker science teacher Ronnie to his genius pupil Jason creating the reluctant hero firestorm…and unbeknownst them, it leaves Batman divided into three parts!

Tom Everett Scott (Booster Gold),  John Michael Higgins, (Riddler), Tyler James Williams (Firestorm), Bill Fagerbakke (Ronnie), Ron Perlman (Double X/Dr. Ecks)

Marvel has released the latest teaser for Brian Bendis and John Romita Jr’s Avengers title, shipping in May. It looks like the god of Thunder will rejoin the Avengers.

I, for one, love Romita Jr’s take on Thor.

It looks like Clint Barton is back as Hawkeye in Brian Bendis and John Romita Jr’s May Avengers reboot/restart. There was speculation that Bucky was taking on the role, due to the metallic looking nature of Hawkeye’s arm in a previous promo piece of art. However, it looks like that was just the artists interpretation of Hawkeye’s new costume, which features chainmail on the arms.

More supposed concept art from the Green Lantern film has appeared online, this time featuring the Guardians (Oans) and future villain Sinestro. The Guardians don’t look short – which I can understand from a technical standpoint. I also like the modified look of Sinestro. The extended forehead may be a classic look, but it’s not the most realistic looking design. The version below looks cinematically perfect.

On a side not, artist and comic creator Sal Abbinanti was on a recent episode of Comic Geek Speak and revealed that longtime friend Alex Ross was doing some concept art for the Green Lantern movie.

Before getting too excited, Ross has done concept work for a few other comic movies before and his ideas aren’t always used (Spider-Man). However, it’s nice to see DC Entertainment is seeking out the best when planning this movie.

Need to show DC Comic a little teaser love, so here’s a variant cover for Green Lantern Corps #46. Looks like everyone’s favorite Black Lantern power source is back wearing a Black Lantern outfit himself.

I’m very interested to see what they do with the Anti-Monitor. He’s an amazingly powerful villain that was underused in Infinite Crisis. I hope he’s as powerful as he should be this time out.
