Comic Book News Snapshots: The End of Young Avengers, the new Captain Marvel, and Felicia Day Webcomics

The comic convention WonderCon happened this last week at the Anaheim Convention Center, and news from Marvel was all over the place.

First up, there was the big announcement from Marvel about the X-Men titles, including a new X-Treme X-Men (pictured) series staring Dazzler and an alternate team of X-Men that sounds a lot like the plot of fan-favorite Exiles. The book will be written by Greg Pak. News also came that Brian Wood, formerly of 90's X-Men title, Generation X, will be taking over both Ultimate X-Men and X-Men.

There were also rumors of an X-Men wedding coming up, believed to be that of Northstar and his boyfriend, Kyle, in the pages of Astoninshing X-Men. If so, this would be mark the first gay wedding for Marvel.

In Avengers news, Jeff Parker, Declan Shalvey, and Kev Walker's Thunderbolts will become Dark Avengers, a twist I find awful, since the Thunderbolts (a group of villains who can't decide if they're reforming or not) are awesome and the Dark Avengers (a recent fake hero team led by the Norman Osborn) are not.

The best comics news was actually about Carol Danvers, otherwise known as Ms. Marvel (and sometimes Warbird or Binary), as she will take on the name Captain Marvel and star in a new series by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Dexter Soy. She's not the first female Captain Marvel (that privelge goes to the original Captain Marvel's daughter, Phyla), but Carol is one of the most recognizable Avengers and this will be her third solo series. If you think it's not important for more female characters to be strong and powerful, I suggest you take a lot at these humorous gender-bending costumes. I personally love Carol's new costume and direction.

Dark House Comics has also announced a team-up between them and nerd goddess Felicia Day, who once appeared on Buffy and Dollhouse (and a bunch of other TV shows) but really made her mark with the internet series, The Guild. Day will produce new (and free!) weekly motion comics for Dark Horse.

And finally, we have the momentous occasion of Wiccan and Hulking's first on-panel kiss. The two gay teenagers have been a couple since their first appearance in Young Avengers #1 in 2005 but did not share a kiss until this month. They are also Marvel's most well-known gay couple and one of the few teenage gay couples in comics.

Hoosein' MoollaIn every match Messi plays he dominates. After Madrid seorcd in the 1st minute Messi carried his team, picking up the ball deep in his half and making senational solo runs, one which he forced a save from Casillas and another which set up Sanchez's goal. In the 2nd half Messi paired up with Alves to help create Fabregas' header which took the game away. In every Barca attack Messi is the key and central playmaker or finisher. As Guardiola says: the difference is that we have Lionel Messi not Messi having others around him. What makes a player GREAT is his ability to produce when his team needs it most and when it is least expected. Messi did that after Barca were put on the backfoot from the 1st minute. The real question is where was Ronaldo? Penaltinho is big, but Messi is his BOZZAH!

I voted Other because it's more of a combo of some of the other anwrses, but usually while in the hospital. Usually I only am able to get comics on the way to one of my doctor appointments (as the closest comic shop is in the same town as most of the specialists I have to see). I also have to get a procedure done a couple times a year at least, so I'm always stocked up with some comics to read while I'm waiting and some to read while I'm coming off the anesthesia. It's kinda fitting, to be honest, as I learned to read while I was going through chemo as a kid and my older brother used comics as a means to get me to WANT to learn to read.
