John Romita, Jr. Talks Avengers!

We did an interview with John Romita, Jr. last week as part of the new blitz for Kick-Ass and he let drop a few juicy tidbits about his involvement with the new Avengers book launching this May.  This will be the first time the triumvirate of Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America will be reunited on The Avengers since Brian Michael Bendis’ “Avenger’s Disassembled” Arc from almost 10 years ago.

Romita is a superstar in the Marvel world and one of my favorite artists.  When he let slip a few things about the book, I was incredibly excited.  It might not be much, but it gets me going, for sure.

“I can’t tell you a whole lot about [the Heroic Age] because I’m not really privy to a lot of it.  And second I’m kind of jumping onto Avengers without a lot of advanced notice even on my part.  It was a last second thing.  It’s kind of like trying to hop onto a causeway with a tricycle.  I’m catching up. So I don’t know much about the Heroic age other than what’s in the Avengers book I’m working on, and it’s a very contentious story line.  Brian Bendis is brilliant and I know where he’s going with it and it’s amazing.  As far as how it’s connected to the other stories I don’t know, but what I’m doing with the Avengers and every character in the world is in it, I’m sure it has a lot to do with what I’m doing right now.

When asked about keeping up with things in the Marvel U, he dropped this tidbit:

“But because of Brian and the advent of doing this, right after I was supposed to be doing Thor, and I did the Free Comic Book Day issue with Iron Man and Thor, I started reading some side issues and paying attention and I’m really loving it.  Now they have a time travel story line involved here and the Hulk is involved here. It’s amazing.  It’s incredible and it’s a testament to Brian, a testament to all the writers, but I don’t read enough to give you guys any insight.”

So come back later today or tomorrow for the full interview with John Romita, Jr. as well as another interview with Mark Millar, and a bigger look at Kick-Ass and the future of the Millar’s work in the Ultimate Marvel U.

TRAILER: Iron Man 2

Tonight brought us another Oscar broadcast, but more importantly, it brought us another trailer for Iron Man 2.

This one fleshes out some scenes and ideas from the first trailer and completely blows some things out of the water.  It also serves as the first real introduction (other than a simple visual) of both Scarlett Johannson’s Black Widow and Sam Rockwell’s Justin Hammer.

And that suitcase Iron Man suit was incredible.

I really hope this one can top the first one and lead into a tremendous Avengers picture.
