X-Men: Age of Apocalypse: Charles Xavier is dead – killed twenty years in the past during a freak time-travel accident – and the world that has arisen in his absence is dark and dangerous indeed. The Darwinian conqueror Apocalypse rules with an iron fist, ruthlessly enforcing his dictum that only the strong shall survive – and in Apocalypse’s long shadow, hidden among a downtrodden humankind, are a group of ragtag freedom fighters led by Xavier’s oldest friend, Magneto: the Amazing X-Men! When Bishop, last survivor of the true Marvel Universe, locates the X-Men and explains how the world went wrong, these embittered mutants and their tenuous allies must risk everything – and undertake a dangerous and multi-pronged quest – to put things right! The comics event of 1995 is collected in one deluxe oversized hardcover!

Trailer Debut for ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’

A trailer for ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ has been released, it shows Spidey fighting not only Rhino and Electro, but also the Green Goblin. There are lots of hints about the story element here, and Sony seems to want to impress with lots of action and visuals. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone continue the romance and good chemistry as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacey, however some of the visuals fell flat, especially the big Electro set piece at the end. Overall it looks worth a visit to the theatre, if only because I’m a huge Spider-Man fan.
