BOOM.

There it is… I said it.

Title and story details are being kept under wraps, Arad only saying “some titles give away too much”. The project is still very much in the early stages and the producers will soon be meeting with writers to pen a screenplay.

“At the ripe old age of 90, he can still put together magic,” said Arad. “He’s as sharp as a Japanese cooking knife. His mind is as young as it used to be.”

The project is still in the early stages. It’s setup at Columbia Pictures and will be produced by Arad, Lee, Ari Arad and Gill Champion.

Wait goddamit! This is not the teaser for the Avengers movie.

I mean it is, but it’s not… Well, what the heck, see for yourselves.

See?

This is the Comic Con teaser for the upcoming Marvel’s “The Avengers” sequel ‘Age of Ultron’.

And meanwhile, a new synopsis for the film has popped up on IMDb revealing the origins of the ‘Ultron’. According to the synopsis, ‘Ultron’ is created by the U.S. Government as a response to the events at the end of the first film in an effort to have an alternative option to protect the Earth. Of course, Ultron turns against humanity which prompts the reassembling of the Avengers.

Here are some more of the eerie and cool posters for our beloved superheroes. Marko Manev from Skopje, Macedonia managed to capture them in a very intense and true noir atmosphere which reminds me of the game, Limbo a little.

Great work, Marko.

It’s not only that they are OLD comics, but also they are in very good shape for a book that has been sitting on it’s butt for seventy years or more. There are only a few of those among maybe barely a hundred or two in the world.

Original artwork from heavyweight comic book artists who passed away are also enduring legacies and legends.

“In a way, these are almost like Rembrandts or Picassos,” Michael Zapcic said in an interview with the Wired magazine. “Because these are the last 100 that you’ll ever see of these, I don’t think the price will ever really go down. However, I don’t know how much [higher the prices] could go.”

Here are some of the “holy grail” books with astronomical selling prices.

Action Comics No. 1

This issue of Action Comics No. 1 went for $323,000 but another issue of it sold in late 2011 for $2.161 million. Other copies have sold for prices ranging from $300,000 to $1.5 million.

Amazing Fantasy No. 15

Amazing Fantasy No. 15 is known as the first appearance of Spider-Man. In 2011, an issue of this 1962 Stan Lee-Jack Kirby comic with a CGC grade of 9.6 sold for $1,100,000.

Detective Comics No. 27

Detective Comics No. 27, famous for containing the first appearance of Batman follows Amazing Fantasy No. 15. In early 2010, a CGC-graded 8.0 copy of this 1939 comic sold for $1,075,500.

Todd McFarlane Original Art From The Amazing Spider-Man No. 328

This piece of original art by Todd McFarlane sold at auction for an astounding $657,250 earlier this year, this may be surprising for many, because a piece of art from 1990 had reached a level that not even an original piece by Jack Kirby had ever commanded.

The X-Men No. 1

A copy of The X-Men No. 1. Graded 9.8 by the CGC, brought in $492,937.50.

Fantastic Four No. 1

This original issue of Fantastic Four with a CGC grade of 9.4 brought in $300,000 when it sold in 2011.

Todd McFarlane Original Artwork From Spider-Man No. 1

Another piece of Todd McFarlane cover art from Spider-Man No. 1 went on sale at the same time as the McFarlane piece that sold for north of $600,000 and this one sold for $358,500.

But some people have different minds, and always come up with something new, or at least a new twist on an existing idea. Arian Noveir of France took his favorite (or simply the most popular) superheroes and gave them a silhouette treatment – making them look a bit more complicated with some sort of dark undertone than they usually do, using paint drops, splashing and brush strokes.

Batman

I’m not sure the artist meant it, but the big ink stain to the right of Batman’s head makes me think about how everything began for Bruce Wayne - His parents getting shot, their blood, the basis to him becoming Batman in the future.

Hellboy

Hulk

Iron Man

Spider-man

Superman

Wolverine

Thor

I kinda thought he was Hawkman at my first glance, but no one actually cares about Hawkman these days.
