Thanos Glimpse Via Avengers Leads to Raccoon
In recent Marvel Comics history, if Thanos was being thwarted, that meant the Guardians of the Galaxy and one tiny raccoon with really big guns: Rocket Raccoon!! I don't know why I find the little guy so appealing, but when it comes to the Raccoon I can only say, "I am Groot!"
So when Thanos was spotted for two seconds at the end of the Avengers Movie, my hope was kindled that the Guardians might be making a comeback after a couple of years of comic book cancellation purgatory.
Last week the cartoon, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, had the Guardians, complete with Groot and Rocket, show up for a cameo then split into space again. That was fun, but I miss my regular Guardian cosmic fix.
But now Marvel is teasing us with Raccoon possibilities on the cover of Avengers Assemble #6, which won't be out until August. And spilling the beans that Zodiac (the Avengers' current bad guys in the series) is being controlled by Thanos himself.
Sounds like a job for the Guardians, except that Peter Quill and Richard Rider were all busy getting dead that last time we saw them at the end of The Thanos Imperitive. But if their foe Thanos made it out (and into the movies), maybe Starlord and Nova will make a return as well.
Don't know what the hell I'm talking about? Go read the Guardian comics (the 2008 - 2010 ones, not the horrible 1970's Guardians) written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (two of the best writers in comics).

Not Everyone is Happy with The Avengers Movie
I loved the Avengers Movie.
I loved seeing all these Marvel Heroes come to life.
It was not "high art" by any measure, but it was a great action movie, and a very good adaptation of the comic book Avengers. I have seen it twice already!
But not everyone is happy with the film:
At the end of the film the defeated alien overlord is groveling before a mighty throne out in space.
We get only a brief view of the crinkly chin of the being who apparently was secretly pulling the strings of the Chitauri aliens who were pulling the strings of Loki. You would be excused for not knowing who that purple chin belongs to. I thought it was a standard Skrull chin at first. But the second time I watched the film I noticed it was purple, and Skrulls aren't purple, they're green (unless of course it was a Skrull shape shifting to look like someone with a purple chin).
So that means the chin most likely belongs to Thanos, the Mad Titan.
Does that mean we get Thanos in Iron Man 3 or Thor 2?
Where Thanos treads the Silver Surfer, Nova and Captain Marvel are usually to be found. That would be cool. But then Marvel needs to do a full out Guardians of the Galaxy Movie with Rocket Raccoon in it.
More likely would be some as yet unannounced Avengers sequel?
Who knows?
But I would watch any and all of the above mentioned movies.
I bet Thanos is not pleased with his scant screen time in Avengers. And Thanos does nasty things when he is in a good mood! So watch out Marvel Movie Universe.
And what the heck is Shawarma anyway?

Airplane Mashup
If you haven't seen the movie Airplane, then this will make no sense.
If you have seen the movie, this still might not make any sense.
But you bought your ticket, you knew what you were getting into. So I say let 'em crash!
