SDCC 2017: The Justice League Comic-Con Trailer & The Return of Superman
The battle between DC Comics films and Marvel Studios movies rages on. Lately, Warner Bros have been shifting their trailers around, hoping to build on the success of Wonder Woman, oddly, without showing more Wonder Woman in their Justice League trailers.... AND IT'S WORKING...inch by inch. Despite troubles surrounding their next Batman movie release, it's getting to the point where Batman V Superman is just something we don't talk about and the name MARTHA shall not cross the lips of hopeful DC loyalists. Stands to reason WB would want to put out a strong Justice League trailer for Comic-Con...and they did just that!

Back into the Sweet Suite 2017 coverage with another visit with LEGO, this time, exploring their video game division and specifically, standing there with my jaw hanging open as I watched a gameplay demo of Marvel Super Heroes 2!! Beautiful visuals..excellent music..nonstop action and a mind blowing villain reveal left me wondering why we can't get more amazing Marvel video games like this one. I know..i'm the demanding fanboy people write about every.damn.day. You can blame it on my passion for all things Marvel or my love of the excellent string of Marvel Studios films, or my lifelong love of Marvel Comics, but whatever the cause, it makes me want everything that gets released with the Marvel name on it to be perfect. Let's check out some damn near perfect video game footage...

Dark Horse's Game of Thrones: Ygritte
Let's dive back into Dark Horse's Game of Thrones figure series with Ygritte, the enigmatic spearwife of the wildlings whose fierce conviction would be enough to make any man of the north lay down his weapons and beg for further...debate. In the end, she will tell them plainly. THEY KNOW NOTHING!!
Ygritte was destined to be a favorite with Game of Thrones fans as her desire to be free and "no man owns me" attitude would make her a highly appealing character in a time where we find ourselves needing every warrior woman we can get in popular media. Whether captive or keeper, Ygritte consistently proves she is ultimately in control and stands as the one woman to make Jon Snow question his motives and alliances.
