The wait is nearly over and in March/April we will experience yet another action packed Marvel movie extravaganza! Steve Rogers is back in that very flattering outfit of his. Struggling with his place in a world full of modern values he is faced with history. A somewhat familiar face is making himself known and causing rather a lot of trouble for the stars and stripes hero, We’ll get to see some great new faces as they make their way into the expanding Marvel universe. Agent 23 aka Sharon Carter is introduced although it’s not completely clear how much of an impact she’ll

Have in this film. Sam Wilson will be taking on the role of Falcon and Frank Grillo is Crossbones. It’s great to see that IMDB have listed that Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, Maria Hill (to name a few) will be part of the latest Marvel blockbuster. It has been rumored that a deleted scene from The Avengers will be included in this film. Anthony Mackie is said to have described the film as The Avengers Part 1.5. Kevin Feige also made a remark that the film is like a political 1970’s thriller masquerading as a big superhero movie. Well, I’m just super super excited!

The highly anticipated film The Fault In Our Stars has released a trailer; based on the award winning novel by John Green. This film is bound to provide you with a beautiful story.

The Supernatural spin off has been given a title! ‘Supernatural: Tribes’. It’s not completely convincing yet, but let’s give it a chance! After all we owe it to the guys who gave us the Winchesters!

Marvel have released a 49 second gag reel on YouTube! I’m guessing that this will be a lot longer and provide even more laughs on the DVD. The DVD is released February 24 th, it cannot come sooner! We need our Thor and Loki fix!

Mr. Cumberbatch is to appeal to the crime genre yet again. He’s going to appear in Blood Mountain; directed by Sergei Bodrov. Shooting for Blood Mountain is set to begin in Morocco in April. Benedict’s involvement has not been officially confirmed yet. This means that we may not get to see him battling it out in Star Wars Episode VII, as filming dates would clash. Who can tell whether Blood Mountain will be a hit? One thing for sure is that a lot of his fans will surely show their support!

I happened upon this fabulous artist by pure chance! After typing in Sherlock fan art. I was blown away with their skill and obviously

If you’d like to be an issue’s featured fandom artist. Then email me: Kerrysnode@gmail.com Don’t be shy!

good taste in TV Shows and Films etc. The illustrations ooze skill and utter cuteness. I was happy to find that a few of their items are on Red Bubble, so take a look! Macho Machi is a 19 year old from Indonesia. It just goes to show that awesome fandom artists live all over the world! I hope they continue to please us with their talent!

Reading the book luckily isn’t 100% necessary for the Game of Thrones series. To be honest I prefer the fact that I haven’t ever read the books. The show is incredibly well executed that the surprises, suspense and character progression is all a pleasant surprise, not matter how gruesome! Here are the books in order, in case you did feel the need to peep a little further in their world. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

A Game of Thrones (1996) A Clash of Kings (1998) A Storm of Swords (2000) A Feast for Crows (2005) A Dance with Dragons (2011) The Winds of Winter (TBC) A Dream of Spring (TBC)

 In 2012, apparently well over 160 girls were legally named “Khaleesi” in the United States!  The fabulous actor (Jack Gleeson) who plays the villainous Joffrey received a letter from George R.R. Martin congratulating him on the fact that everyone hated him.  Thomas Brodie-Sangster was 22 when he was cast in the TV series; his character is Jojen Reed who is 13  Game of Thrones has featured 9 actors who have been in the Harry Potter films.  Tamzin Merchant dropped out of playing Daenerys Targaryen for unknown reasons before filming started.  Three Doctor Who guest stars are in Game of Thrones. They are Harry Lloyd, Iain Glen and Thomas Brodie-Sangster.

Season 4 will begin on Sky Atlantic, Monday 7th April @ 9am. 24 hours after airing in the US. Source: Internet Movie Database

Some have read this book as part of their curriculum, so I hope that hasn’t ruined any experience of the book. I read it as an adult and it changed how I think about the world. You may be left with more questions than when you started, but isn’t that just what life is? Get a little philosophical context in your world. It’s only a small book so it won’t take long at all to read it.

If you are always wondering about starting to read comics, then start here. Marvel Legends is a great UK comic that features Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America. They come out every month in your local W.H. Smiths. They’re £3.50 so that’s not a lot to spend every month. It’s only when you become obsessed with the other comics available that it starts to get pricey!

What to add to your subscription list? Source Fed nerd obviously! If you love ALL things geeky then this is for you. The presenters are super funny and have great chemistry. They’ll soon feel like YouTube friends. While you are over at Nerd why not take a lot at their original channel: Source Fed. Games, Films, Table Talk, Comics, TV Shows and more. Delve into all things wonderful and geeky in the YouTube universe, and I promise you won’t regret it! It’s a channel that deserves a million subscribers, lets help them get there.
