Black Ops 3 Teaser Trailer

Hey O&G fans, today Call Of Duty Black Ops 3 "Ember" Teaser Trailer was released. The video shows us the world after Black Ops 2. It paints a bleak future where humanity has become too reliant on advanced technology and prosthetics that, before, were hailed as marvels of humankind's progress. Another interesting thing this video shows is how advanced prosthetics has ended disabilities, given athletes the ability to reach levels they never thought they could achieve.

The trailer leads up to and ends at 2060, which hints Black Ops III could place at that time. Black Ops 3 will be out later this year. The publisher is sharing more details about the game on April 26. Here is a look at the Trailer:

One of the original X-men comes out as Gay in All New X-Men #40

Original Story: The X-Men have been described as "uncanny," "astonishing," "all-new" and "all-different" - but a leaked issue of Wednesday's All-New X-Men #40 shows off a new side of a founding X-Man that might not be too much of a surprise for long-time fans.

**SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ALL-NEW X-MEN #40 **

The Advocate was one of many sources Tuesday morning to report that in this week's All-New X-Men #40, founding X-Man Bobby Drake/Iceman - at least the one pulled from the past in All-New X-Men's launch - is revealed as gay. The news comes by way of leaked pages from the book that

Marvel later confimed with Newsarama to be legitimate.

"There are thousands if not millions of stories of people who, for many different reasons, felt the need to hide their sexuality. The X-Men, with the conceit of time travel, give us a fascinating platform in which to examine such personal journeys,” Bendis said. “This is just the first little chapter of a much larger story that will be told.”

The scene in question shows Jean Grey pulling Drake aside to call him out on comments made to female X-Men. When pressed, Grey reveals she used telepathy to invade his mind to discover that Drake was overcompensating to disguise the fact that he is gay. After initially denying it and pointing out that his older, modern-day self has not come out, Drake and Grey come to some terms with it. Below are the pages in question, again confirmed by Marvel to be legitimate.

All-New X-Men #40 is scheduled for release April 22, 2015.

Wild Storm Oral History Project

Hey O&G fans, author Joseph Hedges is writing a book on the history on one of the great comic book studios. Started in 1992 Wild Storm began under Image comics and quickly became it's own brand. In 1998, DC Comics bought WildStorm -- both its characters, universe, and its staff contracts -- to join the fold of its DC Multiverse.

About The Project

This oral history project’s goal is to present a detailed account of the nineteen years that WildStorm Studios existed as its own independent studio, publishing under Image Comics, through its purchase and eventual closure by DC Comics.  WildStorm helped shape the comic book industry in many ways and deserves to have its story told through the very words of its creators and staff.  These men and women shepherded the creation of a universe of characters that resonated throughout a generation.  Please see the “Forms” section for interviewee details.

So lets show Joseph Hedges our support and spread the word. Below are links to the site and all social Media. Visit the WildStorm Oral History site for details on the project.

Inferno's Demonic DARKCHYLD and NIGHT CRAWLER Design

Hey O&G fan today we have a look at Inferno, one of the story lines from Secret Wars. Here is a look at the Darkchyld and Night crawler designs.   The designs, by Garron show Illyana Rasputin going back to an old style and Nightcrawler evolving into something pretty demonic.

The Inferno series is essentially a story asking "What If the original 'Inferno' crossover  never ended?" In this series, the X-Men lost and Darkchylde and her minions conquered Manhattan. Now, five years on, her brother Colossus is mounting a last-ditch effort to rescue his sister and the world. This will be a little different from the original Inferno story arc from 1989.

Jared Leto's The Killing Joke Inspired Joker Photo

Suicide Squad is about to begin production soon. However that is not stopping director David Ayer of getting fans hype for the film. Today Ayer tweeted a picture of Jared Leto holding a camera. I know some of you're saying big deal. Actually it's a huge big deal. If The Killing Joke Joker is the one we might get for the film. Then all I have to say is this is going to be The Joker for ages. As you see from the pic below Leto hair appears to be green. He's holding the camera the same position as The Joker. The only thing missing now is the killer smile. Personally I hope Ayer will ease up on the teasing. I would love The Joker's reveal to be kept under wraps until the film comes out.
