Rumor has it Marvel has confidently renewed the upcoming Avengers series for a second season due to strong demand in toy merchandising (the same thing happened with Ultimate Spider-Man)
The upcoming Hulk series, on the other hand, only has 13 episodes at this time. Marvel is cautious due to harsh fan reaction and lack of merchandising demand. Don’t get too attached.
Disney, which acquired Lucasfilm and LucasArts last year in a $4.05 billion deal, has shut down the legendary LucasArts division.
“After evaluating our position in the games market, we’ve decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company’s risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games,” Disney informed Game Informer in a statement. “As a result of this change, we’ve had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles.”
Although a Star Wars game factory in recent years, the publisher will be remembered for its work defining the adventure genre from the ’80s to the ’90s, on such titles as Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle. The soul of those games and that era moved on from the company after the departure of Ron Gilbert and Double Fine’s Tim Schafer.
The most recent project we are aware of by LucasArts is Star Wars 1313, but rumors have circulated for months about that project’s ceased development. There’s also the unclear fate of Star Wars: First Assault.

At age 16 Jordan began buying and selling toys professionally and never looked back.

The Red Band Trailer and Poster for Kick-Ass 2 are Here!

March 13, 2013
Universal Pictures has released the Red Band trailer (via MTV) for Kick-Ass 2, the August 16 release written and directed by Jeff Wadlow and starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Morris Chestnut, John Leguizamo, Donald Faison and Jim Carrey.
After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.
When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.
Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.
