***This article discusses the mid-credits scene of Avengers, and if you haven’t seen it yet and have managed to avoid spoilers, well, that’s impressive and we don’t want to ruin it for you.**

Nearly a year ago, reports surfaced that Marvel Studios was looking at Guardians of the Galaxy as a potential future movie property. Though it excited fans, it also seemed like ultimately a long shot — it’s a relatively unknown commodity to all except hardcore comic book fans, and one that has only existed since 2008 (since it’s the present-day cosmic team that’s in development, not the 31st century superheroes that have been around sicne 1969). Plus, the last superhero/sci-fi movie was Green Lantern, a major financial and critical disappointment.

Following a few recent developments and the continually escalating success of Avengers, it seems like a Guardians of the Galaxy movie might just happen, potentially as soon as 2014.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige himself mentioned it as a possibility last month at the Avengers press junket, expressing his fondness for the property and listing it among Inhumans, Doctor Strange and the long in-the-works Ant-Man as non-sequel films being considered.

DC ended the working week with the announcement that a He-Man and the Masters of the Universe miniseries is on the way, written by James Robinson and with art from penciler Phillip Tan and inker Ruy Jose.

The series will run for six issues, and picks up in a world dominated by Skeletor, who has made Eternia’s heroes forget their Master-ful nature. After the Sorceress awakens He-Man to his true purpose, he embarks on a quest to restore the rest of the gang. (Including, we hope, Snout Spout.)

10 Most Important RELAUNCHES in Comic Book History

By Newsarama.com

To the comic book industry, it’s certainly surprising that a major publisher like DC Entertainment would relaunch 52 titles with revised continuity and new #1s.

And for long-time collectors of Uncanny X-Men, it’s shocking to think the comic will start over with a new #1 in November.

But the idea of relaunching comics isn’t exactly a new one.

Over the years, it’s become fairly common to “start over” a comic’s numbering. Some titles start over every few years. Just ask a comic shop for Captain America #1 and you’ll get the answer, “Which one?”
