Wizard Magazine's Mega Movie Issue
Wizard magazine informs us that March will see their new "Mega Movie Issue". We've got the cover right here...
It's the biggest event in Wizard Entertainment history.
With so much movie material—over 150 pages worth—Wizard: The Comics Magazine had to create an extra issue. For the first time ever, Wizard unveils a 13th issue, the Mega Movie Issue, on sale at your favorite comic store March 9 featuring an exclusive "Batman Begins" movie photo cover.
Get ready for some of the biggest and best features you've ever seen in Wizard: The Comics Magazine. We take you behind the scenes of some of the biggest comic movies—"Batman Begins," "Spider-Man 3," "Fantastic Four," "Superman," "X-Men 3," "Iron Man," "Namor," "Ghost Rider," "Silver Surfer," "Deathlok," "Wonder Woman"—the list goes on and on.
And we also let you get up close and personal with some of the biggest names in comic book moviemaking, including "Spider-Man 3" director Sam Raimi, "Superman Returns" director Bryan Singer, "Batman Begins" star Christian Bale, "Fantastic Four" stars Michael Chiklis (The Thing) and Julian McMahon (Dr. Doom), Marvel Studios CEO Avi Arad and more. Singer takes you onset for his first extended "Superman Returns" interview from Australia in a 9-page mammoth exclusive that touches on everything from why he chose Brandon Routh to play Superman to a review of the entire cast to why he left the X-Men movie franchise.
But it wouldn't be a regular issue of Wizard without plenty of controversy and debate you can't get anywhere else. Debates like: Who's the best comic movie hero of all time—Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) or Wolverine (Hugh Jackman)? Best comic movie ever—"Spider-Man 2" or "X2"? Best villain—Magneto (Ian McKellen) from "X-Men" or The Joker (Jack Nicholson) from "Batman"?
We also give you exclusive art you won't see anywhere else—photos of Dr. Doom in action from the "FF" movie, a look inside the Batsuit and Batmobile from "Batman Begins," our own versions of movie posters for upcoming projects like "Iron Man" and "Namor," a visual rundown of the top villain candidates for "Spider-Man 3" and a peek at what a solo "Wolverine" movie might look like. We even throw open the door to Marvel Studios and spend a week inside their offices, watching their every move from trying to decide on a director for "X-Men 3," plotting out the future of movies like "Ghost Rider," "Black Widow," "Silver Surfer," "Deathlok" and more and also their plans for the "Ultimate Avengers" DVD.
Comic creators also weigh in with their favorite movie moments, we cast the "Iron Man" and "Namor" movies and we run down the 55 Comic Movie Things We Can't Wait to See…including CGI Sentinels, the Green Lantern Oath Onscreen and Spider-Man's Black Costume/Venom.
