The word on the street is that Marvel's Avengers will be making an appearance at San Diego Comic Con on Saturday. For fans who have been patiently waiting for some news, any news, about the sequel Avengers: Age of Ultron, this is a welcome rumor. It's been a long two years since we last saw Black Widow (Scarlet Johansson), Captain America (Chris Evans), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) team up to take down evil.
To make the wait (until Saturday) more bearable, here's an (enormously delightful) eight-bit, Megaman-esque version of the first movie. No quarters necessary:
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
