It's the last big comic book movie of the summer, Captain America: The First Avenger. There was a lot riding on this movie because it's the final piece of the puzzle, connecting the Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Thor films and all leading to The Avengers, which will be the big Marvel movie in 2012.
I'd say this is probably one of the most anticipated trailers to come out of SDCC. I think it's safe to say that Season 2 is going to be pretty incredible.
There is a lot of summer movie conversation and a heavy concentration of Marvel titles are discussed.
NEW CONTEST!
Our new host needs a nickname, but to make things more fun, we all want new nicknames. The twist is, they have to be in the style of the old Marvel Bullpen as perfected by Stan 'The Man' Lee. He annointed creators with such names as Merry Gerry Conway, Gentleman Gene Colan (or Gene 'the Dean' Colan), Sturdy Steve Ditko, Rascally Roy Thomas, Jazzy John Romita and of course, Jack 'King' Kirby.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with the best nicknames for Dan, Scott and Jeff.
The deadline is 12:00am, July 31st, 2011. Email your submissions to comicbookpitt@gmail.com.

It's been a great time to be a fanboy. First, we had the teaser for The Dark Knight Rises, then we got our first look at Season 2 of The Walking Dead, then the post-credit scene from Captain America was leaked online featuring our first look at The Avengers and now the official teaser for The Amazing Spider-Man has hit the internet.
I'll be the first to admit, despite the sheer star power in this movie, I wasn't thrilled about a reboot, but I'll also admit that this teaser has me a little excited.
I've never been a big fan of the Ultimate X-Men, but the creative team of Nick Spencer and Paco Medina has me interested in at least picking up the first issue.
But why why why WHY does Marvel insist on having Iceman always wearing either a hat or a doo rag when iced up?!? It makes NO sense!
One man took up the challenge to become the first new member of Comic Book Pitt since it's inception. One of our first listeners and good friend, Jeff Moreci, is our new co-host and he'll be alternating weeks with the Duke.
In this episode, Jeff and Dang have one long conversation, first catching Jeff up on DC's "The New 52" project and then talking about digital comics, independent comics, selling off comics, repurchasing comics we sold, and seller's remorse.
