Wolverine & The X-Men Trailer

This is probably going to get pulled soon, given that it no longer exists on the official site, so watch it while you can: Sort of like a mix between X3 and Days of Future Past, huh? With a little Messiah CompleX thrown in?

Late Lunch with Linkage

Are cold hot wings an oxymoron? Bone author Jeff Smith's new book RASL couldn't sound more different. Although I guess it's kind of hard to stick with the "talking bone" genre. (Via) Here's every reason why Dr. Banner ever hulked out (on the TV show, at least) (Via) The Golden Loeb's are finally o

Mondays Are For Movies

After a weekend of talking and hearing about nothing but over-muscled men running around in tights, it's nice to get back to comic books: As soon as the strike is over, Spider-Man 4 is in the works. Is that good news, or bad news? (Via) Oh, and also? Venom: The Movie. (Via) Finally... Greatest Ame

"Wanted" Superbowl Ad!

Straight from the future, it's the 30 second Superbowl ad for Wanted, the adaptation (and I say that very loosely) of Mark Millar's comic book series. FYI, no one will blame you if you think this is the trailer for a new Matrix movie:

Wormwood GC Calamari Rising

Well this is one crazy, well-drawn comic. Wow this is a weird comic. The pages are all very dark -- I guess to give it that living-dead corpse feel. This is definitely a creepy comic. I am not sure if I loved it, but I am definitely going to check out the next one. This is the first Wormwood comic

Project Superpowers #0

This is how a zero issue should be. I hate really good zero issues, it makes no sense. If it is going to be a really good zero issue, just make it issue #1. I am looking at you Black Summer. (Spoiler) So this issue was mostly back-story, which is what you want in a zero issue. Alex Ross did a lot

JSA Classified Hourman

This is a classic, fun one shot. (Spoiler) You actually feel bad for the bad guy at the end of this. Kind of has a Rocky Balboa feel to it. Rocky is walking around and telling stories about his fights. Then for the way it is drawn it has a Star Wars feel to it. Hourman keeps looking like Darth Vad

Super Obama Girl

You'd think they'd let Obama Girl come on our show, with all the super-hero stuff they do over at Barely Political. But nooooo. Whatever, I'm out of here. [Alex tears off in his awesome Pulp-Cycle]:

Fridays are For Films

So... I had food poisoning, hence the lack of blog posts. Sorry guys, when you're projectile vomiting from the couch, comic book news takes second priority*: New pics from Hancock of Will Smith in costume. I really hope at some point in the movie, Big Willie Style's catch-phrase is, "I'm sorry, I'

New CAP?

So there I was at Midtown Comics, getting my stack-o-comics. A guy with a camera wanted to ask me about the New Captain America. I asked him what this was for and he said for Good Morning America. Sure, lets do this. So the guy asked me what I think of the kind of statement this comic is making by
