Never one to miss a promotional tie-in, Marvel.com has posted a rundown of the publisher’s greatest moments in sports. The "Marvelous Moments in Sports" roundup was clearly written before the big game, because it lacks the sorrowful tone one might expect from a post-game writeup by New England Patriots fan Ben Morse. In fact, it’s…
Spider-Man fans everywhere rejoiced when it was announced that the hero’s popular arch-enemy, Venom, was planned for the third big-screen installment of the "Spider-Man" film franchise. Unfortunately, the film failed to live up to expectations for most diehard Spidey (and Venom) fans. Recent reports regarding a potential Venom solo project could provide cause for celebration…
German schoolchildren will soon be incorporating a comic book into their lessons about the Holocaust and the Nazi regime, according to Reuters. The Search, described as a "Tintin-style" story, was created by Dutch cartoonist Eric Heuvel, and explores the Holocaust through the perspective of a fictional survivor. German officials hope to use the book to…
Journalista calls out this two-part series on Bunny, The Queen of the In-Crowd, and other late-1960s attempts by Harvey Comics to market stories to hip teenagers. With all of the hype surrounding publishers attempts (or lack thereof) to market comics to a female audience, the Bunny retrospective provides an interesting look at an early attempt…
Science-fiction fan site io9 has posted a video clip in their "Found Footage" section featuring the climax of 1994’s live-action "Fantastic Four" film, which Roger Corman produced and Marvel Comics spent heaps of money to hide from the public. Okay, I’ve never seen the full film, but I’m quite certain its depiction of Ben Grimm,…
Just in case you haven’t been getting enough Star Wars in your diet lately, Lucasfilm has debuted a new character for the upcoming "Stars Wars: The Clone Wars" animated series. The new character’s name is "Ahsoka Tano," and the Lucasfilm site has this to say about her: This young Togruta is eager to prove herself…
The "Return of Captain America" media assault managed a few more parting shots this weekend, as the new Cap found his way onto an episode of "Good Morning America." If you can ignore the glaring inaccuracies in the show’s presentation of the events leading up to Bucky Barnes becoming the new Captain America (Cap died…
The Beat points me to an interesting panel in one of the recent Grant Morrison-penned issues of Batman. Apparently, the very, very vocal campaign for Batman continuity to acknowledge the existence of short-lived female Robin, Stephanie Brown, received a nod in Batman #673, during a dream sequence scripted by Morrison. Girl-Wonder.org is, of course, quite…
Superbowl XLII was exciting, sure – but did you catch the trailers for "Iron Man" and "Wanted" that debuted during the game? Well, don’t worry if you were grabbing a beer when they aired, because the InterTubes always come through. The new footage from "Iron Man" included quite a bit of Tony Stark (Robert Downey…
Chris Ryall, IDW Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, recently posted this new, untitled promo art by Nick Roche for an upcoming Transformers project. That’s about all there is to say about it, other than the fact that it’s now my new desktop background.
Marvel.com has posted a screencap from this weekend’s much-hyped "Iron Man" trailer scheduled to air during the Superbowl. The screencap shows Tony stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) testing a new suit. They also promise to post the full trailer on Marvel.com immediately after it goes on the air, just in case you were in the kitchen…
Somewhere out there are several hundred people with drawings of their homes rendered by Tony Millionaire. I would very much like to find them.
