Pretty much as premiered last night at Sony’s The Untold Story special events, here’s the first full trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. This time there’s Lizard, there’s more back story and there’s a good sense of the “new” Peter Parker. I say “pretty much” because those of usat the events got to see it in…

And now Neonomicon.
Jacen Burrows is no slouch either. From Warren Ellis’ Scars to Garth Ennis’ Wormwood and Crossed, Burrows has made a name for himself as a slick artist with the storytelling abilities of the likes of Steve Dillon. He also drew The Courtyard, adapted by Antony Johnston from the original HP Lovecraft-based short story to which Neonomicon is a sequel of sorts. Directly written as a comic by Moore for Burrows, alongside League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen this is the only comic book being written by Alan Moore.
And it’s nasty. The preview you’re getting here is a way to ease you in, horrors expressed as asides by the two agents, hinting at far greater horrors to come. I met Jacen earlier this year and he told me some of the very graphic and grotesque aspects of this series. It looks like it may well be to horror what Lost Girls was to porn. Very clever, very intricate and buckets of horribleness.
Neonomicon: The Hornbook is a preview of the series, being published later this year. It is out tomorrow in the US and on Thursday in the UK for $1.99.

Is it Spider-Man? Or has Iron Man just got a fancy new paint job?

When reporting early rumours about Before Watchmen, almost every name I was given turned out to be true – Darwyn Cooke, Brian Azzarello, JMS, Amanda Conner, JG Jones, Andy Kubert, Joe Kubert, Adam Hughes and John Higgins.
