John Rozum recently talked about his problems as writer of Static Shock, citing that he was hardly writing the book, the actual work being split between artist Scott McDaniel and editor Harvey Richards, which is why he chose to walk off the book with issue 4, not wanting his name to be associated with work…
The Darkness #100 is on its way… And this is the first you’ll have seen of the Todd McFarlane (above), the Michael Golden (below) and the Marc Silvestri retailer incentive (further below). 48 pages for $4.99 US, it’s out the last day of February. But since the Darkness II game comes out today, it seems…
It was the recent ICV2 interview with Marvel Senior Vice President-Sales David Gabriel that did it. Answering a questionnaire with no followups, he managed to dodge some questions by answering different ones, and throw some googlies at the opposing team. But he’s hardly alone in this, DC’s Executive VP-Sales, Marketing and Business Development John Rood…
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…

What the world needs now is a new videogame movie like I need a roundhouse kick to the face. All the same, here come two – and two very similarly themed ones at that.
We’ll start with the poster for the upcoming Tekken movie, which is based upon the Namco beat ‘em up. There was an international onesheet doing the rounds a few weeks back but this, I’m told, is the US design – though I’m sceptical. Look at the release date: Thursday 29th of July.
Tekken‘s director is Dwight H. Little, previously complicit in the unleashing of Anacondas: Hunt For The Blood Orchid and Free Willy 2. He’s also been the director of quite a lot of geek-friendly TV – Dollhouse, The X-Files, Prison Break.
Here’s the film’s plot summary from IMDB:
A Young Man Who seeks revenge of his mothers death. He finds his grand-father, Heihachi Mishima, and pleas to be trained. When the Mishima leader announces a “King of Iron Fist” tournament. He finds out that his mother’s killer, OGRE, will be participating in the tournament. He must fight against the worlds top competitors to achieve his goal with no interference.
Next up, here’s the trailer for the King of Fighters movie, which is based upon the SNK beat ‘em up.
The film’s director is Gordon Chan. He made a film in 2005 called Kung Fu Master (not based on the video game) and another in 2000 called 2000AD (not based on the comic book). Chan apparently also did some uncredited writing on John Woo’s Hard Boiled and uncredited directing on the Stephen Chow Royal Tramp movies, so he should have some cred with even casual followers of Chinese and Hong Kong genre cinema.
There’s no plot summary for King of Fighters on IMDB, so let’s just go with…

…because, come on, how different can it possibly be?
We’ve finally been given a look at Loki’s forces in the new, extended trailer for The Avengers, as premiered online just after a cut-down version graced the Superbowl.

Here’s the new TV spot for The Avengers as premiered during the Superbowl – just, longer now. And that’s a good thing.

Is it Spider-Man? Or has Iron Man just got a fancy new paint job? This is the costume he’ll be wearing in the upcoming Ends Of The Earth storyline, as the machinations of Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six are made clear. There’s webbing design on the lining as well. Related Posts:Spider-Man’s New Costume Gets…
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. There was another name that I dismissed as it was denied directly – that of Kevin Smith. His…
