FearWatch: A page from Attuma: The Worthy, the free Fear Itself digital comic from Marvel. PovertyWatch: CNN asks if the price of cheap phonebook manga is starving artists? Um… the evidence says not.

Unlikely Big Spoiler Casting For Doctor Who Finale On IMDB
Do you remember how IMDB had Norman Lovett cast for Davros in Doctor Who: The Parting Of Ways a couple of years ago? One of the problems with the site is that people, when accredited, can just add names, sometimes at random, to film and TV listings without proper checks. It relies on the honesty…

New Sherlock Viral? Or Something Geekier?
Below you’ll see a photo of a poster, hanging on a bus shelter. It was taken by Little Bleeder Ian, who wondered: I don’t know if this is genuine viral marketing or just a bunch of students. You can see a #believeinsherlock hashtag on the bottom right hand corner. I went to Twitter and searched…

The last time I remember reading a Legend Of Zelda comic was back in the nineties, from Valiant Comics before they decided to move into superheroes.

The Robins – A New Comic From Jeff Lemire?
He’s done gangbusters for DC Comics, taking C-list character Animal Man, whose return to the DC Universe from DC Vertigo had been lacklustre at best, and turned him into a surprise critical and commercial hit as part of the DC New 52. So it’s only natural that DC might tap him for any other bright…
Warner Bros. Nix ElfQuest Movie, Pin Blame On The Hobbit
I would assume that the success of The Lord of the Rings and the huge interest in The Hobbit, not to mention the extraordinary, eight-film success of the Harry Potter series, would encourage Warner Bros. to look seriously into all of their similar options, but the studio has not to move ahead with a long-developing…
