Amazon Glitch: X-Men Schism And Fear Itself Hardcovers
Okay, so it’s not a glitch. Then again, the Swipe File isn’t all about swipes. A rose by any other name would still have been played by Billie Piper.

Gothamist, Katie Sokoler and Occupy Hallowe’en give us a parade of Occupy Wall Street protestors dressing as their own Working Class Superheroes and Supervillains… Looks like the New York Comic Con costume clash the other week may have inspired them.

Remarkable First Footage And Details Of Richard And Danny Elfman’s Forbidden Zone 2
Very few live action films can lay claim to really, honestly feeling like an animation, but Richard Elfman and The Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo’s Forbidden Zone plays very much with the look and feel of a Max and Dave Fleischer cartoon. Think of, perhaps, Cab Calloway doing Minnie the Moocher for the Bettie Boop…
Listen To All Of David Lynch’s New Album, Crazy Clown Time
Nothing says Halloween more than Crazy Clowns. Perfect timing, then, for NPR to host a streaming preview of David Lynch’s new album. There’s 1 hour 10 minutes and 54 seconds of sheer Lynch on the record. That’s really the only word for it. Even when it’s Karen O on the vocals, like on the first…

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…
Frank Miller Redraws The Dark Knight
The above is a commission by Frank Miller, recreating the splash page from The Dark Knight, below, for one Felix Lu. Such a detailed commission from Miller, it would be quite a rarity these days and rather expensive.

Joe Madureira Wants To Draw A Zelda Comic Series
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. There’s were also a few manga books tied into specific game releases but no US licenced comics for quite some time. This could change if Joe Madueira gets his…
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…
