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…

Before seeing the trailer, I’d been thinking that Bourne without Bourne would seem to be a risky proposition at best.

There’s only one way to get to the bottom of Ridley Scott rumours, and that’s to go to Ridley Scott.
Another Wednesday, another set of MPAA ratings from the guys at CARA. This week, however, a real surprise nestled away near the bottom. Newly awarded a G rating is a new Disney submission, Paperman. The only information given is that it’s a “short subject.” Luckily, Google exists. What I managed to find so far are…
Show down at the Super Bowl. Sort of.
I read a little concern from certain retailers over the Vertigo Preview 2012, out free in comic stores today, over the fact that the Fairest preview contained full frontal nudity, and they may not have expected that in a free giveaway. Goodness, I thought. And considered that it would be remiss of me not to…
USA Today reports that in today’s issue of Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 9 from Dark Horse Comics, Buffy shares her newly discovered status as a pregnant woman with her family and friends.

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.
