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…
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…

Bleeding Cool’s Grace Randoph and Newsarama’s Alan Kistler discuss the comic industry’s week of news in this Between The Pages edition of Think About The Ink… so that means Watchmen.

The Uploaders are a series of sketch comedy videos online, and their current location of choice is the comic shop. Illusive Comics & Games, specifically, where regular character Virgil is at work in the comic store and finds himself destroyed by his female boss, co-worker and customer. It’s incredibly misandrist, but works in context of…
I don’t understand how American TV works at all but it seems strange that Community has been put on an indefinite hiatus in the middle of a season. Isn’t that just the sound of an axe whooshing in? Perhaps not. Perhaps my BBC-addled, six-episodes-a-year brain can’t grasp it. Here’s a very sincere and straight-up PSA…

Next month sees the London Super Comic Convention, a new comic con focusing solely on the comics medium, being held at the London ExCel Centre, the same venue that hosts the twice-yearly MCM London Expo.

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 are four screen grabs from the single shot in which they appear with any degree of clarity: So it’s not the Skrull or the Kree –…
Here’s the new TV spot for The Avengers as premiered during the Superbowl – just, longer now. And that’s a good thing. For those of you who watched the Superbowl just to see this commercial, tell me: was it worth it?
