American Library Association: Banned Books Week 2010: 10 Graphic Novels And The Shocking Reasons They Frequently Come Under Fire (PHOTOS)

"Not every book is right for each reader, but we should have the right to think for ourselves and allow others to do the same," said ALA President Roberta Stevens.

Clark Gregg connects superhero films as Marvel's Agent Coulson

After being tasked with keeping an eye on Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in the first two "Iron Man" films, he'll join the cast of Kenneth Branagh's "Thor" in 2011, then move on to Joss Whedon's "The Avengers" in 2012, which will join Iron Man, Thor and Captain America in one film. "Captain America: The First Avenger" will be set in the European theater of World War II in the 1940s (and thus isn't expected to feature Agent Coulson); "Thor" explores the alternate realm of the Norse Gods and its intersection with modern New Mexico; and Iron Man is a technologically advanced real-world environment. All of these worlds will collide in "The Avengers," which is set to begin filming in March.

Stephen King bites back with 'American Vampire' comic book – USATODAY.com

While it's not exactly in vogue in current pop culture, King says there will always be an audience for the bloodthirsty vamp. "And when I say bloodthirsty, I mean thirsty for your blood. I don't mean necessarily a bottle of Tru Blood they get in a bar, or Edward and his family going out there and basically hunting caribou to suck their blood."
