MAUS IN THE HOUSE

Art Spiegelman gets New Republicked…

In the end it all amounts to the dumbing down of culture, the authority of the dizzying high points turned into souvenirs of "personal self-awareness." The Spiegelman show, which includes lots of scratchy sketches and dime-store souvenirs, is a gathering of scraps from an autobiography, which will do just fine for a museum-going public that has been encouraged to mistake autobiography for art.

WAX ON, WAX OFF

The Marvel 4D Madame Tussauds show is moving from London… to Las Vegas. And STen Lee will be there.

Madame Tussauds will also debut its first fully immersive Marvel 4D theater, featuring the largest line-up of Marvel figures ­ such as Iron Man, Nick Fury, Thor and Captain America ­ to be seen in one room.

JUGHEAD UNDEAD

From Variety;

In a scene from the second issue of "Afterlife with Archie," due out Wednesday, an undead Jughead (more on that in a bit) chomps into the neck of Big Ethel, the awkward teen who has long nursed a crush on him. Blood flows. Flesh is eaten. Given these new circumstances, Ethel probably wishes the two had never met.

BATKID FOREVER

Couldn't you just see the adorable Batkid on the silver screen? Imagine him in a tux walking down the red carpet at his own film premiere? It'd be cuteness on an epic level. ScreenCrush tweeted a mock poster for Batkid's big movie debut and it looks awesome!
