(We previewed it here a couple of days ago.) She talked to us about …
Does this gun look familiar? It should: It’s the PPK Handgun, better known perhaps as James Bond’s pistol of choice, and newly trademarked by the US Patent & Trademark Office following a blind online survey that proved that 54% of those polled were not only able to recognize the pistol but link it to 007 himself.

Between Green Lantern, X-Men: First Class, Transformers: The Dark Of The Moon, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and countless other genre movies, summer 2011 looks to be filled with high profile genre fare for moviegoers.

With The Walking Dead pulling in 5.3 million viewers during its debut episode, it’s safe to say that the show can be classified as a hit for AMC.

It’s time for another look at some of the best scenes from last week’s comics. This week we’ve got problems with the in laws, the return of Amazonian flight, a tough loss for Man-Thing, a modern Superman, and of course, Clint Barton making a face. It’s time for Panel of the Week!
Hellblazer – City of Demons #2
What’s emerging as my …
Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s superb All-Star Superman appears in an oversized “Absolute” hardcover edition this week. It’s one of the best Superman stories ever created–a beautiful encapsulation of everything that’s great about the character. As with a lot of Morrison’s work, it’s also filled with tiny details that don’t call …
