For fans of the Marvel Comics components of Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure theme park, there's been some concern about whether parent company Disney will eventually claim theme park control over their intellectual properties. So far Universal's maintained their regional theme park stake in the characters, and after catching a glimpse of just what goes on in the theme park care of Laura ...

Image Comics continues its seemingly week-long Avengers marketing parody today with the latest (and most insane) supposed member of "Guardians of the Globe" today with the least likely member yet: President Barack Obama, or his comic book counterpart anyway. Joining the feasible Invincible, the much less likely Spawn and a completely ridiculous Rick Grimes from Kirkman's "The Walking Dead," ...

If 2009's animated multiversal epic "Turtles Forever" taught fans of the TMNT one thing, it's that the goofy '80s TV series was, like, mondo insane. That insanity stemmed from the inherent innocence of the show's cartoon violence, which somehow never amounted to a single real casualty (although they cut through robots by the thousands). Now, thanks to a new short by Collegehumor, fans can finally ...

After thoroughly enjoying Tom Root's handiwork on this week's "Jughead" #200, I happened upon a pretty telling back page ad for iVerse's line of Archie's digital-exclusive releases. Behold: "Betty & Veronica Summer Spectacular Presents: Betty the Vampire Slayer v.s. Vampironica": I know Archie's wholesome adventures aren't for everybody, but I couldn't help but chuckle as I imagined the ...

While the story direction of Sega's "Iron Man 2" video game as written by IM current comics scribe Matt Fraction will deviate from the film for the sake of more interesting gameplay, judging from Superheroe Hype's exclusive screen shots and renders, I really don't think fans will mind. There's War Machine headed to the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier. Well, a proper logo isn't visible, but given the ...

Ever since t-shirts went up on Anthony Clark's Nedroid store on TopatoCo, I've speculated that perhaps additional items might join them in due time. Actually, I've mostly just begged for action figures, but that's not important. What is important is this wonderful fan-created Beartato pillow repurposed from a Beartato tee. Behold! Crafted by Flickr user Starangelakki, the shirt-turned-pillow ...

While most would agree that Spider-Man video games have improved by literal leaps and bounds in the past three decades, there's been some backlash against current rights holder Activision for resting on its laurels since the release of "Spider-Man 2" in 2004 and its more or less redeco "Ultimate Spider-Man" two years after. But according to Kotaku, an upcoming issue of GamePro Magazine may provide ...

Yesterday Comic Book Movie debuted the very first set photos from the upcoming "Green Lantern" movie staring Ryan Reynolds. As a fan of Geoff Johns' current GL run, I metaphorically rushed to check each shot out. Problem is, aside from a semi-blurry shot of Reynolds in what appeared to be a green ring, the images just aren't that exciting. Don't get me wrong, I didn't expect to see Reynolds in ...

While yesterday's "Avengers" marketing parody by Image comics seemed rooted in at least a dash of seriousness with a feasible shot of Invincible seemingly announcing his spot on The Guardians of the Globe's new team book launching in August, the publisher's newest unveiling calls everything into question. Spawn and Invincible have crossed paths before, albeit briefly in massive battles and ...

From the character's earliest days at Warren Publishing more than 40 years ago, Vampirella's distinct brand of costumed monster-slaying has held a popular place in fandom somewhere between superhero and horror titles. Now, after years at Harris Publications (along with a false-start at Fangoria), Vampirella's found an official new home at Dynamite Entertainment. Dynamite's officially acquired ...
