I know many of us have been suspicious of a Spider-Man reboot, coming so soon after Sam Raimi's trilogy — but damn if this new trailer doesn't look like a lot of fun. You get to see the wise-cracking wall-crawler humor, plus the old-school "Spidey hunted by the cops" action. And there is a lot of action in general, with Spidey climbing bridges and buildings and doing insanely acrobatic stunts. More »

This is apparently the week where comics imitate real life. Not because this week's books are especially topical, but rather because this week's shipping list is, really, all about Battlestar Galactica. More »

It's a relatively light week at comic stores this week, but that's to everyone's benefit, as what is coming out may just blow your mind so much that you wouldn't be able to read anything else anyway. New (non-Clone Wars) Star Wars, new futuristic superheroes, the return of Spider-Man's favorite alien and something to deal with your David Tennant-longing while Doctor Who is off-air all await you under the jump.

People have already uploaded crappy cameraphone copies of Samuel L. Jackson's notorious cameo in Iron Man, and we wouldn't be able to call ourselves spoiler maniacs if we didn't post a copy here. Our spoiler pride also drove us to dig up some new X-Files 2 details and pore over some pretty spoilery new Indiana Jones photos. We've also found out which enemy Batman fights at the end of the direct-to-DVD animated Gotham Knight, and the identity of Spider-Man's latest enemy. We're all about the spoiler pride. More »

It's pretty easy to see why the live-action Amazing Spider-Man show hasn't ever made it to DVD. It's not just the lame special effects, like the obvious stop-motion camerawork when Spider-Man uses his webshooters to grab someone's gun or cobweb a gun-happy dowager. Nor is it the fact that every episode includes half an hour of Peter Parker and friends sitting around discussing world affairs. There's also the extreme silliness, like Spider-Man using his Spider-Vision (huh?) to spy on the women's bathroom. Or the villains deciding "there's no time" to unmask him after their Oddjob-esque henchman has used his throwing stars to collapse the balcony he was standing on. We've collected some of the silliest bits from one episode, just to illustrate why you should be writing postcards to demand CBS/Fox not issue this series on DVD. More »

What is the best way to get a job writing Marvel Comics? Apparently, the answer may be "Make a fan film where a drunken Supergirl complains about an anorexic Thor, who is responsible for bathing the Hulk, before they all learn to become a pop band." That was the route taken by Zeb Wells, former indie filmmaker turned one of the new writing staff of Amazing Spider-Man. View the video in question and find out what led from that to getting paid to write jokes for Spidey after the jump. More »

The holiday season is the perfect time to celebrate families torn asunder due to demonic intervention. This week sees the release of the long-dreaded Amazing Spider-Man #545, the comic which writer J.M. Straczynski almost took his name off. The demon Mephisto has offered to save the life of Peter Parker's Aunt May — but at the cost of undoing Parker's marriage to Mary Jane. We already know what choice Spidey will make, but the fun is in watching his marriage splinter, and bitching about it online afterwards. More new comics coming Friday (thanks to holiday delays) after the jump. More »
