We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Marvel’s site has a brief interview with Drake Bell who will be voicing Spider-Man in the new animated series. Disney XD will have Ultimate Spider-Man on its schedule for 2012. Another example of how Disney is trying to get the teen male ratings that they have been anxious for.

I don’t remember my Battleship game being like this. Watch the trailer below and see what you think. Thanks to YahooMovies for the trailer.
This weekend’s newest fare at the movies is a mixture of the Western and Science Fiction. Welcome to the adaptation of Scott Mitchell Rosenberg’s Cowboys & Aliens graphic novel. With two big name stars in it (Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford) this movie might have some legs. Thanks to YahooMovies for the trailer below.

This week’s AMV is from YouTuber lenray1. You can find it under the tag “D.N. Angel – Everyday Superhero – Smash Mouth”. The tag pretty much tells you everything. Lenray1 uses images from D.N. Angel to the tune “Everyday Superhero” performed by Smash Mouth. D.N. Angel is one of my favorite anime’s and then add Smash Mouth’s song…..Great job lenray1.

ICv2 reports that CEO Mike Richardson, of Dark Horse Comics, announced that Dark Horse will be adding New York Times bestselling House of Night series to it’s publishing schedule. P.C. & Kristen Cast, along with Kent Dallan, will co-write the series and Joelle Jones will provide the illustration. The title will be original stories, rather than adaptations. House of Night is one title that librarians will want to keep an eye out for the collected editions to add to their young adult graphic novel collections. The series is set to debut this November.
Just like with DC, Marvel has signed a deal with Lego to produce playsets and characters based on Marvel Comic Book Characters. The line will be called “Lego Super Heroes Marvel Collection” and will draw from the Avengers, X-Men and Spider-Man titles.
