Posted 12/16/10 1:01 pm EST by in Marvel


From enchanted suits of armor to menacing Frost Giants, Thor certainly has his hands full with bad guys in his forthcoming feature film debut — and just like the Norse God of Thunder, you too can have your hands full of Thor and his mighty foes!

Cool Toy Review has posted an image showing a group shot of the upcoming "Thor" movies tie-in Minimates action figures. As you can see, there's no shortage of action-packed characters standing in the hammer-wielding hero's path towards redemption.

Every Zombie Death In 'The Walking Dead' TV Series In One Video

Posted 12/16/10 11:46 am EST by in Image Comics


The Walking DeadWhen "The Walking Dead" premiered on AMC, I wasn't alone in being a bit surprised by the gory, gruesome lengths to which the series' creators went when depicting the violent eradication of flesh-hungry zombies.

In the first few moments of the series' pilot, we saw Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) dispose of a zombie-fied little girl with a well-placed bullet between the eyes, a scene that let audiences know that "The Walking Dead" isn't pulling punches when it comes to the brutal realities of its post-apocalyptic world. Given the contributions of veteran makeup effects guru Greg Nicotero, it's no surprise that things only got wilder as the series went on — and that someone took the time to collect all of the series' zombie kills in one epic montage.

New 'Godzilla' Comic Art And Creative Team Revealed

Posted 12/16/10 10:28 am EST by in IDW Publishing, News


Godzilla comicBack in October, we brought you the exclusive news that Godzilla was returning to comics — and he was bringing a whole mess of monsters with him. Today, IDW Publishing has revealed the creative team that will handle Godzilla's new adventures, and offered up a brand new cover image for the series.

Scripted by "Goon" creator Eric Powell and Tracy Marsh, the newly retitled "Godzilla: Monster World" will feature art by Phil Hester ("Green Arrow," "Firebreather") and painted covers by Powell and Alex Ross. According to IDW, the series unfolds in a world where "the monsters are a force of nature whose attacks can be no more predicted or rationalized than a lightning strike. There will be no clean-cut heroes with perfectly chiseled chins and capes billowing in the wind; only ordinary human beings struggling desperately to survive in a world gone mad."

"Godzilla: Monster World" #1 will hit shelves in March 2011. Read More...

Jack Black Recalls His Brief Time As 'Green Lantern' Star

Posted 12/15/10 6:28 pm EST by in DC Comics


Hey, remember when the Jack Black was going to play Green Lantern in a superhero comedy written by "TV Funhouse" creator Robert Smigel? We don't fault you if you've forgotten about that brief, potentially traumatic period in comic book movie history, especially given all the buzz surrounding Ryan Reynolds' current take on the character.

But that doesn't change the fact that funny guy and "Gulliver's Travels" actor Black was indeed chosen (by Warner Bros.) to wield the ring just a few years ago — and he hasn't forgotten about it.

"I do. I just think about it sometimes," Black told MTV News when asked if all the press for next year's "Green Lantern" movie ever gets him thinking about what could've been. Read More...

More 'Doctor Who' Christmas Special Clips And Cast Interviews!

Posted 12/15/10 4:46 pm EST by in News


Doctor WhoWe're just a few weeks away from the premiere of the "Doctor Who" Christmas Special, and I'm probably not alone in counting the days until The Doctor returns for his annual holiday adventure.

Thankfully, U.S. audiences won't have to wait any longer than their U.K. counterparts for "Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol," but what's even better is that we're starting to see a few more clips, interviews, and other teasers arriving online from BBC and BBC America. This time around, a pair of video previews for the "Doctor Who" Christmas Special have found their way to the InterWebs, and they're just the thing to pass the (wibbly, wobbly) time until the episode airs.

The two segments include a great little interview with "Doctor Who" star Matt Smith about the special (featuring some brand new scenes from the episode) and his time as The Doctor, as well as a fun little preview of the special with comments from Karen Gillan, Arthur Darvill and the rest of the cast.

"The Green Hornet" is getting the spotlight in an all-new episode of "Mythbusters" airing tonight (December 15) at 9PM eastern/pacific on the Discovery Channel.

Jon FavreauIt's official, folks: Jon Favreau is not directing "Iron Man 3."

Following yesterday's initial report that Favreau was walking away from the Marvel Studios property after directing the first two installments in the series, the director himself has taken to the airwaves to come clean on the news.
