The 'Glee' Finale, BEA 2011, And 'Green Lantern' In Today's Twitter Report

Posted 5/25/11 1:31 pm EST by in Twitter Report


Glee finaleWith everyone raving about "Game of Thrones" the last few weeks, we were probably overdue for a few TV-related dislikes. This morning's reactions brought "Camelot" gripes from Ed Brubaker and Bill Willingham, as well as some dissatisfaction with the "Glee" finale from Rob Liefeld. Neil Gaiman, meanwhile, may have wished that he was watching TV; he certainly didn't sound too keen on doing a BEA signing from his home computer.

In other posting, Chip Zdarsky signed on to the hater wagon for the "Green Latern" movie. I've included some things to make you smile, too, though. Erik Larsen, for instance, shared another brilliant Spider-Man commission, and Paul Dini's costume from "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" is apparently up for sale. Find out where down below!

'X-Men: First Class' Teams Up With Farmers Insurance For New Ad

Posted 5/25/11 10:13 am EST by in Marvel


X-Men: First Class"X-Men: First Class" hits theaters next week, and lately there's been no shortage of new interviews, sneak peeks, and other evidence of the promotional home stretch leading up to the film's release. Amid all of the television spots and teasers that recycle the same footage, it's always nice to see a cool, original way to promote the film — like a recent Farmers Insurance ad that features a cameo from one of Charles Xavier's students.

In the ad, actor J.K. Simmons (who, coincidentally, played Daily Bugle chief J.Jonah Jameson in the "Spider-Man" movies) introduces a class of new Farmers Insurance agents to an exchange student from Charles Xavier's school: the blue-furred mutant nicknamed Beast.

Their guest doesn't manage to get much of a word in before Simmons' character wonders aloud what their agent is doing at the X-Men academy, which leads into a scene featuring the Farmers Insurance agent holding a target as Havok unleashes one of his mutant energy blasts. Read More...
