This is a big week for “The Amazing Spider-Man.” First we had the debut of a two and a half minute trailer, and now we can get a look at the official teaser poster for the film.
A Comic-Con attendee saw the new poster, took a picture and posted it at First Showing. When so many posters these days try to fit in a ton of characters and give you a layered feel of what to expect in the movie, this poster earns the title “teaser” for its simplicity.

"Captain America: The First Avenger" puts the final piece of "The Avengers" puzzle in place for Marvel Studios, and just like its superhero peers, the star-spangled super soldier's big-screen debut contains plenty of secrets and comic book callouts that fans will love.
Watch the video for a list of five of the "First Avenger" Easter Eggs you'll find in the movie. I'm sure we missed a bunch of them, so if you caught any that we didn't see, head to the comments section and Twitter to let us know what you find!

If you’re at Comic-Con, you may want to try to see “Bone” graphic novelist Jeff Smith, who will be featured at four panels, more than one signing, and throwing a party to honor the anniversary of his comics. But there’s another reason for Smith to celebrate: Warner Brothers is working on a screenplay to put “Bone” on the big screen.
Speaking to Hero Complex, Smith said that there have been assorted tries to make “Bone” into a movie over the years. Before, Paramount and Nickelodeon were trying to get the characters in theaters. Now Warner Brothers is trying to make it happen, albeit the company has rejected two scripts for it so far. A third script is being written as we speak.
According to Smith, the plan is to make a 3-D, computer animated “Bone” trilogy.

Comic creator tweets are fun to follow during Comic-Con International week, because they tend to keep appearing all night long. From pictures of run-ins between Stan Lee and Taylor Lautner to hang-outs with "A Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin, the feed was loaded with fun this morning.
It's also a great week to watch for art posts. Take, for example, a really awesome Jon Snow portrait posted by Michael Cho. Check out his link, some on-stage panel shots and some words from Simon Fraser on the passing of artist Lucian Freud.

"Captain America: The First Avenger" is the last of the big four Avengers to throw himself at the big-screen before next summer's major Marvel Studios event, and he doesn't disappoint. If you were worried about how the star-spangled superhero would translate from paneled page to live-action (especially after that '90s-movie-that-must-not-be-referenced-again), worry no more: the movie is great and absolutely worth the wait.
After the jump, check out five reasons why you need to catch "The First Avenger" this weekend!

The "Amazing Spider-Man" trailer has a lot going on in its two and a half minute run time. So much, in fact, that we here at Splash Page HQ couldn't just keep all of our thoughts to ourselves.
Yesterday, I took a closer look at the first trailer for Marc Webb's "Spider-Man" reboot, and recorded a commentary track with some of my thoughts. Watch the video to get my geeky and frequently high-pitched take on the Spidey trailer, and click past the jump for some additional thoughts!

The schedule is saying this is only the second day of San Diego Comic-Con, but we don't see how that's possible. After a manic run of interviews and panels and exclusives on Thursday -- everything from "Beavis & Butt-Head" to "Breaking Dawn" chats, "Game of Thrones" presentations, "The Walking Dead" sneak-peeks and beyond -- our time at SDCC has gifted us with enough pop culture geekery to call it quits and head home.
Except today is Friday -- day #2 -- and there's no chance we're skipping out early with a day like today ahead of us. So pardon us while we guzzle some coffee and then ponder the day ahead.

So much for being faster than a speeding bullet, I guess!
"Man of Steel," director Zack Snyder's planned Superman reboot, was supposed to fly into theaters during the 2012 holiday season, but it appears that things have changed for the Last Son of Krypton. Now, "Man of Steel" has been pushed back six months longer than expected, slated to make its triumphant silver screen return on June 14, 2013.

We've seen it in briefly in production art, and now, you can see it in a brand new poster: the badass new costume that Captain America will be wearing in "The Avengers."
Marvel has released two new posters informing fans that your favorite superheroes have officially "assembled." And boy, they're not kidding: one poster centers on old reliable Iron Man, while the other focuses on this week's rising star, Steve Rogers himself.
Check out the full posters past the jump!

Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank is about to hop into the thick of comic book movie madness, but she's not avoiding the flying shrapnel — she's running straight towards it.
Variety reports that Swank, who won Academy Awards for her devastating performances in "Boys Don't Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby," is headed to Venus in an adaptation of Radical Publishing's sci-fi graphic novel series "Shrapnel."
Based on a trilogy penned by Nick Sagan and M. Zachary Sherman, "Shrapnel" centers on a former Solar Alliance Marine who leads a revolution on Venus in the far future. Toby Wagstaff has been hired by Radical Pictures to adapt the project.
