He's a member of the seminal Wu-Tang Clan, one of the hardest-working rappers in the game and has the tough-as-nails street cred to back it up. So it's probably surprising that in a money-down, hardcore comic book trivia game, our bet would be on Meth, no questions asked.
Owning an astonishing 25,000 comics, Method Man knows his stuff. During our interview, we covered everything from his upcoming graphic novel to "Secret Invasion" to his love for creators like Mike Mignola, Peter David and John Byrne. But there's one title at the top of his pile right now, and that's Mark Millar and John Romita Jr's "Kick-Ass." We've been covering it a lot lately, from the announcement of it becoming a film to the casting of Nic Cage. And hopefully soon you can add Method Man to the list; the MC-turned-actor is throwing his hat into the ring, enthusiastically hoping for the role of the "black cop." Given his passion for the material we'd love to see it happen...tell us what you think in the comments below.

Anyone who’s ever felt overworked can be tempted by the premise of “Rest” – a new limited-edition comic series published by Devil’s Due and produced by Divide Pictures, “Heroes” star Milo Venitmiglia’s company (the main character also shares Milo’s likeness).
Director John Moore has one question when it comes to comic movies today -- "Why so serious?"
The thing about vampires, they never really die. Neither do vampire stories. So it’s no surprise that there’s already talk of a sequel to “30 Days of Night,” especially given the comic and prose books Steve Niles has ready and waiting to be adapted. So what would a “30 Days” sequel look like?
Justin Marks’ script for “Super Max” includes cameos for the Riddler, Lex Luther, and the Joker. Heck, as he admitted in our extensive chat about the film,
Never let it be said that superstar writer/director/rabid fanboy Joss Whedon was the type to rest on his laurels. Clearly not content with his work on such fan-favorite franchises like
A dog, a cat, and a rabbit need a home -- that’s not just a way-oversimplified description of the plot of “We3,” but also the status of the film version of Grant Morrison’s mini-series about animal soldiers.
Heath Ledger’s Joker -- no question it was an amazing performance. And if he were still with us, we could ask him about his various inspirations: what did he watch, what did he read, what did he observe, how did he inhabit his character? Well, one of the clues he left us was his Joker diary, which he kept four months before shooting.

Introduced to the Marvel Universe more than twenty years ago, Venom has provided a variety of hosts with enhanced powers, always with devastating effects as it perpetrates a reign of terror. As one of the most villainous characters in the Marvel arsenal, could this pile of extraterrestrial goo really transition to leading man?
"I think Venom could headline a good movie on his own, but it would be tricky and would depend in large part on the script," Venom's creator David Michelinie told MTV News.
