Tune in to the 2012 MTV Movie Awards

'Terminator Salvation' Prequel ComicMust be tough, being John Connor -- what with all those Terminators always trying to kill you, your mother, your friends. But it's even tougher to be someone outside of John Connor's immediate circle come Judgment Day.

Thanks to the upcoming prequel comic to "Terminator Salvation" from IDW Publishing, we'll get a glimpse of what life is like for the rest of the world once the machines take over -- and before John Connor is the leader of the resistance -- starting with the first issue, due in January.

"One of the toughest things with stories involving time travel," said writer Dara Naraghi, "is that no matter what you do, there's always some sort of paradox."

Naraghi hopes to avoid those paradoxes when he fleshes out a different part of the post-Judgment Day world. "I get to play in my own sandbox, with a lot of new characters who won't be in the movie," Naraghi said. "There's a lot of breathing room." Read More...

'Berserker'Everyone, look out. Milo Ventimiglia has officially gone "Beserk."

As the actor's foray into comics continues via his production company DiVide Pictures, the man you know as Peter Petrelli has been using all his powers to get out a new title, about a group of people seemingly unconnected to each other who discover, unbeknowst-to-them, they had been born with hidden abilities. No "Heroes"-ripoff here -- the hidden power here is to kill, and the comic is called "Beserker" from Top Cow Publishing.

You'd think the ability to go really aggro could be a boon -- but one character, Ferris Jorn, who is trying to get back to his life after being in the military in Afghanistan, is having extreme difficulty. "You can't make a distinction between enemies and comrades," Ventimiglia said. "Imagine you're being pushed over the edge. You're at the height at an adrenal rush. Your veins are bulging. Your blood is moving. And you can't control it -- not even around your loved ones. You will rip them to shreds. It's an extreme and uncontrollable rage." Read More...

'Ghostbusters: The Other Side'Put some gas in the Ecto-1 and fire up your proton packs, the Ghostbusters are finally back in business, accepting requests, and ready to help with your paranormal needs in IDW Publishing's "Ghostbusters: The Other Side," set to hit stores in October. And now we've got your first look at the upcoming series from writer Keith Champagne and artist Tom Nguyen who together have crafted a story that pits the four heroes against a slew of new boogeymen out to terrorize New York.

Well, make that old boogeymen, Champagne explained in an interview with MTV News, revealing that the first issue would see bad guys made out of wise guys. "Lucky Luciano, Bugsy Seigal, Meyer Lansky, and Al Capone," Champagne said. "Ghosts [that] were the types of guys that -- while alive -- weren't shy about hitting first."

You can glimpse the four tommy gun holding made men in the cover, revealed exclusively here on MTV's Splash Page along with the first art. Read More...

Need a "Hero"? How about 43 of them?

While you're waiting for "Heroes" to hit the air again, you could read the web comics online -- or you can get them as a collected volume. "Heroes Volume 2" will include every online chapter from season two, from "Flying Blind," introducing Claire's classmate West Rosen, to "The Kill Squad," when Fallon finally gets his own team to kill whichever powered person he pleases. The book, which is due out November 19, spills a lot of details about the motivations behind characters and fills in the gaps from the show -- while at the same time bringing to life what "Heroes" is all about. Here's a first look at the cover art (note: this may not be final):
