This article, however, consists of nothing that is true. This is a list of fake spoilers. So, are you ready for Top 20 Fake Spoilers For The Dark Knight Rises!? Woo boy! [...]

Comic Review: The Massive #2 Posted: 19 Jul 2012 05:00 PM PDT The Massive #2 Written by Brian Wood Art by Kristian Donaldson Colors by Dave Stewart Letters by Jared K. Fletcher Covers by J. P. Leon, Rafael Grampa Dark Horse Comics Release Date: July 11, 2012 Cover Price: $3.50 I'm a total sucker for post-apocalypse stories. I can't get enough bleak survival tales about zombies, ebola, comets, asteroids, super volcanoes, global warming, or any other feasible catastrophe. So, I was immediately drawn to The Massive when I learned about its premise. The story takes place in the near future. All those nasty things that climate scientists have been warning us about hit the world with one giant haymaker: insane weather patterns, floods, droughts, off the scale earthquakes, tsunamis, ocean stagnation, geomagnetic storms — the works. Just based on my expertise acquired from a fervent Science Channel addiction, such a disaster super-combo could conceivably surpass the largest extinction event of all time, The Great Dying of 250 million years ago, which wiped 90% of all life from the face of the planet. Or not [...]

Could Malekith The Accursed Be The Villain In ‘Thor: The Dark World’? Posted: 19 Jul 2012 04:00 PM PDT Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige promised us that the villain in Thor: The Dark World would be big. It wasn't clear if he meant physically big or just big in terms of recognition, but the rumor that is going around tells us that it is the latter (and/or former depending on how you perceive the character), and that it would have fit into Mads Mikkelsen's physique, had he stayed on to play the villain. According to an interview with stuntman James Grogan, we could be seeing elves in Thor: The Dark World. [...]

We live in such a privileged age, where we can exchange information almost as quickly as we can create ideas in our head. Could you imagine a world without YouTube? It is hard to believe that nearly a decade ago that this was far from reality. Luckily for us, we can surf the web for funny videos, everything from piano-playing cats to giggling babies. Many can agree on one common search as entirely entertaining: the ever-popular Disney spoof or parody. Whether the creators are teenagers or professionals, almost everyone offers an ounce of creativity in poking fun at the fantastic world of the Mouse. In this edition of Disney In Depth, a new recurring feature on the column, check out some of the latest and funniest Disney-themed web videos. [...]

Book Review: The Stranger’s Magic: Labyrinths Of Echo, Book 3 Posted: 19 Jul 2012 02:00 PM PDT The Stranger's Magic The Labyrinths of Echo - Book Three Hardcover By Max Frei The Overlook Press Release date: July 19, 2012 The Stranger's Magic is the third book in Max Frei's Labyrinths of Echo series. Continuing the story of Sir Max, an assimilated stranger in a strange magic land, The Stranger's Magic has Sir Max becoming Lord Fanghaxra, King of Xenxa, husband to three weird sisters and facing almost certain death at the hands of one of his best friends, the Death Dealing Glove-wearing Sir Lonli-Lokli, all while solving the ordinary crimes of this extraordinary land of Echo. Max uses all of his previously establish magical powers and discovers he's got a few new tricks up the sleeves of the black and gold Mantle of Death uniform he wears as Nocturnal Representative of the Most Venerable Head of the Minor Secret Investigative Force of the City of Echo. While all the characters were distinct and their dialogue mildly humorous, I didn't feel especially moved by any one of them, including the book's star and narrator, Sir Max [...]

Marc Webb May Not Direct ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Posted: 19 Jul 2012 01:17 PM PDT The Amazing Spider-Man may not have been the most well received movie amongst critics, but it did earn enough to garner two sequels. So with the movie already moving forward with a draft written by James Vanderbilt and rewrites to be penned by Star Trek scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the only thing Sony needs to do is get director Marc Webb back in the chair for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. But this could prove to be difficult because of a few contractual obligations. [...]

Comic Review: The Guild, Volume 2 Posted: 19 Jul 2012 12:04 PM PDT The Guild, Volume 2 Written by Felicia Day, Jeff Lewis, Sean Becker, Kim Evey, Sandeep Parikh Pencils by Darick Robertson, Kristian Donaldson, Ron Chan, Becky Cloonan, Tim Seeley Inks by Ron Chan, Becky Cloonan Colors by Dave Stewart Covers by Georges Jeanty Dark Horse Comics Release Date: June 27, 2012 Cover Price: $14.99 The Guild: Volume 2 collects the one-shot comic released for each member of the Knights of Good: Vork, Tink, Bladezz, Clara, and Zaboo. Each comic delves into the characters' lives away from The Game and sheds a little more light on their personalities and motivations. These stories are not exactly earth-shattering revelations, but they're brief, fun, focused explorations into the characters that fans love. Watching at least the first season of The Guild web series is a prerequisite to reading this collection. However, if you have not yet read the first volume of The Guild, fear not, this volume completely stands on its own. Fans of The Guild undoubtedly have their favorite Knights of Good characters. Mine is the leader of the Knights of Good, Vork. He's obsessively cheap and orderly. He's also incredibly literal; my favorite scene in this chapter is the very beginning where he reveals why he plays the game the way he does. In this comic, we discover that Vork takes care of his retiree grandfather. While Vork follows rules to the letter, his loose cannon grandfather aligns somewhere around Chaotic Good—possibly Evil. In this play on opposites, Vork must reconcile his differences with his grandfather and learn to compromise with his inferiors—er, guildmates [...]

Whedon recently starred as the action hero lead in a short film titled Scary Smash, written by 5-year-old Brett Baligad.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Ultimate Trilogy Trailer: A Package Tied With A Pretty Black Bow Posted: 19 Jul 2012 08:00 AM PDT In just a matter of days, we will be seeing Bruce Wayne suit up as Batman once more to defend the city of Gotham. In his way, of course, is a villain he's never faced before, and it is perhaps one of the most dangerous villains in Nolan's series. But before you read our review of The Dark Knight Rises and go into theaters to watch the first two installments of Nolan's Batman trilogy, watch this new comprehensive trailer below. I received this trailer earlier today and was unsure whether or not to post it only because I couldn't tell if it was fan made or a studio release. Despite that, I have to say that I am impressed with the way The Dark Knight Rises Ultimate Trilogy trailer is cut. The trailer looks and feels like a professional edited it. [...]
