She-Hulk Trailer Drops - We All Freak Out

She-Hulk was spiraling. While seemingly balancing her duties with The Avengers and a New York nightlife that would make Paris Hilton blush, Jennifer Walters left all manner of calamity, chaos, and cleanup (specifically for Jarvis, the house butler) in her wake and her human persona far behind her. Jarvis demanded She-Hulk's eviction, and as the true leader of the Avengers, it was so. Now forced to fend for herself, the diminutive and very vulnerable Jennifer is hired by a superhuman law firm to fight for powered individuals, not with fists, but with the full weight of the AMERICAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM!! And so...the hijinks begin. 

While the new Disney+ She-Hulk TV series seems to divert a bit from this storyline, it seems they've kept the comedic beats, and with acting powerhouse Tatiana Maslany in the lead role....we prepare ourselves for greatness.

SCOTT SNYDER Launches DARK SPACES Anthology Series at IDW

Scott Snyder,the #1 New York Times best-selling author and celebrated writer of Batman and American Vampire, will debut a chilling original comic book project in July: Dark Spaces, published by IDW.

Desperate people, desperate situations. In Dark Spaces, Snyder explores the decisions made—and irreversible actions taken—when the walls are closing in, when knuckles are white and teeth are bared. Each character-driven entry in the Dark Spaces anthology series is a fully contained, standalone story written by Scott Snyder. Championing the new generation of comic creators, Snyder will curate additional future projects fitting the Dark Spaces theme from promising young writers and artists.

“With Dark Spaces, I wanted to do something different. This is a chance to tell dark, grounded, character-driven stories that are totally unique. Plus, I wanted this to be a book where I could collaborate with a terrific up-and-coming talent like Hayden,” says Snyder. “It was also important to me to be able to hold the door open for even more new writers and artists. That’s why Dark Spaces: Wildfire is its own story, but will also mark the beginning of a line of new books featuring other writers and artists curated by me. Mark Doyle and IDW saw the vision and have been amazing partners in helping me build this space.”

Alfred Hitchcock: Master of Suspense Graphic Novel

In 1960, the film Psycho traumatized viewers around the world. Never before had the angst or the suspense been so well presented in cinema. But where does the talent of this Alfred Hitchcock come from, the one now nicknamed the "Master of Suspense"? To find out, we must first go back to his youth, in England, during the first half of the 20th century. Having grown up in a Catholic family - a religious originality that will be felt in a large part of his cinema - “Hitch” is an atypical Englishman who, very early on, had a taste for telling stories. The temptation to work for the cinema will not be long in coming, first as a graphic designer at Islington Studios in London where his visual talent will lead him to make his debut behind the camera, as an assistant and then as a full director. It is also here that he will meet Alma Reville, his assistant and wife who will accompany him throughout his storied career, including the jump to the big time in Hollywood.
