Mad Men season four kicks off tonight. Frothing and fapping.

The most pressing comics-issue on my mind as of late has been What’re they going to do with Bruce Wayne when he returns? Fortunately, my fears that Grayson would have to return to his gig as Nightwing have been assuaged. Apparently, Bruce isn’t going to reclaim the cowl for himself, but share it with his former ward.

Season four of Dexter ended me with saying two things a) holy fucking shit, 1) this would be a perfect ending to the show, b) holy fucking shit, and 2) what the fuck are they going to do now? It was a pants-filling moment of bliss. Today at SDCC the trailer for the fifth season was released, and its got my excitement thrusting – into guts of glory! No, I don’t know.

As an aside, look at Quinn in the trailer! Cheekbones like wut! He spent his first two seasons being a puffy mess. I’m impressed. But when you’re going to be the douchebag analog for Doakes sent to hunt Dexter, I suppose you have to be in deec shape.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.

Shazam! And a thousand nerds orgasmed simultaneously across the internets. Behold them all! Including Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Boom.

It was a great way to end an exciting day at Comic-Con: The full cast of Avengers, on stage, with newly-anointed director Joss Whedon. So who is in this picture?

The full roll call (via Cinematical):

Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury
Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark
Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson
Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow
Chris Hemsworth as Thor
Chris Evans as Captain America
Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye
Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / Incredible Hulk

Robert Downey Jr. invited director Joss Whedon to the stage, saying, “We knew we had to find a director you’d love.” And being his usual self-depreciating self, Whedon said:

I have had a dream all my life and it was not this good . . . This cast is more than I could have ever hoped for. And I am going to blow it. So I need your love; I need your support.

When the crowd went nuts, he said, “Oh thank you.”

I’m beyond excited for this shit.

Now listen. There’s all this theoretical bullshit thrown around all the time, and so I must insist that I take it all with a grain of salt. However, since it’s all so crazy and it titillates my Nerd Glands, I also get excited by it. Is it true? Probably Not? More importantly, who cares! It’s fun to contemplate.

New Scientist:

In an analysis of the motion of particles entering a black hole, published in March, Nikodem Poplawski of Indiana University in Bloomington showed that inside each black hole there could exist another universe (Physics Letters B, DOI: 10.1016/j.physletb.2010.03.029). “Maybe the huge black holes at the centre of the Milky Way and other galaxies are bridges to different universes,” Poplawski says. If that is correct – and it’s a big “if” – there is nothing to rule out our universe itself being inside a black hole.

So yeah, it sounds like a lot of Sci-Fi wanking, but I dig it. If you want to get into the mind-bending math behind it, check out the entire article.

No less than three-thousand people have pointed this out to me, and that can only mean one thing: in internet years, it’s a million-billion years old. Whatever, it’s still amazing.

This footage is from a bank in Long Island, and if I was getting robbed there, I hope I would have the respect to clap, if not at the least stand at attention and await my Force choking.

I have to admit that he didn’t use a more elegant weapon, for a more civilized age. Lord Vader, if you get caught, it’s on yourself for using such a clumsy and random weapon. You douche.

I love Grant Morrison a god damn lot. He might be my favorite comic book writer, I’m not sure. Every time I try and say that, my subconscious projection of Warren Ellis rises up, and they get into an arm wrestling match. They eventually hug, and never deciding the debate, go to the pub for a drink.

Nonetheless, the fact that Grant Morrison is writing a movie is probably the best news I’ve heard coming out of San Diego Comic Con. The premise? Amazing.

Bleeding Cool:

Sinatoro, a man with no past and no memories; the sole survivor of a car crash in the middle of a desolate American desert road. When he encounters the beautiful daughter of a cult leader, she convinces him to help defeat the forces of evil, which have overrun her town. His journey pits him against the world’s most dangerous gangster and allies him with a deranged astronaut, a drunken cowboy, and an army of hobos. As Sinatoro travels through an American landscape made of pop culture nightmares, he struggles to understand who he is and why everyone is out to get him.

I need this movie. Yesterday.

I love me some Thor. Who the fuck doesn’t? Sexy jacked dude with a giant (phallus) hammer named Mjolnir. I also love me some Jonathan Hickman. Hickman, who is currently making the Fantastic Four both cool and brilliant, and whose S.H.I.L.E.D somehow features Galactus, a resurrected Leonardo Da Vinci, and insight into the power of ideas in sculpting humankind, is fucking brilliant.

This October? We’re getting Jonathan Hickman writing Ultimate Thor. Fuck to the yes.

Comics Alliance:

“It’s patented Hickman madness,” said editor Mark Paniccia. “Nazis. Frost giants. World World II planes crashing into Asgard. It’s going to be amazing.”

A Thor arc involving Nazis and fucking frost giants? We’re not worthy, but god dammit I’ll take it.

Hit the jump for some sexy concept art.
