Having been operating under the impression that “How To Train Your Dragon” was a complete one-off, I was shocked when someone on Tumblr linked me to the trailer for DreamWorks’s upcoming film, “Rise of the Guardians”, and it looked good.

‘AKIRA’ Creator Is Tagging Back Into Manga. *Cue Tetsuoooooo*
I don’t read manga, but the anime adaptation of Akira is more than responsible for help shaping the warped, bent, broken psyche that I own these days. Katsuhiro Otomo is the creator of the long-as-fuck saga, and he hasn’t written any long-form manga since then.
Until now. Cue dramatic horns!
‘CALL OF DUTY’ Creative Strategist ‘FourZeroTwo’ Resigns. There Was…Creative Strategy?
The creative strategist behind Call of Duty has resigned, prompting me to ask the dickish question.

Marvel continues to tease the tip when it comes to some sort of crossover involving both Peter Parker and the Spider-Man of their Ultimate universe. I can’t recall a time when they’ve riffed on this sort of interaction between the two universes, but if they’re going to do it they might as well do it with their best character. Yeah, that’s right.

OH MY GOD ‘HARRY POTTER’ EBOOKS FINALLY AVAILABLE AT POTTERMORE
Oh sweet butterballs, this is what I’ve been dreaming of for such a long time. More than anything, I’ve been wanting to rebuy all those Harry Potter tomes I finished so many moons ago in eBook form. I need to comb through the books for the moment where J.K. Rowling finally lost her mind and began her march towards the epilogue.
