…Man, I fucking hate coming up with headlines sometimes. Funny books drop today, and we as comic book hounds zig and zag our asses to the Comic Farm to snag that which interests us. This column right here is intended to serve as the watering hole where we all share the wares we snagged. I can’t do this alone, people. What are you buying this week?

Not sure what’s dropping? Hit up ComicList.

In case you wonder what I can usually be found doing after midnight, when I should really be working on tomorrow’s content. These days it’s a bit too much of an obsession with Hunger Games Lady. I tried to class it up with a Vonnegut reference, but I’m pretty sure I’m just losing my mind.

Anyone else awake? I have pie and cardboard cut-outs of Katniss we can pretend are smiling at us.

There’s a good chance a teaser poster for The Wolverine  has leaked courtesy of some ninja photoing inside the office of director  James Mangold.

It’s pretty cool.

Apple continues to have an absolute right to  just keep  printing  money at their own leisure. At this point I think their marketing campaigns for new products could consist of “Fuck you, buy this” and “We’re fucking Apple”, and it wouldn’t slow them down in the eyes of their legions (of which I am a more resistant follower).

Even if you like The Phantom Menace  and its fight scenes, this video is goddamn hilarious. God help you, but its still hilarious.

Man, BioWare is doing some serious soul searching. Hot off the gigantic dump (actually not too big, just a dungeon and a town) that was Dragon Age 2  and the cataclysmic reaction to Mass Effect 3‘s ending, the company is asking their fans what to do with the Dragon Age  franchise. Is this awesome…or just sort of aimless and sad?

If there is one thing that is defining the marketing campaign for the Avengers  flick, especially when it pertains to the pics released, it is a whole bunch of attractive people doing nothing. Just sitting. Brooding. Flexing. Boring. Don’t get me wrong I’m jazzed to the tits about the movie, but these pictures are equally boring and hilarious.

Hit the jump to bask in the banality.

I’m not going to stunt. Just like latex porn and obesity, World of Warcraft  always calls me back. Always. So say what I will about the forthcoming expansion, “Misty Crotch Furry Jizz” (working title), I’m going to play it. Blizzard has seen fit to remind me of my hopelessness with these new trailers, which I laugh at, while crying that I’ll be Day 1-ing.

Hit the jump for the trailers.

In 1978, a year after Star Wars catapulted audiences into the alien cosmos, Warner Brothers did humankind a solid by bringing the alien to modern-day America with Superman: The Movie. With the appropriately rousing–if not a bit biologically misleading (it’s marketing, people!)–tagline “You’ll Believe A Man Can Fly”, Richard Donner’s adaptation found the right balance between honoring the rich mythology of the character’s comic origins and reconfiguring it through the epic scope that only the big screen can hold. And thanks to this steady footing provided by the saga’s terra firma that stretches from the distant Krypton to Earth’s Smallville and Metropolis, it is no wonder why, when push comes to shove and heroics are called for, Superman can leap buildings in a single bound (and the like) into the stratosphere: the ground is set for success, which makes the flying leap that much more believable. Indeed, Superman takes off, soaring to immense heights as it is still one of the best comic book adaptations in film. (Slight tangent: its structure, still an unbeatable beacon for doing a great origin story, has “inspired”–or, more cynically, motivated the lazy–makers of subsequent comic films to follow Superman’s shining light too much, too closely, like moths to the flame. Some men just can’t fly well, it seems–and Superman’s mastery becomes all the more apparent.)

The minds of the people have not been fully  anesthetized    yet, and that’s a problem. We’re getting fat, and wearing our fancy goggles, but we haven’t been fully claimed. Microsoft is working its asses off to up the Docile Consumer quotient, and god help them they may pull it off. Full-on gaming helmet.
