Creator of Mario and Zelda Is “Retiring”. Note The Scare Quotes.
Shigeru Miyamoto is a true boss of the gaming world. The dude created Mario. And Zelda. Throw your hands up for him. Every journey has its end, and Miyamoto has announced that he’s retiring. Kind of. Sort of. Maybe? The truth is a lot less sexy than traffic-snagging headlines.

Daniel Craig: Writer’s Strike F**ked ‘Quantum of Solace’, He Rewrote Scenes.
Daniel Craig is a hunky guy, and a great James Bond. So I’ll let him slide for not being an excellent writer. Dude says that the script for Quantum arrived just hours before the Great Writer’s Strike of 200-something, leaving them in a bit of a pinch.
Variant Covers: Stretch Your Stocking With Some Hardcover
I’m covered in peanut butter. Even my big toe. I dropped that shit and lacking the wherewithal to pick it up I just sort of smudged my big toe round and round. Grinding the peanut butter into the floor and praying that the Better Half doesn’t find it. I tell you this, because this is the environment I’m churning out this disaster in. It’s Tuesday evening, and the Black Hole of End of Semester is sucking what is left of my sanity into its gaping chasm. Freudian imagery or something. Gape! Gape! One of my few insanity repellants left are the funny rags I’ll be snagging and snacking on tomorrow. In a desolate world filled with deadlines, here are the comic books I’m holding to my charred bosom in hopes of feeling something tomorrow.
Bendis Ending His ‘Avengers’ Run Next Year, Comparing It To ‘Breaking Bad’. Words. Bold.
When Brian Marvel Bendis began his run on Avengers, he was the Apple of my Comics Eye. These days I’ve cast aside his nineteen Avengers titles, convinced that he’s spread too thin. Too many witty quips to pen. Too many cute repartees. Bendis may be sensing the same thing, and he’s going to wrap-up his eight fucking year run next year. Jesus I feel old. He’s ending it, and man he’s making claims.
Matt Fraction and Nathan Fox Do ‘Osama Raid’ Comic For GQ. Unexpected.
Matt Fraction has teamed up with Nathan Fox and Jeremy Cox to pen a comic for GQ. That shit seems sensible enough, but things get a bit bananas when you hear the topic: the fatal OBL raid from earlier in the year.
Yeah, I wasn’t expecting it either.

Galaxy Full Of Diamond Planets? Cosmic Blood Bling.
The universe revels in its ability to put the mind-boggling and wonderful just within our reach. We can see it, perceive it, never touch at. At least not yet. I mean fuck, the cruelty! Who wouldn’t want to get to a galaxy full of diamond planets?

The New Yorker Breaking ‘Girl With Dragon Stuff’ Review Embargo. Sony’s Cheesed.
Sony let some lucky swanky motherfuckers in to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo early. The caveat was that they had to hold their responses in their gullets until Sony’s proscribed embargo date. Seems pretty easy to me. Let me in Sony, fuck. It seems that despite initial acquiescence to the request, shit fecal matter is about to splatter the fan. The New Yorker reviewer David Denby is intentionally breaking the embargo tomorrow. This doesn’t sit well with producer Scott Rudin.
Hit the jump for some industry slap fighting.
Trailer: ‘Lockout’ Or ‘Taken In Space’. But More Awesomer!
I was sold back a ways when it was announced that Luc Besson’s Lockout was essentially Taken in space. Sold like woah. Taken being one of the greatest movies ever starring Liam Neeson kicking ass. Of which there is a considerable library now. After seeing the International Trailer? Doubly stoked.
Get-get-get!
