Ah, the soon to be officially ciché Marvel movies post-credits scene. Yep. Just stick Samuel Jackson in some shitty forty-second scene in with something leading up to the Avengers flick. They’ve been doing it for three years, there isn’t any reason to stop now. Apparently, purportedly, the post-credits scene in Thor tips off the villain for The Avengers.

Hit the jump for spoilers, ya fucks!

This is Variant Covers! Every week I humbly show you the titles that I’m excited for on Wednesday, and I ask you to kindly splay yours out in front of me. It’s a nice pow wow in front of the paneled ponderings and the like. This week though, I’m not really feeling anything. Oh sure, there’s a list of titles that I’ll be buying, and probably even enjoying. Nothing that’s really getting my fires burning though. So indulge me, let’s play a game this week. You can buy one title this week. What is it? No fucking cheesing! One title to stem your tide until next week.

I’m still jazzly jizzing over Sunday’s premiere episode of ‘Game of Thrones.’ Jazzly jizzing? It’s like, playing a trumpet and orgasming or something. So I’m totally jazzingly jizzing harder at the news that HBO has picked the show up for a second season! After one episode! Nice.

Warner Bros. has gone up and announced the roles that JGL and Marion Cotillard will be playing in “The Dark Knight Rises.” Either all the rumors have been very, very wrong, or there will be some double identities afoot. Which would make sense, given, you know, the universe.

Oh fucking great! Listen, one of the perks of going to Best Buy to snag a motherfucking video game is my ability to navigate the aisles, snag my shit, and get the fuck out. No douchebags trying to sell me warranties on the disc, no fuckheads asking me if I want to preorder anything. It’s everything a trip to Gamestop isn’t. It appears all of that is about to change.

I thought that ‘Superman Returns’ sucked. I thought it was bogged down with an insistence to paying homage instead of carving its own identity, typical existential ennui bullshit Singer loves, and the need to give (Jesus Christ,why?) Superman a kid.
