Depending on How Old You Are, This Trailer Will Make You Sad, Curious or Confused
Chris Farley is getting a documentary!

The Batman v. Superman Train is Rumbling Down the Tracks!
Rumors are still swirling that Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is going to have a huge, blowout appearance at Comic-Con next week. To get us even more excited for that moment, Entertainment Weekly has released a new set of images of the movie, including our first really good look at Wonder Woman!
Apparently print issues are still a thing!
Looks pretty good! I never for a moment thought she was only going to wear brown, based on those early pics. But this looks fine to me.
Here’s another picture of Diana with Bruce Wayne, so it looks like she’ll be stepping out out of costume at some point in the film.
If only this movie was called ‘Batman v. Superman v. Wonder Woman’
And hey, here’s a shot of Batman facing off against Superman, nifty!
They’re both gonna catch their deaths of cold in that rain
A couple more pics are at EW’s website, so swing on by. Maybe this movie won’t be so bad after all. And somebody get me some news on Robin, gosh darn it!

We’re Getting More Rick and Morty! And Soon!
The second season of the amazing, hilarious cartoon Rick and Morty is coming to televisions on July 26! Hip, hip, hooray! Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!
Looks like plenty of awesome wackiness, but that trailer doesn’t even touch the depths of how crazy this show can get it. If you haven’t seen the first season, now is the time to get caught up! It’s on Adult Swim! Rick and Morty forever!

My 6 Favorite LGBTQ+ Comic Book Characters
Last Friday was a great day for America and for equality everywhere! I’m a big fan of the stuff. The Supreme Court in the U.S. struck down bans on gay marriage across the country! It’s a pretty great time for freedom. So I’ve decided to use my List of Six to celebrate gay, lesbian and all LGBTQ+ characters in comics!
One of the most beautiful moments in comics in the past 10 years
It’s hard to believe that, only 10 or 20 years ago, this kind of open sexuality would have been verboten. Northstar, the first openly gay comic book character (I think), came out of the closet within my lifetime. But now there are a lot of characters like this, openly gay and openly beloved by comic book fans. So I’ve decided to run down the list of my six favorite LGBTQ+ characters in comics! Join me after the jump!
Spider-Man is Going International This Fall!
With all the big talk of Marvel’s new Fall relaunch, we’ve finally got the details on what’s going to happen to our Friendly, Neighborhood Spider-Man! Not only is Dan Slott staying on as writer, but he’s going to put a larger focus on Parker Industries! I loved that storyline, and was worried that Slott would do away with all those neat ideas.
Nope! Peter Parker is growing up, becoming a responsible scientist, and he’s even taking his company across the globe! The new Amazing Spider-Man will feature Peter globe-trotting from New York to Shanghai to San Francisco to London! And he’s getting a new, more high tech costume!
This all sounds pretty neat to me! I loved the Parker Industries storyline, and I like Slott on the title, so I’m excited to see where he goes from here. Slott gave an interview to Mtv (because they do stuff like this, I guess), so if you’re curious, you can read more there.
Among the things he talks about is that Miles Morales will fill the role of the traditional Spider-Man, of the high school kid balancing life and superheroics in New York City, while Peter Parker does this new thing. I like the sound of that.
And the Spider-Mobile is coming back!
We’ve all seen worse
Looks neat. I definitely think I’m down for this whole Spider-Man plan. Looks to be some solid comics!
