The Avengers Are Coming To The Small Screen
A year ago, I would have been pissed off at the mere idea of an Avengers cartoon on Disney XD but after watching the truly remarkable Spectacular Spider-man I actually have hope for The Avengers cartoon. After all, the network responsible for Phineas and Ferb got to know what they are doing.

Geek Art: Amazing Superhero Silhouette Posters
Another day, another set of awesome comic book superhero art. These posters were done by Mark Grambau, who manages to use a simplified design of the characters and quote to embody the strength and power of each character. I especially like the Superman one which manages to make him look so powerful that he is almost scary. You should really hit the jump to check out the rest of the posters.

First Look: Blue Beetle TV Show looks horrible
On paper, the Blue Beetle is the perfect superhero for a TV show. Jaime Reyes was a normal kid until he found the Blue Beetle scarab that fused with him and granted him powers. Even after he became a super hero he was still a kid and a goof. This means you would get all the “Boy Meets World” with your super powered fighting. Unfortunately, this first look shows just how bad the idea is. The CGI looks horrible and the character was annoying even within this minute preview. I really hope this show never sees the light of day.

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Graphic Novel Recreation
I’m sure 90% of the people who see Scott Pilgrim vs The World will have no idea (or care) it was based on a graphic novel, just like there are millions who have seen Serenity and never heard of Firefly. I’ll admit I haven’t read the graphic novels yet but have heard they are quite amazing and based on the above recreation of the movie trailer using the graphic novel, it looks like they were fairly faithful to the source material. Below is the original trailer so you can compare the trailers side by side and once you are done with that you can check out Scott Pilgrim vs The World which releases in theaters today.
Thor Trailer
This trailer gives us a good idea of the story of the Thor movie. I can’t tell if it will be a deep story or just be a mindless action movie but its more likely to the latter.

The Bad Guys Win: Full DC Universe Online Trailer
I posted the Teaser for the DC Universe MMO on Thursday and now we have the full trailer for the DC Universe. I always enjoy seeing the heroes get the butt’s kicked, since they are winning all the time, and the potential future is very interesting. I’m curious if the Return of Brianiac will occur right away or will be a major event down the line. Either way, this trailer definitely has me interested in checking out the game.

DC Universe Online Teaser
This trailer for DC Universe lacks any gameplay but shows off some of the characters we will be seeing when DC Universe comes to PS3 and PC. You can sign up for the beta over at the DC Universe Online site.
Spider-Man Hookah
I’m convinced that there is a decent cross-over of stoners and geeks. That is why it is not surprising that Spider-man Hookah exists. Now geeky stoners can smoke some Mary Jane with the help of Spider-Man. Officially it is now listed as “The 26″ Spider Figure Hookah” probably to keep from any copyright issues and can be picked up for $107.10 at smoking-hookah.com.
