The immensely successful album of the late 1970s Bat Out Of Hell by rock and roll crooner Meat Loaf is now available on MP3 format from Amazon this month for only $5.

Produced by Todd Rundgren and written mainly by Jim Steinman, Bat Out Of Hell is not only one of the biggest selling records of all-time, but one of the most adventurous as well. The record is like a cross between Bernie Taupin (lyricist for Elton John for decades), Alice Cooper, and Rocky Horror Picture Show in a way, with its operatics, shock-style theatrics, yet it has a flip side to it as well that is sublime and powerfully understated. This album is like musical folklore nowadays, from the title track to the wrenching ballad “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad,” the bass heavy “All Revved Up And No Place To Go” with the great Edgar Winter on saxophone, and of course, the centerpiece of the record, the teenagers-in-heat yet ultimate frustrated “Paradise By The Dashboard Light.” There’s lots of cross genres here for one to chew on, quasi-1950s, rock, flirting with metal and harder rock sounds, all majestically done by Rundgren’s bright production and especially of course, Meat Loaf on the soaring yet controlled and tasteful and even kick ass vocals.

Ghostbusters #13 is, so far, the most interesting and plain-out exciting issue in the series so far. Not that the previous year’s worth of stories have been boring by any means, but it seems like the creative team really threw the rule book out the window with this issue.

I think writer Erik Burnham had a little too much caffeine while writing Ghostbusters #13. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, either. There is SO much going on in this issue, that it takes a second read to let your brain absorb all that’s going on. After a long road trip, the boys finally return back to New York City, where they find things are, let’s just say, different. There’s no business in the ghostbusting business, and by the end of the issue we find out why.

The most wonderful time of the year is upon us—fall is in the air, a month of horrors and Halloween is about to begin, and many of the year’s biggest video game releases are about to arrive.

One of the many games being released is Dishonored, the new Neo-Victorian/steampunk stealth/assassin title from developer Arkane Studios and publisher Bethesda Softworks.

Before the game’s release on October 9 here in the States (pre-order now: Xbox 360, PS3, PC), the 11th in Spain and Australia, and throughout Europe on the 12th, a developer documentary series of videos have been released looking at what went into making the game.

You can check out all four Dishonored developer videos below now.

The Order of Dagonet #1

Release Date: September 26, 2012
Cover Price: $4.99

Great Britain often knights its world-renowned celebrities. This fraternity of superstars includes names such as Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Ian McKellen, and Sir Elton John. Nowadays, knighthood is merely considered a great honor. It’s not as if the recipients are actually real, armor-clad knights who are duty-bound to protect the throne in times of great peril. Or are they? The Order of Dagonet presents an event of such calamitous absurdity that Britain is forced to rely on its knighted celebrities to fight back an invasion.

In this series, the Order of Dagonet is Britain’s league of celebrity knights, although official knights consider the Order something of a joke. When a construction crew clears a forest to make way for a David Beckham monument, they unwittingly remove an old tree that locked in the Creatures of Fairie. This horde of English literary characters unleashes havoc across the United Kingdom and invades Parliament. Merlin himself sends out a desperate “Help me Obi-Wan,” dream call to three Order of Dagonet members who are located in the United States at the time of the invasion. These characters are not so loosely based on Ozzy Osbourne, Sir Ian McKellen, and J.K. Rowling. The motley crew heeds Merlin’s cry for help and separately make their way back to protect the motherland.

Following the news that Anne Hathaway will be starring opposite Chris Hemsworth in Steven Spielberg‘s adaptation of Robopocalypse, comes word that Cloud Atlas star Ben Whishaw is now being courted for a role in the film. The British actor, who also has a role in the upcoming James Bond film Skyfall, would play a hacker named Lurker.

Variety reports that no deal has been made, but the offer is on the table for Whishaw to take. Barring any scheduling conflicts, it would be hard for Whisaw to pass on a project with Spielberg at the helm. The director is expected to begin production later this year after he finishes his press rounds for Lincoln. Former 20th Century Fox chairman and CEO Tom Rothman will produce the film and Drew Goddard will write the screenplay adaptation.
