One of the amazing things about Atomic Robo is the way each story arc has managed to tell its own kind of tale. We’ve had war stories, pulp adventure stories, and horror stories. With Atomic Robo and The Ghost of Station X, we get a full-fledged mystery, and with issue #5, we finally learn who has been behind the various problems that have been besetting Robo for the previous four issues. What we learn is surprising and a little heart breaking, and is just another example of why this is such a great series and why it should be on everyone’s reading list.

As the film’s July 3rd release date looms, yet another trailer for the upcoming film The Amazing Spider-Man has hit, and it may be the best one yet.

Sony has released an international version of the trailer, which does feature a tiny bit of new footage, and seems to focus on the relationship that lead Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) has with the father figures in his life, be it Gwen Stacy’s (Emma Stone) police chief of a father (Denis Leary) or the man better known as The Lizard, Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans).

You can see the trailer below.

One popular idea when dealing with time travel is going back and killing Hitler. It seems like a given, and it has been done before. And now Studio Eight hopes to turn that very idea into a movie.

It’s being reported that the company has optioned the film rights to I Killed Adolf Hitler, the Norwegian graphic novel by Jason (John Arne Sæterøy) that took home an Eisner Award in 2007, and that they’ve brought in D.C. Walker to adapt it into a screenplay for them.
