When reading Masters of the Universe: The Lost Knight, you get the feeling that if Mattel was still including mini-comics with their toys, this is the one that would be included with Sir Laser Lot. DC Comics will be releasing these shorter, digital comics every two weeks as a companion or supplement to its Masters of the Universe six-issue miniseries that debuted in comic stores on July 4th. And by the looks of things, we’re in for some GREAT reading.

I guess you could say this Geoff Johns guy knows how to write a comic. But, does he know how to write a licensed property comic? Guess what folks, all those DC Comics that he writes, at this point ARE licensed properties. And to answer my own question, YES, he does. Time/page-wise, he doesn’t have much to work with, as this comic is about 17 or 18 pages long, a little shorter than what he’s used to working with. And, to be fair, because of the digital format, most of the pages are only feature a couple of panels. BUT, what he DOES do is pack a TON of story into these panels.

If Sauron’s Ring was the one ring to rule them all, then Mondo would be its equivalent in poster form. As you might have guessed based on the opening, Mondo has announced that they will be releasing specially commissioned posters for Peter Jackson’s The Lord of The Rings film series. The poster series will include all films from the trilogy drawn up by multiple artists. And to start things off we have a poster for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King by artist Aaron Horkey, which was unveiled this last night at the Mondo Mystery Movie X at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar.

Like most of these Mondo Mystery Movie screenings, you don’t know what you are going to see until they hand out the print to you. Not that it would deter me from watching it, but these posters are only available to those who attend the screenings, and that’s what bums me out the most. Still check out the cool Mondo poster here for The Return of the King below.

It was a long road for The Hobbit, with MGM’s problematic financial issues being the main reason of the stall, but the two-part film has finally wrapped principal photography. To help commemorate such a momentous occasion Peter Jackson has sent us a bit of a tease. Check out the full image below.

The photo was posted on Facebook, and as you can see, it was a pretty stressful shoot. I’m not stirring up rumors, just saying that it was a very lengthy production. But here is what Jackson had to say about wrapping principal photography for The Hobbit.

If a film is going to be presented in IMAX, it’s almost a guarantee that their will be a free poster handed out the night of the midnight release. From Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol to John Carter to Prometheus and most recently to The Amazing Spider-Man. They create these posters for the masses and there is more then plenty for everyone. Now with The Dark Knight Rises just a few weeks away from release, there will be three new posters for the film. Yes three.

Check them out below.

A common gripe with some of these posters is that, while they are good, they don’t exactly hold a candle to most pieces that an organization like Mondo releases. I have a couple of these IMAX posters, not these ones in particular, and while they are framed, it just doesn’t seem as cool as the other ones that hang on my wall.
