Your friendly neighborhood alien is back! Resident Alien: The Suicide Blonde #1 written by Peter Hogan and illustrated by Steve Parkhouse marks the next thrilling era for the visitor from another world. With a new mystery to solve, federal agents on his trail, and friends secretly protecting his identity, what will become of Harry as he continues to integrate himself into small town life?

As the quiet town of Patience suffers yet another tragic death, Harry — the shipwrecked alien turned doctor — and sheriff Mike investigate the crime scene. Set up to look like a suicide, Harry and Mike learn that the murder victim is not actually from Patience, but hails from Seattle. With a sufficient amount of data gathered, it would seem that the prime suspect is none other than Bert, the mayor of Patience. Using his enhanced empathic abilities while listening to Bert’s statement, Harry learns that Bert is not the killer, in fact, and decides to take the case into his own hands to clear his friend’s name; however, it looks as though Harry could use some help, as he remains unaware that a team of federal agents have discovered his secret and are closing in on him.

The Fast and Furious 6 mid-credits scene gave fans a revealing scene that actually took place during the events of Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. It also marked that the next film would take place after Tokyo Drift – the fourth, fifth, and sixth films took place before the third – thus ending the film’s somewhat weird chronology. Now filming for Fast and Furious 7 has begun, and the marketing for the movie is slowly revving up.

New set photos featuring muscle cars and a damaged large vehicle, along with minor plot details have been revealed via the film’s official twitter page. Additionally, a tweet has been sent out asking fans if they want to see another character make a return. Hit the jump to see them all.

These days, movie studios are under the assumption that for their film to draw in audiences, their movie trailers have to be filled with that ominous BRRAAAAHHHMM! sound, made so popular thanks to its overuse in Christopher Nolan’s Inception.

So, how would the trailer of an older movie come across to today’s audiences if it were recut to appeal to this modern assumption?

Check out the video here below for a trailer for 1975’s Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a feature-lengthy comedy by the Monty Python troop, created to make the film come across as a 2013 tragic and epic blockbuster.

The summer of 2015 is shaping up to be one of the biggest summers in movie history, with movies like Star Wars Episode VII, The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron, Batman vs. Superman, Ant-Man, Terminator 5, Assassin’s Creed, and many others expected to be released. Jurassic Park IV—now officially titled Jurassic World—just joined the party as well.

The summer is so crowded, other big franchises are taking a step back. The fifth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, officially titled Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, was also scheduled for a summer 2015 release, but Disney has decided to push it back to 2016 instead.

Brian Wood‘s Star Wars comic from Dark Horse persists in delivering the punches, with a flavor that will make you hear John Williams’ soundtrack as you read. Recovering from a less-than-stellar episode a few issues ago, Wood has positioned our heroes in a variety of settings, magnifying the risks, and exploring character interrelations where possible.

The Rebel Alliance is in a dire situation as it’s believed a spy is in their midst, tipping off the Empire of their locations and operations. Princess Leia, along with Luke Skywalker, and Wedge Antilles form a new Stealth X-Wing squadron, to take on black-ops missions in an effort to root out the mole. Han Solo and Chewbacca, meanwhile, are on a separate mission for Mon Mothma in the heart of the Lion’s Den: Coruscant aka Imperial Center.

Star Wars #9 opens with Leia returning to the ruins of Alderaan to observe a private moment of remembrance. There she comes across a hijacked Star Destroyer from the Clone Wars era, with one passenger: a lone Alderaanian who is seeking to preserve elements of his planet’s culture and history. But there is more to this character than meets the eye, and Leia’s astromech droid’s concerns are not without reason.
