Magnus: Robot Fighter #8 is a pretty important issue. Now, I do have a confession to make: I haven’t been following the title for a few months, so I was skeptical as to the level of enjoyment that I would get out of this issue. Would I be able to jump right back into the title and not be lost? Would I still care? The answer to both those questions, is a great big YES!

The first Star Wars: The Force Awakens character names have officially been revealed!

Entertainment Weekly got the scoop from LucasFilm, who provided the information for the new characters as old-school Trading Cards in the style of the collectible cards from the original Star Wars trilogy.

From the new cards, which use the red and blue borders of the original trilogy’s cards, we learn who John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, and Oscar Isaac are playing in the J.J. Abrams-directed Star Wars sequel, as well as who that rolling droid is and more!

Check out the cards and details here below.

Singer/guitarist Matt Heafy formed Trivium while still in high school and landed a record deal shortly after graduation. The Orlando, Florida band have released six albums to date and continue to be progressively more successful with each release. They recently wrapped up a co-headline tour with Volbeat in support of their most recent record, 2013s Vengeance Falls.

From the band’s second album, 2004s Ascendancy, here is the official video for “Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr.”

A new trailer for Hot Tub Time Machine 2 has been released online by Paramount Pictures. You can also check out a red band trailer for the sequel if you’ve not yet seen it and are not currently at work or around little children.

The movie stars Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, and Clark Duke finding themselves in another time traveling adventure. You can read a synopsis and watch the trailer below.

The Colbert Report host and The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings fanatic Stephen Colbert took part in a Hobbit-themed photo shoot for Entertainment Weekly recently.

Colbert received the full makeup and costume treatment to become Bilbo, Legolas, and Gandalf for the shoot. You can see a video of him being transformed into all three characters below.
