Scarlett Couture #1 is one of the most unique comics that I’ve read in years. I hate when people compare things to other things. That’s nothing but a cheap way of getting out of explaining the pros or cons of whatever you’re describing. So, I’m not going to compare this comic to anything else, I’m just going to tell you why you should immediately go out and buy it!

Creator and writer Des Taylor brings to life a truly different comic book. This is a great tale of espionage and high fashion, with action, comedy, adventure, mystery, and a great big dash of fun thrown in for good measure. There is a LOT to enjoy about this story. In this first issue we’re introduced to our heroine Scarlett, who’s a fashion model, head of security for her mother’s fashion agency, and a secret agent! There are some great standards with some unexpectedly awesome modern twists, which makes this book very refreshing.

Hello and welcome to our exclusive look at a great upcoming graphic novel & anthology entitled Bizarre New World! Created by Skipper Martin, Bizarre New World brings together more than fifty creators from all across the globe. The entire process is Martin’s brainchild which he’s spent countless hours and money from his own pocket over the last nine years to bring to life.

We are privileged to have the opportunity to reveal the first of 28 all-new stories created exclusively as part of a Kickstarter campaign whose goal is to collect the entire nine-year arc of Bizarre New World into a hardcover edition, and finally get it into the hands of the public.

The best part about the story we are debuting here is that one of our own is responsible for scripting it! This little eight-page tale is called The Morning After — quite the appropriate name once you read it. So here we are offering you the chance to read this exclusive story for free! How cool is that? Just keep on reading and I’ll give you more information!

Let’s recap The Returned 1.7 “Rowan,” before talking about this week’s episode.

We learned more about Rowan (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) last week. We now understand why she didn’t freak out when she saw Simon (Mat Vairo). She had visions of him before. At that point she couldn’t take it, and took a bunch of pills to end it all. Tommy (Kevin Alejandro) found her in time. Simon approached Chloe in the park with a message for her mother – he’s coming for them tonight. Rowan made her choice. When Simon showed, she told him to get away. He kept coming towards her, and Tommy shot him. I don’t think he was threatening at all, just pleading. She thinks he chose to die years ago.

Normally we don’t write about leaked set photos because they usually amount to nothing. A lot of what we see isn’t what is reflected in the finished product. But when it comes to a film like Suicide Squad, it is a bit different. David Ayer‘s film sees some of DC Comics greatest villains assembling for a highly dangerous government black-ops mission. Joker (Jared Leto), Harley Quinn (Margo Robbie), Deadshot (Will Smith), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Enchantress (Cara Delevingne), Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman), and Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) are just some most notable DC characters in the film.

But what’s a movie with the Joker without having the Batman in it? Well, since Suicide Squad takes place in the same universe as Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, there was major speculation that Ben Affleck would have a role in the film. The film is currently shooting, and it looks like fans who have been sticking close to the production set have noticed a sharply dressed Affleck spending some quality time on the set of Suicide Squad. So is he in it or is he just playing with the geek community? There are minor spoilers ahead, so for more on that and the photos of Affleck on set, see below.

Bates Motel
Season 3 Episode 8: “The Pit”
Directed by Roxann Dawson
Written by Bill Balas
Starring Vera Farmiga, Freddie Highmore, Max Thieriot, Nestor Carbonell, Olivia Cooke, Kenny Johnson
A&E
Air Date: Monday, April 27th, 2015, 9pm

Last week on Bates Motel, it really felt like “The Last Supper.” Romero (Nestor Carbonell) jumped into the crazy pool, blasted Marcus, and left him as a dead present for Bob (Kevin Rahm). He gets the flash drive from Gunnar and it shows his mother’s name. Now he has even more questions. The answers are definitely in the bottom of a bottle. Dylan (Max Thieriot) finds out that a $20,000 transplant could save Emma (Olivia Cooke) so he jumps at the chance to do a $25,000 gun running job for Chick (Ryan Hurst). Dylan asks Emma out, but Norma (Vera Farmiga) wants to have a family dinner. Caleb (Kenny Johnson) brings flowers over, so she invites him in. Drunk Romero was sleeping it off, but now is invited too. Norman (Freddie Highmore) is not happy about all this male attention on Norma. There’s even singing!

The last scene shows Norman sliding his hand over his sleeping mother’s nightgown clad hip. Gross!
