Ninjak #4 is a different kind of issue as the previous ones in the series. VERY different. If you’ve been enjoying the series, as I have, you’re going to either REALLY like this issue, or really NOT like this issue. Let me tell you what I thought.

The Spirit #1 is the latest addition to Dynamite Entertainment’s pulp library and I honestly have to say, with very few exceptions, these pulp characters are being given rock star treatment by Dynamite editorial, and it really shows.

20th Century Fox is scheduled to have a panel in Hall H this Saturday at San Diego Comic-Con, but so far they’ve yet to reveal which properties they’ll be promoting. But, it’s obvious that will be bringing the thunder with Deadpool, their upcoming film which sees Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as the Merc With A Mouth from FOX’s X-Men film universe.

Reynolds has stated previously that he’d be at SDCC this year, but looks like Deadpool needs a lift to the Con. The actor posted a photo today to this Twitter account of a sombrero- and poncho-wearing Deadpool thumbing for a ride, while holding a sign that reads “Comic-Con Por Favor.” Accompanying the photo is the caption: “Hey #SDCC, Thank you for being a friend…”

Check out the post and photo here below.

We learned last month that Marvel and Sony had found their new Peter Parker aka Spider-Man in 19-year-old Tom Holland. Now, word comes that Marisa Tomei has been cast as Peter’s Aunt May in the planned Spider-Man reboot.

Variety reports that their exclusive sources gave them the scoop that the My Cousin Vinny actress was offered the role late last week, but that Sony and Marvel had no comment at this time on the casting.

Each and every week, I, “Not at SDCC!” Henchman 21 and “Ditto!” Empress Eve read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible”¦ theoretically. Naturally, we look forward to some more than others. I mean, who doesn’t? So, let’s take a look into the depths of our pull lists, grab some comics, and we’ll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of July 8, 2015. Single issues and trades, they’re all here.

Yes, it’s that time of year again, time for the biggest comics convention in America, even if the show has moved beyond being just about comics. But it’s okay, all comic conventions have moved past comics to one degree or another. Sorry, got off track there. It’s San Diego week, which means there are a lot of new series and big hardcovers out this week to entice buyers at the show and even those of us not at the show. In fact, it’s better for those of us not going to SDCC, because we don’t have to wait in line and then figure out how to lug all this stuff back in our luggage. So rejoice at the ease with which you can buy your comics, for it is truly a good week to celebrate comics. And celebrate we shall on this week’s The GoD List!
