DVD/Blu-ray:

  • Bourne Legacy (blu/dvd) – In the wake of the actions of Jason Bourne, the Intelligence agencies are trying to keep their secrets dark. Aaron Cross is the focus of their actions in this follow up to the popular Bourne series.
  • Ted (blu/dvd) – Raunchy comedy featuring a teddy bear as the main character.
  • Ice Age: Continental Drift (blu/dvd) – Another installment of the very popular movie series. This time our heroes are stuck on an iceberg and a crew of pirates is blocking their way home.
  • Collision Earth (blu/dvd) – A massive comet strikes the sun and sets Mercury on a course for earth! A SyFy original from the director of Ice Quake, Polar Storm, and Stonehenge Apocalypse
  • Bikini Bloodbath Shakespeare (dvd) – The title I believe is sufficient explanation why you would or would not want to pickup this dvd

Video Games:

Comics:

Marvel:

  • Avengers Arena #1: Murder World – Another title in the new Marvel Now! universe is unveiled, and it give us an interesting spin on the Battle Royale idea. Even the cover seems to be an homage to the movie
  • Wolverine #317 – To save the Dream Maiden Wolverine must face his nightmares, which considering his long and rather violent life should be abundant

 DC:

  • Deamon Knights #15 – Big things are happening, and a connection to Stormwatch?! Mystery awaits!
  • Ravagers #7 – While it doesn’t seem to be burning up the charts, Ravagers has reached issue 7 so that’s something. Might be worth checking out.
 Indie: 
  • Courtney Crumrin #8 – Looks like an interesting modern magic story, and the art looks like an interesting style
  • The Hollows #1 of 4 – A near future in which segments of the population live above it all but the rabble below are becoming more restless. Sam Keith is the artist and co-creator of this series.
  • Borderlands #2 of 4 – Go back in history and find out how and what got Lilith on to the bus that started her epic adventure.
Web:
  • Plume – by Kari Smith – I found this one from Nate Pikos’ Blambot Font newsletter. It has a very interesting visual style and I’m looking forward to how the story plays out. One small thing I really like is that when the character has dialog they are drawn with an open mouth. Far too many comic artists skip this slight but important detail.
