With Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel being at the forefront of the superhero movie scene this summer, The Wolverine is getting a bit lost. Now I can understand how excitement can be tempered considering how X-Men Origins: Wolverine was a massive dump on the chest of fans, but at least the source material for this followup is some of the best work in the character’s history using Chris Claremont’s 1982 limited series as its base.
The Wolverine releases on July 26th.
I love Daredevil. As of last year, I own and have read everything from the beginning of “Vol. 2” – when Marvel reset the numbering to #1, put it under the “Marvel Knights” brand, and let Kevin Smith take the reigns – up to Andy Diggle’s #507 – which is actually #127 under the new numbering, but Marvel saw it fit to override that with the old system in order to commemorate reaching 500 total issues. Doing this was no easy feat, as many of these issues are only collected in now out-of-print trades, or not collected in trades at all.

Lego Lord of the Rings may be getting a bulk of the Lego love this fall but Batman has a huge new set coming soon.
Releasing in January and only costing a cool $160 this Arkham Asylum set contains 1,351 pieces and is the largest set Lego has made for a superhero. It is based off of the Lego Batman 2 game from earlier this year. Now the only questions are:
1. Where do I find the space for this?
2. Where do I find the money to purchase this?
3. Where do I find the time to build this?
4. How do I purchase this massive box of Lego’s in public without people thinking I am a complete weirdo?
