Here’s the second official trailer for this summer’s highly anticipated Iron Man 2:
Whiplash and War Machine both look great.
I especially like the shot of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash shown from Tony Stark’s POV under the flipped race car.
The portable Iron Man armor at the end of the trailer is an awesome money shot that will definitely go a long way towards getting people in seats May 7th when the sequel, Iron Man 2, makes its debut.
My friends and I went to WonderCon this year, and wandering through the Artists’ Alley, I happened upon this nifty little piece:
I love the chubby, little monkey, his eyes and his gleeful expression, and the banana-picking robot who’s visibly annoyed by all of this.
Well, I finally got around to checking out the website URL scribbled on the back of the artwork. It turns out it’s the cover art for a comic book called F.I.S.H. by P. Jeep Naarkom and illustrated by Paeng Thitaya:
Apparently, F.I.S.H. stands for Furtive Intelligent System of Havoc and tells the story of a robot lost in the jungle with no clue as to its purpose or identity.

In stores April 8, Wolverine: Worst Day Ever is a new hardcover novel for all ages written by young-adult author Barry Lyga (The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl) with illustrations by various Marvel artists throughout the character’s decades-long comic book history.
Offering readers a refreshing new look at one of Marvel’s most beloved characters, the story is told through a series of blog entries written by 13-year-old Eric Mattias, a young mutant at Xavier’s School for Gifted Students and possessor of “the world’s suckiest mutant power.”
Fun stuff. Makes you wonder what a tough-as-nails, nigh-indestructible mutant like Wolverine might consider his “worst day ever.”
Also, I love the cover (shown above) by artist Todd Nauck (Wildguard, Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman).
