Spider-Man movie casting rumors
When Columbia Pictures reboots Spider-Man, Peter is going to need an Aunt May and Uncle Ben to give him some balance in his life. The rumor mill and insider reporting have been working overtime to dig up these two bits of casting news. First is the news that Martin Sheen is in final talks to play Uncle Ben. Sheen has always been a bit of a hard-ass character, so it will be interesting to see his take on the warm and wise Uncle Ben.
The other rumor has Sally Field being offered the role of Aunt May. If both of these rumors play out to be truths, then Columbia Pictures found a way to bring in the fans that span the ages – the old geezers that remember young Sheen and Field in the 60s and 70s, and the young kids who want to check out Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Rhys Ifans.
REVIEW: Carnage #1
Hey, remember the 90s? When every comic was part of a crossover, every hero had a gun bigger than his head and every villain had a body count in the triple digits? If so, you probably still have some nostalgia for Carnage. How does the crimson symbiote’s new miniseries stack up?
Spider-Man movie finds his Gwen Stacy
Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios have announced that Emma Stone has been cast as Gwen Stacy in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot. Stone will play opposite Andrew Garfield, the new Peter Parker.
“The chemistry between Andrew and Emma was stunning and made Emma the clear choice. At the heart of the story of Peter Parker is not only the amazing Spider-Man, but also an ordinary teenager who is wondering what he has to do to get the girl. Andrew and Emma will bring everything audiences expect to these roles, but also make them their own. Much to my surprise, it was fun to find out that our choice for Gwen (Emma) is also a natural blonde,” said director Marc Webb.
Spider-Man begins production in December and hits theaters on July 3, 2012.

Review: The Amazing Spider-Man #642
For the past year, I have avoided the Amazing Spider-Man title, having heard from all corners of my local comic book shop that it was more than lacklustre. My hopes for the book were re-kindled, however, when I saw that Mark Waid was to write it. Has Waid delivered his usual high standards of writing? Find out after the jump!

Or – “What Ms. Watson Had To Say…”
Well, Faithful Spoilerites, this is the one you’ve all been waiting for. Ever since the advent of the Brand New Day, we’ve wondered what it was tha Mary Jane whispered to Mephisto, and exactly what DID happen with the Parker/Watson wedding back in the day. This is the story of “One Moment In Time,” and Whitney Houston is demanding her royalties, folks…
Top Ten Tiresome Tropes
A trope is a recognizable theme used in storytelling. The kidnapped princess, the final battle, the training montage, these are all tropes we have seen again and again. Usually recognition of a familiar trope is a good thing, it lets the audience know how they should feel about things and sets them up either for a satisfying conclusion or an excited twist. But what happens when a trope goes stale? When you can’t watch two hours of TV without seeing the same situation over and over, like the writers just emptied their cliche bladders all over the place? Some themes have suffered this fate, through excessive use now they accomplish the opposite of what the writers want. They take the viewer out of the experience. What follows is a list of tropes that I find tiresome, troubling and most of all, trite.
