Find out with another locked and loaded Major Spoilers review!

The Guild – Do You Wanna Date My Avatar

We like World of Warcraft.  We like Felicia Day.  We like The Guild. We like music. Throw all these in a blender, set it to blend, then pour it into a non-tip child safe container, and toss it up on YouTube, and you end up with The Guild’s Do You Wanna Date My Avatar.

Cory Walker Returns to Invincible

I’m pretty excited about the news that Cory Walker is returning to Invincible. While I love Ryan Ottley’s work in Invincible, it was the work of Cory Walker that originally got me hooked. On Tuesday, G4TV announced the co-creator will return to Invincible for a two-part story that sets up the upcoming Viltrumite War.

“While Cory has been working behind the scenes in the INVINCIBLE crew, it’s great to have him back for these two very special issues,” INVINCIBLE co-creator and writer Robert Kirkman said. “They’re going to be pretty damn momentous in the grand scheme of INVINCIBLE as we place the spotlight on INVINCIBLE’s dad, Nolan, and his new partner, Allen the Alien, while they seek the only weapons capable of taking down the Viltrumite empire. It’s gonna be awesome!”

Invincible #66 arrives in September, 2009.

Archie Comics has announced it will launch a brand new series called Sonic Universe that will tie all the various Sonic titles together into a coherent universe.

SONIC UNIVERSE #1 starts with a bang.  In the story “Living Weapons,” Shadow and Metal Sonic continue their series-spanning fight and wind up in a whole new dimension!  As we continue to re-envision Sonic’s future, fans can also look to the past by picking up SONIC ARCHIVES #10 to revisit classic Sonic stories, or read them for the very first time. It truly brings things full circle for fans!

Meanwhile, things are as chaotic as ever over in the regular monthly SONIC THE HEDGHOG series, as issue #197 finds Sonic with his hands full dealing with Scourge the Hedgehog, Sally being accused of treason, a lockdown of zones and a new threat that looms on the horizon.

The new series launches in February.
