I haven’t run one of these in a while, and with the proliferation of Tron: Legacy news coming out left and right, it got me nostalgic for the days of my youth and seeing Tron in the theaters when it originally premiered.
Ah, the ’80s!
Variety is reporting that Rose McGowan has joined the cast of Conan, playing an evil half-human/half-witch.
Really? I didn’t realize that witch was a race…
Anyway, if this Conan movie is a direct remake of the original Conan movie, there is a scene near the beginning where Conan shacks up for the night in the home of a whore-witch, who he first ravages, then kills. Here’s Cassandra Gaviola from the 1982 flick to give you a safe for work taste of the character.
If Rose does play the half-witch, does this mean she’s out as Red Sonja?

It would be better if they could have somehow used the original voices, but bloody animated clay makes up for it.

He-Man Whiskey is not just a concept, it’s an actual alcohol product from India.
We all know He-Man kick-ass, but apparently he goes down smooth…
We don’t condone sending alcohol through the mail, but if someone sends us an unopened bottle of this stuff, you would probably be given the title of “Major Spoilers Supplier” and be heralded as one of the all time great Spoilerites, ranking right up there with our man Julian.

As more cosplay action continues to make its way into our email box, we just had to post a picture of this cute kid dressed up as Voltron.
ComingSoon snapped this picture of the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie poster.
It isn’t quite as epic as the covers to O’Malley’s books, but at least it does bring some sense of epic to this epic movie.
Oh…
Epic!
I’ve heard horror stories from parents who have taken their young children into comic shops that are less than kid friendly, and I’ve been in a shop or two that I wouldn’t want my son to even look at in passing. Fortunately, Diamond Comic Distributors is launching a new website and shop locator for those looking for kid-friendly shops in the United States and Canada.
“The long-term success of the comic book industry lies with getting kids excited about the medium of comics and making it a contemporary choice alongside video games, online activities, movies, and books, said Dan Manser, Diamond’s Director of Marketing. “Our hope is that kidscomics.com can help promote the comics medium to kids and help them and their parents find a comic shop that caters to their needs.”
Diamond also announced DC Entertainment has signed on to support the kidscomics.com system through DCbeyond.com and the KidsWB.com sites.
Kidscomics.com will launch with 800 qualified shops.
We’re squeaking this one in under the wire, as Image Comics sent us a sneak peek of titles arriving in stores today. Take the jump for Choker #2, Fade to Black #1, Kabuki Volume 1, Phonogram Volume 2, and the True Story, Swear to God archives.

DC announced the return of Terry McGinnis in a new Batman Beyond over the weekend (although I’m pretty sure we knew a new one was coming), and now we have a few more details on the project.
- The new series will kick off in June and will be written by Adam Beechen, with art by Ryan Benjamin.
- The series will be a six-issue mini (perfect for the trade).
Batman Beyond will pit the future Dark Knight against his own past, as a dangerous force has begun to target Bruce Wayne’s old foes. Can Wayne’s past put Terry’s future in danger?
“The dark future of the legendary animated series comes to the DCU in a six-issue miniseries, as Terry McGinniss, Bruce Wayne’s young successor as Batman, faces his deadliest foe yet — a mystery murderer from the Dark Knight’s past! Old faces return, new allies and enemies step into the light, and the partnership between Terry and Bruce — not to mention Terry and Bruce themselves — might not survive!”
Wonder if this somehow will tie into regular Batman continuity, and if Ra’s al Ghul is behind this in some way? If it is not in continuity, will it be set in one of the alternate Earths we saw in Final Crisis?
Top Cow sent Major Spoilers this teaser image about an upcoming story arc where Hope, the daughter of Sara Pezzini and Jackie Estacado, has gone missing.
In this issue: A popcorn comic reviewed, Superman owes for damages, and Darkwing Duck is back!?
