That’s right the first photo of the new Iron Man film that I am counting down the days too. This photo will be in Friday’s issue of USA Today.
The photo features Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark, working on a new suit maybe called War Machine for his good friend James Rhodes. Also take a look at the background I know I did and now I have a hard on after looking at this photo.
Favreau also told the newspapers many superheroes are not open about their true identities but Stark is and this will be a big part of...

After debating heavily on what type of manga this Manga Monday should focus on I decided that I should leave the yaoi manga for a little while longer and bring you something a little deeper. This manga was introduced to me very early on in my manga addiction and it’s another that has left a huge impression on me. It started in 1996 and ended in 1997 and only totalled 5 volumes (relatively short in the manga world) yet it still spawned a successful anime, a movie and even live theatre.
This manga brings together the simple...

There are many independent comics published in recent times that capitalize on the ever -popular Goth culture that permeates our Hot Topic littered landscape. Anyone with the ability to draw mopey girls, cute monsters or disfigured mutant cats (in Gothic black & white of course!) seems to have their own title. However, anyone wanting to look past the pretenders and find the real thing in the realm of ghastly, pitch-black humor needs only to seek out the work of Richard Sala.

What an honor it is for us to have this exclusive! Sometimes I just can’t believe the amazing things that come across my desk here at the Comic Impact offices, but here is one shining example of one of those things. Here we have Batman himself completely uncut talking about the real issues he struggles with daily.
This is a side of Bruce Wayne I honestly can’t believe we’re seeing. It’s so real and relatable - we finally see a side of ol’ Bats we can sympathize with.

This manga Started in 1995 and was wrapped up only recently in 2007, with a anime airing in 1997, an animated feature film expected some time this year and was the top selling graphic novel of 2004. This particular manga has a strong steam punk theme as its an outer space meets wild wester shoot meets comedy meets hard core action meets heart aching moments. Yeah...

So while last weeks recommended manga was fairly new, I thought this week we would look at something slightly more ‘retro’.
While modern anime/manga is often summed up through mainstream programs such as Pokemon and Dragon ball Z and have become art forms many people recognize. This week’s manga takes us back to more simple times. This particular manga ran from 1987 to 1996 and was a shoene manga that was one of the first mangas to become popular with anime fans in main stream markets, like America.
So this week I bring...

As the big release approaches, providing you’re not counting internet leaks, the Wolverine markeing machine hits London a little harder.
The new poster brings in a few more characters. I know it’s a little early to say before the movie comes out, but what the hell is Cyclops doing there?

Well today is Robert Downey Jr’s Birthday!!! So happy birthday to you Sir!!! Apparently as of late he has been going around doing press and talking a bit about Iron-man 2 which Downey says’s
“I think [Demon in a Bottle is] probably best saved, because it’s such its own storyline,” Downey told MTV. “We’re going for the interim space [between the origin and Demon], which is more a look behind the mask of someone who says he’s Iron Man and what it really is to become a superhero.”
Downey also says’s
