Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email me at david@multiversitycomics.com.
– Over at the Beat, Heidi takes down people who post complete and utter BS and call it “exclusive!” or some sort of big scoop. As someone who received the same email about posting Paul Bettany as Ultron, all I have to say is this: thanks!
– Over at iFanboy, they have a chart showing the all-time rankings for comic book movies with adjustments for inflation. For the most part, it finishes how things already lie, except the original Superman movie skyrockets thanks to inflation. I don’t know if that impresses me more about the movie or depresses me more about our economy, but hey, numbers!
– Comics Alliance, like a lot of bigger sites, rolled out an advance review of X-Men: Battle of the Atom, and Matt Wilson breaks down the book in a way that sounds a lot like he might have enjoyed it how I expect to enjoy it. By that, I mean there will be a few head scratchers in there, but ultimately it’s a good time in the same way all X-Events are.
