– Did you know comic book movies are popular? Proof: Thor: The Dark World opened to the tune of $86.1 million, boosting its worldwide revenue to $327 million. Box Office Guru has it projected to potentially hit $700 million, which is pretty damn amazing. CinemaScore grades came in more positive than the first Thor, so this could bode well for its legs, especially given the fact that it has a nice couple week buffer before Catching Fire tries to drink its milkshake. Dolla dolla bills, ya’ll!

– Rumor is Nightwing will be appearing in the upcoming “Batman/Superman” joint, and that the frontrunner for the role is Adam Driver from “Girls”. I’m trying to imagine someone who would be less of a fit for the role, but I honestly can’t think of anyone. I’m really hoping this doesn’t happen, but hey, maybe they’re trying to distract from Ben Affleck?

– Speaking of “Batman/Superman”, Zack Snyder says that there will certainly be conflict between the two of them. So if your big hope for this movie was the two of them fighting, sounds like you’ll get your wish.

– Hey look! Dark Horse Comics opened a Tumblr! Visit! Learn! Tumbl!

– While at NYCC, I commented that I’d love to see an article of just photos of cosplayers doing mundane things. Little did I know, Bored Panda was already doing that, and in this article, all my dreams come true. CLICK THIS LINK. DO IT! DO IT FOR THE UNICORN TAKING A BATH!

– Oh my god, there’s an Annihilation Omnibus coming! I have three hardcovers collecting all of it already, but an all-in-one Omnibus? Too sexy! Too sexy!
