Oliver Davis reviews 2000AD’s Prog #1892… Borag thungg, Earthlets!

It seems the Clerks director is moving away from comedy and keeping with his new horror vibe. Kevin Smith dropped the first trailer for his latest movie Tusk at San Diego Comic-Con this past weekend and now it looks like it will be the first part of a trilogy.

Maybe we’ll find out if he ever went to prom. From Bloody Disgusting: “As you may recall, Texas Chainsaw 3D, […]

After teasing the suit late last week and revealing Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman (see here), we now have the first full shot of Ben Affleck’s Batsuit for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice… okay, well not quite, as a photoshopped image has been doing the rounds on Twitter via the SHH forums, but it […]
