DC Entertainment has been setting up some unusual partnerships of late and this may just be the most innovative: a team up with dating site Match.com to present profiles of Superman and Wonder Woman, who are rumored to be hooking up in JLA #12. Perhaps realizing that many young comics fans are single, DC has surveyed male AND female Match.com users to discover that Superman is the most kissable superhero and other stuff like that. Which makes us say that Match.com users, you are totally wrong because it is Batman all the way!

What happens whan an immovable lesbian object hits an unstoppable asexual force? As revealed by Entertainment Weekly today, they apparently have unconvincing heterosexual sky sex.

Stuart Immonen's artwork is one of the key selling points to, well, anything he is involved with, and All-New X-Men #1 is no exception. The premise of the book is that the original five members of the X-Men - Angel, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman and Beast - have come to the present for some reason (no, there's no sign of other founding X-Men Shortpack and Sage at this point in time). They are in the present, and they are... in the present. And Stuart Immonen is drawing it! So now you know the premise of the series in its entirety. The regardless point being, Marvel have released some of Immonen's pencils for the first issue of the series, written by Brian Michael Bendis. And unsurprisingly, they're spiffing, corking, and several other 1960s adjectives.

Due to his comedy stylings in the upcoming Robot Chicken DC special, Aquaman gets his own Robot Chicken variant cover for issue #12. We actually find this gaudy cover quite invigorating.

A few days ago CBR rolled out the exclusive revealof the trailer for GREAT PACIFIC, an Image series comics out in November that deals with the (real) great garbage pile floating in the Pacific and ecological issues. To be blunt, we like this trailer better than many we've seen, and the main reason is the great score. According to Harris, he got one of his old pals from film school to actually write the music. And wow...that makes a difference.

A hardcover collection of AvX is coming out this November. And here's the trailer. And here is the copy that they sent to run with the trailer detailing all the extras that you get for your $75.

In a post on her artistic techniques, Colleen Doran reveals that she's working on a graphic novel with Neil Gaiman, to be published by Dark Horse. The two previously collaborated on issues of THE SANDMAN.

So, I finally saw THE DARK KNIGHT RISES...yes, yes I know. In my defense, I tried seeing it twice and it was sold out and then I had a hard time finding three spare hours. And also...well, I'm not the biggest fan of the Nolan Batman trilogy. I get why it is so beloved and all, but the filmmaking is often sloppy to my tastes. (The horrible sound editing in DKR being one example.) Anyway, I did enjoy it, even though it was so lax in its storytelling. And I kept getting distracted by things. Like Catwoman's high heels. As soon as she appeared, I wondered "How is she running in those high heels?" And as if to answer my question, some hapless gunsel asks the same question in the film and Catwoman shows that they are really fearsome weapons. Got it.
