Power of fan tweets unlocks thrilling new Avengers trailer
After using the powers of social media to unlock a new trailer, we see the Avengers in a hopeless battle against Ultron! He's only one robot, what is the problem??? Nice character moments for the Black Widow and Cap, as we see the Avengers facing a host of CGI adversaries, and a ton of CGI building coming crashing down! And I nuanced take on the aqua/orange color scheme of all movies with a more roin's egg blue and light bisque patina.

Laura Terry’s Graveyard Shakes to be published by Scholastic
Laura Terry is a cartoonist, a graduate of Pratt and the Center for Cartoon Studies and a former Xeric Grant winner (for Overboard). And now she's had an original graphic noverl called Graveyard Shakes picked up by Scholastic. The cover looks great and the synopsis which you can read below also sounds very appealing. What interests me most about this deal is that, generally speaking, Laura Terry is unknown outside of minicomics circles, and this never appeared online as a webcomic, but she's had a whole GN picked up for publishing by one of the most successful publishers in the business.
