I was worried about how bad my Smurfette was. Then I saw the live-action movie trailer.

I’ll be reviewing said trailer tomorrow.

There really isn’t a Clutter Report this week. I had planned to review some untranslated manga, but it felt weird doing so in light of the recent events in Japan, with the earthquake and tsunami. I’ll go through them in the future, but it left me without an article. The rest of the Wrap-Up is intact, however.

comics

• An American makes a push for a British adaptation of a Norwegian comic.
• Theories abound when DC demands stores destroy the latest Scooby-Doo comic.

television/movies

• A DVD release date for Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Included will be the internet “minisodes”. Also, release dates for Challenge of the GoBots (about SLAGGING TIME!), and complete series box sets for Transformers, Beast Wars, and Reboot.
• Meanwhile, SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron and the last volume of Night Court are being taken off of Warner Brothers’ “manufacture on demand” service so they can find better copies to work with.
• A talk with the producers for the new Blade Runner movie.

video games

• The next in the retro-style Sonic games is confirmed.
• External testing begins on the new Star Wars MMO. I’m sure many of you not only know which one but have already found a way to pre-order it.
• Coming to a 3DS near you: Sega Game Gear and the Turbo-Grafx-16.
• Infamous 2 is offering something unique to the genre: user-generated content. Is this the wave of the future in gaming?
• A release date has been announced for Batman: Arkham City, the sequel to Arkham Asylum.

in other news

• Some commotion in the Bioware forums.
• How fire behaves without gravity.
• This Week’s Cracked: Fashion sense, a strong grip, and James Earl Jones are given as 5 Scientific Reasons The Dark Side Will Always Win, thus proving that occasionally science doesn’t have a bloody clue.

Best Scene of This Week’s Reviews

Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man V2 #

Usually I have to go through the nominees (depending on the competition offered that week), but this time I already knew the winner instantly. Can Tobin be the official Aunt May writer, please?
