Just in case you’re like me and thought “It can’t be that time of the year already!” Yup, it is. Tomorrow, May 2nd, is Free Comic Book Day. If you’re still not on the bandwagon from all this time, Free Comic Book Day is an event where a good amount of comic book stores around the nation give out, you guessed it, free comic books for the day to all who enter.

So be sure to take a detour when you’re out tomorrow and pick up your free comic book from your local shop.

Where’s your curly mustache? One of the most in-demand game ever will make its triumphant return, upscaled for HD and with the great online system from Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

Enjoy the trailer and the Stan Bush music.

In honor of tax day for all Americans, I wanted to do an appropriate article for the occasion.

How about a Decepticon Auditor!

Crazy takes a look at the Wal-Mart Exclusive Ares Marvel Legends Wave.

Everyone say “Yay” now.

After some high-stress moments for comic nerds everywhere, Fox has resolved their dispute with Warner Bros. over the distribution rights of the Watchmen title. Originally stating copyright infringement and taking Warners to court in an effort to gain rights as a co-distributor for the Watchmen movie that will be in theaters later this year, Fox has settled the case on an undisclosed agreement with Warners, though large sums of cash and future sequel profits have been mentioned to be involved states Entertainment Weekly.

Both studios acknowledge the other’s follies in the matter, and though heated arguments and hurtful words may have been thrown about during the proceedings, Fox says it looks forward to the release of Watchmen in March along with every other geek in the country. You know, at the expense of film co-producer Larry Gordon’s folly for not buying out the rest of the rights from Fox when he had the chance of course. Thanks for the honking-big scare, Larry!

With the past 364 days behind us, you may wonder “What the hell was so special about 2008, anyway?” Surely there were a myriad of noteworthy events, such as a controversial new president elect and Gay marriage being banned, then allow, then banned again.

Line ups have been announced for the next 2 waves of Marvel Minimates.

Series 25
(New) Captain America & Red Skull
Red Hulk & Ska’ar
Iron Man & AIM Agent
VARIANT: “Bolt-Face” Iron Man & AIM Agent

Series 26
Wolverine & Deadpool
Gambit & Psylocke
Sabretooth & Skrull
VARIANT: First Appearance Sabretooth & Skrull

It was mentioned that there were going to be Army Builder figures in these waves, but I am extremely diappointed to see they won’t be packaged together. So if you want two 3 AIM Agents, you have to have 3 Iron Men. As if we didn’t have enough already. At least they aren’t packaged with Wolverine.
