Lying In The Gutters – April 5th 2010

I always hated The Big Bang Theory because it wasn't Spaced. Strangely I'm started to be drawn towards it again. Okay so what's been going on this week?

Top Ten Bleeds Of The Week

1. Star Wars Patent Plastic Potato – And Many More Things

Star Wars patents unearthed from the files for all sorts of Star Wars toys. Even if one looked a little more like Darth Tater. And of course, if one day someone does make a real life AT-AT, the estate of George Lucas will be there with his paperwork.

2. A Kiss Is Still A Kiss – Wolverine's Son And Bullseye Get It On

Nothing like a bit of mutant-on-assassin action to get the hits rising. And yes, it's all to do with Daken's pheromones, but come on. This scene is pure slashfic.

3. Malware Concerns At Newsarama Addressed

Everyone's browsers scream "malware" when they try to get on to Newsarama. So they searched for "newsarama malware". And they came to Bleeding Cool for the explanation. Because they couldn't see the explanation at Newsarama. The irony is not lost on anyone.

4. Brightest Day In Pictures

Well didn't it all just look spiffing? Everybody lives! Except, you know, for those who don't.

5. Marvel's Next Big Thing – Shadowland

Just what is Daredevil up to? What is he building? And how many titles will this new event, a year in the making, take over? Place your bets now…

6. Top Ten Tips To Blag Your Way Into San Diego

Okay, okay, Columbine joke aside, I know a number of people who have set a few of these in motion to get into San Diego now that tickets are sold out. Got any more to add?

7.  Number Crunching: Blackest Night #8

Taking the most popular comic of the week apart, panel by panel, cent by cent. And discovering it's rather good value for money too. If only more $3.99 comics were like this.

8. Avatar Press To Sue James Cameron

Yes it was an April Fool. And yes, it got sillier as it went on. And yes none of you should have fallen for it. And yes, some of you did. Serving legal papers in 3D lenticular Really?

9. Marvel Sends Letter To Creators About Apple iPad Urging They Stay Positive

A bit of spin here from Marvel's PR guys, trying to keep their creators onside as hacks scour the web trying to find dissent regarding this Bright! Bold! Future! So naturally I got a copy of the letter…

10. Fox Denies Mark Millar Was Offered X-Men 4

Days after Mark Millar mock-announced that he'd bought a billboard in Times Square to advertise Nemesis, he announced he'd turned down the chance to write X-Men 4. No wonder some people were a little unsure… Challenges were made, I got in touch with Fox, then they denied it. remarkably, since then I've seen evidence that Fox offered Mark a little more than they were letting on to me – but not X-Men 4.

Bubbling Under

Is Mark Millar The Boy Who Cried Wolverine?, Jim Lee drawing on the iPad, DC's upcoming War Of The Marvels, the confirming of the Marvel iPad App, trouble at the Hyatt, more porn photos from the Batman XXX shoot, a look inside the TARDIS – oh lots of Doctor stuff actually, an initial review and then ten things that occurred the morning after, a few looks at Wondercon, and some disgareement over who was actually publishing Prince Of Persia – and how. And that Daily Mail review of Kick Ass.

Five You May Have Missed

1. Britain's Child Image Legislation Coming Into Effect

2. European Digital Creator Issues and the possibility of a creators strike.

3. Checker announcing their withdrawal from Diamond – and alleging all sorts of bizarre behaviour.

4. The French Connection store redesign for Kick Ass. Handy when the owner has made an investment in the film!

5. Rejected By Zuda – Tears Of A Dragon.
