FIFTY SHADES OF JEAN GREY
From THR:
The She-Hulk Diaries focuses on Jennifer Walters (aka She-Hulk), who is trying to balance climbing the corporate ladder during the day with battling super villains at night "all while trying to navigate the dating world to find a Mr. Right who might not mind a sometimes very big and green girlfriend."
Rogue Touch centers on the popular X-Man heroine, who can absorb other heroes' powers through touch. After she accidently puts her boyfriend in a coma, Rogue runs away from home. She then meets the "handsome and otherwordly Jame and sparks fly."
Rogue finds herself caught between her superpowers and "the only man alive who seems to truly understand her."
Hyperion will publish both novels in June. In announcing the series, Hyperion Editor-in-Chief Elisabeth Dyssegaard said, "It's a great time to explore what happens to super-heroines when they are dropped into traditional women's novels."

Batwing gets a helmet, plus more comic book news – Batman-News.com
Artist Ken Lashley also showed off his artwork for the issue #20 cover which confirms my suspicions after reading issue #17 this week and the latest Channel 52 News segment– Batwing is getting brand new armor. Now, Batwing in essence has always been an Iron Man/Batman hybrid (I'm talking about the hero, David isn't anything like Tony Stark) but with the major difference of looking really, really lame. This new design by Lashley may make the Iron Man parallel a bit more obvious but I think we can all agree that it looks a hell of a lot cooler. Plus, Batwing is now protecting his face!
Bob Kane and Bill Finger were sitting in Poe Park in 1939 when they dreamed up their dark hero, caped crusader Batman. Now some seven decades later, a new generation of comic book artists are paying homage to the borough's ties to such iconic characters as Batman, Robin and the Joker.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: Thor's hammer weighs 300 billion elephants | Crave – CNET
Thor's hammer Mjölnir is said to be made of neutron-star matter. Tyson did the calculations and determined the hammer must therefore weigh as much as 300 billion elephants. That's not a common form of weight measurement, so we have to do some further calculations to translate elephants into pounds.
