Finished browsing through the news avalanche from the NYCC on Newsarama, CBR, etc. and adaptations into movies and games were the most interesting stories. Marvel and DC are all about the big events right now, but more teases aren't really changing reading plans for me personally. Secret Invasion and Batman: RIP are reads (for now), Trinity will get a look for the Bagley art, and Final Crisis is a pass unless word of mouth changes my mind (dropped the last Crisis pretty early on).
The last couple events that I followed start to finish were rough. Civil War was worth it for the McNiven art covering for an okay story. Then I and plenty others were burned by Spider-Man: One More Day with nice pencils by Quesada but the story itself acting as a good jumping off point. Since then Amazing Spider-Man has become a title I check for the occasional penciller of interest, but the stories don't grab me.
The most interesting developments in the last few days were the announcement of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows for every gaming system (but c'mon, you want it for a current gen system) along with movie news. I missed the last movie game, but Ultimate Spider-Man is still one of my favorite comic games. The WoS trailer was pretty wild with Spider-Man looking to be in the middle of a big Marvel universe event instead of the solo tale these kinds of games are usually set in.
On the movie front are a bunch of descriptions of new trailers and/or scenes that aren't online yet for The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, and The Dark Knight. Not that I mind being unable to view them yet, since anymore I'm simply ready to see the movies and avoid being spoiled. The summer blockbuster season has already lined up around half a dozen films I want to see or am at least considering. Can't wait!
