ITEM! Comic books on mobile phones! Publishers are currently testing the waters of digital distribution on mobile devices. It’s kind of weird at first, but once you let the idea settle in, you’ll… nah. There’s nothing like “new comic smell” and the sound of flipping the 4-color pages. Interesting initiative, though.

ITEM! “Iron Man” teaser trailer now online! And it was earlier than expected! It’s basically the same piece of video awesomeness that was shown during the San Diego Comic-Con, but I’m not complaining. I nominate it for a Nobel Prize for Awesome.

ITEM! Former Supergirl Helen Slater to appear on Smallville! She’ll be playing the aunt of the new Supergirl, Canadian actress Laura Vandervoort. Slater will appear two weeks after Dean Cain, a former Superman, makes his appearance. Believe it!

I saw Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer last Friday night and I think it’s far better than the first FF movie, which isn’t really saying much. I was so distracted by Jessica Alba’s hotness and weird contacts. WTF’s up with that?! Also, to that cosmic cloud they call “Galactus“, I say “booo!” I mean, come on!
