The good folks at Marvel have supplied us with a sneak peek at the upcoming Fantastic Four #584 and the second printing variant for the hot sell-out issue #583 which kick started the Three  storyline. Critics and fans have had their blown by Hickman and Epting's run on Marvel's first family. 

The good folks at Paramount have supplied us with a trailer for the upcoming Coen Brothers film "True Grit". Starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin and introducing Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit tells the story of a 14-year-old girl who joins an aging U.S. marshal (Bridges) and another lawman (Damon) in tracking her father's killer into hostile Indian territory. The film is an adaptation of Charles Portis’ original novel. Sticking more closely to the source material than the 1969 feature adaptation starring Western icon John Wayne, the Coens' True Grit tells the story from the young girl's perspective, and re-teams the celebrated filmmaking duo with their No Country for Old Men screenwriting partner Scott Rudin.

Check out the trailer for suspense/thriller "The American" starring Academy Award Winner George Clooney, Bruce Altman and Thelka Reuten of "In Bruges" fame. The film will be released in Australia on the 11th of November 2010 and has an MA+ rating for strong sex scenes (ooh la la!)

The good folks at Marvel have supplied us with a sneak peek at Deadpool #28  from writer Daniel Way and artist Carlo Barberi. Deadpool has been recruited into the Secret Avengers by none other than Captain Steve Rogers himself. Problem being, the merc with a mouth has always struggled with the covert side of things.

Marvel have supplied us with a preview of Incredible Hulks #615 by THE Hulk scribe Greg Pak and drawn by Barry Kitson.  The Dark Son saga continues and leaves Hulk with an impossible decision to make, his world or his son.  These decisions will test the mettle of Hulk's ever increasing brood as well as his allegiance to old friends. Check it out when it hits shelves on the 27th of October.

Image Comics have sent through a rather cryptic teaser. Could this really be the end for Robert Kirkman's the Walking Dead? I doubt it but I've been wrong before. It all starts in issue #80 of The Walking Dead in the "No Way Out" arc.

X-23 #1 2nd Printing Marvel have supplied us with a sneak peek at X-23 #2 by the absolutely cracking team of Marjorie M. Liu and Will Conrad. If you've been to GeekOfOz before you will already know how much I enjoyed X-23 so there's no real need to bang on about it again. Check out my interview with writer Marjorie M. Liu  here. Wolverine's soul has been sent to Hell while his body remains on earth, terrorising his nearest and dearest.
