Walking Dead Celebrates 10 Years with 12 Covers

Walking Dead Celebrates 10 Years with 12 Covers - by 1upCollectibles.com


The Walking Dead begins a new story arc, issue 115 will ship with twelve covers, a standard cover, a blank cover for sketching, and ten covers that interlink, telling the story of ten years worth of The Walking Dead. A “decatych”? 

Throw in a colored version of Walking Dead #1 by Dave Stewart, a Walking Dead Tyreese reprint special and an Art of Charlie Adlard hardcover and that should be a pretty impressive tenth anniversary package to kick off All Out War…

Good Wayne Hunting: Ben Affleck is the new Batman

Good Wayne Hunting: Ben Affleck is the new Batman

According to Variety, Ben Affleck will star as the Caped Crusader in the 2015 sequel to Man of Steel. Warner Bros announced earlier today that Affleck will join Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and Christian Bale as the newest Dark Knight to grace the silver screen. 
 
Director and avid podcaster Kevin Smith, who's worked with Affleck on films such as Mallrats, Dogma, and Chasing Amy, had this to say on Twitter after reading the news:
"BEN AFFLECK IS THE NEW BATMAN!!! Do you know what this means? It means that I've seen Batman naked!!!"
 
Of course, Batman is not Affleck's first super-hero role.  The director of Argo starred as ol' Hornhead himself in 2003's Daredevil, in which he worked alongside his future wife Jennifer Garner.
 
The Superman Batman film will also star Henry Cavill and Amy Adams, who will return as Superman and Lois Lane respectively.  The film is set to be released on July 17, 2015.
