Could the highlight of this trailer possibly be Bruce Willis getting out of a car?

Yes. See it below.

I have to admit that the shiny, metallic costumes of Odin and Loki, and the clean machine-worked stone of Asgard left me a little disappointed. Were these really the gods who inspired the Vikings to war? The same pantheon with trickster god who has three kids with a giant, two of whom are a serpent and a wolf? And also once turned into a mare, had sex with a stallion, and gave birth to an eight-legged foal that his dad rides around now? I guess I’m not a big devotee of technology-as-magic. But!

I have revised my position upon seeing this new shot, revealed today in the print edition of The LA Times (but not online, /shrug) and diligently scanned by Superhero Hype. I understand now.

Everybody watched the MTV movie awards this weekend, right?

Yeah, that’s what we thought. It might interest you to see the three exclusive clips of previously unseen footage from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and…

Well, and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Looking for something to help you celebrate Cinco de Mayo that won’t end with you emptying the contents of your stomach (equal parts margarita and microwave burritos) into what you hope is an appropriate receptacle? It’s cool, us too. And we have the perfect solution! Head on down to your local comic store and pick up a copy of Hellboy in Mexico (Or, A Drunken Blur), written by Mike Mignola and drawn by Richard Corben. The story features everyone’s favorite Antichrist, demons, Mexican wrestlers, and Ape Sapien. There might even be tentacles.

Yesterday the Arizona State Senate approved SB 1307, a bill that prohibits the manufacture, for any reason, of human-animal hybrids. Specifically, it prohibits anyone in Arizona from “creating or attempting to create an in vitro human embryo by any means other than fertilization of a human egg by a human sperm.”

Also verboten is “transferring or attempting to transfer a human embryo into a nonhuman womb,” “transferring or attempting to transfer a nonhuman embryo into a human womb” and “transporting or receiving for any purpose a human-animal hybrid.”

Not satisfied by the three seconds of Tony Stark skydiving in the Iron Man 2 trailer? Unenchanted by Pepper Pots‘ feistyness? Would you like a whole bunch of gratuitous Ironette dancing? Comic Book Resources has you covered.

For the spoiler wary, this clip is just an extended version of what we saw in the trailer, but leaving in the bits of the movie just having fun with Iron Man flight and, well… boobs. The only dialogue in it also appears in the trailer.

Nostalgia warning: Darkwing Duck is back this June. BOOM! Studios, who already publish numerous Disney character comics through their BOOM Kids! imprint, are bringing the terror that flaps in the night back in a four-issue miniseries beginning in June. The announcement was made yesterday at the Emerald City Comic Con.

Ian Brill, writer on the miniseries, promises lots of villains:

“Darkwing has such a great rogue’s gallery, I couldn’t pick just one. By the time you get to the end of the first issue you’ll see four, and then there are only going to be more as the series progresses. All the villains’ lives have been changed, too. There have been big changes in St. Canard and everyone’s dealing with them in their own way. This series has the familiar characters you want but given new situations that we hope gives a sense of vitality to the stories.”
