Brian Michael Bendis’ First DC Project Revealed – The good folks at DC Comics are gearing up for not just Brian Michael Bendis joining the staff but also several milestones; one being Action Comics #1000 issue. Legendary Superman scribe, Dan Jurgens is currently working on that book and isn’t expected to depart. However, much like with Justice League during the New 52 relaunch, Action Comics #1000 will feature a back end story, separate from Jurgen’s story, that will feature the writing talent of Bendis. They’re not the only ones, as Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason will also write a secondary feature within the book. So you’re looking at multiple stories in a singular issue of “Action Comics”.

No word on who the fourth director will be but with the MCU about ready to swallow the X-Men universe whole in two years, Fox needs to get this movie out before the deal between Disney and Fox is finalized by the US government, or else this movie may never happen.

Venom Update – ‘Venom’ has released two images, one of Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and one of his notebook.

So, how exactly does the Life Foundation go about testing its pharmaceuticals?
