Super Bowl XLVII is set to air on Sunday, February 3, which is the week before The Walking Dead is set to return on AMC.

Dan Slott has been ambushing readers of Amazing Spider-Man with a lot of big, surprise endings recently and, all along the way, he hasn’t wanted anyone spoiling it for him. So when Superior Spider-Man #1 leaked last night and spoilers started inundating the Internet, we were good little boys and girls and didn’t look. …But then, the minute we could get our hands on a copy, we knew we had to devour the sucker before somebody spoiled it for us.

Former Mystery Science Theater 3000 masterminds MIke Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy, now the stars of Rifftrax (which does basically the same thing, except with movies you’ve heard of before they’re mocked), gathered in a new promotional video today to discuss their new release of a “riff” on Marvel’s The Avengers.

The hit CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory is often the source of some heated discussions in comics corners. To its fans, it’s fun to see a version of themselves and their friends depicted on TV, albeit in a way that’s exaggerated for comedic effect. Representation (and especially relatable representation), they argue, is something that the “geek”/”nerd” subculture has never really had in mass media.
