We Have A Hulk: Avengers Extended Super Bowl Trailer

If you watched the Super Bowl yesterday for the actual football game, you are moaning with disappointment over the Patriots loss, chortling in a self-satisfied manner over the Patriots loss, or a poor, doomed resident of New Jersey enjoying the first modern mention of your state that does not involve the terms, “guido,” “Snooki” or “taint-scented.”

However, if you’re one of the smart ones who watched just for the commercials, you saw a new, thirty-second spot for the upcoming Joss Whedon Avengers flick with a bunch of not previously seen footage. That was sweet… but you know what’s sweeter? The extended version Marvel released online with even more not previously seen footage. Which you can see after the jump…

My Dinner With Alan: Alan Moore’s Video Conference

We have a very busy day ahead of us in no way related to the world of comics, so here’s a little light lunchtime / screwing off from work / pretending to work by staring intently at your computer screen entertainment: a two and a half hour long interview with Alan Moore.

Fo some background: a little while back, American Splendor creator Harvey Pekar’s widow, Joyce Brabner, started a Kickstarter project to raise money for a statue of Harvey to be erected in Cleveland. One of the benefits offered for donations of a particular dollar amount was the chance to participate in a video conference with Alan Moore. At the time it just seemed like a neat opportunity to get face time with a legendary creator… nobody knew that it would turn into a neat opportunity to get face time with a legendary creator who just learned that DC Comics was doing a prequel to one of his masterworks.

With that said, reportedly Moore is even-tempered, pleasant and gracious in the video (No, I haven’t seen it yet. I live in Boston, which means yesterday was spent watching a truly depressing football game and that I am hung over… and therefore need something to watch today while pretending to work), and addresses subjects from his feud with Grant Morrison, to Before Watchmen, to how to do magic.
