The Incredible Hulk, created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in 1962, is a character born more from universal monster movies and 1950s sci-fi than more modern notions of complex, interlaced comic book lore. In the original comic books, a spindly physicist named Bruce Banner was exposed to a strange type of radiation while saving a soldier from a nuclear bomb test. Rather than killing him, the radiation mutated his body into that of a bulky, over-muscled brute. He eventually shrunk back to his normal size, but Bruce eventually found that whenever he got angry, he would transform back into an unstoppable radioactive ogre. Indeed, he was so angry, he couldn't speak or think clearly.
The Hulk became one of the more popular characters in a new wave of Marvel Comics that debuted in the 1960s. He was popular enough to be included in the Avengers, a mash-up superhero team comic...

Hulu has released its list of content arriving at the streaming service this June, as well as everything that will no longer be available to watch there after June 30.
At the top of the must-watch list is season three of Hulu Original “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which was notably pushed back to a June premiere date in order to ensure it would “maintain the quality it has,” Craig Erwich, Hulu’s Senior Vice President of Originals, said at the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour in February. The first three episodes of the new season premiere on Hulu June 5, after which new episodes will be released every Wednesday.
Another Hulu Original of note is “The Weekly” series from The New York Times, coming June 3. Each half-hour episode will feature a Times journalist investigating one of today’s most pressing issues, with new issues being explored each week.

Archie #3
Written by Mark Waid
Art by Fiona Staples
Colors by Andre Szymanowicz with Jen Vaughn
Letters by Jack Morelli
Published by Archie Comics
After being hinted at for the past two issues, Veronica Lodge finally attends her first day of school at Riverdale High in Archie #3. Artist Fiona Staples makes her the most fashion forward member of the comic’s ensemble cast while writer Mark Waid gives her quite the complicated personality as she can go from a sly joker to a spoiled rich girl or a detached observer at the drop of a hat. Her arrival heightens the melodrama of the series to a boiling point as Archie starts following her around like a puppy because he is smitten with her and also because he accidentally destroyed her father’s mansion in Archie #2. However, the breakout character of the series continues to be Jughead.

There’s nothing quite like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What began with Iron Man in 2008 has blossomed into a rich and detailed series of movies that feel natural in their cohabitation. Created in an attempt reproduce the “all-encompassing” aspect of the Marvel Comic Book Universe, the McU similarly allows its characters to make appearances over a multitude of interconnected movies, and feel the repercussions of living in a world that shares plot-lines and merges narratives.
For most of us, this simply translates as, “OhmyGod, now Thor can fight Captain America,” or “OhmyGod, now Tony Stark can team up with the Hulk.” It also makes room for a hell of a lot of Samuel L. Jackson cameos. With the McU in place, though, it’s proven to be something of a joy to watch as filmmakers make hints and plant seeds for upcoming story arcs and character developments.

Over the weekend word surfaced that Edward Norton would not be reprising his role as Bruce Banner (the Incredible Hulk) in Marvel’s The Avengers and the studio is actively searching for a new actor to fill the role.
A statement from Marvel chief Kevin Feige said Norton did not “[embody] the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members” which flared tempers in Norton’s camp. His agent, Brian Swardstrom, fired back with more details about a meeting with director Joss Whedon and how the deal ultimately fell through. (For more on the he said/we said drama, click here.)
Rather than sit idly by while his agent fights his battle, Edward Norton released his own statement that takes the high road and effectively ends the discussion. Here is Norton’s official word (via his Facebook page):

The Limits of Control Directed by Jim Jarmusch The Exploding Girl Directed by Bradley Rust In the early 1990s, slacker cinema was all the rage in American independent cinema, with wacky, mumbling characters, slow pacing and the mundanity of everyday life replacing traditional plots, characterisations and drama. Which brings us to these two Amerindie offerings. Whereas the London Film Festival programmers found them delightful, bold and original, my experience in the cinema was rather different. And given the snoring and sighing I could hear among my fellow audience members, I suspect I was not alone in my lack of enthusiasm. The Lonely Man, the anti-hero of The Limits of Control [1], is a blank canvas, a man with no name, no back story, next-to-no dialogue and no seeming motivation other than he is on some shadowy assignment involving the exchange of matchboxes with a parade of very talented actors in implausible outfits (step forward,...
