Marvel Comics -- sort of -- resurrects the Micronauts
I loved the Micronauts comics series that Marvel published back in the 1970s, early 80s. The series was inspired by the Micronauts toy line, but also included a Bill Mantlo-created series of characters not based on toys. Now it looks as if the company is bringing back some of those characters. Check this out:

I may be a tad late to the party, but if you haven't really heard about it, visit What if Kirby. It's a fabulous site, dedicated to high-quality scans or original art by the pioneering comics artist.

The tracklist consists of covers that White picked out, including a take on Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good" that Third Man has already released as a single.
Lost graphic novel by William S. Burroughs set for publication
"Ah Pook Is Here" by the legendary Beat-associated author has been published by Fantagraphics. Details:
Ah Pook Is Here first appeared in 1970 under the title The Unspeakable Mr. Hart as a monthly comic strip written by Burroughs and drawn by the British cartoonist and painter Malcolm McNeil in the English magazine Cyclops. When the publication folded, Burroughs and McNeill decided to develop the project into a full-length, Word/Image novel (the term ‘graphic novel’ had not yet been coined). Burroughs was 56 at the time, McNeill 23.
The book was conceived as a single painting in which text and images were combined in whatever form seemed appropriate to the narrative. It was conceived as 120 continuous pages that would ‘fold out.’ Such a book was, at the time, unprecedented, and no publisher was willing to take a chance and publish a ‘graphic novel.’ Burroughs and McNeill finally abandoned the project after collaborating on it for 7 years.
Early pics from the Captain America movie
Via The Superficial: production shots show Cap on his vintage WWII motor bike. Presumably the stunt double in the pics will get a digital makeover in the final production.
