Chris Cooper Will Be Norman Osborn In ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2′

Marc Webb’s “Amazing Spider-Man 2″ keeps the villain casting decisions rolling, now adding in Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn, to star alongside Jamie Foxx as Electro and Paul Giamatti who is rumored to be Rhino. It is yet to be seen whether Cooper will dawn the Green Goblin garb, but at least they are setting it up for the future.

Marvel Brings ‘Amazing Spider-Man’, ‘Wolverine’, & ‘Captain America And…’ To An End

With Marvel NOW! fast approaching, it’s no surprise that Marvel is putting a stop to some of their longest running series, prepping for new versions of the books in the coming year. With the release of their December solicitations, Marvel declares that “Amazing Spider-Man,” “Wolverine,” and “Captain America And…” will all come to a close with 2012.

Don’t worry. There’s no doubt that both “Spider-Man” and “Wolverine” titles will be back on the shelves in January, they just might wear a shiny #1 instead of a #701. Either way, you’d do well to pick up “Amazing Spider-Man” #700 as it is a landmark issue for the hero. As CBR points out, the only real question is whether or not the book will still carry “Amazing” in the title, or if it will be dropped for something a little more hip. READ MORE

GRAPHIC CONTENT PICK OF THE WEEK- Carnage USA #1

Carnage has been out of the picture since 2004, when the all-powerful Sentry flew him somewhere into space and literally tore him apart.

Wells, who is hot off the press with his work on The Avenging Spider-Man, teams up with Clayton Crain to revive the maniacal Carnage and bring some real terror into the lives of those innocent townsfolk.
