New Batman: Arkham Asylum Trailer is Joker-riffic
Like most fans of the Caped Crusader, I’ve been following the development of Batman: Arkham Asylum since its announcement last year. So far, everything about the game has looked promising, from the Paul Dini-scribed plot to Mark Hamill’s excellent work as the voice of the Joker. When I caught this new trailer and a handful of screenshots for the game this morning, it made me pretty excited for the game’s May release date. Hit the jump for the trailer and more screens.

Preview/Review: The Stuff of Legend #1
Back at Baltimore Comic Con, we met up with the guys from Th3rd World Studios and discussed some of their upcoming projects, including The Stuff of Legend. I noted back in September that the story and the artwork both looked like they would be right up my alley, so I was pretty excited about this series from the start. I just got a chance to read the first issue of Stuff of Legend, which will be given out for Free Comic Book Day in May, and so far I’m loving it. Hit the jump for more, as well as some preview art. Don’t forget to click any image to see it in Expand-O-Scope; you’re going to want to get a closer look.

Preview: Witchblade #124
Can you feel it in the air? It’s almost time for the War of the Witchblades to begin. In Witchblade #124, the events leading up to the conflict will fall into place. There’s also a resolution to the Crown Heights story (sort of), a murder cover-up, and a catfight thrown in for good measure. That’s a lot for one issue! We’ll have the full review early next week, but hit the jump for some preview pages from the February issue of Witchblade.
