The Daily Bleven -- May 7

The Avengers is projected to clear $200 million in the North American box office for its opening weekend. For those keeping score, that smashes the record set by the final Harry Potter movie. In related news, every day makes it harder for me to not post Avengers spoilers. I've already seen it twice, and I don't think a third viewing is out of the realm of possibilities.

Is anyone else surprised that there wasn't a terrible video game tie-in to the Avengers?

Marvel's Thunderbolts comic will be renamed Dark Avengers with issue 175. It will combine the Thunderbolts and the Dark Avengers teams, and launch into a new direction. Also of note is that the art looks really, really bad.

Tomorrow is international Starhawk day! Celebrate by buying the game, and then skipping work to play it!

I just saw the first dev diary for Sorcery, and I have to say that I like the way it's coming along. Also, it's apparently only going to be $40 at launch (May 22). If I wasn't already going to get it, I think this would push me over the edge.
