We all remember where we were for certain events: 9/11, the election of President Obama, Brett Hart’s return to the WWE. Soon another moment will become frozen in your memory: where you were when you first saw what’s in all likelihood to be the last thing ever released with Red …

Comic-Con is fast approaching and the announcements continue to roll in. Following news that 2K Games’ The Darkness II will bedelayed (opens in new tab)until February 2012 comes confirmation that a Darkness movie is in the works. Independent film studio Mandeville Films (The Fighter) has joined forces with Image Comics …
