Scott Pilgrim vs The World
Director: Edgar Wright
Stars: Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jason Schwartzman, Kieran Culkin, Amanda Pill, Ellen Wong, Mark Webber.

I'll be bold right off the back and say that while I love the Scott Pilgrim books to no end, I found this movie adaptation of the game centric love story of Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers

What is Pants Stampede? Pants Stampede is an occasional feature on the site where the members of the Panteon take a gander at the week's releases and give a quick hit and run review of each one. Now, we may not cover everything, as some of them are already covered in our Wednesday Number Ones and some we may not have access to, but we'll get to as many as we can. As always, we're curious what you thought of this week's books. What were the standouts for you? Was any book so atrocious that you threw it across the room? These are the things we want to know! Anyways, without further ado, let's get to the reviews.Book to Watch: American Vampire
Artist: Rafael Albuquerque
Company: Vertigo
Just to get this out of the way: You will absolutely, positively, find no sparkly vampires in the pages of American Vampire.
Nope, there are no longing glances or profound and angst filled declarations of love either. What you will find however is grisly violence, blood by the bucket full, harsh language, and vampires with actual teeth. Oh, and let me tell you something else: The story (or stories as it were) are damn good too.
Red Dead Redemption
Publisher: Rockstar Games
Another name for this review could also be: How the Virtual West Was Won...Or why Nick hasn't had much of a social life and has lost so many hours of sleep? That second one, while most definitely true, is a bit too long and kind of meanders a bit, don't you think? Still, ever since Dave made me watch a trailer for this (I think the one that focused on the many implements of death in the game) I was hooked and eagerly anticipated getting my hands on it.
And now that I have, am I disappointed?

Avengers #1

Everybody come quick! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the acrid smell of burning bodies and the smoldering carcass that was Asgard have finally lifted. What could this mean? Oh yeah buddy, The Heroic Age is here!
Or is it?
