Official The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Synopsis
"We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead. It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp."

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. by Joss Whedon has been highly controversial show. But this week the ratings for the show, which were on a minor slide, went up to 9.89 million viewers showing the television show is finding it's audience.

Back in August, Joss Whedon described Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as "a very deliberate deconstruction...to star the person who mattered the least." He added, "There’s a world of superheroes and superstars, they’re celebrities, and that’s a complicated world - particularly complicated for people who don’t have the superpowers, the disenfranchised." Along the way we have insane action and cutting-edge special effects that are making the show one of the best on television. One of the artists working to bring Joss Whedon's vision to life is storyboard artist Warren Drummond and he told me what it's like to work on the latest show by Marvel. He also kindly sent me some exclusive storyboards to share with you.

Warren Drummond is a professional storyboard artist who's worked on blockbuster movies like Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and X-Men: First Class (2011). He describes his job as seeing in pictures and then executing "the image my mind has captured or created on to paper and perhaps later into a computer."

The Wolverine Blu-raywas released yesterday, so it's a prefect time to look at some never-before-seen concept art from the film. When the first official photos from The Wolverine were released many said Logan's shaggy appearance made him look like a hobo.

One of the costume concept illustrators working with her was Phillip Boutte Jr. and he sent me some exclusive illustrations for Wolverine's street clothes.

Check out Man of Steel concept art from the viral site LearnAboutKrypton.com!

Last week's home video release of the Superman reboot Man of Steel (2013) is the number one selling DVD. One of the viral sites created to support the DVD is a site called LearnAboutKrypton.com. The site is supposed to be a series of documentaries on the culture, aviation and weaponry of the planet Krypton. Hidden in the documentaries are a series of "artist renderings" that appear to be concept art from the film. I know for a fact that one of the "Artist Renderings" is actually based on real concept art for the film (Jor-El's rear cape shot). So, I did some screen-caps of the clips.
