Watch Dr. Conners Become the Lizard In This New ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ Viral Clip

The Amazing Spider-Man is an interesting case. It looks extremely promising but I think a lot of the hype for it is severely downplayed due to being sandwiched between The Avengers, which continues to just crush at the box office, and the upcoming finale to Nolan’s Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises. Still, it’s definitely worth getting excited over and it’s viral games have been an absolute blast. Hit the jump to see the latest clip from the game, which showcases Dr. Conners and his transformation.

Spider-Man vs. Hurricane Irene

For those unaware Hurricane Irene is slamming the east coast right now, doing all the things a hurricane generally does. But our eastern readers can rest easy in their homes, because it would seem superheroes are more dedicated to the “through rain, sleet, or snow” philosophy than your average mail carrier. Spider-Man is out amongst you now, cheering up those stuck in the hurricane. I really don’t need to explain more, but I would just like to say that I’d like to meet this guy and commend him.

The Rogues Gallery: Hellboy

Welcome to The Rogues Gallery, where we feature some of our favorite official and fan art of a different character every week. We’ll try to provide the artist name and link to their respective sites whenever possible. To keep things fair, we’ll be alternating the focus of each gallery. One week will be DC, the next Marvel, the next Dark Horse, followed by a specific cult film property, followed by a TV show, then repeat. This week we’ll be taking look at none other than the Beast of the Apocalypse himself, Hellboy.
