Marvel shared their April releases this week.
Sigil #2 reveals that their new Crossgen mini-series aren't necessarily rebooting just the comic in their titles as the pirates of
El Cazador also appear in this issue.
There's a new issue of
Namor: The First Mutant of course. I've been wanting to try this out and just picked up the first issue of the new storyline after the opening
X-Men-crossover storyline finished. I'll let you know what I think.
Dinosaurs are going to get plenty of attention in April too. Reptyl naturally appears in
Avengers Academy #12, and Ka-Zar and the Savage Land appear prominently in both
Skaar: King of the Savage Land #s 1 and 2 and
Spider-Man #13.
*Dinosaurs are also big players in
DC's April comics. Magic ones (summoned by Zatanna, for some reason) are featured in
Power Girl #23 and
Secret Six: The Reptile Brain collects a storyline in which Bane and some cohorts conduct a mission in dinosaur-filled Skartaris.
*Adventure! thought of another jungle girl they missed in their list last week:
Tawana from Abbot and Costello Comics.
Movies*A couple of new photos have been released from
Pirates of the Caribbean 4. [

reviews Tyrannosaurus Azteca.
TV*
Hawaii Five-O is having a very special guest star in an upcoming episode:
the famous tidal wave from its opening credits.They're also adding
a new cast member: a female version of a guy who used to guest star on the original version every once in a while. I watched the original
really sporadically as a kid, so I didn't realize that there was a recurring villain or
a man from Washington who occasionally showed up to try to catch him.
*The Black Panther cartoon that I thought was going to air on BET, but never did
is now on DVD.
Miscellaneous*The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is offering some
online courses to teach ocean exploration.Topics include: searching for ocean anomalies, selecting sites for exploration, communication tools, telepresence technology, ocean mapping techniques, water column study and operating underwater robots.
*A student from the Semester at Sea program is
blogging about her experience. There's also
a group blog documenting the trip.
*An
octopus-shaped chair is certainly villainous, but I can't help wanting one for my living room. Although I'd also need a trident to hold while sitting in it.
