Soul Calibur 4 hit video game consoles this week and has been wowing fans new and old alike. With as big an established fanbase as the Soul Calibur series already has, you can bet there’s a ton of cool fan art online. Here’s a look at some of the best. Be sure to follow the links back to see the full piece of artwork and to let the artists know you like their stuff! And please note that due to the ridiculous character designs on some of these folks, some of these pieces of art (ie: Ivy and Tira) might not be considered safe for work.

Have you ever woken up from a dream that seemed so real you had to check your surroundings to make sure you have really woken up? Now imagine that a series of troubling events has occurred and now you’re at your best friend’s house with no recollection of how you have gotten there. Are you losing your mind or have you really woken up at all? This is the question that Carl faces after being beaten into a coma on the London Underground, is he really awake but losing his mind, or is he in fact stuck in his mind?
Smartasses come in every size and shape, and you can find plenty of them in your TV shows and movies. This week John takes a look at ten notable smartasses you can’t help but love.

We get a bunch of review copies of comic books every week, and after going through the noteworthy ones and writing up the reviews, the comics just sit in a stack here in Fandomania Central. While moving furniture and wishing I were at Comic Con this past weekend, I decided the big stack o comics needs to go. So here’s the deal…
Reply to this post with your favorite thing you heard about, saw, or learned from this year’s San Diego Comic Con, and you’ll be entered in a drawing to win a stack of 20 of these comics. Be sure to use your real e-mail address when you reply, or I won’t be able to contact you if you win.
Keep in mind that these are not minty-mint collector grade comics. They’re the actual copies we read here when we write up reviews, so they ain’t perfect. They’re great for reading, though, so why not give it a shot and get these things off my hands?
The contest will run until next Wednesday (August 6) at 12:00am Eastern time. At that time I’ll announce the winner, and then I’ll start up another one of these later in the day. You can expect comic giveaways like this each week until I get rid of this mountain of issues.
Good luck!

The previously announced Wheel of Time comic book adaptation, in production at Dabel Brothers and based on the bestselling epic fantasy novels by the late Robert Jordan, now has a creative team. Chuck Dixon will be writing the series with Mike S. Miller on art duties. Dixon is a longtime comics favorite, having helmed many Batman series throughout the 1990’s and creating the Birds of Prey team and comic book at DC. Miller is no stranger to adapting fantasy novels to comics, as he was the artist on George R. R. Martin’s Hedge Knight series, a spinoff story from the Song of Ice and Fire fantasy novel series.

It’s been a long time since Agents Scully and Mulder last delved into the mysterious world of the paranormal. Now they’re back with their second big screen excursion, The X-Files: I Want To Believe. Is the chemistry still there, and in the end do we believe? Well, no. Here’s my review, this time without significant spoilers.

It was a huge week for Marvel’s Secret Invasion storyline with no less than six tie-in comics released at the same time! Contributing to the crossover were New Avengers #43, Thunderbolts #122, Avengers: The Initiative #15, Secret Invasion: Skrulls!, She-Hulk #31, and New Warriors #14. With all those issues, the story had to have some huge developments, right? Well, not really. Here’s a look at what happened, how and to whom this past week in Secret Invasion.
