Marvel Milestones Zombie Spider-Man & Mary Jane Statue
From the best-selling Marvel Zombies mini-series comes this horror-filled interpretation of what can only be called the wedding of the century! This nine-inch statue, based on the cover of Marvel Zombies #5, was sculpted by Rudy Garcia and is limited to 2,000 pieces each featuring a hand-numbered base with matching box and Certificate of Authenticity. - SRP $125.00
We’ll it took them long enough, but we’re finally seeing some Marvel Zombie merchandise on the shelves. The big rumor this week was that Marvel Select Toys was gonna do some action figures but it turns out we get a statue instead. Not quiet as cool, but at least it’s something.
Also in case you haven’t heard Marvel is doing a “Army of Darkness vs Marvel Zombies” mini series in March. Now that could be fun.

The guys who gave us “Shawn of the Dead” are bringing us a new movie..“Hot Fuzz”. The new trailer hit the web last week and it’s funny as hell.
Here’s a press release.
“Hot Fuzz is the action-packed new comedy from the makers of the hit movie Shaun of the Dead. With the same razor-sharp combination of humor and attention to detail they used to breathe new life into the undead, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have set their sights on Action Movies for their next uniquely funny vision.
Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the finest cop London has to offer, with an arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force. He’s so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel’s superiors send him to a place where his talents won’t be quite so embarrassing — the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford .
Once there, he is partnered with the well-meaning but overeager police officer Danny Butterman (Nick Frost). The son of amiable Police Chief Frank Butterman (Jim Broadbent), Danny is a huge action movie fan and believes his new big-city partner might just be a real-life “bad boy,” and his chance to experience the life of gunfights and car chases he so longs for. Angel is quick to dismiss this as childish fantasy and Danny’s puppy-like enthusiasm only adds to Angel’s growing frustration.
However, as a series of grisly accidents rocks the village, Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it seems and as the intrigue deepens, Danny’s dreams of explosive, high-octane, car-chasing, gunfighting, all-out action seem more and more like a reality.
It’s time for these small-town cops to break out some big-city justice.”
Okay it doesn’t sound that funny, but trust me it is. Check out the website and trailer
