Yet another trailer for Man of Steel. This one offers a brief reprive from the wackness of the Zod Facetime viral and claws back some of the Terrence Mallick vibe from the teaser ...but this tenpole's on thin ice.

Promo Promo: Grim Towers - Reign Down / Lighting Dust - Diamond
Been hoping there would be some new Black Mountain Army activiity soon - and look - here's two side projects on the horizon... Grim Tower finds Stephen McBean on a freaky "New Acoustic Death Folk" trip in the snow with Imaad Wasif. Album Anarchic Breezes is out May 21. "Let the free ride the breeze"? Right on, snow bros. Meanwhile Black Mountain's mellower wing Lightning Dust (Amber Webber and Josh Wells) are heading into Fleetwood Mac territory with Diamond, the first one from their new album Fantasy - out June 25. Various pre-order download options available. Should just about tide us over while we wait for a new Stormy High to finish off the giant mecha-smackdown playlist.

RIP: Carmine Infantino (1925-2013)
Good obit over on @AICN for the DC comics artist.
“There are few people in this world that have had as much of an impact on the industry as Carmine,” added DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan DiDio. “He bridged both the Golden and Silver Ages of comics, shepherding in some of the most successful periods in our history and setting the course of our characters that is still seen today. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will remain forever.”

False False Identity
Reading like a comment from @AdamBuxton's BUG show, I noticed this stickie tucked amongst the meticulously created false identies on one of the iPads in the Apple shop. It and must have taken the confused author quite a while to type out, unless it is sort of Apple strategy to appease the worries of potential buyers who weren't sure YOU HAVE TO PAY. MEAN SWOP PLUS PAY EXTRA.

The Private Eye
Interesting looking pay-what-you-like digital comic from Brian K Vaughan (author of the very enjoyable series Y: The Last Man and Ex Machina) and Marvel artist Marcos Martin.
Welcome to Panel Syndicate, where artist Marcos Martin and writer Brian K. Vaughan deliver original comics directly to readers around the world, who pay whatever the hell they want for each DRM-free issue. Our first new storyline is THE PRIVATE EYE, a forward-looking mystery we created with colorist Muntsa Vicente. Set in a future where privacy is considered a sacred right and everyone has a secret identity, The Private Eye is a serialized sci-fi detective story for mature readers. You can download our 32-page first issue right now, for any price you think is fair. 100% of your payments go directly into our greedy mitts and will help fund the rest of a story that we're both very proud of (we hope there will be around 10 issues total; an old-school "maxiseries!"), so thanks for reading...
