One of the biggest comic crossover events that was not Universe wide is the Batman: No Man’s Land event that took place during 1999. Preceded by Batman: Cataclysm, the crossover took place in all the Bat-universe books, including the four monthly Batman titles — Detective Comics, Batman, Batman: Shadow of the Bat, and Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight — as well as the larger Batman family like Robin, Catwoman, and Nightwing.

Amazon Digital Deals: Indy 4, Incredible Hulk For $.99; Metallica’s Death Magnetic For $5
|
Amazon’s Black Friday Sale was pretty cool, I know I snagged myself a bunch of DVDs. And just so you know, the sale is still going on and will be for the next few days; some of the prices have gone up — still low, but not as low — so best to get your shopping done sooner than later it seems.
Anyhow, at the time of the Friday sale I was in such a DVD-buying frenzy that I didn’t even think to browse around the other sections. Now that I’m looking today, I see a few new Video On Demand titles for 99 cents!!! Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Incredible Hulk, and Get Smart (2008) are available for viewing right now on demand for only 99 cents.
I don’t typically look through the music section, as I already have a 30,000-song music library, so there’s usually nothing too new that I’d be on the lookout for. But, I did notice that Metallica‘s Death Magnetic is available as a $5 MP3 download. I have the album and totally love it, so if you don’t already own it, now is your chance to get it for only five bucks.

12 Of The Best Payback Moments in Film
|
There are plenty of movies about revenge — Sweeney Todd, Revenge of the Nerds, Mad Max, Death Wish, Kill Bill, every third or fourth movie in an action franchise, and most recently, Universal Pictures’ Wanted, which comes out on DVD this Tuesday, December 2. Then there are other films that contain specific moments of satisfaction-guaranteeing payback in them.
In the action-packed Wanted, James McAvoy stars as Wes, a meek office worker whose frequent anxiety attacks make it difficult for him stand up to his abusive boss, his backstabbing best friend, and cheating girlfriend. But Wes’s life is completely changed one day when he meets the sexy assassin Fox (Angelina Jolie), who takes him under her wing and into the Fraternity, an Order of assassins. The payback begins when Wes whacks a computer keyboard to his best friend’s face, sending the letters F.U.C.K.Y.O.U. flying into the air; it ends when Wes discovers the ultimate betrayal against him and enacts a vengeful plan that, let’s just say, involves explosives and lots of guns on those who wronged him.
To coincide with the release of Wanted and its badass moments of comeuppance, the Geeks of Doom gang got together to pool their favorite payback moments in film.
