SPIDER-MAN 3 TRAILER
The new trailer for Spider-Man 3 was released via Viacom outlets on Thursday night.

BRIEFLY
* Marvel Comics has released Gary Frank's cover to Incredible Hulk #106, which will tie into the World War Hulk mini-series by Greg Pak and John Romita Jr.
"When the World War Hulk miniseries begins in May 2007, the pages of the ongoing Incredible Hulk series will set up certain elements of World War Hulk and show how the events of WWH tear through the lives of the Hulk and his friends," Pak said.
Frank takes over Incredible Hulk with #106.
"Gary Frank is a living legend -- I'm thrilled to have the chance to work with him," Pak said. "He did an amazing job with the 'Planet Cho' Civil War tie-in story in Incredible Hulk #100 and is knocking the ball out of the park with the guest-artist pages he's doing for Incredible Hulk #101 as well. I can't wait to see what he does with the book when he takes over with #106. Just one small hint--the 'Planet Cho' backup story in Incredible Hulk #100 sets up some of the dynamics we'll explore in Incredible Hulk #106-#108.
"Also, Incredible Hulk #108 is where the aftermath of World War Hulk will play out--with huge ramifications for the future of our hero and everyone around him."
* The final arc of Y: The Last Man begins with #55.
* The Sire #2 Black Variant Edition will be available for the first time this weekend at Wizard World Texas.
