Marvel First Looks -- and much more!!!

300 IMAGES

Warner Bros. on Wednesday released 46 images from 300, the film based on Frank Miller's graphic novel due in theaters on March 9.

Here's how Warner Bros. describes the film:

"300 is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Miller's acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale."

THE BOYS AT DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT

Dynamite Entertainment's Nick Barrucci told The Continuum that The Boys, the former DC Comics/WildStorm series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, will now be published by Dynamite.

"We are putting together our plans, and will give more information as soon as possible," Barrucci told The Continuum. " In addition to Garth and Darick, I would like to thank DC Comics and everyone at Wildstorm Comics who helped to make the transition a smooth one for Garth and Darick. I also want to thank the fans who so vocally made their support known over the last few weeks and I ask them to stay tuned for news on the continuation.

"I promise it will be worth the wait, as Garth and Darick continue to deliver their vision of The Boys."

WildStorm's final issue was The Boys #6.

DC TO PRODUCE WORLD OF WARCRAFT ACTION FIGURES

DC Unlimited, the new brand launched by DC Comics to license and promote pop culture characters and stories, on Wednesday announced the release of a line of action figures based on World of Warcraft, the popular Blizzard Entertainment Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG).

The collectibles will be unveiled next month at New York's American International Toy Fair and will be distributed worldwide in both mass market and specialty channels.

The Warcraft franchise has remained the world's largest-selling strategy video game with more than 19 million copies sold. With more than 7.5 million subscribers worldwide, the game creates a unique and interactive environment, allowing for thousands of simultaneous player adventures. World of Warcraft has also been America's top-selling PC game since its release in November 2004.

"Blizzard has created an impressive and interactive universe for World of Warcraft," said Cheryl Rubin, Senior Vice President - Brand Management at DC Comics. "We are proud to be able to deliver DC Direct's expertise in creating and distributing authentic collectibles to World of Warcraft under our new DC Unlimited brand. "

DC Unlimited's World of Warcraft collectibles will include PVC vinyl, scaled and articulated figures varying in size. The initial launch will feature a four-figure assortment of 5-8-inch figures, with an additional two-figure set of two 10-12-inch deluxe figures covering the larger characters.

The initial set of figures will include a Blood Elf Rogue, Orc Shaman, Undead Warlock and Dwarf Warrior. The deluxe figures will include a Draenei Paladin and Illidan Stormrage. The first wave of figures will reach stores in the fall.
