The actor, who changed his birth name Coppola to Cage as a tribute to Marvel Comics’ Luke Cage, has often spoken candidly about his love of graphic novels and comics.

I don't know how many fellow closet comic book fans are out there (or not so closet, if you're ready to embrace your geekdom), but I seriously just found one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. Directed by my beloved's blog, I discovered this beautiful piece called "Alphabets of Desire." Written by the amazing Alan Moore and signed by him and Todd Klein, one of the greatest letterers in the business, it's an amazing addition to any collection and...it's only $20!

Here is a panel that has to deal with their toughest crowd- their biggest fans. When you adapt a comic book it's a bit different than adapting a well loved book or TV show. Comic book fans are critical, unforgiving, vicious, and represent one of the most prominent voices on the internet.

Okay, I'll admit, I go to Comic-Cons. But, to be fair, they're really fun and generally more about upcoming movies than comic books. And after all, that is my industry, and whenever I go I catch up with old friends from the studios I've worked with in the past.

Seemingly overnight, Robert Pattinson went from playing Voldemort's roadkill in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to being the immortal half of one of the hottest screen couples of all time. He spoke with TIME about how he landed the role of Twilight's Byronic vampire Edward Cullen, what it's like to be a generational crush and how to walk unmolested along the streets of Vancouver.You took on an edgy vampire movie and it's become this. Did you know what you were signing up for?I had no idea it was going to be like this.

This is one of the old comic books that I actually never read or followed, which is I guess why I waited for this movie to come out of theaters to see it. The movie is about Johnny Blaze (Nicholas Cage) and what happens when he sells his soul to the Devil. There's lots of back-story behind the legend of the Ghost Rider and more on Johnny Blaze's life and why he does what he does.

For any lovers of the Archie comic books - there is a great article in this month's issue of Vanity Fair about Archie's 65 year history. 65 years can you even believe it? Long before most of us here on Pop were born, Archie was already trying to decide between Betty and Veronica.
