Comics
Some original Alex Ross Captain America art has shown up on a food blog, of all places. There's also evidence that Steve Rogers now prefers bialys to bagels. More at Bon Appetit.

The 24 comic has sold out of its first printing, totaling more than 12,000 orders. More at Bleeding Cool.

Already at 500,000 orders, Marvel keeps stacking up with The Amazing Spider-Man #1. Now, the complete first issue of Inhumans #1 will also be in the issue. More at CBR.

March sales have been released by Diamond Comics Distributors. DC Comics nabbed the top 4 single issue spots, something that hasn't happened in a long time, while Marvel took the overall market share. The Walking Dead continues to dominate the trade section (but Stray Bullets: Uber Alles Edition sneaked into the top 10!). More at Diamond Comics.

Video Games
Xbox is serious about getting into the streaming business. Microsoft has announced six series to debut on their Xbox consoles that will use interactive elements for viewers. More at Bloomberg.

Film
Captain America: The Winter Soldier broke records for the highest debut April release, drawing in $95 million this weekend. More at Box Office Mojo.
Star Wars Episode VII has already started filming according to Disney's Alan Horn. Unconfirmed rumours based on a recent convention cancellation also suggest Peter Mayhew will be reprising his role as Chewbacca. More at The Hollywood Reporter.

An extended trailer for Godzilla has popped up, featuring more scared Bryan Cranston, monster. Watch it below:




Television
Orphan Black has released a new trailer for its upcoming second season. Seriously, start watching it. More on Youtube.

Syfy has bumped their 12 Monkeys TV show up to a full 12 episode order  before the pilot has even aired. Based on the Terry Gilliam film, the show will debut next January, presumably with one monkey featured each episode. More at IGN.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is releasing posters for each of their remaining 6 episodes this season. Together, the posters will be called "The Art of Level Seven" and feature artwork from popular comic artists. More at Entertainment Weekly.

The next show by Lost's Damon Lindelof, The Leftovers, has dropped a teaser trailer. The show is about, well, the leftovers of a rapture and presumably a lot of upset mothers of small children. More on Youtube.

People disappointed by the ending of How I Met Your Mother will be treated to an alternate ending in the complete series DVD set. More at Deadline.
