1. Over at the Bumbleking Comics Forum, the good Mr. Flynn has updated with the cover and first few pages to preview the next issue of Archie’s Sonic the Hedgehog, featuring Shadow in the story “I Am:”

   The countdown to issue #175 continues! As Shadow and Dr. Robotnik’s personal war intensifies, could it bring an end to life as we know it? When Shadow steals classified information about himself from Dr. Robotnik, he enlists Sonic, Tails and Knuckles to help him crack the code. But is he really ready to learn who he truly is?! PLUS: “The Enforcers”: Without his son’s help, Knuckle’s father Locke is losing control of Angel Island. Will the help offered by a mysterious new benefactor be accepted by Locke? And if so, will it mean the end of Angel Island?

   SCRIPT: Ian Flynn. ART & COVER: Tracy Yardley (pencils) and Jim Amash (inks).

2. The TransFormers movie merchandise wagon continues to gather steam, as The Allspark reports on some Seibertron.com finds for new goods, including a plush Optimus Prime pillow, a Bumblebee MP3 player figure, and Mr. Potato Head as “Optimash Prime.”

   To keep up or check back on TransFormers movie-related news and data, you can go to The Allspark’s TransFormers: The Movie section, which includes the trailers, cast listings, and more.

3. Over at Newsarama, Paul Jenkins talks a little about Civil War: The Return, as well as the final New Avenger…
4. GameTrailers has a trailer for Garfield’s Nightmare, an amusing-looking platformer for the Nintendo DS.
5. And the saga of Jennifer Strange continues to unfold, as now the Sheriff’s Office of Sacramento County has opened investigation into the DJ’s, now that evidence has been disclosed that they were fully aware of the risks, and proceeded with their addle-brained scheme anyway.

   Guess what, Disc Jerkeys, being unemployed just became the least of your worries.

   Elsewhere, the winner of the Wii was interviewed.

6. Seems ol’ Billy G is quite happy with how the 360 is doing so far.

   I think “blasting” might be a bit overzealous a term to use regarding Nintendo, though not so much with Sony.

7. Go Nintendo reports that a mysterious sequel to a Nintendo game will be announced soon…
8. zOMG, the DS has been toppled in Japan!
9. A 9-year old boy hijacks a bunch of cars, sneaks onto an airline flight, and gets apprehended.

   You know what’s to blame, don’t you?

   That’s right!

   Video games!

   I swear, there is not a stick big enough to beat the stupid out of someone like this.

10. Damn.

    Just when I thought that Burnout couldn’t get any better… I find out that it probably can’t.

11. “Ziff Davis Undervalued, Unwanted”

    Guess people aren’t exactly lining up to buy. Maybe if they got rid of that one guy…

12. Once more, Jeremy Parish sticks it to the Virtual Console’s latest, and not without good reason.

    Except this isn’t even steak every night. Closer to ramen. I like ramen, but not in vast quantities per timescale.

13. Alright, Mario Party 8 videos!

    Er, I do hope this is online-enabled…
