The New IMax Poster For ‘Venom’ Will Eat Your Soul
We’ve never seen a Marvel movie poster quite like this. Via Bloody Disgusting, this is the IMAX poster for Tom Hardy’s Venom and it does a damn good job of telling us in one image that this isn’t your daddy’s comic book menace.
Venom is, of course, the tale of a boy and his evil alien symbiote, and how they learn to get along and support each other through various hardships. Hardy plays the title character, who is a hapless reporter named Eddie Brock when he meets his pet alien creature.
The poster is the opposite of pretty much any Marvel production’s art. It’s a world away from any Avengers poster, for instance—those pretty much hold a stadium’s worth of superheroes most of the time.
Does that tell us something about the inner life of a man stricken with an affliction that gives him awesome super powers and a knack for eating bad guys’ heads? An alleged plot leak might lead us to a deeper understanding.
Or maybe this is just a cool movie about a man-monster with a horrific tongue and teeth rampaging through the city.
We’ll find out when Venom is in theaters on Oct. 5.

Behind the gorgeous new illustrated edition of Ursula K Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness
The Folio Society has released a number of stunning illustrated editions of science fiction and fantasy novels in recent years, from Neil Gaiman’s American Gods and Philip K. Dick’s A Scanner Darkly and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? to Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot. One of its latest offerings is a new edition of The Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula K. Le Guin’s classic sci-fi novel about a planet whose inhabitants have no fixed sex.
This isn’t the first time Le Guin — who died in January — has seen her work adapted in such a fashion. The Folio Society released a wonderful edition of her novel A Wizard of Earthsea a couple of years ago, and later this year, Saga Press will release an illustrated omnibus edition of the Earthsea saga.

Semblance resembles a platforming game until you start deforming the world
It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend.
Sometimes you just need to play a game that’s relaxing and comfortable. For me, that’s usually 2D platformer games, a byproduct of spending untold numbers of hours playing Super Mario World when I was younger. Even when I’m playing a new platforming game, it still manages to tap into the muscle memory I’ve built up over time; a new experience can still feel very familiar. Semblance is a bit like looking at something familiar upside down.
In Semblance, you control an unnamed little blob creature who is trying to fight off a…
