A new chapter begins in the Transformers universe this month as IDW Publishing launches a regular, ongoing "Transformers" comic book series featuring Optimus Prime, Megatron and the rest of the robots in disguise.

The much-anticipated downloadable content pack for "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2" arrived late last week, and I couldn't resist posting this video of one of the new additions to the game's roster: the master of magnetism himself, Magneto.
