Comic Book Video Game: "Spider-Man: Web of Shadows"
The Spider-Man: Web of Shadows video game will be coming out tomorrow (October 22).
The game will come in three versions, a full-3D action game for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Microsoft Windows, and Wii, a 2.5D sidescrolling action game for PlayStation Portable, and a 2.5D side-scroller for the Nintendo DS.
It looks like they've covered all the bases with this release.
GAME PREVIEW: "Spider-Man: Web of Shadows"
by Erik Amaya, Contributing Writer
“Spider-Man: Web of Shadows,” the new action game from Activision developed by Shaba / Treyarch and based on the Marvel Comics superhero, is scheduled for release October 22. Last week, CBR News got a hands-on first look at the game, which will be available on most console platforms, Nintendo DS and PC.
Like “The Incredible Hulk” released earlier this year as well as previous Spider-Man games, “Web of Shadows” continues the tradition of free-roaming action around an eight-square mile chunk of Manhattan. Missions are accessible at player’s discretion, and roaming mobs allow for a quick fight. Also, being a Spider-Man game, traveling around town is best accomplished with web slinging. Shaba’s mission statement in this game: take fluidity of motion and bring it to an action game.

Argent - DC Comics
Her first appearance was in the second series of the Teen Titans comics in issue #1.
She remained a regular member of that team until the events of Graduation Day when Nightwing disbanded the Titans.
Her powers are...well imagine a Green Lantern without needing the ring, and the creations aren't green, they're silver.
Argent made an appearance in Season 5 of the Teen Titans cartoon.
In the cartoon, Argent fired crimson energy beams which kinda blows the whole "Argent" thing but hey.

Angelic Bounty Hunter Angela
Angelic bounty hunter Angela is a character in Todd McFarlane's Spawn comic book series.
Even though Spawn was created by McFarlane, Angela was created for the series by Neil Gaiman. This (of course) later led to a legal battle between McFarlane and Gaiman over the rights to her.
Currently the rights to the character are split 50/50 between McFarlane and Gaiman.
Angela is an angel who acts opposite Spawn as a bounty hunter working for Heaven.
She attempted to kill Spawn the first time they met (in Spawn #9), but he managed to defeat her despite the fact that she had greater fighting experience.
Angela has made appearances in other Spawn projects including the 1997 Spawn live action movie (Played by Laura Stepp. During the business party, a woman in a green dress is seen, wearing earrings bearing the Spawn emblem). She also appeared in the animated HBO series Todd McFarlane's Spawn and the Shadows of Spawn manga series.
She also had her own 3 issue mini series, written by Neil Gaiman and appeared in her own one shot comic as well.
Besides Spawn, Angela has crossed over with Glory (she's kinda like Wonder Woman in the Image universe) and Aria (Kildare meets Angela in London at the end of the 19th century).
