Expect more of these after Comic Con but until then here's a small morsel for you to chew on.
* Who is Masked Man?? Ok so we know there's a fake Daredevil running around Hell's Kitchen and showing up in Civil War. The big question is who is this new Daredevil. Here's are the following rumored names going around, Iron Fist, Hawkeye, Shang Chi, Nick Fury, Ben Reily, and Bullseye. My money has been on Iron Fist since day one.
* DC will be rolling out a new solo series starring a female character who makes her first appearance in "52" and it's not Batwoman. Let the speculation begin.
* The new justice League is going to be around 11 heroes strong and lots of names are floating around. One name that keeps coming up for the JLA is Nightwing. It would be tough for him to be apart of the JLA, Outsiders and JSA if you ask me. Then again it's just a crazy ass rumor.

News You Already Know
The big Comic Con is right around the corner and yours truly will not be attending because im stuck in Mass. I also won't have 24/7 coverage because I'll busy doing something else and you can get that Newsrama.com. If you're too lazy to go there and read all the great coverage they're going to have then you can wait for my Half Ass Coverage later in the week. Now let's move on to News You Already Know.....
* Aquaman is not cool. Green Arrow is very cool though. In the upcoming season of Smallville not only are we going to see Jimmy Olsen, but Oliver Queen is coming to town too. The actor playing Ollie will be Justin Hartley. Justin was cast as Aquaman in the pilot episode of Mercy Reef. Mercy Reef did not get picked up by the WC but I'm sure you can find a bootleg of it at Comic Con.
* Multiple sites are reporting that casting for Silver Surfer has been made. Sorry Wylde Stallion fans its not the chosen One. Instead it's being reported that Doug Jones will be motion-capture actor used for Silver Surfer. Doug Jones also played Abe Sapien in Hell Boy.
* The return of pizza power. Hey is everyone gonna go see "The Ant Bully"? What if I told you the teaser trailer for TMNT was going to attached to it? No? You say you're just gonna wait for it to show up on You Tube? Well played my friend, well played.
* The deal is final with New Line Cinema and DC. This October expect to see "Nightmare on El Street", "Friday the 13th", and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" books being published by DC. In other words stop buying the ones put out by Avatar. Those will be in a quarter bin very soon.
* Oni will be publishing a "My Name is Earl" comic book. You'll be able to find this book right next to those Avatar horror books for a quarter very soon.
* Brian K Vaughn will be doing a new Dr.Strange book with artist Marcos Martin, Alvaro Lopez, and Javier Rodriguez. Newsrama.com has a 3 page preview that has me sold on it. Make sure your local comic store is going to stock up on this one.

Movies Making Money
A new feature here at Cee Diddy Holla is a lil thing we like to call Movies Making Money. Here's an update on whats making cash in theaters.
* Pirates of the Caribbean dominated again. Total gross to date 258 million with a budget of 225 million. It made its money back in two weeks.
*Superman Returns had a huge drop this week. 47% drop to be exact. So far Supes has made 163 million domestic and 35 million foreign. The budget for that indy pic was only 260 million. Warner Brothers still have a chance of making their money back before the DVD release but it's going to be close.
*Next week we'll have updates on Pirates and Superman, and the weekend numbers for Clerks 2.
