An Avenger Stands Trial in Civil War II #4
The new issue of Civil War II pushed the Avengers closer to all-out war.
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Civil War II #4!
This issue opens with She-Hulk finally waking from her coma and learning that Hawkeye killed her cousin (as seen in issue #3). But while she's none too happy about that piece of news, it seems the general public supports Hawkeye's preemptive killing of Bruce Banner. It's quickly revealed that Clint Barton was acquitted of the charge of murdering Banner.
Life Is Strange to Become Live-Action TV Show
Legendary Entertainment and Square Enix have partnered to create a live-action Life Is Strange TV show for digital streaming services.
The show will be produced in conjunction with dj2 Entertainment, which has also had a hand in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
With a deal only recently completed, it's unclear when the show will arrive, or even what it will be about.
In an interview with IGN, Life Is Strange co-creator, Michel Koch talks about how Square Enix went to Legendary looking to "expand the universe" of Life is Strange.
However, it's not clear as yet whether that means adapting the existing first game season's branching story into a single linear narrative, or if this will be a separate plot in the same location.

PlayStation 3 Launch Price a ‘Total Shock’ to Microsoft
While Microsoft wasn't surprised by Sony's decision to release PlayStation 3 a year after Xbox 360, the announcement of the console's $599 launch price came as a "total shock" to the company, according to former Chief Xbox Officer Robbie Bach.
"The single moment when I knew we had real upside was when they announced the pricing at E3," Bach said on the latest episode of IGN Unfiltered. "We knew their bill of materials was going to be too expensive but we thought they’d suck it up."
Bach recounted their reaction to Sony's announcement at E3 2006, adding, "Kaz
said the price and the room we were in went silent and I said, 'Did he really say what I think he said?'" After getting confirmation that what they heard was indeed correct, the former Xbox exec noted that many in the room said aloud: "Oh, this could be really fun."
StartUp: New Trailer and Poster
Launching Tuesday, September 6th on Crackle, StartUp is a new scripted drama series starring Martin Freeman (Fargo, Sherlock), Adam Brody (CHiPS, The O.C.), Edi Gathegi (The Blacklist, The Blacklist: Redemption) and Otmara Marrero (Graceland).
IGN's got your first look at StartUp's new extended trailer, along with the official key art for the series, which features Freeman as an FBI agent, Phil Rask, who crosses paths with Brody's smart financier, Nick Talman, in Miami - but it's not Talman that Rask is after, but his father.
Nick has a problematic relationship with his wealthy, irresponsible father, who disappears and forces Nick to stash his ill-gotten gain. Instead of going to the FBI, he decides to hide the money by investing in a tech startup pitched by the unorthodox Izzy Morales, a tech whiz out to change the world, played by Otmara Marrero. Gathegi also stars in the series as Ronald Dacey – second-in-command of the local Haitian gang. When Ronald discovers that the money he left with Nick’s father has vanished, Ronald moves on to the next best thing - his son. An unexpected partnership forms between Ronald, Nick and Izzy which culminates in a dangerous alliance that make them a target for Risk, who plans to take a journey to the very pit of darkness to take down the unsuspecting trio.
