Hasbro Unveils ‘Thunderbolts,’ ‘G.I. Joe Vs. Transformers,’ And More SDCC 2013 Exclusives By Caleb Goellner Maybe I’m biased having spent the better part of sixth grade painting spare Spider-Man toys to look like Citizen V, but having seen USA Today’s reveal of Hasbro’s San Diego Comic-Con 2013 exclusives all I can really think is, “It’s about dadburn time we got some Thunderbolts action figures.” On top of the Thunderbolts Marvel Legends box set, which packs 6” tall Kev Walker style Luke Cage, Ghost, Crossbones, Judith Chambers and Moonstone figures in a Thunderbolts Tower case, Hasbro will also be offering a new G.I. Joe and the Transformers set, a Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett with Han Solo in Carbonite, a new Jem fashion doll and a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic DJ Pon figure. Hasbro will likely have a few more items to debut before SDCC kicks off in July (along with a way for fans to preorder/potentially buy unsold extras), but you can check out this current crop of upcoming exclusives in preparation for a potential spending spree, on COMICSALLIANCE!

Patton Oswalt’s Epic ‘Star Wars’ Rant On ‘Parks and Recreation’

By Joseph Hughes

Parks and Recreation, a show about politics in a small U.S. town, often finds clever ways to parody various topical issues taking place in Washington D.C. Tomorrow’s episode is no different, as this time they’re taking a shot at much debated filibuster reform, and they’ve enlisted the help of Patton Oswalt to do so. Oswalt, playing the role of one of Pawnee’s many insane passionate citizens, goes on a completely improvised nerd rant in which he recites what he believes should be the plot of the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII, including an aging Luke, Han and Leia crossing over into the Marvel film universe as they team up with the Avengers, Spider-Man, the X-Men and more to take on Thanos. Not all of the Avengers make it into Oswalt’s cut, as he’s replaced “second tier” characters Hawkeye and Black Widow with noted Marvel A-lister Moon Knight. Naturally.

You can see the full video above, and while this is obviously meant to be a joke, let us all pray to our respective deity’s that no executive at Disney ever hears this proposal.
