PTG Episode 122 is brought to you by Collider.com and Aintitcool.com. If you haven’t already, you should bookmark these sites, because they’re great sources of information on stuff we all know and love. After all, we have them to thank for providing the images of Thor and The First Avenger: Captain America concept art that’s sparked so much conversation on the web this past week, and that we spend a considerable part of this hour talking about. Our Thor-Captain America concept art poll on the Prime Time Geek Message Board is still active and waiting for your vote, so head over and voice your opinions, because we still want to hear them!

Also in this episode, we present our thoughts on Splice, the new sci-fi horror film from Vincenzo Natali (Cube), starring Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley. [NOTE: Throughout the broadcast I mistakenly refer to Natali as "Vincento"--sincere apologies for the error.] We daresay this is the BEST movie you’re not likely to see this summer, especially if you’re not a horror movie fan. The marketing for the film emphasizes the film’s horror movie elements because it has to–that’s really the only way to sell it in the summer movie marketplace. But trust us when we say that this is so much more than just a horror film or just a sci-fi film. Trust us when we say that you really need to see it for yourself.

We wrap up this hour with capsule reviews of three books released by DC Comics last week: Superman/Batman Annual #4 (Levitz, Guedes), Brightest Day #3 (Johns, Tomasi, Reis, Syaf), and Justice Society of America #39 (Willingham, Merino). Enjoy!
