Who knew Shia LaBeouf was such a comic book beouf buff? And more importantly, who knew it was Free Comic Day this weekend?!

The Transformers actor celebrated the geeky holiday by promoting his first ever graphic novel, Stale N Mate, at a book signing in LA!

The comic follows a death row inmate who becomes the center of media attention when he demands one final cigarette before being put to death at a non-smoking prison.

Ok, so it's not exactly Superman, but we gotta give props to Shia for trying something new! Although we could probably make do without the cancer sticks! ICK!

Oh man, you guys!

After seven years of anticipation, we FINALLY know what Clive Owen's character in Sin City looked like before he had facial reconstruction surgery!

Here's a hint: it's A LOT like Josh Brolin!

That's right, fresh on the heels of the news that Joseph Gordon Levitt dropped out of The Guardians of the Galaxy casting race to secure himself a role in the long-awaited sequel to 2005 noir smash, A Dame To Kill For, the Gangster Squad star - who recently got himself into a little trouble with the law for public intoxication - has also joined the cast of the Robert Rodriguez adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel series as a younger version of Dwight!

For those of you unfamiliar with the first film, the character mentioned in the original film that he had recently gone under the knife to disguise himself from authorities, and as the vignettes that comprise these films tend to be non-linear and out of order, it makes sense that both actors will get to appear in the same role in the same movie!

As Rodriguez and Miller said in a statement:

Okay, so we have some bad news, folks!

But don't worry! We'll get it out of the way first, so we can get straight to the GOOD stuff!

Although we were super excited to hear that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was in the running for the role of Peter Quill in one of the new Marvel super-hero movies currently being developed, Guardians of the Galaxy, we're sad to report that the actor has bowed out of the casting race due to scheduling conflicts!

Oh, but what scheduling conflicts might THOSE be?!

Only the much-anticipated, long-awaited follow-up to Robert Rodriguez's Sin City, A Dame To Kill For!

That's right!

The super sexy actor will apparently be playing the role

This will be extremely EXCITING news for many…and absolutely HORRIFIC news for others…

We've just learned that DC Comics has plans to publish seven "comic-book mini-series," which will "continue the stories of the adventurers introduced in Watchmen, which was written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons."

The prequel series is being referred to as Before Watchmen, and it is scheduled to start up this summer.

This is a VERY controversial move by DC, because original Watchmen writer Alan Moore will not be involved, and he's referring to these prequel comics as "completely shameless."

Here's what Moore had to say about it:
