OK, we don't really see much of Khaleesi Danaerys Targaryen's three dragons still we get a hint of how big they are now in the new trailer for Game of Thrones season 4.

The Brazilian and Spanish Cover Art for "A Song of Fire and Ice" aka Game of Thrones Books

Quick clarification, the official name of the series written by George R.R. Martin's work is "A Song of Ice and Fire". 'A Game of Thrones' was book 1 in the series. When HBO picked up the series, they dropped 'A' from the title and established this new brand.

Jon Snow and Ghost and behind them, the Wall

So here we go. The first batch is from the Brazilian version of the cover art.

Now here comes the Spanish cover art which is equally outstanding...











And now the real challenge. Could you figure out which cover goes to which book? And just to jot your memory the books that are currently out are:

A Game of Thrones (1996)
A Clash of Kings (1998)
A Storm of Swords (2000)
A Feast for Crows (2005)
A Dance with Dragons (2011)

Thor: The Dark World MAJOR SPOILER

IGN is talking about the Thor: The Dark World sizzle reel which was screened during this year's SDCC 2013 and how it does not bode well for the Avengers' resident God of Thunder. 

So according to the report, the final leg of the reel showed Loki (Tom Hiddleston) chopping off Thor's right hand while his hammer, Mjolnir flies towards his direction. 

And if you think that's bad, lead star Chris Hemsworth is telling people that the whole right hand missing is only a fraction of what he has to worry about. Also you know what's funny, is that Alan Taylor is also a director for the wildly popular "GAME OF THRONES' where the blonde, lead guy (Jamie Lannister) also got his hand chopped off for political reasons.

Toothless and Hiccup Soar Once Again in How to Train Your Dragon 2 Trailer

The recent release of DreamWorks Animation’s “How To Train Your Dragon 2” trailer thrilled fans worldwide as the faithful dragon Toothless and his best friend Hiccup soared on air once again. View latest trailer here.

At the tail of the success of the first movie, Toothless and Hiccup are back for bigger adventures, laughs and battles as additional voice cast were revealed in this year’s Comic-Con event. From the phenomenal series “Game of Thrones,” Kit Harrington voices an amusing dragon-trapper named Eret whom he describes as very cocky and brazen; Cate Blanchett who’s known for her role in “The Lord of the Rings” franchise also joins the cast as Valka, a savior of dragons while Djimon Hounsou (“Blood Diamond”) is cast as the voice of Drago Bludvist who chases dragons for personal vendetta.

Directed by Dean Deblois, “How To Train Your Dragon” soars five years after best friends Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) and Toothless united dragons and Vikings on the island of Berk. DeBlois shared that the film starts where the first one left off – the Vikings are now on the backs of the dragons with the entire world in front of them. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.




Landing June 2014 in theaters, “How To Train Your Dragon 2” is a DreamWorks Animation and 20th Century Fox presentation to be distributed by Warner Bros. (Phils.).

George R R Martin's Real Vision for the Iron Throne

A Song of Fire and Ice writer George R.R. Martin is back to blogging on his Livejournal account and his new post focuses on an integral part of his books' mythos, the Iron Throne. 

Here's an excerpt from his livejournal blog:

"The HBO throne has become iconic. And well it might. It's a terrific design, and it has served the show very well. There are replicas and paperweights of it in three different sizes. Everyone knows it. I love it. I have all those replicas right here, sitting on my shelves.

And yet, and yet... it's still not right. It's not the Iron Throne I see when I'm working on THE WINDS OF WINTER. It's not the Iron Throne I want my readers to see. The way the throne is described in the books... HUGE, hulking, black and twisted, with the steep iron stairs in front, the high seat from which the king looks DOWN on everyone in the court... my throne is a hunched beast looming over the throne room, ugly and assymetric...

The HBO throne is none of those things. It's big, yes, but not nearly as big as the one described in the novels. And for good reason. We have a huge throne room set in Belfast, but not nearly huge enough to hold the Iron Throne as I painted it. For that we'd need something much bigger, more like the interior of St. Paul's Cathedral or Westminster Abbey, and no set has that much room. The Book Version of the Iron Throne would not even fit through the doors of the Paint Hall.

So what does the Real Iron Throne look like, you ask? Glad you asked. It looks kind of like this:"

I totally agree with the writer's thoughts. The iron throne after all is made out of the melted swords of the former kings and warriors of the Targaryens. A small throne just doesn't cut it. A huge pile of swords welded together with dragonfire that serves as a throne is fitting for the most powerful political figure in all of Westeros. I loved that comment about kings or at the very least people seated on the Iron Throne are supposed to look down at the subjects. Very bad ass.

Game Of Thrones Season 4 Finds Oberyn Martell aka The Red Viper

More new characters will be joining the cast of HBO's "Game of Thrones" when it returns next season. First in the list of new additions is the Red Viper aka Oberyn Martell which was nabbed by Chilean actor Pedro Pascal.

“This was a tough one,” say showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss about the casting. “The Red Viper is sexy and charming, yet believably dangerous; intensely likable, yet driven by hate. The boys love him, the girls love him, and he loves them all back. Unless your last name is Lannister. We found a fellow who can handle the job description and make it seem effortless. He wasn’t easy to find and he won’t be easy to stop.”

As for me, I'm just waiting for that epic fight between Martell and Sandor Clegane (The Mountain), a personal fight for the viper as it was the bigger Clegane brother who ***SPOILER ALERT**** 

... killed and raped Elia Martell (Oberyn's sister) during the "Sack of King's Landing ...

Anne Rice and Mike S Miller Funding a Jesus OGN

Anne Rice ditches Lestat the Vampire in favor of our one true savior Jesus Christ.

Catchy enough? Well, in essence this is what the bookselling author is doing through a new Kickstarter project. She's even teamed up with artist Mike S. Miller (who did amazing work in the comic book tie-in for "Injustice: Gods Among Us", as well as the awesome covers for the Game of Thrones comic book adaptation). The new book is entitled "Christ The Lord: The Road to Cana"

Here's the Press Release text from Kickstarter and Anne Rice herself:

"A graphic novel adaptation of Anne Rice's novel about the life of Jesus Christ. Lovingly adapted by Anne Elizabeth “Pulse of Power” and illustrated by Mike S. Miller, artist of the #1 selling digital comic around the globe, DC Comic’s “Injustice: Gods Among Us” and cover artist for George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones.

The story...

In 2008, prolific author Anne Rice released the second book in what would be her most personal project to date, a proposed series depicting the life of Jesus Christ.

From Anne Rice:

"Though well researched in every historical respect, these novels seek to bring to life for the reader Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, and the God who loved us so much that He came to live amongst us for over thirty years before He died for our salvation on the Cross, and rose from the dead.

I offer these novels to all Christians. And I offer them to all those who have ever enjoyed or valued my earlier books. Please understand: they are fiction, but they are fiction that seeks to bring the reader closer to the Lord in whom my life belongs. You will find no watering down of the gospels in these novels. You will find no modern twists. I am a believer in every word of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

I also believe in Christian art --- that we can paint pictures, write music, create great films, and write novels about Jesus and that these efforts can serve Our Blessed Lord.
If these novels of mine do not serve Him, if they are not for Him, then they are worthless.

This is my vocation; this is my life; this is the way in which I hope to render unto God a series of books that honors Him as Our Maker and as Our Savior. I am grateful to all of you who are willing to read these books."

There's also a miniposter up for grabs (which is pretty cool)...

For more details plus the prices you can check out the project's Kickstarter page HERE. Also if you want to read more about the project (plus a simmering debate about artist Mike S. Miller) check out Bleedingcool post.

Major applause on this one. I'm actually thinking of making a pledge myself just to help out. Then probably contact somebody from CCF and give this to them or whatever.

Being that Game of Thrones season 3 will be coming out this month, here's a refresher chart for those who've already forgotten who's who and what's their connection with each other. 

Hopefully by the end of this post, you'll remember your Lannisters from your Starks, differentiate your Greyjoys with your Baratheons and know the wildlings and the Targaryens. 

New Photos from the Set of Game of Thrones Season 3

Here's a look at the set of Game of Thrones season 3 featuring the beautiful Emilia Clarke and Kit Harrington playing Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow respectively.

Now I'm wondering why the Mother of Dragons has an army behind her and I remember that this part of "A Song of Fire and Ice" will follow the growth of the Targaryen Khalasar. Meanwhile Snow's still going to held captive by the wildlings from outside of the wall while the White Walkers have begun to amassed outside of the wall.

Bullet to the Head Q&A with Jason Momoa of Game of Thrones
