Win an Amazing Spider-Man Cap! [Contest]

I've got three Amazing Spider-Man caps to give away, courtesy of the lovely people at New Era Cap Co. (I checked, they're really lovely, not like those trolls at Ed Hardy).
 
It's the headwear of choice for Spidey fans, and it will turn heads - pun not intended - when you wear them to see ASM in theaters July 3. So, here's how to enter:
 
Leave me a comment below, telling me your favorite Spider-Man story, and why. It's all fair game - Spider-Man stories from the decades of classic comics, films, animated or live action TV, the newspaper strip, prose novels, whatever. Tell me the story, tell me why it matters to you, and my favorite 3 picks get the caps.
 
Act fast, because the caps won't last and I want to get them out to the post office today in the hopes that they reach you ASAP.
 
And now, the fine print:
 

Winners must be located in the U.S., no APO addresses or PO boxes.

By entering the sweepstakes, entrants agree to release and indemnify New Era Cap Co., Inc. and its agents, successors, assigns, employees, officers and directors from any and all liability whatsoever arising out of or in connection with the sweepstakes.

Good luck!

'Avengers' Blu-Ray Trailer

With The Avengers continuing to dominate at the box office, Disney has released this trailer for the film's September 25 Blu-ray release, which might just live up to its promise of being "the biggest Blu-ray event of all time." It certainly will rank pretty high in my collection, so there's that. Also, rumor has it that it will feature deleted scenes, commentary, featurettes, and of course a Marvel One-Shot short or two.

For hardcore fans, The Avengers Blu-ray will also be included on the 10-disc Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One - Avengers Assembled Collector's Edition.

'Amazing Spider-Man' IMAX Poster

This actually looks pretty sweet. This IMAX poster for The Amazing Spider-Man is quite possibly the coolest looking piece of promotional artwork I've seen for the movie yet.

Oh, and apparently if you show up for a 12:01 screening on July 3, you'll be walking away with one of these bad boys.

'Amazing Spider-Man' Game Launch Trailer

The Amazing Spider-Man game launches today, and based on this launch trailer it looks pretty awesome. I'll definitely be picking it up, if you do too be sure to let me know what you think of it!

If your spider-senses are tinglin', it's because The Amazing Spider-Man™ video game has web-slung its way onto retail store shelves today in North America, and will be available in Europe on June 29th. From Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (ATVI), and Marvel Entertainment, The Amazing Spider-Man video game serves as an epilogue story to this summer's upcoming blockbuster feature film, heralding Spidey's return to a free-roaming Manhattan as players take the role of a young Peter Parker discovering his newfound powers and Super Hero responsibilities. The Amazing Spider-Man video game is available on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, the Wii™ system from Nintendo, Nintendo 3DS™ and Nintendo DS™ handheld systems.

"Dee Brown and his team at Beenox have completely revamped The Amazing Spider-Man's proprietary game engine to deliver a fresh, innovative gameplay experience for the fans," said David Oxford, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Activision Publishing, Inc. "With the adrenaline rush from just swinging through the city and the new zoomed-in camera angle opening up a whole new perspective in realistic detail, The Amazing Spider-Man allows gamers to BE Spider-Man like never before."

Go beyond Sony Picture Entertainment's Columbia Pictures' feature film and find out what happens next in The Amazing Spider-Man video game. Set against an original story crafted by Hollywood writer Seamus Kevin Fahey (Spartacus: Vengeance, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, Battlestar Galactica) that picks up immediately after the events of the movie, The Amazing Spider-Man video game delivers a brand-new, immersive and cinematic adventure allowing fans to truly harness the power of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Players will experience numerous choices in navigation and combat with the debut of the innovative Web Rush gameplay mechanic, pushing Spider-Man's abilities to the limit against classic Marvel villains that are re-imagined exclusively for the game, such as Scorpion, Felicia Hardy, Rhino, Iguana and more.

"The Amazing Spider-Man video game is the ultimate fan tribute to Spider-Man and Manhattan," said Andreea Enache-Thune, SVP, Games & Digital Distribution, Marvel Entertainment. "We're thrilled with all of the content and collectibles Activision and Beenox have packed into the game's free-roaming Manhattan setting, and we can't wait for fans to web-swing around the city and start saving the world."

The Amazing Spider-Man video game also features fan-favorite talent, including Evil Dead and Burn Notice's Bruce Campbell taking the role of an "extreme action" reporter who provides death-defying challenges that only Spider-Man can accomplish. And for fans that pre-ordered the game from Amazon, Stan Lee himself is available as a playable character for the first time ever.

Developed by Beenox for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 system, Wii and Nintendo 3DS, The Amazing Spider-Man is rated "T" (Teen – content that may be suitable for ages 13 and older) by the ESRB. The Nintendo 3DS edition features several unique mini-games that use its touch-screen abilities, including the exclusive Vigilante Mode using StreetPass™. Additionally, Beenox is working on a Windows PC version of the game planned to launch August 10, 2012, which will be available on Steam and integrated with Steam achievements. The Nintendo DS version of the game was created by developer Other Ocean, is rated E10+ (Everyone 10 and older – content that may be suitable for ages 10 and older) by the ESRB, and follows the exact same storyline in an entirely different platforming adventure.

'Amazing Spider-Man' Mobile Game Prologue Video

The mobile gaming geniuses from Gameloft are back with another Spider-Man game. They're adapting The Amazing Spider-Man into an iOS and Android game that, based on this prologue video, looks super sweet. This right here is an example of why I splurged for the new, retina iPad.

New 'Dark Knight Rises' Trailer

It's another new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, packed with lots of action, quite a few hints of what to expect, and lots of Bane showing off how well he can handle himself in a plane crash. Also Batman still has that big-ass gun and flying car, which I expect should trump Bane's steroid addiction when it comes time for the final battle.

Here's the 'Amazing Spider-Man' Clip Being Sold at Wal-Mart

Granted, the version you can buy at the store comes with a reprint of Amazing Spider-Man #6, and probably you could buy a gun with terrifyingly little oversite while at your local Wal-Mart. But if you just want to see Spidey take out a carjacker and Denis Leary playing Captain Stacy with a dash of early '90s MTV attitude, then you need go no further to check out this clip of The Amazing Spider-Man.
