Note to TV executives: if you want to air a medieval fantasy show on premium cable, maybe don't premiere it the same weekend that "Game of Thrones" debuts.

Four new high-profile scripted cable series began last weekend -- Starz's "Camelot," Showtime's "The Borgias," AMC's "The Killing," and Reelz Channel's miniseries "The Kennedys" -- and all four came away with impressive ratings for their respective channels, a sign that HBO's "Game of Thrones" will likely premiere to huge numbers on April 17th.

Comics Alliance has posted an interview with Comic  book writer Fred Van Lente about his upcoming work for Marvel Comics, including Marvel Zombies 5, in which we get to see zombies from across the multiverse as Machine Man hunts down samples of their alternate-reality-brain-eating flesh.
