    Oh yeah, Spider-Girl is set in high school and is completely self-contained.

    I don't know if it's any good, though.

    If you had any affection whatsoever for the Clone Saga era of Spider-Man, you'll probably love Spider-Girl, as it picks up on a lot of stuff from that era; Kain, Ben Reilly, Phil Urich, baby May obviously, and so on. On its own, it's not a bad book either. The writing feels a little old school, but if you enjoy the Marvel Adventures books you might like it.

    Not sure what "Previews" is, but the TPB List has a release calendar. Don't expect it to be 100%, but it seems to be updated reasonably regularly (once a month or so).

    Blue Beetle doesn't have very much high school drama. You could do worse if you're looking for a teen hero book though.

    Definitely check out Invincible and Grounded though. You can read both for free here.

    I wish I had known about Grounded when it was in singles
    I read it over the weekend and it was fabulous

    Didn't realize you weren't from the US
    It's put out by Diamond, so unless they do all the international distribution, too, you wouldn't have seen one
    But like the others said, it's a big book with previews for what's coming up 2 or 3 months down the line

    Parents Just Don't Understand (But Keith Does)

    I think it looks pretty good for a superhero film that isn't an adaptation, though I'm not convinced Will Smith can sell the character. Sleazy just seems far outside of his range.

    He deserves some credit for Bad Boys and Men In Black, at least.

    And I Am Legend supposedly sucks, but I heard his performance wasn't bad despite the weakness of the script.

    He played his role well and the only actual bad part was the ending, the alternate ending is better though. But the ending is the main weakness of the movie.

    Whoever you heard that from was an idiot. While the ending itself may have been kind of a letdown, the movie as a whole is excellent.

    It's all good. To be honest they may well have them here too, but I don't really go into a CBS, I get stuff from the inter-webs, so I still wouldn't have come across it.

    It does sound like something that would be well suited to online distribution though, given how often shit gets delayed and moved about.
