The Comedian is dead and Rorschach smells a rat...or is that squid? So begins the graphic novel that most believed could not be filmed. But thanks to Zack Snyder (or not) and a compromise reached by Fox and Warner, the movie hits screens this Friday.

U2 returns seeking more Beautiful Days at number one this week with No Line On The Horizon. Waiting in the wings are The Prodigy, who hope to start a fire with their first album in over four years. Tacoma, Washington-based Neko Case hopes to blow them both down with her album Middle Cyclone.

It's been nearly 4 years since we were teased by that Killzone 2 trailer at E3, but the PS3's exclusive is finally in stores. Putting up the good fight against it are the 360's Halo Wars and Star Ocean: The Last Hope, and the Wii's Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. Also available is 50 Cent's sequel Blood on the Sand.
