Except like a lot of original British drama on the BBC, you can’t really call its Shakespeare productions original. Except in the sense that Shakespeare was British and his stuff was original. Kind of. But, you know, Cumberbatch!

Have another clip from The Avengers: Age of Ultron
Marvel went and promised last week to unveil a trailer for The Avengers: Age of Ultron at the end of last night’s Agents of SHIELD. Except, oops, it went and leaked. So this week, rather than just air nothing, Marvel decided it would provide a nice little clip from the movie instead.
What do you think? Is it worthy?

Weekly Wonder Woman
Weekly Wonder Woman: Secret Origins #6, Sensation Comics #11, Smallville: Continuity #1-9
This week sees the last issue of Wonder Woman from Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang, the creative forces behind the character’s revamp for the nu52. However, before they go, they’ve one extra little ‘treat’ for Wonder Woman fans as part of the Secret Origins series of comics, revealing – in their own inimitable style – why Wonder Woman left Paradise Island. And as usual with those two, it was both the best of times and the worst of times.
Also out last week was Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman, which gave us a pleasing team-up between Diana and Big Barda against some intelligent gorillas and their robots. Monkey punching! Yay!
It’s a whole lot better than it sounds, I promise.
And lastly, Smallville: Continuity has apparently been including its Wonder Woman in the storyline for the past nine issues without telling me. Huh. So a brief recap of that story after the jump, too. See you in a minute!
