Not that I want any spoilers for the film, but it's funny how generic the description is.  Couldn't this apply to every Indy movie:

Yes, does seem to be pretty generic for sure, which I don't mind, as I like to stay spoiler free. I was looking at some Lego Indy pics yesterday, and had to hit the back button as I thought they revealed to much. Fortunately we only have to wait to May for the movie, so less chances of getting spoiled. I used to hate it with the Star Wars movies where it was a year or two of potential spoilers. I have been steering clear of a lot of Star Trek movie threads and sites as well, and still have a year to avoid those ;).

That is cool the comic is coming out, reminds me of my Brother when he was younger, he used to collect the Indy comic back in the 80's. I hope that after the movie comes out they start producing more comics or stories like they do for Star Trek and Star Wars.
