For a long time now, Bendis’s New Avengers has been on the cutting block for me but I’ve never gone through with it.  Since the launch of the title, something’s never felt right but I always thought that the promise was there for something great.  I enjoy the first story, gloss over the whole Sentry [...]

My real knowledge of Doctor Who begins with Christoper Eccleston. I know the names of Tom Baker and… well, I know that there have been a lot of actors who have been Doctor Who in the last 40 years but my familiarity with the good Doctor right now starts with Eccleston and ends [...]

I’ve now read a couple of reviews for Brad Meltzer’s DC Universe: The Last Will and Testament and they all seem to have read a different book than I did.  The book is horrible, the story is a mess and the artwork isn’t good at all.  I was hoping for the Meltzer who wrote the [...]

This past spring, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Harrison Ford returned to the well, trying to recapture the magic of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The fedora was dusted off, the whip was oiled down and, to connect with the young kids, a younger, hipper hero was introduced in the form of Indiana Jones’s [...]

Ambush Bug Year None #2– Ambush Bug, Keith Giffen, Robert Loren Fleming.  Hopefully there will be a Thriller reference thrown into this issue.
DC Universe Last Will And Testament #1 — High melodrama written with painstaking detail.  At least that’s what I expect out of [...]

In Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds, Geoff Johns and George Pérez hit every note perfectly. From Superboy landing in 31st Century Smallville, to the ridiculously detailed Superman museum(in the future, every superhero will have their own museum,) to the inclusion of almost every alien race ever seen in a Legion of Super-Heroes comics [...]

Superman reboot happening on the big screen.
"'Had 'Superman' worked in 2006, we would have had a movie for Christmas of this year or 2009,' he adds. 'But now the plan is just to reintroduce Superman without regard to a Batman and Superman movie at all.'"

For me at least, there’s something still magical and mysterious about airports and airplanes. In most cases, taking a plane trip anywhere is such a hermetically sealed experience, where you enter at one point and basically give yourself over to a pilot and attendants until you’re ready to walk out at your final point.

The Hollywood pitch for Sleeper?
"Cruise is also considering taking on a DC comic book character in Sleeper, possibly with director Sam Raimi. He's an operative with alien powers who is impervious to pain."
Wow, if that's how they try to sell the movie, I can't imagine how disappointed people could end up being with it.

You know, not every comic needs a strong story to build itself upon. Sometimes a good concept is enough. Or maybe even just a great cover. Frank Frazetta’s Dracula Meets the Wolfman begins with a Frank Frazetta painting featuring the Wolfman and Count Dracula battling in the ruined remains of a once-regal [...]

Freedom Formula #1 is another one of those post-apocalyptic future stories where weapons of war have become entertainment for the upper classes while the lower classes spend their days struggling to survive. It’s Roller Ball with exo suits. In this story, mobile exo-suits that were designed for warfare have been converted to suits [...]
