Marvel, in an attempt to re-affirm that they’re going to be doing the Hulk right this time had a pretty big showing for The Incredible Hulk at Comi-Con this year, despite having only been filming the movie for 2 weeks. Edward Norton and Liv Tyler both appeared on the Marvel Films panel and discussed […]

Another video from the San Diego Comicon.  This time its of the upcoming big-budget Iron Man film.  The quality isn’t great since its from a camcorder, but it’s more than enough to get me excited.  I’m really starting to dig Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and man, the proto armor looks pretty tight.  I’ve […]

The San Diego Comicon has been pretty good, so far.  Entertainment News International has promotional clips for both Transformers Animated and The Spectacular Spider-Man.  Both look exceptionally good, to me.
Transformers Animated has me hyped the most.  The animation for the show is being done by Mook Studios, better known for their work on Swat Kats and […]

From the “360 Heroes Experience” to the Origins episodes we’ll be expecting next year, Heroes has done some amazing things when it comes to keeping their viewers interested in the show during downtimes.  One of the methods I’ve been following pretty closely (and recapping weekly over on TV Jab) is the Online Novel, which does […]

In anticipation, and to help promote, the next installment in the Indiana Jones franchise, production of Indiana Jones comics are kicking back into high gear, with a slew of books coming our way in 2008.
It looks like 2008 is going to be the year of Indy, and I can’t wait to see if “old Indy” […]

StarLord #1(of 5)

This StarLord mini-series may be a part of the larger Annihilation: Conquest storyline, but it is a stand alone read that you can enjoy without following the entire Annihilation saga.
This first issue serves to […]

Fantastic Five #1 (Marvel)
by Defalco/Lim/Koblish
Everyone sit up and pay attention. This is how the Fantastic Four is supposed to be written. This one of the best Fantastic Four stories to come out in a very long […]

The 4th of July, in the US, is a time of reflection. This year it is also a time of mourning for Marvel fans….because this is the year Captain America died. In fact, he’s being buried this week. Thinking of Cap reminds me of all the great Patriotic superheroes we have in comics. […]

This new image features “villains” of the DCU, although several of them have been, or are currently heroes. Martian Manhunter, Catwoman, and two of the 3 Supermen in the image are all, or have all been, heroes at one point. The Kingdom Come Superman, for example, has always been a hero, and has […]

Fantastic Four #546 - I can see the conversation now….”Hey guys, we need the Silver Surfer and Galactus in Fantastic Four when the movie comes out.” the editor says.
“Ok, does the story have to be any good?”
“No, not really.”
This book features the Silver Surfer, Galactus, has a huge cosmic feel to it, and what is […]

It is very rare for a comic book to give one “chills”…but Silver Surfer Requiem is a very rare comic book.
I do not believe, in the character’s entire history, that the Silver Surfer has ever been handled better by a creative team than the work that Michael J. Straczynski and Ribic have done with this […]

Pulp. Robots. Tesla. I’m there.
New comic book start-up, Red 5 Comics is launching this October with Atomic Robo, a sci-fi pulp inspired 6 issue mini-series. The series is created by Brian Clevinger of 8-bit Theater fame.
“Robots! Monsters! Explosions!” exclaimed Clevinger. “Evil geniuses and the lightning guns that kill them! […]

What more could I possibly say?

Iron Man just keeps getting cooler. Today we have a report from AICN that Samuel L. Jackson, who the Ultimate version of Nick Fury was based on, is making a cameo appearance in Iron Man.
I mocked up the Image to the left in Photoshop, but I can’t wait to see the real deal.
Iron Man, […]

Countdown continues, and this week we get a history lesson as well as a new character or two, and the beginnings of the “Challengers of the Beyond” team.
Jimmy Olsen catches those of us who didn’t read Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Saga in the 1970s up with the origins of the New Gods and Jimmy’s long […]

Not every comic needs more than a few sentences to describe it…we call those comics Quick Takes…..
The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #13
There has been a lot of very obvious hype surrounding this book. So much hype, in fact, that I picked it up thinking that surely the thing everyone on the web […]
