Weakly calling out Wizard

Marvel editor C.B. Cebulski went on a mini-twitter-tirade against Wizard today: More shoddy, sensationalistic reporting in the new Wizard. Let them retweet that as it seems this is where they’re getting all their “news”. (source) @jengrunwald With that kind of misinformation, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was a Wizard podcast.

Deadpool: The Movie

From Rob Liefeld’s Twitter. In junior high, we’d call this an “easy target.” It’s like I caught the slightest hint of underwear peaking out from sweat pants and now my hands can’t wait to put a wedgie death grip on them. Instead, I’ll let you write them. Put your comments below, and speculate on the…



Daredevil: Dark Reign: The List #1 was a big waste of money

I needed something to read over lunch today, so I cheated on my regular Wednesday shop and swung by the comic shop that’s closer to my workplace to pick something up. I settled on Daredevil: Dark Reign: The List #1 as 1) I am a Daredevil fan and reader and 2) its standalone nature suited…



X-Men: First Class: The Movie

MTV’s Splash Page blog noticed that Tim Pocock, who played the young Cyclops in this summer’s retro X-Men movie had left the following update on Twitter: currently shooting Australian…

To $1.99….



Astro Boy stuff

I am no manga fan. I have nothing against the stuff — I just don’t know much. The only series I’ve ever read was Death Note, which I eventually dropped around volume 9 or so because I just got tired of all the twists and what seemed like a contractual obligation to continue stretching the…



Warner Bros is Actually Making a Lobo Movie

In case you haven’t heard, the Powers That Be at Warner Bros have recently hired Guy Ritchie (of “Swept Away” fame) to direct the big-screen adaptation of Don Payne’s “Lobo” script. You might remember Don Payne as the guy who wrote the second Fantastic Four movie or the dude who penned “My Super Ex-Girlfriend,” one…
