This, from BleedingCool. I can’t tell if Johnston is answering the question as “These are my top 5 DC writers,” or “Based on Marvel solicitations or other planning news that has since emerged, these must be the five to whom Brevoort is referring.” I think I credit Scott Snyder’s run on the New 52 Batman…
Warner Brothers announced last night that Ben Affleck has been cast as Batman in the as-yet-untitled-but-sure-to-be-terrible Man of Steel sequel, which will pit the Caped Crusader against Superman before they inevitably team up to fight Lex Luthor or whoever. Affleck is an acclaimed writer and director who usually does a terrible job of acting in…
Grant Morrison recently sat down with Kevin Smith, when he dropped this bombshell (language is NSFW): Source I’m with Smith on this one. I’ve read that story about a dozen times over the years. My entire reading of that book was just shattered. Unbelievable.
Comic Book Resources shared an interview yesterday with Avi Arad, chief creative officer of Marvel Entertainment, regarding the upcoming sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man. The interview is all of two questions long, and Arad’s responses are largely just salesmanship, but there’s a passage in there that reminded me of the review that Doom DeLuise and…
… so join me and others demanding a sequel, including the publishers of “2000 A.D.” Because seriously, “Dredd” was amazing.
Blue and Orange. Orange and Blue. What would Hollywood do without you? As is the case with nearly every major Hollywood release these days, 300: Rise of an Empire only has two colors in its palette: Blue and Orange. It’s one of those things where, once you see it, you can’t un-see it. You can’t…
According to Rule #34 of the Rules of Acquisition, “War is good for business.” That’s entirely different than Rule #34 of the Internet, but I can’t really get into that here. But war is good for business, in a lot of ways. Especially in movies and television and, of course, comic books, war drives profits…
On April 10th of this year, I moved out of the United States. I left behind my friends, my family, and, most importantly, my comic books. Living in a new country on the opposite side of the planet from what I’m used to is very strange in many ways, but the one thing I’ve had…
Are you familiar with the company “Mondo?” They make some of the most consistently cool stuff I’ve ever seen. Seriously. Every few months, I go visit their blog, and it always just blows me away. According to their website: Mondo creates limited edition screen printed posters for our favorite classic and contemporary films, in addition…
I hate spoilers. They’ve gotten progressively worse over the years, as people try harder and harder to be the first to get the scoops on all the latest movies, comics, TV shows, whatever, and I just don’t get the appeal. It’s gotten so bad that discussions of spoilers of major plot points now come up…
