And you’re probably like, “Well, duh, d-bag. It’s Wednesday.” But it’s been my experience that, on weeks with a postal holiday, comic shops get their books a day late. Even the minor ones. But Monday was Columbus Day, so I didn’t go to the shop today to see what was new. I finally found “my”…
Terrance Howard, who played Colonel James “Rhodey” Rhodes in this year’s blockbuster motion-picture “Iron Man,” will not be back in the sequel. He will be replaced by Don Cheadle, most famous for his portrayal of the character of Will’s childhood friend “Ice Tray,” in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Rhodey, of course, eventually goes on…

Night Shyamalama-ding-dong is considering directing a follow-up to his 2000 movie “Unbreakable,” which starred Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. Explains Shyamalan: I do love the [comic book movie]…
JIM DOOM: The August sales figures were released yesterday, and regarding these new Trinity numbers, there are two things going on here. There’s the obvious drop-off in the number of readers who gave up on weekly comics, presumably due to Countdown’s awfulness. You have to get to week 36 of Countdown, which is past the…
