Ryan at The Reader’s film blog has the official plot to the Green Lantern movie, and it seems to put about 87 carts before the green horse: (basic plot spoilers after the jump)…
Rich Johnston is reporting that starting in August DC will be dropping the page count on some of their newer books priced at $3.99. This is a change from the standard DC had set for its $3.99 books which would all have at least 30 pages of content. So far it looks like only lower…
There is a very clear trend now with comics that are made in to movies or TV shows. No matter how well the property does, especially in the case of a movie, it still helps drive sales of the comics they are based on. This is a interesting trend now as traditionally print comics have…
Over the weekend, I was talking to a friend of mine about Iron Man and the eventual Avengers movie, including a discussion of who the main characters are going to be and what movies are going to be released before the big team-up in 2012. He doesn’t read comic books, so he knows nothing about…
It’s fairly safe to say that everybody expected Iron Man 2 to blast open the doors of summer with a huge opening weekend box office take, and it did not disappoint. The total estimated tally for the new flick came in around $134 million for its first three days in wide release, compared to the…

Johnston’s post meant the major comics publishers would suddenly notice the site was there. This week the site was official taken down…
Welcome to the latest installment of “Doom and Doomer,” in which members of the Legion take a look at comics on the big screen. Tonight, your participants are Jim Doom and Doom DeLuise, looking at the new Kick-Ass movie, starring Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Nicolas Cage, based on the comic created by…
I am not surprised to find out that the movie adaptation of the Losers did not do well this weekend. It came in at number four in its debut, according to Box Office Mojo. Now I was a fan of the comic but when I saw the tailer I thought the movie looked like junk…
I read this qoute from Marvel artist David Aja by way of today’s Jounalista at the Comics Journal. Ann Nocenti told me recently she had a bunch of teenagers at house that said “marvel comics are for old people”. It might be just me but I found that incredibly funny. It does point to the…
