If you’re going to tell a Doctor Who tale set during the Victorian era, steampunk seems to be appropriate.  And nothing screams steampunk more than the Cybermen.  Check out some spoiler filled shots from the upcoming episode.

Dynamite Entertainment has a slew of titles arriving in stores this week, and the company has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of The Lone Ranger #16, Army of Darkness #15, New Battlestar Galactica: Ghosts #1, Man with No Name: The Good, the Bad, and the Uglier #6, Red Sonja Vol 5 TPB, Painkiller Jane vs. Terminator Volume 1 TPB, and New Battlestar Galactica Season Zero Volume 1 TPB.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch’s cat Salem has been around in many incarnations from comics to cartoon to live action television series, and this March, Archie Comics is giving the sidekick his own miniseries.

This is probably the best Monday morning news that I’ve seen in a while. Looks like ABC has given a pilot nod to Bill Willingham’s Fables.  The show will be produced and written by Stu Zicherman and Raven Metzner.  David Semel will direct the fairy tale series set in the mundy world. “We set up a structure to allow any fairy tale character to show up in any one episode,” Metzner said. The fairy tale characters will keep some of their trademark characteristics. For instance, Prince Charming will be handsome, while Big Bad Wolf will have to shave a four-day…

As cool as some of the scenes from the new Punisher movie looked, the movie flopped at the box office this past weekend, bringing in an estimated $4 million.  To twist the knife even deeper, this opening was even worse than Howard the Duck – another Marvel property that has become a joke of the movie industry. For those worried that this is a death knell for Marvel, keep in mind this movie is not a Marvel Studios flick, but rather release by Lionsgate, who probably shot themselves in the foot by releasing Transporter 3 last weekend. Anyone see this?…

Things are not well in jolly ol’ England After the very excellent Crooked Man run, and the equally enjoyable In the Chapel of Moloch, it’s time to for a much larger and deep storyline that runs maybe as far back as the first issue in 1991.  One thing that is a given, with Mike Mignola back, readers are going to be in for one hell of a ride.

What Gog Giveth, Gog Taketh Away What happens if you don’t do what a god tells you to do?  That’s what the members of the Justice Society of America are about to find out as Gog makes a demand that not everyone is comfortable with.

Wait, he’s supposed to be dead, right? What do you do when you have a buffer from the moment you “killed” the world’s greatest detective, and the Battle for the Cowl storyline?  Oh, and don’t forget that little thing called Final Crisis, which just so happens to feature the character that was just offed?  A trip down memory lane seems appropriate.

When pressed if he’s been involved with in any discussions with Warner Bros., Singer rather cryptically answered, “I am not officially involved in the talk, no. I have relationships with Warner Bros. and with the character and, and, and it’s just the way things work out.” – Bryan Singer on his involvement with a new Superman movie. So what are your thoughts?  Are you happy or upset that Singer may not be involved in the next Superman movie? via MTV Splash

Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a couple more villain variant covers for upcoming titles.

I know a lot of you don’t watch Fringe, but it is a pretty good show, when you get into the mythology of everything.  It really is becoming the new X-Files.  I really dug the Observer episode that featured a bald-headed guy that just so happens to have been around at major events in the characters lives.  But careful observers of the show may have noticed the Observer in nearly every episode of the series since it began. Bizarre! I now have a new watching/drinking game for my Friday nights (that’s when I watch the show – what? You watch…

Here’s a sneak peek of episode 811, that features Doomsday, and something more…

Last week, we told you about the Profiles in History auction where you can spend your hard earned cash to own a piece of Hollywood memorabilia.  Digging around the World Web Internets like we always do, lead us to discover another auction coming up in January that is auctioning off a ton of Battlestar Galactia props. What looks good on this list? In addition to detailed set plans and sketches, Tricia Helfer’s red dress is sure to get someone’s interest.  You’re going to have to spend between $10,000 and $12,000 to get it, and it doesn’t come with Tricia Helfer. …
