Or – “Breaking My Rule, Because What Else Are Rules For?” As a comics reader, you often end up on a treadmill of event comics, shocking reveals, alternate realities, and everything-you-know-is-wrongs.  Occasionally, though, certain moments or characters break through the mediocrity.  Kate Spencer as Manhunter.  Uncle Sam punching out Superman.  Storm with a mohawk.  But one of the more recent wonderful bits came when a young lad named Jaime picked up the mantle of the Blue Beetle and ran with it.  As you might surmise from context, it seems to have ended quite badly, and even though I picked this…

If you make a Superman movie, does it have to take all of the other Superman films into account? Zack Snyder doesn’t think so, and as he told Hero Complex, it looks like the new Superman movie will be a reboot. “Literally, the one thing that everyone can start to think about is that we’re making a movie that finally goes with the approach that there’s been no other Superman movies. If you look at ‘Batman Begins,’ there’s that structure, there’s the canon that we know about and respect but on otherhand there’s this approach that pre-supposes that there haven’t…

Shooting is going on right now for the television Wonder Woman series.  Someone was on set, and snapped this picture of one of the seat backs, and shows off the logo/symbol for the series. Considering the changes going on in the Wonder Woman comics, I actually don’t mind the new logo.  We’ll see if it shows up in the show or elsewhere in the series. Elizabeth Hurley is on set right now shooting her scenes – take the jump for a look.

Or – “Marvel Vs. DC, 25 Years Or So Early…” There was a time in comics when the creator pool was a much smaller, and much tighter knit group, and when editorial control was pretty much limited to “Hey, Marv wants to use your guy next month.”  Creators might travel back and forth between the various publishers (though there was a Big Two, even then) and carry concepts and characters with them, as Steve Englehart did with Mantis and her various counterparts throughout his work.  Eventually, this would lead to unofficial crossover stories (one of which birthed the concept known…

Or – “V-I-L-L-A-I-N.  ‘Villian’ Is Not A Word, Folks.” The Legion of Super-Villains has gone through a lot of membership changes in it’s decades (our time) of service.  The last LSV consisted of nearly every member of every incarnation of the team and came within inches of destroying the entire multiverse before being stopped by an all-star three-universe Legion of Super-Heroes.  What the team has generally lacked, though, is a strong leadership force. Have you met Ted Saturn Queen?

Renowned comics writer Grant Morrison has found a lot to like in the transfer from page-to-screen of his Eisner Award-winning All-Star Superman, the critically-acclaimed, hot-selling new entry in the ongoing series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies available now from Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Home Video. In All-Star Superman, the Man of Steel rescues an ill-fated mission to the Sun (sabotaged by Lex Luthor) and, in the process, is oversaturated by radiation – which accelerates his cell degeneration. Sensing even he will be unable to cheat death, Superman ventures into new realms – finally revealing…
