So the big news buzzing around H’wood yesterday was the report that a work print copy of the upcoming Wolverine movie had indeed been leaked onto the Intard-webz, and was making the rounds on the various torrent sites. While this probably has many fanboys slobering more than usual, as they analyze every single frame of a movie, that isn’t the locked final print, and spouting their proclamations far and wide for whoever will listen in hopes of gaining some respect, and possibly losing their virginity (finally), the rest of us should just ignore it and wait until May. More ramblings…

Check out this review by Kenneth Turan of the L.A. Times. If you don’t want to…
I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been a huge fan of electronic books and digital content for years. I bought one of the first e-readers commercially available, and used it until the batteries were unable to hold a charge any longer. The black- and -white interface of the e-readers of yesterday and today are perfect for reading books, but for comics — not so good. Beyond the color issue, what else do e-reader creators, comic book publishers, and retailers need to do to make the transition to digital comics a success? I’ve got a few thoughts on that one.

What comics feature the best and the worst on the subject? It’s a topic that is deep, and one we’ll attempt to tackle.

Major Spoilers is the third website I’ve had the pleasure of building from the ground up. I’ve previously written about the professional video and audio industry, ran a site that was dedicated to streaming media before podcasting was ever a word and the world ran on dial-up, and have written about the consumer electronics arena. And through it all, there’s one thing that struck me as odd – the relationship between a reporting site and comic book publishers.
