Well, not really, but his latest project for Boom! Studios features a good guy turning bad in Irredeemable. Essentially Waid is asking the question, “What if the world’s greatest hero decided to become the world’s greatest villain?” Waid is answering the question in the new monthly ongoing series. “In superhero comics, pretty much everyone who’s called upon to put on a cape is, at heart, emotionally equipped for the job. I reject that premise,” said series writer and BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Mark Waid. “IRREDEEMABLE is, in a way, my third and most complex chapter on the cost of superheroics -…

Why haven’t we seen any more Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movies in a while? The rights reverted back to game creator Eidos a few years ago and apparently there has been a bidding war over which studio would pick up the franchise. The Hollywood Reporter is noting Time Warner invested more money into the game company, which included the film rights. Now the studio is trying to put something together for the next generation of movie goers. The new project, however, is expected to revamp the character and her mission and bear little resemblance to the original pictures. It will…

It just got really weird You know what has really been missing in DC Comics since the end of 52? A whole slew of mutliverse stories. Sure, there’s that whole cluster bomb that is Final Crisis and Superman Beyond 3D that touches on a multiverse, and there has been an ongoing tale featuring Superman from Earth-22 in JSA, but that story took place on New Earth. It could be argued Trinity is a multiverse story, in that it features the Riddler from the Antimatter universe, but the series has turned more into an alternate timeline story than one that takes…

Sonofagun! For the last year, I’ve been faithfully saving my Anti-Monitor points from Mattel’s Infinite Heroes line. I was hoping it would lead up to a major reveal where toy fans could mail away for a humongous Anti-Monitor, or at least some special figure not found anywhere else. The good news is, there is a point to the point collecting, the bad thing is you HAVE to be at the San Diego Comic Con to cash them in. You can look forward to new reveals for DCUC, Infinite Heroes, JLU as well as Movie Masters and Batman Brave and the…
