Variety is reporting that the Sci-Fi channel has greenlit Stan Lee’s Who Wants to be a Superhero reality show for another season.  Season two will be made up of 10 episodes with Pow! Entertainment and Bruce Nash Entertainment executive producing the show. I don’t know about you, but I remember the “good ol’ days” when a season’s worth of shows amounted to more than a measly 10 episodes.  Remember the days of 32 episodes a season?  Can you image how the ratings of Blade: The Series, Entourage, Smallville, and even Deadwood would be if there were 32 weeks of goodness…

I told you this week would be one of reviews and announcements. Please join me in welcoming Matthew Peterson to the Major Spoilers writing staff. I have known Matt for nearly 20 years, when we met on our first day of college. Matt is a brilliant writer, and has an amazing memory when it comes to all things comic. He first got me interested in Legion of Superheroes with his amazing ability to recall characters, events, and storylines for the twenty or so years prior. This of course was back in the days before Zero Hour when many of the…

Hey everybody!  I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know I won’t be updating the site much between now and Monday.  My sister is getting married this weekend, so I’ll be busy with that, popping in and out.  I will get the Heroes review up (probably after the next episode), a 52 review will be up by end of day Sunday, and I have a few surprises to announce next week! Hey come on – if I’m going to say something about a wedding, what picture would you use?  Reed and Sue’s marriage? Nope…

Lee Benaka had time this weekend to head to the Baltimore Con and sent this report. Good afternoon! I just got back from Baltimore, where my son and I ended up having a great time despite an inauspicious beginning where the Convention Center was evacuated within 10 minutes of us arriving. That was OK, because it was about lunchtime anyway. After some sushi, we made it back in, and I was delighted to see the swirl of activity at the booth where Ron Wilson and Keith Pollard were sitting. Jeff Jaworski was working up a sweat handling art sales and…
