John Rozum recently talked about his problems as writer of Static Shock, citing that he was hardly writing the book, the actual work being split between artist Scott McDaniel and editor Harvey Richards, which is why he chose to walk off the book with issue 4, not wanting his name to be associated with work…
The Darkness #100 is on its way… And this is the first you’ll have seen of the Todd McFarlane (above), the Michael Golden (below) and the Marc Silvestri retailer incentive (further below). 48 pages for $4.99 US, it’s out the last day of February. But since the Darkness II game comes out today, it seems…
It was the recent ICV2 interview with Marvel Senior Vice President-Sales David Gabriel that did it. Answering a questionnaire with no followups, he managed to dodge some questions by answering different ones, and throw some googlies at the opposing team. But he’s hardly alone in this, DC’s Executive VP-Sales, Marketing and Business Development John Rood…
Pretty much as premiered last night at Sony’s The Untold Story special events, here’s the first full trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. This time there’s Lizard, there’s more back story and there’s a good sense of the “new” Peter Parker. I say “pretty much” because those of usat the events got to see it in…

The new Skins-Meets-X-Men TV series from E4 launches next month.
Until then, here’s the very stylised trailer to tease you with a bunch of young crims stuck on community service, who get hit by some special kind of lightning and develop new powers. Basically its Superted.
But with sex, drugs and thieving, probably.
Enjoy.
But what powers will these Misfits have? And where will we have seen those powers before?
Party-girl Alisha (Antonia Thomas) can send people into a sexual frenzy with just one touch….
I’m thinking Joyboy from Excalibur. Just slightly thinner. And less likely to ride around in a hovering chair.
Oh, and female. Nasty way to mess her opponents’ pants though.
Hard-as-nails Kelly (Lauren Socha) can suddenly hear people’s thoughts…
Well, there’s a host of superhero telepaths, from Professor Xavier to Emma Frost to Jean Grey to Psylocke… bit of a standard here really. Bet she starts hetting headaches/nosebleeds as a result, I bet.
One-time sporting hero Curtis (Nathan Stewart Jarrett) discovers he has the ability to turn back time…
Previous exhibitors of this kind of power include Switchback off of X-Calibre, Hiro off of Heroes, Rachel in Days Of Future Past and Cher off of her vaguely successful hit “If I Could Turn Back Time”
Generally doesn’t get used as it can lead to nasty headache-inducing plots. To which anyone who read Doctor Who: A Room With A Deja View can attest.
Painfully shy nerd Simon (Iwan Rheon) can make himself invisible. I think we can ensure one locker room scene from that description alone.
Other proponents of the intangible-as-to-sight brigade include The Invisible Woman, Claude off of Heroes, Phantom Jack and me when I’m standing at a bar trying to get served.
And smart-aleck Nathan (Robert Sheehan) can do… nothing. Yet.
More to come on this one, I’m sure… I hope to have more Misfits infornmation in a week or so.

We’ve finally been given a look at Loki’s forces in the new, extended trailer for The Avengers, as premiered online just after a cut-down version graced the Superbowl.

Here’s the new TV spot for The Avengers as premiered during the Superbowl – just, longer now. And that’s a good thing.

In yesterday’s webchat (referred to earlier), Alan Moore revealed that the next League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen project to follow the conclusion of Century this summer, is to be called Nemo: Heart Of Ice, and that forty of the forty-eight pages involved have been written so far… and that we’ll see it before the end of…

Is it Spider-Man? Or has Iron Man just got a fancy new paint job? This is the costume he’ll be wearing in the upcoming Ends Of The Earth storyline, as the machinations of Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six are made clear. There’s webbing design on the lining as well. Related Posts:Spider-Man’s New Costume Gets…
When reporting early rumours about Before Watchmen, almost every name I was given turned out to be true – Darwyn Cooke, Brian Azzarello, JMS, Amanda Conner, JG Jones, Andy Kubert, Joe Kubert, Adam Hughes and John Higgins. There was another name that I dismissed as it was denied directly – that of Kevin Smith. His…
