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…

Zack Snyder has been caught by MTV and asked about the 3D visuals for his upcoming Sucker Punch. Earlier this year, Warner Bros. announced that the film was going to be converted in post production, and it was no mystery why: 3D has, by and large, meant big box office.
Colour me most surprised, then, when I read the following Snyder quote:
They’ve talked about doing a conversion and there’s been a lot of talk about us doing Sucker Punch in 3-D, but I’m still waiting to see. We’ve looked at a bunch of conversions, so whether or not we have the time to do it right – I’m not going to do it if we don’t have the time to really be meticulous with it. It’s such an awesome piece of work and everyone’s worked so hard to make it awesome, so I don’t want to screw it up with bad 3-D.
Sounds like he’s paving the way for a possible 2D-only release. I wonder what his conversations with Warners have been like? Maybe a bit easier now the 3D box office boom seems to be cooling off, if only just a little.
There’s been two main flavours of criticism levelled at post-production dimensionalisation: the Clash of the Titans kind, in which the 3D is ugly, obtrusive and above all else innacurate; and the Last Airbender kind in which the 3D is supposedly downplayed to the point of being useless.
I’ve seen a film shot in 2D that was upconverted to 3D really very beautifully and that was Henry Sellick’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Therefore I’m sure the process can be applied with skill and good sense and, as such, I’m not intrinsically opposed to it. I do support Snder’s main sentiment though – bad 3D really can ruin a movie.
No such worries about Snyder’s next release, fantasy owl toon The Legend of the Guardians. CGI pictures of that kind are very easy to dimensionalise well, and its trailer looked splendid in every dimension when I saw it before Clash.

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…
