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…

Toy Story 2 was famously intended as a direct-to-home-video movie, promoted to a big screen release when it started shaping up as something truly, extraordinarily special. That’s proven to be a regularly recounted verse of the studio’s history, and most of the time, it’s put forward as though the very notion of movie that bypasses cinemas is disgusting.
Also frequently held up with disdain is Pixar’s recent foray into regular sequelizing. There’s a second Monsters Inc. somewhere down the line and, first of all, a Cars 2 coming next summer. The Cars movie in particular has received undue and premature criticism because of two things we know about the first installment: it’s the least loved picture in the Pixar pantheon; and it made them an absolute mint in merchandising and licensing monies.
Haters, adopt the brace position. Movieline have the scoop that one of Pixar’s upcoming projects is not only another sequel, it’s another Cars sequel and, best of all, it’s being designed for release directly to disc.
The film is being called Planes. Even if you have minimal imagination you’ll be able to work out what the gist is there as you thump the words SELL OUT into the comments section of this post.
I’d imagine that Pixar Canada are going to be set to work on this new movie, and that the budget will be significantly lower than for a theatrical release. Very well, then, that good ideas are free.
Myself, I’m looking forward to Planes. I’ve a hunch we’ll be seeing it late next year, right around the home-video release of Cars 2 so more details should be forthcoming before too long.
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 are four screen grabs from the single shot in which they appear with any degree of clarity: So it’s not the Skrull or the Kree –…
Here’s the new TV spot for The Avengers as premiered during the Superbowl – just, longer now. And that’s a good thing. For those of you who watched the Superbowl just to see this commercial, tell me: was it worth it? Related Posts:The Extended John Carter Superbowl Spot Is Here (Fixed) The Avengers Mini-Rushes –…
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…
