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…

Seth Grahame-Smith is probably best known to Little Bleeders as the man that Tony Lee adapted. His Pride and Prejudice and Zombies kick-started a deluge of rewritten literary classics, tweaked to include monsters and behemoths, and his Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is at the forefront of applying the same schtick to historical figures.
We already knew that Grahame-Smith was teaming up with Burton to produce a big-screen Abraham Lincoln picture, likely to be directed by Timur Bekmembetov. It seems they’ve really hit it off as Deadline have reported that Grahame-Smith will be writing the next draft of Burton’s upcoming Dark Shadows movie, ahead of a January shoot date. Finally!
Johnny Depp is still attached to star as Barnabas Collins, a vampire looking for his lost love and who, in one extended storyline, travelled back to 1841 to heroically alter the timeline and prevent a disaster. At another juncture in the show’s incredibly complex, soapy plot, Barnabas travelled to a parallel dimension in which he met Bizzaro versions of many regular characters. I’m doubtful that the movie is going to dwell on either of those odd chapters but secretly hoping that both get mixed in somehow.
And neither would I expect it to spend much time on the show’s pre-Barnabas era, especially when they have Johnny Depp in that role.
I think Burton and Depp are about to get caught between Twilight lovers and Twilight haters, each group with their own sharp and pointy bias to prod Dark Shadows with.
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.

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.

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…
