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…

As I tell you about Disney’s plans for a live-action rom-com revolving around the Neverland fairy, Tinkerbell, remember Enchanted and how, actually, that was a pretty nifty picture. Formulaic and ultimately inconsequential but definitely entertaining. And some people liked Splash a great deal too, and I bet this will have a lot in common with that movie too.
This new movie, Tink, is set to star Elizabeth Banks as the fluttering irritant.
What hasn’t been explicitly stated but I believe to be utterly inevitable is that Tinkerbell will come, for some reason, to contemporary America and meet a nice guy who doesn’t believe in fairies. There’s at least two big problems they’ll have to write away – Tink’s size and her apparent inability to speak. I’m betting they clip her wings too, or somehow give her the ability to hide them. They can’t have her going round like she’s out on a hen night all the way through the film.
If there’s a third act beat wherein a huge group of people applaud to bring Tink back to life, I don’t think that applause will be repeated by the audience. The old “clap to life” has been done to death.
The film’s concept, says Variety, “plays with the mischievous nature of the Tinkerbell character. It was developed by Banks with Max Handelman”, her partner at Brownstone Entertainment. Elizabeth Wright Shapiro is writing the screenplay. I’ll embed below one of her previous collaborations with Elizabeth Banks, from Funny or Die. The dialogue is most definitely not safe for work, grandma’s tea party or the Festival of Light.

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.
