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…

Here’s what we know now about David Fincher’s remake of The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo and its proposed sequels.
A few news stories over the last week or so have confirmed, or at least reconfirmed old rumours. The odd scrap of previously unknown info surfaced, but much of this is consolidation. I’ll be quick.
Fincher has told MTV where his film is going to be set:
Stockholm. Uppsala. In the north. You have to. What, are you going to put it in Seattle?
Anne Thompson had previously reported this, noting that the actors will be expected to put on accents.
Daniel Craig has inked a contract to star in not just Dragon Tattoo but any or all three of the Millennium films, of course depending on how many are actually filmed. We’ve known for ages that he’s been inching towards the deal, but the confirmation came from Sony in just the last day or so.
Natalie Portman told Hit Fix that she hadn’t been approached for a role in the film. So who has? Indiewire name Lea Seydoux, Emily Browning, Sophie Lowe, Sarah Snook and Rooney Mara.
That’s a French girl, three Australians and an American. Rooney Mara’s name came up some weeks ago, Seydoux was the newest on the list, added after Indiewire first published.
If Fincher really did think Yo-Landi Vi$$er was his ideal Lisbeth Salander, I can see that being a leg-up for Lea Seydoux (see picture, head of post). Of the list given here, she seems the most similar in features and attitude. My bet for most likely to get the role.
I am interested to see who will be the next Lisbeth, but I’d have to say I’m more interested to find out what “the original”, Noomi Rapace, will be doing next. She was better than the role, I think.
Sony have announced that Fincher’s film will open on December 21st, 2011. Production will therefore have to kick off before the end of the year.
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.

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…
