Well Disney is well on its way to owning everything. Today they have acquired Marvel Comics. You can read about it here, here, here.
Overall, it’s probably good for Marvel. Of course that may mean it’s bad for us, because they’ll be shoved down our throats. Read DC, people!

Excelsior!
Holy Moley!
There are plenty of things that make me geek out, but this is one of those that makes me doubly excited!
My favorite comic book writer will be adapting one of my favorite comic book characters to the big screen!
If you’re only familiar with the phrase “Shazam!” because of the band or the music serach engine [...]
In brightest day…
Ok, I must admit, although I really can’t stand Jimmy Fallon (he’s actually growing on me- gasp!) I gotta give him props for featuring my man Geoff Johns in a skit taped at the San Diego Comic Con. Johns is the former writer of “JSA” (more on that later) and “Action Comics” and is currently [...]
Is it a double negative…?
Esteemed Southern colleague, Codell Rodrigeuz alerted me to some new stories going around about the status of another Batman movie. Apparently the talk of Two-Face being definitively dead is getting softer. Read the updates here and here.
Personally, I’d like to a new villain take center stage, only to have Two Face appear at the end, [...]
While we’re on the subject of comic book themed movies…
Newsarama has put out their list of the ten best comic book themed movies. You can read it here. I have quite a few problems with it.
At the top of the list should unquestionably be “Dark Knight.” The writing, performances, it just had everything. It made “Batman Begins,” which should also be on the list, [...]
X marks the spot?
So, the first batch of pics from the upcoming “Wolverine” movie have just hit the net. My first response was “There’s a Wolverine movie?” Well, that wasn’t quite my reaction, but close.
My actual reaction is “I don’t care,” which, I think is the case with most people.
Think about it like this. There is still tremendous [...]
Oh Spiro Agnew eat your heart out…
The build to “The Avengers” movie continues. “The First Avenger: Captain America” has a director. Read about him here.
Being mostly a visual effects guy, Johnson does have some kind of pedigree, however, his directing experience kind of makes him an unknown. The released films to his credit, “The Rocketeer,” “Jumanji,” “October Sky,” and “Hidalgo,” [...]
This could be awesome…
Newsarama has an article detailing who is confirmed to be involved in the Avengers movie, at this point.
Read it here. Very cool.
“Pear pimples for hairy fishnuts!”
The Washington Post reports here that Berkeley Breathed’s “Opus” will be ending it’s five year run in November.
As a kid, growing up in the 80’s, “Bloom County” was one of my favorite comic strips. In fact it was “the” strip. There was a strip renaissance in those days. Along with “The Far Side” and “Calvin [...]
A fate worse than death…
Newsarama has a preview of the new issue of “Batman,” featuring the “Batman RIP” storyline. If you haven’t been reading it, you’re missing out. Grant Morrison has crafted an amazing story, one that has been keeping readers on the edge of their seat, wondering what will happen. It’s one of the first times I’ve ever [...]
