Quick Links: May 17th

"Beast Wars" was often hit or miss for me. But when it was good, it was great.
Shout is offering the complete series for 50$. That's some good value for robots fighting. Ah Dinobot, you were so brave.
-
Comics Alliance has the new Tin Tin live action movie posters.


I am oddly enthused to see this movie.
-
Spinoff Online (and many other places) are reporting that the Wonder Woman pilot wasn't picked up. They submit that TV might be giving up on geeks (as Smallville also just wrapped up for good). I would prefer to think that Wonder Woman just wasn't that good a pilot, especially since the superhero movies have set the bar so high in terms of production value.
-
"Thor" seems to be doing well. I should get out to go see it, I guess.

The Cool Kids have a post about why Forge is the worst of the X-Men today. They're right, Forge was a terrible X-Man. Really, fuck that guy, he's always so whiny and he has led a life of failure.

Apparently, there is a Royal wedding motion comic app. Yeah, I knows. I knows.

Green Lantern is adding 9 Million dollars to it's special effects budget. A little late in the game to be messing with the SFX, I think. How bad did it look?

The first image from the Avengers movie set is out, over at Comics Alliance. I am giddy with anticipation.

Quick Links - March 9th (Spidey Edition)

• A copy of "Amazing Fantasy" #15, the first appearance of Spider-Man, sold for 1.1 Million dollars. The book was printed in 1962, fairly recent for an issue that is now valued in seven figures.
• Comics Alliance is reporting that Julie Taymor is leaving "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark". It is also getting it's music and story re-written. I expect at the end of it all, The play will just be "Cats". I wonder what Greg Horn will paint?
• Slashfilm has a few set shots from the next Spider-Man movie.
• SuperHeroHype has the first shot of the full costume:

This has been making the rounds for a bit, as Olly Moss tries to bake you see things.

A few more images are out for "X-Men: First Class". I have always dug the Xavier Institute logo.

The Joes and Cobra are both gearing up to fight zombies. I read "Infestation #1" last week, mostly on a lark, and I am gearing up to call this the worst cross-over of the year. Yes, I am aware it's February. IDW really jumps on the zombie-bandwagon 4 years too late, and while zombie vs Ghostbusters is mildly interesting, It goes downhill from there. Vs Joes? Eh, okay. Vs Star Trek? Just beam them into space. Vs Transformers?!? Really IDW? Really?

Moving on...
The Cool Kids Table has a look at April's coolest comic covers. Art Adams? Travis Charest? Darick Robertson draws Conan? Eric Powell and Mike Mignola? April is a good month for comic covers.

Todd Klein talks about typography and lettering in regards to iconic Comic logos over at CBR.
Neil Gaiman celebrates 10 years of his blog. Yay for creators and their interaction with fans.

Thank you Superdickery for this gem:

That's very...Wow, Superman. You get rid of that cross.

Lastly, Peter David threw up a few hours ago.

Quick Links - February 1st

• CBR has a good piece on Bane, so you can get to know the character before he appears in the next Chris Nolan Bat-film.

• Chris Ward rails on Gareb Shamus, talks appropriately about Wizard. Here's a nice excerpt about the Shamus brothers:

"...they spent so much time in their youth launching the magazine, that they didn’t get to develop the correct range of inter-personal skills and emotions necessary to make people not hate you."

• Comics Alliance talks about who was cast as Superman for the next movie. I don't watch "The Tudors", so I have no opinion yet.
  

• And finally, Panels on Pages has a contest to win copies of "Superman: a XXX Porn Parody". The cover art seems to say the porn version follows pretty closely to the old Richard Donner films.

X-Men: First Class has some new stills and the first poster out. See them here.

Dog Fort comics are the best comics. I seriously love Dog Fort. It fills me with glee.

Everyone is talking about Anne Hathaway in the new Batman movie.

Marvel unveiled the new international Thor poster.

No, seriously. Dog Fort.

• An insanely detailed listing of all the Batmobiles. All of them.

• A group of renegade cops in Milwaukee have decided that they're the Punishers, and are now vigilaties of the scariest variety.

• Robot 6 presents their "Top 50 Covers" of 2010.

• IDW comics is running a company crossover event called "Infestation". This event sounds so ridiculous, you won't even believe me. It is a crossover between "G.I.Joe", "Transformers" (been done before, sure), "Star Trek" (what?) and "Ghostbusters" (what what?). It is also about a trans-dimensional zombie plague. Yup. Zombies.
