Animated Green Lantern
Hot on the heels of a disappointing opening weekend for the big budget Green Lantern film comes Cartoon Network’s promotion of Green Lantern: The Animated Series.
DC #1s, and why they are a good thing.
I love it when the industry gives us a news story that causes great debate. We have seen it before, of course, with the Death of Superman, the Clone Saga, and Quesada getting the EIC job; the list is endless.…
DC’s First to Fall
Don’t get me wrong here; I want the new DC to be a huge success. There will be 52 new #1s this September and even the biggest optimist at DC doesn’t expect all 52 to last out even a year.…

#43: Getting Around To It
Every week Comic Book Daily asks the question and the crew (and special guests) give their answers; we’ll be doing this for 52 weeks. Tip of the hat goes to the gang at Scans Daily for the inspiration and Scott VanderPloeg for this week’s question.
This week's 52Q comes as I look at a pile of abound: sixty collected editions stacked beside my chair. What comic are you buying but never get around to reading, and why do you keep putting it off?

Why the First Films in a Franchise Tend to Suck
So, before work this morning, I popped onto Rotten Tomatoes to see how Green Lantern fared in terms of film critics’ response. As of this writing, the “Tomatometer” is at 22% (with an average score of 4.4/10) with 93 critics…
Undervalued Spotlight #89

G.I. Joe: Tales from the Cobra Wars
In the summer of 1989 I was sitting in my room, with pad and a pen, writing out what I had hoped would be the greatest piece of G.I. Joe fiction ever. After two paragraphs I got bored. So unfortunately…
X-Men Legacy #250
After being stuck in limbo X-Men Legacy readers get a giant-sized mystery and a new team on a mission to find Legion's missing personas. The title is one of few Marvel series to have avoided renumbering and is known as the title staying honest to each characters history.
In the character-driven issue every beat of the plot flows fluidly from panel to panel in what might become the last surviving X-book.
Screaming Planet
Humanoids week continues at Comic Book Daily with a look at Alexandro Jodorowsky’s Screaming Planet. Here’s the publisher’s blurb: [quote]All that remains of a prosperous, warm planet destroyed by the madness of its inhabitants many years ago…A living piece of…
The Onion Reports on Greg Lantern’s Opening Weekend
[via The Onion] In my opinion the best part is “YEAH GREEN LANTERN, SURE WHY NOT!” Apologies to Andrew Ardizzi who hasn’t been seen since this film was announced over 400 days ago. Our thoughts are with his family (he,…
DCU Reboot: A Reaction
It’s been a little over two weeks since DC announced that it was rebooting its Universe and releasing a whole slew of #1s. During that time, I’ve struggled to organize my thoughts on the subject, how this will affect the…
Comic Book Docs
In this post is an idea I wish for someone to use because I have not the resources to do it myself. But we’ll get to that. I love documentaries. Okay, I love good documentaries, especially those about music. Standing…

Humanoids? Who?
This is an open letter plea to Humanoids North America as part of Comic Book Daily’s Humanoids week: number one get yourself a public relations person and number two start adding material to your books. I’m a big fan of…
