Bidi Bidi Bidi… That’s the Frikkin Bomb, Buck!
Been playing with this in the wee hours of the evening after closing the FP NYC store… Go Hero’s Buck Rogers 12″ Action Figure … That’s right. Playing with it. Grown man, playing with a toy.

A lot of cool things spun out of Comic Con, but given that we recommended you go shopping on Sunday, here are a few things we would love to pick up. Booster Gold fan club t-shirt [pictured above]. It looks like this was a giveaway at the con, and if that is so, that’s quite [...]
Birthers blog claims Loki is behind the disappearance of Obama’s birth certificate.
Oh my God, you guys, this could be the funniest thing I’ve ever read in my entire life. This Birthers blog, entitled “Heretical Ideas”, seems to think that Loki from Marvel Comics is the reason why our President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S. of A. If you don’t know anything about the [...]
“World War Z” author to write G.I. Joe miniseries.
If nothing else, we should at least get a well-written G.I. Joe something, because I’m pretty sure we won’t find anything well-written in the movie. Max Brooks, Mel Brooks’s son, will write a G.I. Joe mini series coming from IDW. “Both Chris Ryall (IDW Editor-in-chief) and I read ‘World War Z’ and we knew we [...]
Warren Ellis and the movies.
Warren Ellis says he is writing a treatment for “Excalibur.”Well, really, he says its an “Untitled Arthurian Legend” treatment, but his producers call it Excalibur. I’m writing a film treatment for Hollywood Gang, who co-produced Frank Miller’s 300. Hollywood Gang have previously optioned my graphic novel (with Chris Sprouse) OCEAN. On my desk, the treatment [...]
“Prisoner” remake not really a remake.
TV Squad covered the Prisoner panel which had star Jim Caviezel and producer/writer Bill Gallagher as guests.

The Village [...]
Fans Swede “Iron Man 2″ footage, Be Kind Rewind Style.
So some fans “Be Kind Rewind” ‘d the “Iron Man 2″ footage from Comic Con, because the studio hadn’t released the clip yet. And we echo what Topless Robot had to say on this topic: I’d also like to ask why on god’s green earth these studios don’t release the actual footage after showing it [...]
Captain Jack as Captain America?
At the Torchwood panel at the San Diego Comic Con this weekend (let’s face it: we’ll be talking about it all week) a fan asked John Barrowman a boring question: what other roles he’d like to play. This is what Captain Jack Harkness had to say: “You know what I want to play? Captain America,” [...]

SDCC: David Tennant “sorry” for the end of “Doctor Who.”
At the San Diego Comic Con, people expected that Russell T. Davies would announce a “Doctor Who” movie starring David Tennant, but we would get nothing of the sort. Instead, what audience members got were trailers for the final three episodes of Tennant’s run as the Time Lord. And apparently, he’s sorry: I think he [...]

Ben (McCool) has to be one of the most creative and likable guys I know [...]
News from Day 2 of SDCC.
I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck, and I didn’t go out last night, but it seems across the country the party was raging all night. I guess Daughtry performed at the Wrath of Con party last night, which seemed like quite the event. Regardless, yesterday we had the Eisners, Marvelman, and quite [...]
