Don’t Hate, Just Read #1: This Week in Comics.
Wednesday means new comics, anyone reading this blog knows that. So, with that in mind I’d like to point you in the direction of a couple of books I’m looking forward to.
From DC Comics today, we have the Geoff Johns/Gary Frank interpretation of Superman’s modern origin in Superman: Secret Origin #1. Think of it as [...]
REMEMBER: No Comics today, kids.
Because of the holiday on Monday, there are no new comics today, but there will be tomorrow. Diamond has a list of all the books coming out tomorrow.
I’m personally looking forward to Adventure Comics #2. Francis Manapul’s art has something called heart to it, especially with the Superboy stories. Heart in the sense that it [...]
In which we talk about Superman-related actors.
Its nice to see people branch out. Especially when you see such fine people as Kristin Kreuk jump the ship that is Smallville and move to Chuck with other Superman alum Brandon Routh.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Kreuk will play Hannah a new love-interest for Chuck in a multi-episode arc where she goes to work at [...]
No wonder Geoff Johns is really only writing mini-series now.
Because he has yet another movie to write! According to the Hollywood Reporter, Johns has been brought on to co-write another draft of the Shazam! screenplay.
Actor-turned-writer Bill Birch has been tapped to reboot “Shazam!,” Warners’ adaptation of a DC Comics series featuring Captain Marvel.
Geoff Johns, one of the three DC Comics heavyweights hired by the [...]
Jimmy Fallon interviews Geoff Johns.
Is it a bad thing when a comic book writer has more screen presence than your star? Well, now you know with an extended clip from the segment Jimmy Fallon ran on Comic Con while running around pitching his Recharger comic.
Johns said the idea was in the Top 5 Worst Pitches he’s ever heard. What’s [...]
Final SDCC News Tidbits.
Sorry for this not coming on Sunday, but there was no coffee in the house and I don’t function without coffee in the house. So, spinning out of Comic Con we got quite a number of the the answers we were looking for. So here we go:
Geoff Johns will be introducing the Justice Society of [...]
DC Comics Writers Consulting on Warner Films.
An interesting piece from the Hollywood Reporter creeped up yesterday, and it seems like no one has written a thing about it. Apparently, Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, and Marv Wolfman have been hired by Warner studios to consult on the film properties of DC characters they’ve written.
Levitz and DC’s Los Angeles-based film exec Gregory Noveck [...]
The Daily Planet Presents: Thursday Walk of Shame #1 with Jeff Ayers and Dave Press.
I shot this idea at Jeff earlier this week of doing a Basement Tapes-like weekly column where he and I talk about this Wednesday’s comics and other comic related events the morning after. Hence, “Thursday’s Walk of Shame.”
Now, would probably be a really great time to say GIANT SPOILERS from this week, and last week’s [...]
Heeeerrrrreeee’s Wednesday.
Okay, so maybe I could only will myself a week break from a “Shining” reference. I can’t stop myself, I’m a creature of habit. Regardless, its that time again, and that means some comics coming out this week.
The big one, of course, is “Blackest Night #1” which comes with a free Black Lantern Ring. I [...]
