Back to Work To Buy Those Comics
IMPORTANT NOTE: Shipping this week is DC’s Nemesis The Imposters #1. Just so we are clear this is NOT the new Mark Millar comic from Marvel staring modified versions of DC’s Batman and the Joker. Let there be no confusion: the Marvel comic featuring evil Batman will be called Nemesis, too. I mean Nemesis #1, not Nemesis #1 from DC. That makes perfect sense, right?
A look back at the Green Hornet.
Recently there has been a whole slew of photographs from the set of Seth Rogen’s Green Hornet film, and I have to say they look great. Before Seth Rogen, and even before Bruce Lee, the Green Hornet was a long running radio serial. Starting out as a cousin to the Lone Ranger, the character was [...]

“Prince of Persia” graphic novel announced and other odds and ends.
Yet another graphic novel tie-in to a movie with an all star cast of artists attached. I swear, this is too good to be true. Heidi over at the Beat says, Cameron Stewart (“Seaguy”), Tommy Lee Edwards (“Marvel 1985″), Nico Henrichon (“Pride of Baghdad”) will collaborate with writer Jordan Mechner to bring the Jake Gyllenhaal [...]
