Things are not looking at all good for Smallville these days. First the series creators decide to move on to pastures new, then Kristin Kreuk (who plays Lana Lang) only signs up to do a few episode in the next season. Next Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) jumps ship.
Never mind there, there’s still Lois Lane and [...]

Image via WikipediaSo the sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight hasn’t actually hit theaters yet, but already people are turning their attention to a third batman movie and Filmstalker had a few rumors to share.
There is talk apparently that the third Batman film may be based on the graphic novels The Long Halloween and [...]

Countdown to Final Crisis #1
Writer: Paul Dini
Artist: Tom Derenick
Publisher: DC
So here we are. Finally the countdown reaches 1. And what do we get? An epilogue. As I feared this whole exercise hasn’t lead into Final Crisis at all. In fact the only really significant bit seems to be the death of the New Gods which [...]

Amazing Spider-Man #557
Writer: Zeb Wells
Artist: Chris Bachalo
Publisher: Marvel
The latest Spider-man storyline wraps up and I’m mainly just pleased it’s over. I’m not a fan of Bachalo’s art and Wells first contribution to Brand New Day really just didn’t do much for me. Not that it was bad, but I’m not that into Spidey fighting gods [...]

Booster Gold #8
Writer: Geoff Johns & Jeff Katz
Artist: Dan Jurgens
Publisher: DC

I’ve really been enjoying Booster Gold so far, and this current story (Blue and Gold) in particular. What makes that a little surprising is that I have no particular attachment to either Booster Gold or this particular Blue Beetle.
But what DC is [...]

You can watch the first Watchmen video journal at the Comics2Film website. Warner Bros adaptation of the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons graphic novel of the same name is scheduled for release on March 6th 2009.
As a huge fan of the comic, I’ve been watching this adaptation with nervous anticipation. The recently released character shots [...]

Secret Invasion #1
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Leinil Yu
Publisher: Marvel
So Secret Invasion is upon us. They hype has been heavy for the last few months, but Bendis has apparently been seeding his stories for years now with elements that lead up to this story. One of the big criticisms of Bendis’ last crossover event was that [...]

Astonishing X-Men #17
Writer: Joss Whedon
Artist: John Cassady
Publisher: Marvel
Whedon’s story continues its meandering pace this issue, though it does look like we might be getting close to a conclusion of some sort. The art is of course as good as ever, but this is a storyline that has just gone on too long.
I’m at the [...]

Another week, and another batch of comic book reviews. It’s another large column too this week I’m pleased to say. So enough pointless waffle and on with the reviews.
Ms. Marvel #7
Writer: Brian Reed
Artist: Roberto De La Torre
Publisher: Marvel
Ms. Marvel is in the middle of a Civil War tie in right now and it’s actually [...]
