My semi-regular post about all things related to comic books–America’s greatest contribution to the literary field.  This week, updates about the Chew TV show, the Deadpool movie, and more….

True geeks have already read today’s post about the world of comic books, in which I revealed that several star writers returning to Marvel Comics (Ennis!  Rucka!  Waid!).  But if you prefer your media to move for you, hit the break for the latest on supertoons, TV shows, and flicks, and more, like the new [...]

I still think Thor looks like it’ll be a better movie, but that Red Skull is freakin’ awesome.

Howard Stern?!  Really?!  Yes!  Hit the break!  But in the meantime, check out this amazing cover for this year’s Marvel event, “Fear Itself.”

Okay, I know I ended 2010 by threatening not to do this anymore, but an overwhelming three of you told me that your lives would change if I stopped. So I’m keeping going. I’m going to try to do bigger news dumps, but a little less often. This time: Sales figures for last year; the [...]

Murrow Debate Team (along with yours  truly!) is the rumored director of both/either Wolverine 2 and/or the Superman reboot to be produced by Christopher Nolan. I think if it goes the way of the Wolverine, it’s [...]

1.  X-MEN: FIRST CLASS. Of all the upcoming cape flicks, this is the one I’m second-most-looking-forward-to (first is Avengers, natch!).  Despite the title, the film will include not just the original 5 muties from the Stan Lee era, but also will have Banshee, Magneto (of course), Emma Frost, and Havok. 2.  ULTIMATE THOR. The “Ultimates” [...]
