  • DC Comics unleashes a new universe of superhero titles

    DC Comics unleashes a new universe of superhero titles Everyone I know has been buzzing about this astounding new reboot that DC is doing. I hate to break this to everyone: There’s no reboot. And it’s not like I couldn’t go for one.  Considering how every few years all of the stories I cared about…

  • “Wonder Woman” TV Revamp Not Happenin’

    The Wonder Woman relaunch will not be launched.

  • A triumphant Darth Vader

    The warlord Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has been hiding in a cave-ridden desert region for 20 years, has been found and killed.  This according to Darth Vader.

  • Green Lantern Extended trailer

    A four minute trailer for “Green Lantern” was recently shown at WonderCon.  Enjoy! I’m torn. They went CGI on a lot of stuff that they didn’t have to, and that affects the overall quality of the film.  The way the Green Energy, aliens and landscapes look is just too video-gamey.  When you compare it to…

Holodecks were a terrible idea.  They eliminated the need for shore leave on a real planet, where a cabin fever-ish crew can get off the ship and provide the plot with whatever they encounter on…

  • Farewell to the great Dwayne McDuffie

    I think it’s fair to say that most everyone in the comic book industry is in shock right now.  Dwayne McDuffie has passed away, reportedly due to complications during surgery.  We still don’t know too much about what happened. Through this last weekend he was still posting on his blog about the debut of his…

  • Comments Off (for the nonce)

    You may have noticed that our web site disappeared over the weekend. For some reason, this blog’s database was using up a ton of resources on our server host, which doesn’t really make sense.  (I’ll be the first to say that my posting here has been almost non-existent for some time.)  Powweb shut down all…

    I’m psyched! Are you psyched? I didn’t realize he’d done a Star Trek ’09 review. Here it is. Language warning, of course. http://www.redlettermedia.com/star_trek_09.html
