  • Willingham speaks out on Batman 644 controversy (SPOILERS BIG TIME)

    Batman 644 reveals the real killer of Stephanie Brown (Robin nee Spoiler). It turns out it was Dr. Leslie Thompkins, who killed her just to try to send Batman a message. (Swipe that to see the identity.) Bill Willingham has addressed the numerous outraged fans with a message that boils down to “controversy is good,…

  • In a World…

    This is a hilarious promo film (in Quicktime format) for the Hollywood Reporter’s “26th Annual Key Art Awards”. (You can right-click on it and choose “save as”.) It features the five men who perform almost all of the voice-overs in Hollywood. (EDIT: Oops, I forgot the link. Sorry!)

  • Heavens to Murgatroyd! I found the definition!

    Rod D. Murgatroyd reveals the origin of the word Murgatroyd, his family name. A constable appointed by the king chose to rename himself Johanus de Morgateroyde, or John of Moor Gate Royde. Moor-gate-royd roughly translates to “the clearing on the way to the moor.” What an impressive title. And I thought it was spelled Mercatroid…

  • REVIEW: Bullock’s Law

    Picked this one up at the con, just cuz I like Bullock. I glanced at the credits. Dixon. Shoulda known. Dixon’s name has been appearing on a surprising number of the comics I bought, and in most cases I wasn’t even aware he was one of the creators! It’s a pleasant surprise. I loved this…

  • …though I can’t see Buscemi as the center square.

    This is the first I’ve heard of the ‘Charlotte’s Web’ live-action movie debuting June 2006. I fondly remember the cartoon, though, especially Paul Lynde as the voice of Templeton. So who is voicing Templeton in the movie? Steve Buscemi! Brilliant!

  • Metro Med #0 – The Ashcan Edition

    I know, I still haven’t followed up on my post about Wizard World Chicago. My life’s been hectic for this entire month, and I’ve had very little time on the computer. I was going to wait until Shooting Star’s online store was ready to go, but I think you’ve all been waiting long enough to…
