Probably one of the most interesting incarnations of a Batman Cartoon is finally getting the panel treatment. DC Comics has announced a six issue miniseries centered around future Batman Terry McGinnis and the hit WB Cartoon Batman Beyond. For those of you who might now know what this is, Batman Beyond takes place in Gotham City in the year 2039. An aging Bruce Wayne is forced to hang up the Mantle of the Bat for good after a near miss while in action. Enter Terry McGinnis, a young man who seeks to bring his father’s killer to justice. Convincing Bruce that the world needs Batman, Terry becomes his protégé. By day he is Terry McGinnis- errand boy of Bruce Wayne. By night he is the new Dark Knight, with the…

Word is that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Stephen King’s The Stand, Marvel Knights Spiderman, Big Love) wants to revive the 1966 It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Superman musical, rewritten from the original book, and promising to follow the Superman mythos faithfully. The plot finds Lex Luthor being snubbed by the world who chooses Superman as Citizen Of The Century. Luthor decides to have Superman killed and hires a slew of villains to do his dirty work including Prankster, Toyman and Magpie (John Byrne’s version altered for the time period). The songs will be altered a bit for the play including a new song for Lois & Clark and lullaby for baby Kal-El at the beginning of the play. The attempt is to keep the drama of the original play but…

Spiderman Creator Stan Lee has a new project in the works. Teaming up with Archie Comics and A Squared Entertainment, Lee will tell the story of 7 aliens who find themselves stranded on earth after their spaceship crashes. They befriend Lee who helps them become Superheroes. "Although I’ve briefly appeared in other comics, Super Seven is the first time that I’ll actually be a continuing character in a far-out, original superhero series," Lee said. Assuming everything gets off the ground without a hitch, Archie will publish the comic this fall and A Squared Entertainment will work on a TV series and online properties. I think this is an awesome idea. A lot of people hate on Stan, but he’s led an amazing life. He enjoys himself to the fullest, and…

It was fun, whimsical, heart warming, and beautifully produced. All of us that were fans, still feel bitter disappointment at it’s untimely passing. We have reason to rejoice. It seems as though Pushing Daisies shall return, after a fashion, as a graphic novel. Chi McBride, who played the loveable, grumpy bear of a PI, Emerson Cod, told Scifi Wire that series creator Bryan Fuller has begun writing a graphic novel follow-up. "Bryan’s doing a graphic novel," McBride said in an interview last week in Pasadena, Calif., where he was promoting his new Fox TV series Human Target. "He sent me…

My Eyes Fall Gently Shut
It’s strange the things you think about in the end. I know the odds of survival for a young man in my position are considered to be quite high. The odds for a man my age? Considerably lower. Somewhere in the area of one in one million, I imagine. I can’t help but picture one million men—all decked out in the same preposterously bulky suits—stretched out alongside me, trailing out for mile...
