Alex Ross' JLA #12 Cover
May 22, 2007Yowza yow. Here's a little peek at Art Deity Alex Ross' team lineup cover for JLA #12. It was posted on Brad Metzler's Myspace Page.
Check the awesome symmetry of Reddy's billowing cape on one side, and Hawkgirl's impressive wingspan on the other. Dude knows what he's doing.
The DC website displays the image below for JLA #12's cover, so I guess they'll be cutting it up for variants. TRAVESTY! Give us a trifold! Or a quadfold. Quatrafold?

Spandex Overload: "JLA" Movie in the Works?
July 30, 2007
I’ve long said that the comic book movie that was in the most need of being made, out of the characters not yet tapped for a live-action movie, was "The Avengers." I would put "Justice League of America" as a close second. If the rumors are true, a live-action "JLA" movie may be happening.
Word has it that Kieran and Michele Mulroney have been tapped by D.C. to pen the script for the movie. One obvious question springing from this news is will Routh/Bale play Superman/Batman, as one would...

JLA Gets Director and.... Death?
August 2, 2007
Rumors abound today that the JLA movie that has been whispered about (and blabbed about in my column last week) has found a director. The word on the street is that George Miller, best known for directing “Mad Max” and “Happy Feet,” will be directing the Justice League movie. Hmm… from “Happy Feet” to “Justice League of America”… that’s a rather odd juxtaposition.
As odd as that transition may be for him, at least this is the guy who brought us “Mad Max” so that gives some hope (although it was...

Remembering Mike Wieringo
August 15, 2007
The comic-book world was at a loss last week with the loss of Mike Wieringo to a heart attack at the young age of 44.
Wieringo was best known for his penciling work on flagship titles such as "The Flash," "Fantastic Four," "Superman," and "Spider-Man." He is also well remembered for creating his own magical pirate title, "Tellos" under the Image imprint, and the Gorilla Comics branch of Image co-founded by Wieringo.
The quality of his work is evidenced by the outpouring of emotion following his...

Justice League of America Beats Up Superman
August 18, 2007
Well, sort of. Yesterday saw some infinitely interesting information come out regarding a massive hurry-up by the Warner studio of the Justice League of America movie, potentially pushing back or abandoning the upcoming Superman: Man of Steel sequel. Odds are, between those two options, this news only signals a push back of the Supes solo story, considering much work and money has already been pumped into the project. Officially, Warner Bros. contends that Man of Steel is still on track, which is all...

JLA=CGI?
August 23, 2007
Word on the street Thursday has it that the upcoming Justice League of America movie will not, in fact, be a live action movie. Rather, IESB is reporting on what sounds to be fairly reliable rumors that the movie will be a CGI/motion-capture affair. This could make for an interesting movie feel (I've actually always wanted "Kingdom Come" to be done in this manner on screen, so this is probably as close as I'm ever going to get) and would obviously make it easier to pull this movie and "Superman...

JLA Movie Rumors Continue ...
August 27, 2007
This week has been absolutely abuzz with D.C. comic-movie news, and today is no different. Following up on the JLA mo-cap/CGI story from earlier this week, IESB has done a little more digging on the situation and is now reporting that JLA will be a mix of CGI and live action, with the CGI being used to render the OMACS and the underwater scenes. Good news for those fans who were terrified of the prospects of a wholly CGI movie.
Also reported today is that Routh and Bale will not play Superman and... -
Superman Returns ... With a Better Movie
August 28, 2007
It's funny how the comic book/movie rumor mill works. Two weeks ago, it was a streaming flood of Marvel news, one piece of news after another, day after day. This week has decidedly been a D.C. week, with no signs of stopping today with a new "rumor" regarding the anticipated return of Singer behind the camera of "Superman."
Film Ick is reporting this is more than a rumor, citing that this comes from reliable inside sources, and given their track record, I believe them. From the sound of it, the... -
Comic Book Reviews: Invincible #48, JLA #18 and Superman Confidential #12
February 18, 2008More Newsarama Sneak Reviews coming your way!
For this episode, we got our hands on Invincible #48, where we found a nice assortment of regulars from the Image universe. Atom Eve is back and although this book is short on story, we still recommending picking it up.
Justice League of America #18 is a follow-up on the story line where the villains were sent to prison on another planet. It's a decent issue but we think it serves as filler and hope there's better stuff coming.
Then in Superman Confidential...

Walk the Line
March 14, 2008
Why does it fascinate us as readers to read about the anti-heroes of the comic world? What does it mean to "Walk the Line" between justice and frenetic crime-fighting? Because who among us hasn't wished metaphorically for the power to strike down our enemies (be them imaginary or real). These types of characters like The Punisher, Wolverine, and the Red Hood all throw out the "crime fighting for conventional superheroes" book. The take it to the streets and play by their own rules....

Death of the New Gods Finale
March 19, 2008
The New Gods have been dropping like flies for the past several months courtesy of DC Comics and the creative talents of Jim Starlin, Matt Banning, and Jeromy Cox. It all started way back when Jimmy Olsen started acting a little strange and people started getting their hearts ripped out (hell of a way to go). Now the limited run is reaching it's end and things are only speeding up. What's going on you say? Way back when Darkseid got wise to the whole plot of the Source and the Anti-Life Equation,...

Richard Donner Lends his Talents to the DCU
May 4, 2008
Every time I think about Superman I think about the Christopher Reeve Superman. I suppose that's because I'm a child of the 80s. That and the Donner flicks were just so darn good. We'll just ignore the other "sequels" as heresy and focus on the good movie(s) (including the Donner Cut of Superman 2). It seems as though DC isn't finished with Mr. Donner yet, because he's lending his pen and paper to the Action Comics Annual #11 being released this wednesday. Now Action Comics has always been...

May 5, 2008
Don't throw away your ticket stubs yet, Iron Man was only the beginning in a long line of summer blockbusters. Next up this week is Speed Racer the next big release from the Wachowski Brothers. This film has been working toward the big screen since 1992, and it's finally made it here. Early trailers show a highly stylized view of the Racer Universe, and speculation about the quality of the film is optimistic.
Here's a bit of comic cross-over trivia for you. Superman Director and now Action...
