He may have resigned as CEO, President and the like from Wizard World. But some have wondered as to what involvement in the company Gareb Shamus. Put bluntly, what exactly does he own? I think it’s fair to say that through a series of events, some public, some not, Gareb Shamus has become tainted in…
Scott Edelman writes for Bleeding Cool; I was reading the December 12 issue of the New York Observer when I spotted something that irked me. What was it in particular that I suddenly felt a need to bring to your attention? Something I saw in a half page ad for the Bernarducci Meisel Gallery. It…
Kudos to Erlingur Gretar for his fascinating interview with Ridley Scott regarding the mysteries, philosophies and design of Prometheus. Scott does trot out some of his favourite lines about the film – and acknowledges that he’s doing so – but he also opens up, brilliantly. It’s worth a read, top-to-bottom, for any amount of revelations,…
Based on the title alone, Stan Lee ought to be annoyed about at least one of these Sharon Moody pieces too, I think. That aside, I’ve heard it said that if Roy Lichtenstein had done his thing in recent times, he’d have been figuratively atomized by lawsuits. Perhaps we’ll see that theory put to the…
Probably best known as the director of eighties horror movie, Chillers, Danny Boyd has moved into graphic novels in a big way of late. As well as the already announced Chillers anthology graphic novel for next year, he also has a new story to tell the year after that. Carbon is about a newly discovered…
To comic book fans, the name Raphael means one thing, and one thing only. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. But when Tony Perottett of Slate.com visited the Vatican, he found something else, something hidden, something previous inhabitants had tried to whitewash over, literally. An erotic comic strip painted across the walls and ceilings of a…
David Demarco, Jason Dasenbrock and Wendy Pivonka owned Legend Comics in Leavenworth Plaza, Omaha. They also owned Legend Coffee one block west in Wohlner’s Grocery Store. Now then have become one. Legend Comics has moved that block to the Wohlner’s Grocery Store area, right next to Legend Coffee and has installed an internal walkway between the two businesses,…

It is easy to get carried away during the holiday seasons. When people spot the perfect gift they sometimes can get dialed in on obtaining it and will go to any length to add it to their stash (even if the gift is for said buyer themselves). Well, the bidding on Friday night’s auction…
Some comics can inspire toys. Some can inspire films. Some can inspire tattoos. But only one that I am aware of has inspired a town’s annual festival. That’s the legacy of Robert Tinnell’s collection of his comic strip, Feast of the Seven Fishes. Eisner Award nominated for Best Reprint, it celebrates an Italian Christmas tradiation, La…
Created to replicate and commemorate the work of Bill Watterson, specificaly the creation of snowmen in a variety of extreme forms in the Calvin And Hobbes winter strips. Enjoy.
My own favourite James Bond is definitely Daniel Craig, and pretty much only on the basis of Casino Royale. I was so taken with his performance there that you could offer me any replacement, and I think I’d stick rather than twist. And for now at least, it seems like Bond producer Michael G Wilson…
The Walt Disney Company and Atlanta National League Ball Club are reported to be in negotiations, trying to sort out a thorny trademark issue. They’ve reportedly been taking meetings for months, and still the dispute continues. None of this would have happened had Pixar’s next picture not had a name change. Once it was being…
UPDATE: Before we get to the story as-was, here’s the actual first poster for the film: Click on it to make it monstrously massive. We can thank Cosmopolis Film for that. Now, back to the original report… David Cronenberg is currently putting the finishing touches to Cosmopolis, his adaptation of the Don De Lillo novel….
Tonight saw the final episode of this year’s Misfits air on E4 in the UK. It still has to be scheduled in the US. I hope the success of the first two series on Hulu, and it’s planned remake won’t somehow conspire to prevent you lot from seeing this third series. Because it tried to…
The chief US press conference for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was held yesterday, and it allowed the ever future-focused blogosphere to get a hold of some sequel-centric bits and pieces. Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara are both signed on to return should Sony greenlight adaptations of the remaining two Millennium novels, but director…

I guess it doesn’t really matter if these are genuine pages from The Dark Knight Rises script supplied by a mole inside Warner Bros., though they allegedly are. What’s important is that they fill in the blanks about what Bane is “saying” during the film’s prologue sequence, playing now in IMAX cinemas across the US….
It’s Saturday, so the grinding wheels of the movie industry have slowed right down. Better still, we’re just eight days from Christmas so there’s plenty of time to take a breather and catch up on some of the last few days’ most interesting video bits and pieces. The second Ghost Rider film played at Butt…
