Something thats kind of ticking me off about Marvel lately. How they spread characters out over every possible book they can. Look at Wolverine, currently he’s hanging with the New Avengers while helping rebuild Xavier’s school over in Astonishing, also in the Savage land fighting Dino-humans in Uncanny Xmen and I think he’s under quarantine in Xmen because of something Emma did with some mutant life form’s brain. Just seems like a bit much for one guy. Is this the Wolverine Clone saga? I know it’s a marketing thing to have your most popular characters in as many books as you can, but come on. It’s not like he can drop what he’s doing in the savage land because the avengers need him. Or break quarantine to go to the savage land.
Now I fear they’re doing the same thing with Spider-Man. It already erks me that he doesn’t talk about the Green Goblin coming back in Spectacular while we’re in the Amazing book. Now we’re going to have another Spider-Man book (see the Peter David post before this one) that we’ll completely ignore except in that book. I never considered myself a continuity guy, but I guess when Aunt May’s house burns down in Amazing I think he should be a little ticked about it in other books.
Read this on Peter David’s Blog today. Here’s the quote from his page:
When “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” the new Spidey series coming from Marvel late this summer, hits the stands, it will be launching with a different creative team than previously announced: Mike Wieringo as artist, and yours truly as writer.
Should be pretty good, I’ll be picking it up. I like(d) his multiple Hulk runs. But I’m also enjoying Amazing Spider-Man by J. Michael Straczynski. One thing I don’t like about Marvel these days is they like to spread the character thin. I started ranting on this topic for a while so I think I’ll make it a new post.
Found this article on google news. Talks about a Star Wars TV series, both animated and Live action. It will not however go past episode 6. Lucas claims he never foresaw taking this story further than the Death of Darth Vader.
“It’s the Darth Vader story. It starts with him being a young boy and it ends with him dying. I never ever really considered ever taking that particular story further.”
The live action TV series would take place between episodes III and IV.

OMG D00D! … Ok I’ve settled down now. Superman Homepage recently posted up an image of the new superman costume. Few things I don’t like about it. The “S” seems rather small on the chest. The belt seems a little low, and the boots also seem kind of low. It looks more like the 40’s Superman than it does the Modern one. Here’s the pick:

I’ve read my fair share of stupid computer things in the past, but this one makes me laugh more than the rest. It seems this “hacker” wanted to get back at this guy because he dropped from this channel… yeah… (more…)
Just a rumor I saw on SSH
A while back Ain’t-It-Cool-News broke the story that Thomas Hayden Church will indeed be playing SANDMAN and that here’s a ton of Sandman conceptual art all over the Spidey-offices.
Well today ‘Anonymous’ tells us the following: “Yes the Sandman will be in Spider-Man 3 but he’s not the only villain. And no it isn’t Black Cat like some people were suggesting. It will be SANDMAN AND HOBGOBLIN”
