    Comic Books (And The Movies / Shows Based On Them)

    I am embarrassed to say, i am reading this for the 1st time. According to many, the greatest (and definitely weirdest) graphic novel ever written, The Incal. Author is Jodorowsky (as in El Topo, The Holy Mountain), and this is where a lot of his work that was for his never-filmed version of...

    I now have to track down all of this version and watch it. Love the cheesy effects. I have at least four print versions and 2 film versions of the Monkey King/Journey to the West. There is even a version of him in Marvel comics (he doesn't look like a monkey there, but his name is Sun Wukong...

    Even though he is officially dead, a bunch of new Deadpool is coming: Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars (Deadpool inserted into the original Secret Wars) comes out tomorrow. He's due to show up in Ultimate Spider-man Web Warriors #8 in June. Is rumored to be making an appearance in the new Secret...

    Back in the 70s, things were a little better on the credits side (though not the money). At least part of the settlement is Jack will now be credited on everything he should be - he is prominently in the credits in Age of Ultron and Agents of SHIELD.

    To Any Scotch or Bourbon drinkers.....

    I haven't picked up any of the Monkey Shoulders yet, but it's the next bottle I'm picking up. As a blend of Balvenie, Glenfiddich and Kininvie, I don't see how it could be bad. And you somehow managed to find a version of the Monkey King (a.k.a. Stone Monkey, Sun Wukong, etc) I haven't seen...

    Awesome news! And I was literally about to cancel my hulu subscription. Gotta binge on this first. @Vicki - I have heard Stan is really nice in person. But I gotta say I dislike him over his role in Jack Kirby getting screwed out of money and credit. Marvel only settled with the Kirbys this...

    Turns out George R.R. Martin's first published work was a fan letter addressed to Lee & Kirby in an issue of Fantastic Four. And he was a comic book dude from quite early- this was in FF #20. And there was an animatic of an alternate opening to Winter Soldier making the rounds, but like the...

    HOLY SHIT!! That may be the coolest thing I have EVER seen. A geek Holy Grail. If I had a kid, I'd trade him or her for real ST:TOS dilithium crystals, which I would then worship. If I could, I would LOVE rather than just LIKE your post. I too am from a whole Trek family. When I was kid, I...

    Was 2nd only to Star Trek as my favorite show when I was a kid. There are actually references to this show all over Marvel - repeated uses of 'you wouldn't like me when I'm ____' - in movies, in comics, in the cartoons (one of my favorites, Deadpool- "You wouldn't like me when I'm cranky"...

    1st images of Jared Leto as the Joker interacting with Robbie's Harley Quinn from SUicide Squad. There was a video leaked as well, but Warner Brothers pulled it to quickly for me to post it here...

    So in a real sense, Arrow IS over- according to Amell, "No more Arrow suit"- he will never be in the green hood again? How is this any version of Green Arrow anymore...

    That is some excellent info. I had not heard the creators talk about the intended outcome before. Let me know if you find John Doe available digitally anywhere. I've never been able to find it streaming, for download, or on DVD. It is very comic book-y. A dude (Purcell) turns up knowing damn...

    Not just him, his brother from Prison Break too, Dominic Purcell, who I've loved since he did John Doe.

    Legends of Tomorrow (Arrow / The Flash team spinoff) trailer. They goddamn bring Sara back to life as White Canary (who, in the comics, is a villain from another universe with, as far as I know, no connection to Black Canary). I'll try it cuz Arthur Darvill is in it.

    So what did folks think of the weird-ass season finale of Arrow? None of the other finales struck me as odd, but that one did. Liked the finales of both Gotham and The Flash. But Arrow felt like a series finale to me, despite there being a 4th season already being written and with a bad guy...

    Supergirl TV show trailer. For some reason Calista Flockhart (sp?) is on the show. And there's a Jimmy Olson, who is a go-between for Supergirl and her cousin Superman (cuz you can't just speak to your cousin?). But I'm neither a DC nor a Super-whoever fan so I don't really care.
