To my mind, Scott Snyder is one of the most exciting writers in comics today. His take on characters is always fresh, but with an expert's eye watching what's come before. He treats our favorite characters (both those created before like Batman, and those he's created, like Skinner Sweet) with...

DC Comics announced today their new DC Digital initiative, called DC2 and DC2 Multiverse, two brand new methods of comic storytelling for the company.

DC2 layers images together to tell a more complex story in comic panels, but DC2 Multiverse is where the innovation really comes together for this new...

This September, the villains of DC Comics are taking over. We're getting dozens and dozens of stories told from the perspective of the most heinous villains the DC universe has to offer and I have an exclusive look at the nefarious baddies that will be taking over all four of...

Next month sees the release of Guillermo Del Toro's new film Pacific Rim. It pits the world against Kaiju monsters rising up out of the sea and the heroes that fight them in their giant robots, known as Jaegers.

It's a film that the science fiction fan in me...

When it was announced that DC would be revisiting the characters and material created by Alan Moore for The Watchmen, there was a lot of skepticism. Over the course of the last year, we've been treated to thoughtful, well-written, beautifully rendered comics that complement the original novel in ways I...

This week sees the theatrical release of two of Star Trek: The Next Generation's best episodes, stitched together into one movie, The Best of Both Worlds. Next week sees the Blu-ray release of the newly remastered third season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

"The Best...

For a lot of fans, Enterprise must have seemed to be the red-headed step-child of Star Trek shows. It lasted only four seasons and was so difficult to find on television because of trouble inside the Paramount TV operation that to many it seemed to fall by the way side....

Grant Morrison killed Batman and Robin.

Batman came back, but it seems as though this Robin is dead for good. There have been a few different deaths of Batman's greatest ally, but none have been as meaningful to one single writer as this one has. For those not following along,...

In honor of the 25th anniversary Blu-ray release of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (which is in the running for the best film ever directed by Robert Zemeckis) I was given the extreme pleasure of interviewing the voice of Roger Rabbit himself, Charles Fleischer. In the intervening 25 years,...

I saw this floating around on Facebook and clicked on the link to debunk the "confirmation" of this rumor. To be honest, it looks legit, but Carrie Fisher has been known to be flippant with the press.

She was doing the press rounds for a speech called the "Old Bags...

The usual gang of idiots over at MAD Magazine know that the best way to get eyeballs on their work is to forcibly take over the space held by better, more popular books.

As a birthday present for Alfred E. Neuman (whose birthday is April Fool's Day, go figure) they...

I have been given the go ahead by Lucasfilm to reveal here exclusively that Tim Curry has joined the cast of Star Wars: The Clone Wars in the role of Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sidious. Tim Curry might be best known for his roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Clue,...

I just received an email and a survey from Amazon's KDP program asking me a number of questions.

Every single question was geared toward determining what I have done to market my books. From writing in this place and on my personal blog to hiring publicists and sending...

The usual gang of idiots over at MAD Magazine have set their sights on the world of animation for their next issue and asked us if we'd share this preview of the list.

I asked John Ficarra, the editor-in-chief of MAD why they chose cartoons, to which he told...

DC Comics has been on the cutting edge of trying bold, new things for that last few years and this announcement is no exception. With these two brand new titles, DC Comics is taking the themes and issues that came to the surface with the Occupy Wall Street movement and...

DC Comics caused a bit of a row when it was announced that they would be creating new comics in Alan Moore's Watchmen Universe, but the criticism has gone mute in the wake of some truly good comics.

Of note is comics superstar Darwyn Cooke's silver age feeling...

I haven't figured out who is the bigger sadist: is it the Joker for the horrifying paces he's put Batman and his entire family of allies through? Or is it the man writing the actions of the Joker, Scott Snyder?

In this latest issue of Batman, #16, which hit stores...

The usual gang over at MAD Magazine have been hard at work (not likely) on their year-end list of the 20 dumbest things from 2012. Despite all the odds, they've decided to prove their relevance once more.

They've offered us an exclusive look at number two on their dumb list,...

Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome is a ten episode web series currently airing on Machinima. It's a slick look at the events that made William Adama a man for the first time. It begins with his first day on the Galactica as a young, hot-headed pilot and through his first...

Ridley Scott's Alien is arguably one of the greatest science fiction films ever to grace the big screen. It was a horrifying nail-biter that redefined what films of that nature could do. That's a fairly well-known fact. What's less well-known is how incredible the licensed comic book adaptation of the...
