DON’T FORGET, NEW COMICS ON THURSDAY THIS WEEK.

So anyway, I think I’ve made it clear I’m not a big fan of this series. That said, there are a lot of people out there who ADORE this book, and I definitely don’t begrudge them that. There is, after all, a lot to like about this book. It takes a good hard look at what people do with power, and how people with superpowers might behave. And it thumbs its nose HARD at all such aspects.

What’s worth mentioning is that this book has been on a bit of a hiatus for the last few months because DC dropped it like it was on fire. Apparently they didn’t like the Superman analogue having a gerbil in his butt. Or something to that effect. Regardless, not only has the book begun again, but the trade of the first 6 issues is coming out on the exact same day, letting people get caught up with what’s already been released all in one fell swoop.

It’s a solid book, and honestly, if you can handle graphic violence and the sex, you might want to give this one a good try. You’re not likely to be disappointed.

This is the deluxe Autobot Jazz figure for the 2007 Transformers movie. After watching, leave a comment or read more posts about Transformers!

Director Christopher Nolan has announced to USA Today that 4 major action scenes from The Dark Knight, the sequel to Batman Begins, will be filmed in 70mm IMAX film.

I know what you’re thinking: You saw Spider-Man 3, Pirates, Matrix, Star Wars and every other movie available in IMAX for years now. Well this is different, because those features were still shot on 35mm film and simply stretched. No additional detail was made available. By shooting the biggest parts of the movie in IMAX, Nolan will be able to give viewers a real experience you can’t duplicate in a smaller theater or at home.

Of course we don’t know all of what will be big as life in the movie, or how much of the final movie it will be, but Nolan did say the introduction of The Joker would be one of the IMAX scenes. The above image is a slide from that shoot, with two bank robbers wearing clown masks. One of them is the Joker, I’m sure.

This video contains naughty language and jokes only Transformers fans will like.

“Heavy Metal Fight” features Optimus Prime preparing to fight Megatron One-on-One.

Dr Smoov has done some good Transformer spoofs in the past, which you can watch in our previous post.
