Back in July we found out the fans won out with their demand to continue the original Transformers comic series, picking up from issue 81.

That book is being “ReGeneration One” and is being written by longtime TF scribe Simon Furman with Andrew Wildman providing artwork in his original early 90s style. IDW comics publisher Chris Ryall has tweeted a colored interior page of the book without text. Ultra Magnus makes his US debut and Optimus Prime retains his Action Master form in this direct continuation of the events in the Marvel Transformers comic #80.

See here the cover and that interior page from issue 80.5, available on Free Comic Book Day

Our interest of course began when we heard one of Pixar’s brightest was making his live action debut, but after the first trailer, we got excited.

Now Disney has released a second trailer, highlighting more action and far more Martian creatures. The first teaser contained a symphonic excerpt of “My Body Is A Cage” by Peter Gabriel, and this one is much more recognizable “Kashmir” originally recorded by Led Zepplin and preformed in this clip by the classical quartet Bond.

aDam, Ernie, Zac, and Zero go off topic for an hour.

We’ll talk about Black Friday, Wikipedia, Rugrats, Super Mario, Saints Row The Third, Gears of War, Batman, and much more.

Let us know if you think this episode was not as good, just as good, or better than previous episodes. Because we didn’t plan this one at all and if we can avoid that in the future, we can save a lot of time.

End music: “i’m gone” by Kenna

Booster Gold, a football player from the future who traveled back in time for fame and fortune as a super hero, may be getting his own Syfy (SciFi Channel) original series. This was reported earlier today on The Hollywood Reporter.

Greg Berlanti, of this summer’s could-have-been-better Green Lantern, will produce and Andrew Kreisberg of Fringe will write the pilot. The same team also took a stab at THQ’s Red Faction video game series for Syfy earlier this year before the game publisher shut down the franchise.

A pilot for a proposed one hour weekly has been ordered, but no casting has been discussed yet. Eric Martsolf played Booster Gold in an episode of Smallville in the final season. Tom Everett Scott played the character in a single (great) episode of Justice League Unlimited, and reprised the role many times on Batman: The Brave And The Bold.

Booster’s best super buddy, The Blue Beetle, is not mentioned. Many, many volumes of this admitted second string DC hero are available both from his many solo adventures from his time in the Justice League. You can read almost any of them and they’re pretty good.

If you listened to our latest podcast, Star Wars vs Star Trek, you’ll know “Where My Heart Will Take Me” is a running joke.
aDam graciously recorded vocals and now you can see the improved theme song to “Enterprise” right here on Powet at the video above.

You can like Star Trek. You can like Star Wars. You can’t like both equally.

We have scientifically determined which of these two mammoth space based franchises is better once and for all. We discuss all the finer points, the stuff that makes us most happy and most sad, and keep a running score.

Zac, aDam, Sean, and Cap attack this topic and turn in the longest podcast ever. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be shocked at the results.

On Halloween I constructed a crude but satisfying Green Lantern costume. I was pretty proud of it, and took my daughter out trick-or-treating. But, I still hadn’t seen the movie. Missed it in theaters, and hadn’t had a chance to watch the DVD yet.

And then I did watch it and… oh boy.

I wouldn’t say this was the worst movie ever, but it definitely had some really odd choices and some really bland parts. But! I will say that Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond was both ruined and saved this movie. His hammy odd ball freak performance ran against everything else the direction, story, and other actors were trying to convey… but since they were all so bland, he was the only one with any life.

So I made this video. Enjoy.

It goes live very soon. This post will be updated with more information as soon as we’re able to see it.
