Justice League finally back after Crisis

JLACv1_PREVIEWS_t.jpgThey’re getting the band back together, man.
Newsarama readers contributed 19 pages of questions to the new Justice League writer Brad Meltzer. He answered every single one.
Part One is online now, with more Q&A later in the week.
Justice League of America relaunches tomorrow with #0, with Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman rebuilding the shattered team from scratch. Meltzer won’t reveal who will make the cut, but after his fascinating work on “Identity Crisis” in 2004, I can’t think of a better person to determine the future of the team.

Bandai acquires rights to live action Cutie Honey movie

Anime on DVD reports that Bandai has acquired the rights to the live action Cutie Honey movie. This movie by Hideaki Anno of Evangelion fame is a live action version of the popular comic and manga. It’s an over the top action/comedy/drama movie that’s hard to compare to anything else but is certainly worth checking out.

Thanks to Dave for the heads up.



CKY the comic

ckycomic.jpgCKY as a band have been plagued with bad reviews throughout their career, but that never stopped the fans from supporting them.
However, CKY has never been plagued by Zombies, so who knows where the breaking point is.
Unkown comics is preparing a CKY comic for August with a $3.99 cover price. While the band is now the more well known side of CKY, I wonder if stars of the CKY videos (Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Brandom Dicamillo, etc) will make appearances in the book.
Listen to CKY



Blade: The Series

Blade: The Series - LogoTonight Spike TV premiered Blade: The Series in a 2 hour “limited commercial interruption” event following UFC 937 or someting.

The premier holds much promise for this series which follows the style of the world of Blade as we see it in the movie so well that it almost seemed as if they were reusing some of the sets. The action is certainly there and is helped by effects, while understandeably not of a the calibre of a high budget Hollywood movie, are great for a tv series.

Blade: The SeriesThe story appears solid though it remains to be seen if it can keep us interested for weeks to come. Blade’s backstory is the same as the one we already know with some minor changes. It’s unclear where this movie takes place with respect to the movies though I get the impression it starts off around the same point as the first movie did and will evolved differently. The premier story, which is setting the scene for the TV series, centers around the character of Krista, played by smokin’ hot newcommer Jill Wagner, who in tracking down the death of her brother gets caught up in the world of Vampires.

Most of the cast including the star, rapper Sticky Fingaz, is composed of relatively unknown actors with the obscure exception of screen legend Randy Quaid as Professor Melvin Caylo. The cast delivers a solid performance and shows that you don’t need big names to get a good story across.

A preview for next week’s episode as well as things to come in the future of the series were shown. The only other star I reckognised from the bunch was The Big Hit star Bokeem Woodbine. It’s looking like the rest of the season will offer the same fun action packed story and amazing visual style we’ve gotten a taste of. I’d certainly recommend checking this series out if you have a chance.

The premier episode will be rerunning this Saturday, July 1st, at 4pm. The show’s regular timeslot is Wednesday night at 10pm.

I’d have to say that “Blade: The Series” is surely the best comic based motion picture to be released on June 28th 2006.



Spider-man 3 Teaser available today

Spider-man 3 TeaserSony Pictures has a press release stating that Apple Trailers will be hosting the first Teaser Trailer to Spider-man 3 at 2:30 PM EST today. It seems as though it has already been leaked onto YouTube, but I couldn’t find the exact one because of so many fan-made trailers. I can’t seem to find a link to this mysterious press release at the moment either, but when I do, I’ll update this post.

I also came across some more pictures from the set here.

See the trailer now here.



Iron Man movie release date announced

Marvel_logo.jpgMarvel’s Iron Man will be making his cinematic debut May 2nd, 2008. We mentioned a while back that Jon Favreau will be directing. From the press releases, it sounds they’ll be changing his origin a bit from the original. It sounds like the direction they’re going sets up a pretty good replacement origin, though. Judgement will be made in May of 2008!
