According their official website the new Gargoyles comic was meant to be released this past Wednesday June 14th 2006… yet here we are. According to more reliable sources it will in fact be released this coming Wednesday, June 21st 2006. After such a time I will have a proper review. Until then please enjoy this stupid review of old crap mainly the old Gargoyles comic, a French Gargoyles comic or “Bande Desiné” as we call them and also a colouring book (seriously aDam? A colouring book?)

As the video resolution is fairly sub par I have included a few sample high mediocre quality scans of the reviewed items.

iF Magazine spoke with recently resigned Marvel Entertainment head Avi Arad about upcoming film projects he’s working on for Marvel. In additon to breaking news that the next Hulk movie will be a complete “do-over” of the first one, he also says new cartoons for Spider-Man, Wolverine And The X-Men, Fantastic Four, and even Iron Man after that movie is done.
And he clarifies some of this ToyBiz confusion as well:

iF: Switching to toys how do the new HASBRO toy lines look in comparison to the previous TOY BIZ lines?
ARAD: TOY BIZ is very involved in the design of the toys, but the distribution will be through HASBRO. The scale isn’t going to change.

Maybe Marvel Legends isn’t in as much danger as I thought, because Hasbro seems to have no trouble getting mountains of Star Wars, GI Joe and Transformers to market…

Spawn.com announced they’ll be rolling out toys (or figures or statues or whatever) based on the hit show “Lost.”

Charlie is the only one revealed so far, but the first wave will include Jack, Kate, Locke, Hurley, and the late Shannon.
Sawyer and Mr Eko will be in the second set, and The Hatch will also be represented in a diorama form.

I can only pray for some kind of sound chip for Sawyer so he can dole out one-liners and nick-names to other characters.

Animation legend Alex Toth died Saturday May 27 at the age of 78.

Toth is best known for character designs on Space Ghost, SeaLab 2020, Johnny Quest and SuperFriends. His pen defined Hanna-Barbara cartoons of the 60s and 70s, and lives on in Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim programming bloc, with Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and SeaLab 2021.

PvP’s Scott Kurtz reports Alex Toth died at the drawing table. It is a fitting tribute to his own enduring talent that he continued to create until his final breath.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Toth. You’ll be missed.

ohh… DuckTales!

SyFyPortal shared some comments about Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica made by James Callis, the actor who portrays Dr. Gaius Baltar. From what he says the series will take a darker turn than what we’ve already seen.

“In the upcoming episodes, the simplest way to explain what happens is that the wheat is separated from the chaff,” Callis said in an interview at this month’s Saturn Awards in Universal City, Calif. “I’m not actually sure at this moment which I belong to, which bothers me, whether I’m the wheat or the chaff. All I know is that we are necessarily separated.”

“And the first few scripts of this particular season are phenomenal,” he said, “and far darker and more gritty and more worrying than anything that you have seen before. I really am not just saying that. I remember just reading it going, ‘My God almighty, this is remorseless and relentless.’ And as such should be very gripping television. Even though it’s very, I think, the word is dystopic.”

People still kinda tilt their head in confusion when I talk about goals at powet.tv. Granted, we haven’t produced a LOT of video content, but we’ve done some, and the largest posting to date is uploading as I type this.
Wired magazine has stepped in with a guide to television on the inter-net. They cover the best places to get it, the best shows to watch, and even how to create your own content. From RocketBoom to RedVsBlue, there’s obviously more good TV on the net these days than on actual TV. Just what am I paying my cable bill for anyway?

Gateworld bring us news that Sci-Fi has announced a spin-off to the popular Battlestar Galactica series named Caprica. The series will take place 50 years before the mini-series of Galactica and follow the Adama family and the creation of the Cylons.
From the announcement:

The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but where high-technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for the better. But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur, one that will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot — a Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the commander of the Battlestar Galactica) Caprica weaves corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television’s first science fiction family saga.

Ron Moore and David Eick are said to be producing.
