Star Wars Death Troopers Fan Film Contest
During Comic-Con last month, there were a lot of costumes, but there were more Rorschach and Storm Troopers than I’ve ever seen in one place. One particular posse of Troopers looked like they came from a zombie film. They were covered in blood and looked rather grisly, and cool. It turns out they were promoting [...]
Smallville Season 9
I’ve never really got in to this show. I have watched all of season 6 and half of 7, and a few other episodes here and there. When it premiered the lame villain of the week and romantic confusion just didn’t do it for me. Then it slowly became more epic and once the DC [...]
Avatar Trailer
The trailer for Avatar, James Cameron’s new film permiered on Apple.com last week and was viewed a record-breaking 4 million hits on its first day.

Secret Six’s Secrets

If Tim Burton made [...]
Spoiler And Elseworlds
Looks like I was right, as was everyone else on the comics-related internet. Spoilers ahead (pun intended). Stephanie Brown, AKA the purple costume wearing ex-girlfriend of former Robin Tim Drake is the new Batgirl. From a presumed dead Spoiler to Cassandra Cain’s replacement. Of course, Stephanie was also briefly Robin before she “died.” This now [...]
Olympus #4 Covers
Image’s series Olympus by new writer Nathan Edmondson and artist Christian Ward is kind of like another Image series – Viking. Both series really came from nowhere with a unique premise, a even more unique artistic approach and a bunch of well deserved critical praise. Below are the two covers for Olympus #4, which arrives [...]
100 Wolverines
Some would say 100 Logans just isn’t enough, and they may be right with art like this.

We The People Review
We The People has an intriguing promise and cover, but what happens between the pages is a slight letdown.
