I love fan-made media. My friends and I all did fan-made stories and comics when we were kids, and I absolutely grok the urge to create your own stories using characters and settings that you love passionately. I particularly love well-done fan-made media. This fan-made mock trailer for an imagined Green Lantern movie, starring Nathan [...]
I saw Watchmen this afternoon. I think it’s an outstanding adaptation of the comic and I think it’s a terrific movie. I think it’s perfectly cast, especially Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach. Yes, they changed the ending of the comic, although the effect is still the same. And honestly, I think the film ending works [...]
Wil Wheaton got to see Watchmen and says it’s “fucking awesome.” So, I’m not at all worried about how the movie has turned out and I can’t wait to see it. WATCHMEN!!!
I’ve loved Tony DiTerlizzi‘s art since I first saw it in Planescape and Changeling books. His picture books Jimmy Zangwow’s Out-of-This-World Moon-Pie Adventure and Ted are two of my favorite children’s books. Plus, we were both born in California in 1969 and seem to have similar influences, so…I’m a fan. But, oh boy, do I [...]
In 1997, CBS produced a pilot for a Justice League of America TV show. It was apparently never aired in the US, which is probably one of the main reasons I only just recently even learned about it. I managed to get a copy of it and watched it last night. Boy, am I glad [...]
When I was a kid, I wrote and drew a lot of comics. It was one of my burning passions, and I still kick myself for giving up drawing. (I gave it up because it got too hard. I didn’t want to have to practice, I just wanted to be able to draw the things [...]
I’ve been as skeptical as anyone about the upcoming Watchmen movie. Maybe I’ve been burned too many times, but I just don’t trust Hollywood to make a superhero movie, especially adapting an actual comic book story, without screwing it up. But with that in mind, I have to admit, the footage I’ve seen looks pretty [...]
When Heroes premiered two years ago, I was excited but cautious. Too many shows that appeared promising either failed to live up to their potential, or they were as good (or better) than I’d expected, only to be cancelled just as I got attached to them. Heroes didn’t disappoint me and it did surprisingly well [...]
The mid-to-late-1980s was the beginning of something new. I had been a comics fan as far back as I could remember, but I had always bought my comics from whatever drug store or convenience store was around. But in the mid-80s, I bought an issue of a magazine about comics (I can’t remember which one) [...]
