It’s a busy Monday, and there’s a couple of worthwhile bits of entertainment news of interest for the comics crowd: – I’ve been pretty vocal about this in the past, but I was never the biggest fan of Pacific Rim, despite some very nice Guy Davis concept work, and that neon Blade Runner aesthetic that […]

To get the obvious stuff out of the way, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a terrible movie. I mean, you didn't need me to tell you that, right? It's been out for three weeks, and the reviews have been so uniformly terrible that its 28% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes actually seems a bit high. And before that consensus formed, there were the pre-release reviews, which were if anything

While many remember The Death of Superman story line at DC, I remember the death of Superman’s red trunks in during The New 52 with more anger– it seems as though the publisher is trying to leave behind a key element of the character’s design. Artist Tom Derenick (Batman/Superman) has posted a better look at Jim Lee’s […]

Warner Bros. Pictures has unleashed a new full trailer for the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film adaptation. The video embedded above features scenes with Henry Cavill as Superman (a.k.a. Clark Kent), Ben Affleck as Batman (a.k.a. Bruce Wayne), and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.
Here’s more from The Huffington Post: “A new trailer debuted Wednesday on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ and it has everyone freaking out. In addition to showing Batman and Superman meeting for the first time, we see Lex Luthor putting himself at the center of the conflict between the superheroes. Also, though there isn’t a Joker appearance, Joker is referenced when Bruce Wayne says, ‘Maybe it’s the Gotham City in me. We just have a bad history with freaks dressed like clowns.'”
Indiewire reports that this film adaptation, helmed by Zack Snyder, will come out on March 25, 2016. Follow these links to watch the first teaser, the second teaser, and the first trailer. Who’s your favorite comic book super hero? (via USA Today)

Dave, I’d match HAL JORDAN to GL, and the LanternS book to GLC, personally — GL was always the Hal title, and GLC the “Not Hal”
Interesting is the five-years-ago figures (from just before the New 52 started) versus now. So in spite of all the “darker and edgier” New 52 revamps, “DC You,” “Convergence,” and other changes, the only characters to see a rise in sales figures since then are Batman (who’d probably sell well anyway), Superman, Batgirl, Constantine, and… Scooby-Doo? Interesting that in sales growth percentages, Scoob and the gang are one of DC’s main successes…
Scooby Doo Apocalypse was a lot better than I could imagine. It inspired me to buy the other similar books. Nice surprise in fun and entertaining reading
I’m really surprised by Unfollow. It’s a great book, full of mystery, intrigue, and plenty of weirdness! It’s a perfect Vertigo title! Why is no one buying this thing?
Nahan: bad marketing strategies. I probably would have been interested but no interior art was visible in the Previews (I think), price of the vertigo floppy was upped 33% just before and they didn’t made any effort on the price of the first paperback as they used to.
And launching a serie demanding such a very long run of issued to be correctly mamanged (the counter can’t drop from 140 to 10 in 2 issues) at a time were any new launch making it past issue 12 is a miracle was perhaps a little too risky.
Nathan: I’m buying it. And it is the perfect Vertigo title. It reminds me of Air by Wilson & Perker from a few years back, gives me that same feeling of those cool little books poking their heads out between Sandman and Preacher and Animal Man and Fables, you know? That…Vertigo feeling…mmm…
