March 13, 2012 11:19 pm You beat me posting that excellent article. Disney has widely gotten thumbs down for the marketing of John Carter but the majority of those problems rested on director Andrew Stanton's shoulders.Read the article for the arrogant decisions he had final say on. Creators often dismiss studio marketing, sometimes rightly so, but many of them know what they're doing in selling a film.

March 10, 2012 2:57 pm Whoa. They adapted The Flash #1 (1987). Great obscure story.

February 20, 2012 1:12 pm Charles Xavier's dream of mutants and regular people living together equally was one of comics' highpoints, a sci-fi commentary on civil rights. Weak editorial oversight allowed writers to take the low road revealing one-right-after-another hidden secrets that've ruined the character. It's like the people who keep printing dirt about JFK or MLK decades after their deaths. This is why I stopped reading X-Men.

January 31, 2012 4:13 pm I know Gaiman is held in higher esteem than McFarlane but this lawsuit always seemed greedy and shady to me. McFarlane's mistake was that he had an oral contract instead of the industry-standard work-for-hire contract.

January 25, 2012 6:23 pm @Ryan Because he's Canadian, not a Ruskie. Culture plays a big part of your drink of choice. So it's beer. He's doing this so he can stand to be around a group of people. Imagine you sense of taste is so great, you kiss a bar floozie and know what she ate. Revolting. Logan is essentially slumming and needs beer goggles if he wants human contact. This makes sense when you think about Wolverine's love of samurai Japan. It was a culture obsessed with cleanliness. (James Clavell's "Shogun" does a great job illustrating how filthy westerners were versus Japanese.) You rarely saw him drunk on sakai in those flashbacks.

January 25, 2012 12:19 pm Exactly the opposite. Much like the explanation of why Wolverine smokes awful cigars (so he can bear the stink of regular people), Wolverine would just want something to dull his senses. With his healing factor, getting drunk is not impossible but it is difficult. So quantity over quality is what he's going for. That's why he's always shown drinking lots of working class beers. Logan will get whatever's cheapest: Bud, Miller, Coors, Pabst.

January 23, 2012 12:43 pm Also, Warner Bros. did release the Lynda Carter series on DVD. Those still hold up as a kids show.

January 23, 2012 12:37 pm Watch this Wonder Woman spot on Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Repeat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyKXBxK82LE&feature=player_embedded

January 19, 2012 12:43 pm "And so, in addition to flexibility, the new logo communicates this idea of dual identity: There’s more than meets the eye. You have to take a closer look to understand the richness of our characters and stories." That's a line that takes me back to college where some blowhard professors read too much into things. It's a logo! Can people clearly see it stands for DC? No. Fail.

January 17, 2012 12:41 pm Does this remind anyone else of the Warner Bros. logo? In the 70s and 80s, Warner Bros. in attempt to seem more modern, kept messing with their logo. In the 90s they came to their senses and went back to the classic WB-shield. Bring back the 1976 DC-bullet! It was timeless.
