Johnny Gigawatt and the Tiger Men from Mars We are Plague Carriers

WHY DEADPOOL?

Deadpool #900 is coming out soon, but why this particular hero? Why has he held up for so long? And how is it that Marvel has managed to get him into almost as many books as Wolverine?

KIRKMAN TALKS ABOUT WAKING DEAD ON TV

He sounds happy, which makes this Tiger Man happy. Looking forward to how this series turns out!

MARVEL AND DC, COMING IN A BIT MORE EVEN

Oh monthly numbers, how interesting you can be. How much conjecture can we pull from them this time, hmmmm?

MANAPUL JOINING JOHNS ON 'THE FLASH'

Francis Manapul earned raves for his debut issue of Adventure Comics.  So DC is moving him off of that and onto the new Flash book, with the ubiquitous Geoff Johns penning both books, of course.  It also sounds like Johns will be leaving Adventure Comics after #6 as well.  

SUPERMAN, OR THE PUNISHER?

So Tom Welling will be donning a costume during the upcoming season of Smallville.  But it won't be the costume we're used to.


Yeah, if you didn't know better you'd think he was the Punisher and not the Man of Steel.    

EBOOK READER WITH COMIC VIEWER

Well I'll be damned. Looks like the next Kindle-inspired eBook reader it supporting comic reading. It's all translated from one of those fancy foreign languages, but that picture in the article speaks volumes. Or does it speak "issues"?

MARVELMAN REPRINTS COMING?

We're not talking just the oldest material, but it looks as though the Moore and Gaimen material will come back to life as well. Well, we hope. :)

RAMBO'S NEXT OPPONENT: ALIENS...SPACE ALIENS

Not strictly comic news, but too cool awful not to mention.  Apparently Rambo's next movie will see him going up against honest to god space aliens.   

"John Rambo could track anyone - or anything - on earth. Now the military desperately needs him for a mission that his ultrasensitive instincts tell him he should refuse. A beast is loose somewhere north of the Arctic Circle. It has already decimated a secret research facility and annihilated a squad of elite military guards. And the raging creature is headed south toward civilization, ready to wreak bloody devastation.

It's a job that Rambo and his 22-year-old hunting partner, Beau Brady, can't turn down, but they and a team of highly-skilled special forces kill team discover that the prey is a terror beyond their wildest imagination - a half-human abomination created by a renegade agency through a series of outlawed genetic experiments. It has man's cunning, a predator's savageness, and a prehistoric power that has transcended the ages. And even if Rambo and Beau survive its unrelenting hunger for human blood, they'll still have to confront the grim reality that it may have grown immortal."
