The Hollywood Reporter has published an interesting article on the film projects that DC Comics has in the works. They mention previously-reported titles The Losers , Jonah Jex , The Green Lantern , and Red , but there's more on others we haven't heard much about lately. Here's a few excerpts: This past fall, Warners quietly hired three of DC's biggest writers -- Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison and Marv...

Not long ago I revisited Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis, with some mention of 52 therein. Although Final Crisis was a disappointment, there's an element of seamlessness to reading those 4 event stories sequentially. They fit, so to speak. So it was something of a surprise in re-reading The Man of Steel just how different the era of Crisis on Infinite Earths was. It makes...

So... Tempest is coming back. I really don't want to be negative about this; I mean, I have nothing against Tempest personally. Okay; that's a bald-faced lie . Tempest -- "Garth" -- is a mess and always has been. Before he was Tempest he was Aqualad, a big-headed purple-eye freak, rejected by society, crippled by fear and doubt, and riddled with insecurities. And that was in the days when...

Almost forgot about this, but I wonder how Marv Wolfman feels about putting Joe Wilson through an editorial mandate and going along with it, in Vigilante #6.I feel very sorry for Joey now. First, he's brought back to life for no good reason other than to service Geoff Johns's "continuity porn", and unlike the past days of the Titans, he can now talk, which takes away from what made him really...

One extremely cool feature of the early issues of Marvel's Crazy Magazine was "Commercials That Drive You Crazy" usually written by Roy Thomas or Marv Wolfman, with art by Marie Severin and others. Ol' Groove thought you'd get a few chuckles from reading a few of them. If you are a true child of the 70s, you'll dig 'em even more 'cause you'll remember the ads they were lampooning. If you're...

From last week's obscure to this week's famous. Not infamous, either. DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths , published starting in spring 1985, is rightfully famous. The mammoth effort of Marv Wolfman in writing, George Perez in drawing and Dick Giordano in inking, with plotting assists by Len Wein and Bob Greenberger, was one of the first major cross over efforts, and a minority in having a lasting effect...

I re-read Curse of Dracula last week, and was wondering to myself why it didn't click; with me, or the general comic-buying public. It's got a strong bloodline, as it were: Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan, two-thirds of the creative team for the classic Marvel Tomb of Dracula . Wolfman points out on the letters page that he took over Tomb at issue #7, so Curse was his chance to create his own version of...
