Jericho Ads Appear More Often On TV Than Jericho

How many times does the world have to end for people to accept it? If you’re talking about fans of CBS’ failed apocalypse drama Jericho, the answer would appear to be “at least three.” Apparently the cancellation, fan-outcry-inspired resurrection and subsequent re-cancellation of the show haven’t dulled their appetites to make Skeet Ulrich America’s favorite…

9 Unknowns We Want to See in the Avengers Movie

Jon Favreau may have spilled the unsurprising beans on who the movie version of Marvel’s Avengers consists of, but what does he know? He may not even be making Iron Man 2: This Time, He’s Rusty! We here at io9 would rather see a movie that builds around the core franchise heroes with some lesser-known…

China Takes Over Sequel to “The Host”

We’ve seen it all before: A giant monster attacks and countries come together as a result to defeat it. But here’s a different twist: Monster attacks, and countries come together to recreate it. Well, sort of. In fact, the sequel to last year’s awesome Korean giant monster movie The Host is actually being taken over…

The Empire’s Last AT-AT Act Of Destruction

For years, the San Francisco Bay Area has been proud of the fact that The Empire Strikes Back’s AT-AT Walkers were inspired by the container cranes at the Port of Oakland. (You can even buy a t-shirt that demonstrates said pride.) But a recent story in the San Francisco Chronicle threatens to wipe all of…

Davies: Returning “Who” Cast Is Different, Except They’re Not

It’s apparently a good thing that Russell T. Davies is stepping down from his Doctor Who duties if his confusion over the return of a familiar character is anything to go by. Who is this unfamiliar yet familiar face? Potential spoilers for those who haven’t been paying attention to what they’ve seen on the SciFi…

San Francisco Is America’s New Superhero Playground

San Francisco has a long and proud history of being on the forefront of popular culture – consider the Beats, the Hippies, and Web 2.0! Wait, ignore that last one. But now the City By The Bay has a new group to call its own: the Mutants. Both this week’s Uncanny X-Men and No Hero…

Gender War . . . In Space!

Okay, so we’ve already decided that the idea that women don’t like science fiction is, well, kind of retarded. But that doesn’t stop people continuing to offer advice about how to introduce the “fairer” sex to a world of speculative fiction, alien planets and metaphorical explorations into the human condition. The latest culprit? The Atlantic’s…

Revealed: The Reason Why Obama Boldly Goes

Apparently, this year’s US Elections are going to depend on whether you’re a Gene Rodenberry or Ron Moore fan. We’ve seen the New York Times declare that Senator John McCain is actually the political equivalent of Battlestar Galactica, but now it appears that Senator Barack Obama’s very own sci-fi alter ego is self-assured half-Vulcan Mr.…

The Fly Teleports Into A New Tuneful Medium

If you’ve always enjoyed the David Cronenberg version of transportation horror porn The Fly but felt that it lacked the certain je ne sais quoi that a couple of song-and-dance routines would’ve lent the occasion, then I’ve got two pieces of news for you. Firstly, you’re not alone. Secondly, you’re about to find your dreams…

Superheroes Stage Shelf-Space Takeover In This Week’s Comics

If certain retailers are to be believed, this week’s new comic releases mark a peculiar milestone, as a certain troubled publisher finds its main rival mounting a serious attack on its real-estate of shelf space. But outside of what’s either a bold grab for market share or a coincidental clusterfuck of shipping dates, it’s another…

Meet The New Boss, (Exactly) The Same As The Old Boss

The shock news from this weekend’s HeroesCon was the announcement of DC Comics’ new Executive Editor for the DC Universe superhero line: Dan DiDio.

Alien Abductees Tell Their Own Story In Serpo

When you hear the words “US Government” and “legal alien exchange program” together, your first thought probably has more to do with border control than outer space. But apparently the government has had a top-secret human/alien exchange going on for years, and an upcoming comic is threatening to spill the beans for all to see.…

GI Joe Movie Gets New Title, Franchise Potential

Coming as a surprise to absolutely no-one, it looks like the upcoming GI Joe movie has become just the first in a (for the moviemakers, potentially long-running) franchise with the addition of a somewhat foreboding subtitle to next summer’s Sienna-Miller-in-rubber actionfest. Dutch movie blog Film1.nl saw the revised title at a movie expo in Amsterdam:…

Bet On Who The New Doctor Will Be

David Tennant hasn’t definitively said whether he’s going to stay in the Tardis beyond the guest-startastic end of this season’s Doctor Who, but a little thing like reality isn’t enough to stop the UK’s bookies. They’ve starting giving odds on who’s most likely to replace him. And, if you’re a betting person, you might want…

More Changes And Upset For DC Comics

It wasn’t the change that anyone was expecting. When Friday’s rumors of a resignation within DC Comics’ upper management hit the nets, everyone was thinking executive editor Dan DiDio.
