Teen Drama Queens Vs. Alien Invaders: Who Will You Root For?

If it’s Wednesday, then it must be time-travel or space war. Or, in the case of one of the new comic books this week, some combination of the two. This week’s comics see all manner of classic scifi ideas repackaged for today’s super-hero-centric audiences. Relaunches, forgotten series, and an unfinished classic all wait for you…

The Aliens Of Greenwich Village

Greenwich Village may be a big mall now, but it used to be one of the most alien locations in America. Full of beatniks, hippies and freaks, it seemed like a natural hang-out for a slumming monster. In classic scifi, the Village is always full of bizarre acid trips and aliens who pass unnoticed. Click…

New Movie Celebrates Galactic In-Breeding

The quest for classic scifi texts to bring to the big screen may finally have gone too far. Ron Howard’s Imagine Entertainment and Universal Pictures are negotiating for the rights to film E.E. “Doc” Smith’s Lensmen novels, which are so dated that any adaptation will be either unrecognizable or unwatchable. And yet the series helped…

New Justice League Flick Puts Green Lantern in the Korean War

The award-winning retro-futurist graphic novel DC: The New Frontier will become a stylish movie, judging from this newly released trailer. This direct-to-DVD animated film, based on the Darwyn Cooke graphic novel, follows Green Lantern (voiced by David "Angel" Boreanaz) from the Korean War to the Kennedy administration. It’s also part of a trend toward putting…

10 Ways To Destroy The Earth Without Nukes

You can’t really call yourself an evil genius unless you’ve got a clever scheme for wrecking our planet once and for all. And no, using nuclear weapons doesn’t really count as “clever.” Nukes are so 1950. Here’s a list of the 10 coolest ways to smash Earth, or at least render it uninhabitable, without splitting…

Gail Simone Cuts Loose In “Tranquility”

Murder shatters the peace in a retirement community for old superheroes, in Gail Simone’s awesome Welcome To Tranquility Vol. 1, out this week. The collection of the first six issues of Tranquility comes too late to win new fans and save the series from cancellation, but it’s still worth picking up for bizarre characters like…

After Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Comics Have “New Release Wednesday Thursday”

Time travel becomes a reality this week for comic book fans everywhere, with last week’s holiday bumping the traditional New Release Wednesday to Thursday. The post-holiday blues also affect the books themselves, as the usual focus on the single issues begins to shift towards pricier collections. But of all the hundreds of things arriving this…

Speed Racer Will Be All Fake Except The Monkey

The Wachowskis’ Speed Racer movie backgrounds will be all greenscreen like 300, says star Emile Hirsch. All except for Chim Chim the monkey, which is real. And presumably flung its poop at the pristine green walls. [Empire] Dave “Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius” Eggers collaborated with director Spike Jonze on the script to Where The…

Must Read: Green Lantern: Rebirth

Must-read comics are futuristic classics that shouldn’t be missed. Of course, not every must-read is perfect. That’s why we’ve rated them 1-5 on the patented “crunchy goodness” scale. Title: Green Lantern: Rebirth Date: 2005 (reprinting material from 2004 – 2005) Vitals: Bringing an epic scale and giant glowing alien monsters that personify human emotions to…

Green Lantern Serves Up Equal Opportunity Exploitation

The Green Lantern Corps is fighting a fierce war against the evil Sinestro Corps — and it’s taking a toll on their tight spandex uniforms. In last week’s issue of Green Lantern Corps, the evil followers of Sinestro totally shred the costume of the studly Sodam Yat. The result is exactly the sort of porno…

Justice League Movie Could Be Way Too Comic Book-y

The Justice League movie will be ultra faithful to the comic book, reports the newest Entertainment Weekly. If anything, the new ensemble flick sounds like it may fall into the common trap of trying to shoehorn too many elements from the comics into one film. It features the seven founding JLA members, including John Stewart…

Must Read: Green Lantern: Ganthet’s Tale

Must-read graphic novels are futuristic classics that shouldn’t be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That’s why we’ve rated them 1-5 on the patented “crunchy goodness” scale. Title: Green Lantern: Ganthet’s Tale Date: 1992 Vitals: Larry Niven sends Green Lantern on a cosmic voyage to the dawn of the universe. Cue swirly nebulas…
