www.ComicMix.com Deep inside, deep inside, deep inside, deep inside, I know it. Deep inside of me. What a week to be deep inside pop culture, huh? We're going to find out probably that pretty little son on lost is not who we thought she
was. Some people are going to argue about what happened at the end of Battlestar Galactica and even more are going to get excited about WrestleMania. And right up front, it's just little o me. Hi, it's Mike Raub with another week of podcasts and we're going to get you through it starting
today with a look at what's cool in the comic book stores. We're going to find out just why TMNT hit big number one dollars at the box office and we're going to take a minute to hear from one of the original feminist poster girls. All that and more on March 27, 2007. ComicMix.
Well, if you like to play ultimate alliance on Xbox from Marvel, then you certainly are going to be excited about something that might be turning up in your Easter basket. It is three new expansion packs featuring eight new playable characters for the game that include the Hulk, Magneto, Hawkeye, Sabretooth, Doctor Doom, Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Venom. Each with new powers, new dialogue and new achievement points as well.
Now these will be available in April via the Xbox Live Marketplace and you can get them in three different versions. You get the hero pack with the heroes, the villain pack with the villains or the combined hero and villain pack. They'll run anywhere from 500 Microsoft points to 800 Microsoft points.
The Lunar Brothers acclaimed series Girls is coming to an end with issue number 24 from Image Comics. This last issue when it appears on the 18th of April will be 40 pages long, but still at the regular cover price of $2.99. And Justice League of America number one has sold out.
Think you heard that before? Well you did. Back about six issues ago the first issue sold out. DC did a second printing. Now that second printing is sold out and they're going to go back for printing number three.
This time there'll be a variant cover with a pencils only version of the artwork by Michael Turner. It'll be in stores on the 11th of April. Check with your retailer if you want a copy. Speaking of those sold out comics, Image Comics says that after the cape that when they came
out last week we told you about was an excellent story. And oddly enough everybody agreed. They picked it up, grabbed it and right now it's sold out with no plans at this point for a second printing. But if there are, we'll let you know.
Emma Watson says yes she will be returning to Harry Potter in the last two of those Warner Brothers film adaptations of J.K. Rowling's Potter books. And Speed Racer is going to take form on live action with Emile Hirsch playing the part. Remember the days when there were rumors about Tom Cruise doing that?
It's just frightening in many levels. Hirsch you might remember is a guy who was in a movie called The Girl Next Door. There's been a lot of rumors on the internet today that Hugo Weaving has been set to provide the voice of Megatron in the Transformers movies. Some fans aren't thrilled about that.
This was almost too easy, Starscream. They say it should be Frank Walker who had provided the voice in the animated version. No official announcement has come at this time. 7 7

Hey guys! This is terrific! What took me so long to find it? Now I have to go read ALL of them…
Welcome aboard Jessie!
Too Funny 🙂 I had the exact same epiphany at Philly Classic a couple years ago. I've never been terribly star struck — yes I would have drooled over the chance to meet Douglas Adams while he was around, but that is a different story.At the Philly Classic (Vintage Video Game Convention) Cindy Morgan of Tron and Caddyshack fame was selling cells from Tron and I went total fan boy on her — got my picture with her — the works.Keep up the great story telling guys — I don't think it is just me who sees themselves every week in the pages of EZ Street.
Thanks, Craig. I chuckled a couple times re-reading the strip today just because it, obviously, hits home for me. In particular I was remembering when Todd Livingston and I had just finished writing THE BLACK FOREST as a screenplay and we were so happy with it and boom – within days they announced Stephen Sommers was making VAN HELSING – thus killing any chance we may have had to turn the script into a film. Six months work down the drain. On the plus side that paved the way for us to enter comics – thanks to Neil Vokes who wanted to adapt the story as a screenplay. But that wonderful turn of events was months away and in that terrible moment, boy did I have some dark fantasties! Ironically, years later I ended up working with the the Sommers Company on another project and are they ever great guys.
Yeah – I know I've spotted myself in EZ STREET a few times!
