So, it seems every day as we open our papers, turn on our TV’s, and fire up our computers… Arizona is adding law after law that makes our jaws drop. If Arizona were itself a TV show, it just jumped a shark, and added several new adorable “cousins” to liven up it’s image. From requiring President Barack Obama to present his birth certificate in order to run for re-election in the state, to it’s newest law allowing police the ability to pull over anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant… we’re not sure who’s writing the laws in the state. According to our sources though, it appears to be none other than state captive Norman Osborn. After his depantsing at the hands of the newly formed Avengers, our embedded agent at S.H.I.E.L.D. found documentation that as his back-up back-up plan to leading project H.A.M.M.E.R., Norman decided to get into villainous legislation writing. Who knew Arizona would be his biggest buyer! The following list was sent to us by our agent, laying out 10 new laws Normie has planned for the state to vote into law:

1.Police officials will be allowed to pull over anyone they suspect of owning Spider-Man merchandise. The detained will be searched, and if they have anything pertaining to the wall-crawler, they will be paddled in the bottom until they cry uncle.

2.Fast Food chains will have to present documentation with all nutritional information for their food on demand. Fast Food chains will also have to add at least 3 oz. of liquid ‘Globulin Green’ to all food products. For health reasons.

Just in case you’ve not been knee-deep in the most current TV news, allow us to share some tidbits about your favorite CW drama with super people. That’s right, next fall, the tenth season of Smalleville will be the last. How do we know? Well, ole’ Clark himself, actor Tom Welling told Hollywood Life. The 33 year old actor was quoted as saying “Season 10 of Smallville will be the last season.”… Seems pretty straight forward to us, and the CW confirmed it at the upfronts. With many fans wondering how long the show was going to go on (after series regular Michael Rosenbaum left, and several disappointing storylines), it seems as good a time as any for the long running drama to take a bow.

Thanks largely in part to some revitalization from DC Comics guru Geoff Johns, who contributed to the season high ‘Absolute Justice’, the series gained back some lost steam with fans during it’s 9th season. Name dropping “Apokolips”, adding “Checkmate” and Amanda Waller didn’t hurt either. But with Clark still donning his “Neo-Lite” black trenchcoat and silver sparkle Superman tee-shirt combo… will the final season break the original series law of “No Flights. No Tights.”?

Well ComicMix’ers season 10 is just a summer away. So we ask you, what do you want to see in in the final Smallville episodes? Clark don his signature eyewear? More Justice-League Lite? More JSA? A showdown with Lord Darkseid? How about a return of Michael Rosenbaum? Let us know in the comments below!

Kudos to the king of nerd collector sites, Mattycollector.com for bringing us up to speed on the newest line of figures to hit shelves as part of the DC Universe line of toys this summer. Continuing to bring DC fans a plethora of their favorite golden, silver, and modern age heroes and villains, Mattel is bringing a wave of 7 figures (with a few chases which we’ll describe in a bit) for you to put down your hard earned cash for. Collecting them all this time will nab you the mighty Legion of Super Heroes villain Validus, complete with see-thru-brain head!

Wave 15 (yes, 15!) of the figures include:

• Starman – Your choice of either the golden age Ted Knight version or his son Jack in his modern garb. Each Starman comes with their respective Cosmic Staff; Ted also comes with his Stellar Energy Pistol. No clue yet which is considered the chase. But we’re counting on you super collectors to get both anyways, right?
• Raven – Joining that Beast Boy and Cyborg on your shelf comes this fan-choice figure. She comes with high heels and well toned arms. And a big blue cape.
• Jemm – The crimson skinned Saturnian is in the line, probably to be a stitch in the side of…
• The Martain Manhunter – That’s right! In case you don’t have him from the JLI set, the JLA Classified Set, or any other set… get your mitts on a little J’onn J’onzz for yourself. He comes in two flavors in the wave… double fisted, or a chase figure packed with a “Martian head sculpt” and a “Martian weapon hand”. Nope, we don’t know what the weapon hand looks like either.
• OMAC – This one’s for the king, baby! Jack Kirby’s mohawked mighty one man army corps makes his way into plastic kids… scoop him up!
• Sinestro Corps Batman – Sure it was only drawn into one panel… but we’ll be damned if it wasn’t a cool panel! The Sinestro Corps Dark Knight comes with a translucent bat ring construct.
• Golden Pharaoh – For the true collector, Golden Pharaoh was a figure release in the original Super Powers action figure line. He comes packed with his Mystical Pyramid Staff and sports a manly translucent purple torso.

It seems Hollywood is rife with debate on the news that token Tn’A actress Megan Fox will not reprise her award schwing worthy role in the Transformer Threequel. The debate? Whether Fox herself chose not to be a part of the Bay directed blockbuster, or if the ‘Godard of Explosions’ simply chose not to bring her back.

As reported by Yahoo! Movies and Deadline Hollywood it seems Boom-Boom-Bay was the one who chose not to bring back Fox, citing several issues leading to his decision. Could it be because the Juliard trained heroine of Transformers and Transformers 2: Revenge of the Robo-Rappin’ Robots equated working with Bay to working for Hitler? Perhaps. Maybe it was Fox’s insinuation during interviews for her Oscar nominated performance in Jennifer’s Actually An Evil Monster, But You’re Here Just To Look at Her Body that Michael Bay’s sets were “dangerous”, and that the director “[is] like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation…”

Bay left no comments on his website regarding the matter, leaving studio reps to communicate with the press. Reps from Paramount stated that “in order to take Shia’s character – Samuel James Witwicky — in a new
direction, it was better if Sam wasn’t tied down to a love interest.”

In response, Megan’s people told People Magazine that “it was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best.”

When asked for a comment the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, added… “I will miss working with Ms. Fox. Her headlights put the spark back in my matrix. But we are confident the human leader Bay will provide us with a new human sacrifice for the all-spark for our next filmed venture.”

Look for Transformers 3: More Stuff Explodes and You Won’t Understand What’s Going On Anyways 3D to hit theaters and IMAXes in July of 2011. 

The two-part finale to the 31st season of Doctor Who will feature The Daleks, The Cybermen, The Sontarans, and the return of River Song, the woman who may or may not be the Doctor’s mother. Or ex-wife. Or bookie. Whatever.

According to Digital Spy UK, producer/overseer Steven Moffet is writing both episodes, entitled The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang. The Doctor and his assistant Amy Pond have been dealing with a large glowing crack in the space/time continuum all season, along with Amy’s neurotic betrothed. It is expected this two-parter will resolve the former storyline, if not the latter as well. With all those alien bad guys oozing around, there might not be time. Broadcast time, that is: Doctor Who is entirely about time.

The shows will air June 19 and 26th in the United Kingdom and June 26th and July 3 on BBC America. After that, the Doctor zots off to The Sarah Jane Adventures to meet his old friend and former assistant and recurring playmate…. for the first time.
