First, it was interracial dating… and now it’s homosexuality. With all the changes going on, it’s driving some people to drink… if only they could.
Join us back at Munden’s Bar with writer John Ostrander (GrimJack, Suicide Squad, Star Wars: Legacy) and artist Chris Burnham (X-Men, Elephantmen) as a young man must make the hardest choice of his life, one he’s been putting off for decades…
Archie Comics Introduces Gay Riverdalian
Okay, I’ll admit for the past year or so I’ve found our friends over at Archie Comics to be the most innovative and most courageous outfit among the major publishers. The first to jump feet-first into the world of digital publishing, they’ve followed up with Mike Uslan’s media-quaking Archie Gets Married story arc, they’ve entered the slick magazine market, and – this month – they cover featured Archie Andrews’ interracial kiss.
They’re not resting on their laurels.
This September they’ll be introducing a new character, Kevin Keller. He’s a dreamboat, and Veronica Lodge dumps Archie like a he was Enron stock. But there’s one small problem for Ronnie.
Kevin’s gay.
“It just makes sense to have an openly gay character in Archie comic books,” Archie Comics Co-CEO Jon Goldwater noted. Whereas there have been a handful of openly gay characters from other mainstream publishers (although sometimes the publishers conveniently forget the characterizations), no other American comic book publisher is so dependent upon sales on the general newsstand. The press on this event – and make no mistake about it, this is an event – will get Archie titles pulled off of some racks in certain communities across the nation. Remember, even the citizens of the state of California voted to withdraw the right of same-sex marriage; this nation’s road to freedom continues to have its major potholes. And Archie Comics has the guts to steer right into one of the biggest.
What is troubling to this reporter is that Kevin Keller defeats Jughead Jones in a hamburger eating contest. This, to me, is a sign of the apocalypse.
The story “Isn’t it Bromantic?” will appear in Veronica #202. It will appear in comic shops September 1st; you might want to consider advance-ordering.
‘Doctor Who’s Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Steven Moffat at Apple Store – Video
Appearing at the Apple Store in Soho to promote Doctor Who on iTunes, Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Steven Moffat discuss the upcoming
season, what the Eleventh Doctor is like, what role new
companion Amelia Pond plays, and who’s coming back. Enjoy.
Torchwood Torched At Fox
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Fox network has passed on Torchwood after reading Russell T. Davies’ script.
Perhaps that’s when they discovered the lead character, an American who cannot stay dead for very long, is omnisexual… and that’s a critical part of his character.
BBC Worldwide stated “BBC
Worldwide Productions and the Fox Broadcasting Company have mutually
agreed not to progress together with a 13-episode serialized Torchwood
format. We are currently in
discussion with several interested networks.” Former Torchwood and Doctor Who producer and now BBC Worldwide American agent Jane
Tranter said they were still making progress in placing the vaguely more adult Doctor Who spin-off. “It’s
very much ongoing and very much alive,” Tranter said.
We’ll see. What American executives perceive as fit for your eyes differs – greatly – from their British counterparts.
South Park Must Die!
The New York-based organization Revolution Muslim helpfully pointed out that South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone insulted their prophet Muhammad and will probably end up like filmmaker Theo Van Gogh.
Mr. Van Gogh was murdered in 2004 for making a movie that was critical of the abuse of Muslim women in some segments of Islamic society. That pretty much meets the standard of a death threat.
Comedy Central’s lovable little rascals did a show last week – the second part airs this Wednesday – wherein every celebrity criticized by South Park threatened to take legal action against the city. Tom Cruise, who was depicted as working at a fudge plant packing product into boxes, said they’d drop the charges if they lined up a meeting with Muhammad. Ever mindful of the censorship they endured the last time they put Muhammad up on their show – let alone what happened to Danish cartoonist Jylands-Posten – the character was depicted with a black “censored” bar over the image until the boys disguised him as a lovable teddy bear. It didn’t work and Cruise unleashed Mecha-Streisand on the town.
For some reason, Revolution Muslim also felt last week’s episode was, to quote CNN, “stupid.”
CNN went on to note that Revolution Muslim supported the anti-West juhad and Osama Bin Laden.
Will Comedy Central air the second part of the story, or will they air a Terrance and Phillip episode instead? Turn in Wednesday!
‘Young Justice’, ‘Mad’, ‘Looney Tunes’ coming to Cartoon Network
The Hollywood Reporter has the skinny on the Cartoon Network upfronts, and there are many familiar faces for comics fans this year.
Young
Justice: Being a teenager means proving yourself over and
over—to
peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But
what if you’re not just a
normal teenager? What if
you’re a teenage super hero? Are
you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you’re worthy
of
the Justice League? That’s
exactly what the members of Young Justice—Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash,
Superboy,
Miss Martian and Artemis (the renamed version of Arrowette)—will find out, whether they have what it
takes
to be a proven hero. This
all-new series is based on the series by Peter David and Todd Nauck, and is produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Sam
Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave
and the
Bold) is the executive producer. Brandon Vietti (Batman:
Under the Red Hood, Superman
Doomsday, The Batman) and Greg Weisman (Gargoyles,
The
Spectacular Spider-Man, W.I.T.C.H.) are the producers.
MAD:
Produced by Warner Bros.
Animation and using the iconic MAD magazine,
published by DC Comics, as inspiration, MAD is an animated
sketch-comedy series utilizing a chaotic
mix of animation styles and twisted humor to pull back the curtain and
expose the truth behind movies, TV shows, games, pop culture and, of
course, curtains! Classic MAD magazine
characters and features such as Alfred E. Neuman and Spy vs. Spy pop
up,
and no subject matter or individual will be safe from MAD’s
barrage of parodies and sketches. In the end, viewers
won’t get even,
they’ll just get MAD! Sam Register (Teen
Titans, Ben 10,
Batman: The Brave and the Bold)
is the executive producer. Kevin
Shinick (Robot Chicken) and Mark
Marek (KaBlam! The Andy Milonakis Show) are the
producers.
The Looney Toons Show will star Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, along with
Yosemite Sam,
Tweety, Sylvester
— the whole gang. The network is having each episode as a
half-hour story along with “cartoons within a cartoon.” It will also having classic characters singing original
songs in two-minute music videos called Merrie Melodies and the Road
Runner and Coyote in CG shorts.
Doctor Who’s Triple Crossover
It’s old-timers week on the next season of The Sarah Jane Adventures, due to begin airing this fall. The intrepid former companion will be reunited with the Doctor – for the first time. And her predecessor will be around to join in the action.
Matt Smith will be crossing over into Sarah Jane, marking his first time he’s taking the character to a different venue. Of course, the Doctor’s appeared with Sarah Jane Smith a great many times in a great many incarnations; in fact, she’s met and worked with most of the Doctors to date.
What’s surprising is that her immediate predecessor, Jo Grant, will also be involved in this two-parter. She left the side of the third Doctor to accompany her beau on a trip to the Amazon and was replaced in the Tardis by Sarah Jane. Katy Manning will be reprising the role.
Moreover, former Doctor Who producer Russell T. Davies, who remains producer of The Sarah Jane Adventures, has written this episode.
No word on the status of K-9 in this episode, although the little bugger will be appearing during the season. The Daleks will not be appearing, and it is therefore expected Katy will be keeping her clothes on.
