SciFi Pulse is reporting rumors of major changes in the works for two of the BBC’s most popular sci-fi series, Doctor Who
If any aspects of the rumors are true, they’re pretty much the definition of the word "spoiler" — so consider yourself warned!
In order to give the spoiler-phobic among ComicMix readers a fighting a chance at avoidance, I’ve posted some details about the revelations after the jump.
Born on March 6, Garth had a difficult childhood. The son of King Thar and Queen Bera of the Idyllists (a colony of Atlantis, located in the Hidden Valley), Garth was exiled and sentenced to death at birth because of a mystic prophecy. Somehow he survived and lived alone for many years beneath the waves before finally meeting Aquaman.
Garth became the underwater hero’s sidekick, Aqualad, and later joined the Teen Titans. Years later, after the two had a falling out, Garth was trained by Aquaman’s father Atlan, who unleashed Garth’s full mystic potential. Garth renamed himself "Tempest" and defeated his necromancer uncle, Slizzath, in an attempt to transform the Hidden Valley into a necropolis.
Since then, Garth has been an ambassador to the United Nations, a husband (to the heroine Dolphin), a father, and a Teen Titan, and has reconciled with Aquaman. Currently, Garth is powerless and searching for his family—here’s hoping he finds them before his next birthday!
This week’s marks eleven years since the passing of my late wife, Kimberly Yale. The best way to remember people, I’ve found, is through stories – stories you know or stories you’ve heard. Story is what I do. So here are some of the stories by which I remember Kim.
ComicMix TV is back once again with another episode!

SPOILER ALERT: For those of you who haven’t read the first Dark Tower series, The Gunslinger Born, there are spoilery pieces of plot contained in the interview. So, consider yourself warned!
Enjoy!
As sure as peanut butter and jelly, when a big-budget summer movie comes out, there’s usually a videogame tie-in. Images and footage of the Iron Man movie game have made the rounds as early as last July’s Electronic Entertainment Expo and San Diego Comic-Con. But we’ve heard nothing about the game based on the upcoming The Dark Knight movie — which is odd, given that Batman Begins sold well and received decent reviews.
Posters on the DC Comics message boards have wondered the same thing. The speculation is that Electronic Arts will once again publish the game based on Christian Bale’s version of the Caped Crusader. EA recently acquired developer Pandemic Studios, who’ve bucked the industry trend by producing decent licensed games (such as the Star Wars: Battlefront series). While searching Pandemic’s site, you can find a page recruiting for people to work on a mysterious "Project B."
"B" as in "Batman," maybe?
"Somewhere out there, someone’s working on my game."
The live-action adaptation of Dragonball, originally set to be released on August 15, 2008, has been pushed back to April 3, 2009.
20th Century Fox has moved the film from the busy tail end of this year’s summer movie season to the beginning of next year’s, where it currently faces no competition. The nature of the box office is sure to change that situation, but for now movies like Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Wild Child can rest easy knowing they won’t have to compete against super saiyans.
The film’s story follows Goku as he races against time to collect those precious, precious dragonballs before the evil Lord Piccolo can get his hands on them. Lots of screaming and punching are involved.
Dragonball stars Justin Chatwin as Goku, Emmy Rossum as Bulma, James Marsters as Piccolo and Chow Yun-Fat as Master Roshi and is directed by James Wong (Final Destination, The One).

In what will surely have X-Files fans reacting with a huge range of emotions including excitement, fear, anger and shock, new photos posted today from the set of X-Files 2 reveal that somewhere during the film Mulder and Scully will finally express affection for each other the old-fashioned way: with a kiss.
These new photos, posted at the X-Files News site were taken in Vancouver while the cast and crew were busy working on the film. Including the aforementioned kiss, there are also shots of David Duchovny giving his co-star Gillian Anderson a big hug after the kiss scene and Writer/Director Chris Carter leading the cheers of the crew after calling cut on what was probably a monumental moment in X-Files history.
To be honest, I was expecting something like this from the new film. At some point you can’t tease fans anymore or they will start to resent it. Eventually, you have to let them see what they really want to see and have been hoping for all these years: the believer and the skeptic together at last.
X-Files 2 hits theaters on July 25th.
Say what you will about the film I am Legend. You’re either a huge fan of the Richard Matheson novella and you hated the movie or you love Will Smith and he can do no wrong — or maybe, like me, you’re somewhere in the middle. I’ve always loved the Matheson story and I also liked the movie. Well, at least until the third act and the ending, which didn’t work for me at all.
Well, once again, thanks to the power of the Internets (via SlashFilm), we can now experience an alternative ending for the film not shown in theaters. This ending, certainly a more upbeat one, was most-likely shown during its original test screenings before release. It probably didin’t test well with audiences, for whatever reason, so the ending shown in theaters was used instead.
If you haven’t seen the film already, you might not want to watch this as it will certainly contain spoilers. If you have seen the movie and were let down by the third act as I was, then this ending might be the one you were hoping for all along.
Either way, enjoy.
UPDATE: It looks like this one is being taken down faster than anyone can post it. We’ll try to find a more stable version of the video, but in the meantime I’ve provided a quick synopsis of what was in the video in the comments thread for this article. – RM
UPDATE: Looks like some enterprising person has posted the ending here. Get it while its hot.
Another day, another photo (or 10) from the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. Previously, there’s been the first official photo from the movie, a few set photos and a cool Wolverine pic for you to enjoy. Now, thanks to celeb photographer Just Jared, there’s a lot more behind-the-scene from the film photos to bring you today.
Over at the site you can see some of the fist pics of a bulked-up Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth and, of course, some more shots of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine — all taken during what appears to be a break in filming at the Sydney, Australia set of the movie. There’s also a few pics showing the make-up department touching-up Schreiber’s Sabretooth claws and a close-up of the claws as well.
Seeing these latest pics had me asking some of the same questions as a few of the commentors at the site. For example, how will the movie explain the size difference between Schreiber as Sabretooth in this film and Tyler Mane in X-Men? Also, what’s up with Schreiber’s hair? Isn’t Sabretooth a blonde?
I’m sure these questions will all get answered once the film hits theaters May 1, 2009.
Is there anything in the universe scarier than a blank page? Danny doesn’t think so.
