Apart from some chronic bouts of concentrated cliffhanger enthusiasm in visits with the pioneering Texas cartoonist-turned-fine artist Frank Stack, I haven’t paid a great deal of attention in recent years to the extinct form of Hollywood filmmaking known as serials, or chapter-plays. I’ve overcome that neglectful tendency lately with an assignment to deliver…

One of the panels I was most looking forward to at Wizard World Chicago was the Zudacomics panel, where Richard Bruning and Kwanza Johnson were going to show off the reader and answer questions. Sadly, their demo wasn’t working at the time, so it just turned into a lot of questions and answers. Jason Fliegel…
At the recent Wizard World convention in Chicago, Jim Starlin was part of the DC Nation panel. Starlin created the brilliant graphic novel, The Death of Captain Marvel, which was so well done that it made me cry like a little girl even though I wasn’t that familiar with the character. A running gag throughout…
According to our friends at Publisher’s Weekly, this November Marvel is cancelling Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Sensational Spider-Man. They’re replacing both titles with… Amazing Spider-Man. Yep, Amazing will be coming out three times a month. This one-ups the original Captain Marvel’s twice-a-month release schedule, back in the 40s. But it does beg the question of…
Director Peter Segal is in discussions with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson about playing the lead – the original Captain Marvel (a.k.a. The Big Red Cheese) in the forthcoming Shazam! movie. The Rock, the WWE wrestling star who has impressed many critics and movie-goers in such films as The Scorpion King, The Mummy Returns and Gridiron…

But when I tell people face-to-face that I’m writing a Captain Marvel movie…their eyes go up…

John August sets the record straight on his blog: Jake Gyllenhall is not considering the lead role in the Captain Marvel project which August has been tapped to write. He continues, "I can pretty much assure you he’s never heard of the project. And we’ve never discussed him. We’ve never seriously discussed anyone. "After several…
