  1. Kevin O'Neill artist for LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMAN, MARSHAL LAW, NEMESIS THE WARLOCK amid his many credits.
  2. In some respects She-Hulk is a good example of how fandom for superhero characters fractures. Some people vastly prefer the original Savage She-Hulk (Lee/Buscema) where Jen is basically exactly like Hulk. John Byrne's revamp Sensational She-Hulk is where a lot of the 4th wall breaking came in, including a comics equivalent of the tv finale in a story. Dan Slot (w/John Bobillo and Shawn Mull amid others) brought She-Hulk back and played up the comedy lawyer aspect and downplayed (if not eliminated) 4th wall breaking (something Charles Soule (w/Javier Pulido and Ron Wimberly) and the current run by Rainbow Rowell (w/Rogê Antônio) seem to have kept). And there Mariko Tamaki's She-Hulk (w/Nico Leon) run (initially just called HULK) that's essentially a PTSD metaphor story and very particular to a set of events that an intro story would never really touch. Anyhow, my point being that fans of the Savage She-Hulk (and fans of comics continuity) wanted that character introduced, fans of Byrne wanted (and got aspects of) that character and Slott fans wanted (and got aspects of) that character. When Iron Man came out fans were so desperate for an accurate representation that they didn't mind that they'd melded multiple versions of the character into one because it felt like a successful iteration of the character they'd long known; but with success, I think, fans have gotten a lot more demanding (in a negative way) about what they want to see.
  3. Long believed lost Betty Boop cartoon featuring one of only two appearances of Betty's neice Buzzy, found in Russia and now restored And the restored cartoon itself:
  4. And in related news...DC Shocker: James Gunn, Peter Safran to Lead Film, TV and Animation Division So probably the last Gunn Marvel film for the foreseeable future.
  5. Sinclair Broadcast Group, AFAIK. They do "Must Run Segments" on the stations they own where the news departments have no choice but to run it, verbatim, on their news broadcasts. They're the second largest television operator in the US. They also are so conservative they blur cleavage on women when they run old movies or bluring them because they don't have a bra on. 70s films are almost unwatchable on their digital network channels (Comet, Charge!)
  6. I saw BLACK ADAM. Don't get the dislike I've seen online, honestly. I thought it was a fun use of the modern Black Adam. The JSA get just enough so you know who they are and are pretty well realized. I'd quibble that Dr Fate's realization probably owes a little too much to movie Dr Strange, but he's fine. Hawkman reminds me a lot of Geoff Johns' run (in fact the movie itself reminds me a bit of John's JSA period that included Adam). Cyclone's powers are well realized and Atom Smasher may be wearing his modern outfit but the characterization is early Nuklon from Infinity, Inc. where he was a bit of a clutz. Sarah Shahi is good as the normal person who grounds the heroes in the story. Story is kind of serial like, as it rolls from action/fight to action/fight. I don't think anyone will marvel over it, but it gives you what you need.
  7. This is Obsidian Entertainment's forum, for their games. I think you might be looking for https://forum.obsidian.md/ for the Obsidian knowledge base.
  8. I have to admit, I kinda want to rewatch the Wing Commander movie sometimes.
  9. Okay. So, warning gore. But I had to share this because wtf?
  10. It was optioned in 2014 last. Screenwriter Sarah Cornwell was tasked with writing the adaption. Hasn't been any news since, that I can tell, on the project.
  11. Its probably an elaborate troll given the number of people who asked about the Anniversary Edition for Skyrim for Switch when it came out on other platforms.
