Interesting article on the history of DC Comics, and how their past “Crisis” type stories, which were created to try to gain market share from Marvel Comics, often failed.

Fort Wayne Journal Gazette does a story about Damon Lindelof, the co-creator of the hit TV show, “Lost” and writer of the upcoming “Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk” comic.

I must admit that I did not watch this last season at all. However, we get a lot of children/families of children in here who watch the show and want the comics. So, when the new shows are done, I hope they continue it in re-runs. Otherwise, we could continue to grow a generation of children who have NO INTEREST in comics!
Despite the impending doom of the show, they have announced another set of action figures.

Since Marvel’s firs game, “Superhero Showdown” was such a failure, they have taken a stab at a dice game, “Battle Dice.” It combines dice and mini figures of characters like Spider-Man, X-Men and Daredevil. Players then create armies and roll dice to battle.

"Underworld: Evolution" is set to hit the big screen in January of ’06. Underworld: Evolution features two new creatures: the winged vampire Marcus (Tony Curran) and a souped-up version of the vampire-Lycan hybrid Michael, played by Scott Speedman, who was introduced at the end of the first movie. This is a follow-up of the 2002 movie, and I have heard it is very good. If you liked the first one, you might want to re-view it and then go see this new one in January.
