If you live in or near Pittsburgh, you can check out the Zippy’s Pittsburgh and More exhibit: If you don’t, you can at least read about it here.
Wait, that doesn’t look like a pajama top to me: Cleveland reporter (and humorist) Michael Heaton interviews Cleveland cartoonist Terri Libenson, the creator of The Pajama Diaries.
“Sixth-graders design breakfast superheroes”: Oh sure this sounds innocent enough, but who owns the rights to the characters when it’s all said and done?
But that guy doesn’t look anything like Alan Scott!: Something tells me that they’re not going to be using my favorite Green Lantern in the live-action movie…
“Warner Bros. Giving Up On R-Rated Superhero Movies?”: Is this something that genuinely surprises anyone in the whole world? Er, how many R-rated superhero movies could reasonably be expected to have been made after Watchmen anyway?
“The Submission Guidelines for every Comic and Manga Publisher in the Universe”: Or at least 65 of ‘em, courtesy of Optimum Wound.
This is the best 4,500-word review of a Smurf comic ever: Jog deserves the Pulitzer Prize for online Smurf comics criticism, and if they don’t give Pulitzer’s for that, then he at least deserves the Smurflitzer Prize.

So I take it that a Lobo movie isn’t going to be made anytime soon.
And hopefully this doesn’t mean Warner is going to look past all Vertigo titles because they might be stupid enough to think that all comics = superheroes.

Chris Pine actually sounds like a great choice for Green Lantern, just based on the way the character of Kirk looks in the Star Trek trailers. The characterization is pretty much exactly Geoff Johns’ Hal Jordan.

WB, we already knew you weren’t going to make an Authority movie, because everyone knows REAL superheroes aren’t gay.

“Er, how many R-rated superhero movies could reasonably be expected to have been made after Watchmen anyway?” Preacher would make . . . no, not a superhero. Y: The Last Man could . . . dang, nothing stereotypically superheroic about that title. The Invisibles could be made . . . wait, one of them is a tranny, could offend someone. The Authority could . . . right, the Batman and Superman pantaches are a homosexual couple, could offend someone. How about Sandman . . . oh, too original. Hollywood hates originality, which is why they’re remaking The Karate Kid, Weird Science, and Robocop.
So, with that, does that mean Warner Bros. are going to the opposite end and make PG-rated films? Plastic-Man? Teen Titans? Sugar and Spike?
