Starting out as a kid’s cartoon show and eventually getting canceled, the Batman Beyond comic book has become one of the biggest and least expected hits at DC in a long time. Taking place 40-50 years in the future, Batman Beyond is about a young man named Terry McGinnis who, after his father is murdered, stumbles upon the Batcave after helping the now elderly, and retired, Bruce Wayne.  After McGinnis steals a high tech bat-suit to avenge his father’s death, Wayne takes him under his wing and trains Terry to be the...

If you pay any attention to our humble little site, you know that most of us (except Sheldon) absolutely love Image Comics’ Chew. Chew is written by John Layman with fantastic art by Rob Guillory.  In Chew, because of a horrible bird flu pandemic, a prohibition is placed against all poultry products and the FDA has become the single strongest branch of the United States government, much like the CIA.  Tony Chu is an FDA agent with a strange psychic ability (called cibopathic), he gets a psychic impression from everything...

Looking for a great comic book read that almost no one else picked up, leading to it’s ultimate demise?  Well, one of the most underrated series’ to come out of Marvel Comics has to be Agents of Atlas.

The Flash is about forensic scientist Barry Allen who is struck by lightning and drenched in chemicals in the crime...

Along with just about every other comic movie franchise imaginable, Superman is going to be returning to theaters in 2012.  This is going to be a completely new direction for the Man Of Steel, directed by Zack Snyder. Superman is a franchise that needs no introduction.  He is the original superhero.  Since 1938, every single costumed superhero that has come into being owes their existence to him.  Many people consider the 1978 Superman: The Movie to be the single best comic book movie of all time. For years though, we haven’t...

Hey, everyone!  It’s our first ever “Comic Impact Casting Couch!”  Here we’ll take a comic book property and cast it with the actors we feel would do the best job of bringing these characters to the screen.  We’ll also give you a little insight into how we think this particular project should be carried out.  This week we’re doing Brian K. Vaughn’s masterpiece, Ex Machina! Ex Machina is about Mitchell Hundred, a civil engineer working in New York City in 1999.  He’s called...
