DC’s Super Power Break Ups Of The New 52
Aug 31st
After the kiss that’s currently selling comics in Justice League #12, between Superman and Wonder Woman, DC is taking a bit of pride that they have created such love in their new universe. However, most of us will all remember that for years it wasn’t Clark Kent and Diana of Themyscira, but Clark and Lois Lane. So when DC’s blog today put out a list of their Super Power Couples, many fans moaned and groaned about the love lost when DC rebooted its universe into the New 52. Feeling your pain, while DC gloats of what they called “those perfect More >

25-years ago Konami released the first Metal Gear game for the MSX2. That was 11 years before Solid Snake would make his popular first appearance on the PlayStation console. Yet we still have 25 years of the special forces operative starring in stealth games that have defined the genre. Snake has since been in over 20 video games and several comics and novels. But what Snake has yet to appear in is a major motion picture, despite much hope and demands from fans. That all changed today, when Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. announced a partnership with Arad Productions, Columbia Pictures, More >

Aug 28th
As we mentioned in one of our FQC’s at the beginning of the month, Marvel was looking to make a new TV series at ABC to tie in with the Marvel movie-verse. More recent news added that with Joss Whedon’s new contract to direct the Avengers sequel and guide the Marvel movie-verse, he would in some way be attached to the ABC TV series if it ever got off the ground.

Aug 26th
The ever controversial Rob Liefeld officially stepped away from DC comics earlier this week, with a rather big drop via his twitter account. He officially leaves Grifter, Deathstroke, and Savage Hawkman with their #0 issues next month. However, if it wasn’t so close to the release of those issues, some question if DC would even publish those. Why? Because Liefeld has been making a rather spectacular spectacle of himself recently on his twitter account. Now this isn’t the first time fans might have seen Liefeld go off on another member of the comic industry online, but this certainly seems a big scale event More >
Purchase Your Alter Ego At…Petco?!
Aug 25th
Last month, DC Entertainment premiered some rather fun dog toys at comic con in the way of squeaky plush pups that my youngest puppy wont stop reminding me I actually purchased. However, that was just the start of new DC superhero toys and products for pets, as Fetch officially unleashes a whole line of DC items at Petco’s across the nation today. This comes just months after Marvel’s release of pet products through Fetch this past March. However, it seems the two competing comic companies also compete in what stores carry them, with Marvel at PetSmart and DC at Petco. I’m not sure More >
