Special

This week;

Astioning Spider-Man and Wolverine #1- I don't expect it to be good, but it's worth giving a chance.
Brightest Day #1- I really hope that two year from now we're not reviewing issue #23 or 24. Hopefully this is a nice quick story, which in today's standards will be about anywhere between 6 and 8 pages.
Incorruptible #5- Liking the story.
Irredeemable #13- There's needs to be a resolution soon. Pluntoniun is still at large, It seems to basically be the same thing stretched out from issue to issue in regards to the basic plot.

Roger called me afterwards and told me he started screaming the answer to the third question at the computer when I hesitated to answer it.

Last year Warner Bros. announced Guy Ritchie was hired to direct the movie adaptation of DC Comics character "Lobo". Recently Guy Ritchie directed "Sherlock Holmes" starring Robert Downey Jr., the studio wants to move forward with "Sherlock Holmes 2", and they want Guy Ritchie to return for the sequel. The L.A. Times spoke with producer Joel Silver who is producing both properties and asked if "Sherlock Holmes 2" will delay the production of "Lobo" until Ritchie is free to direct. "I would guess a different director" said Silver, "It's all happening at once now. Everybody is talking about everything .... It's an ongoing conversation."

20th Century Fox has hired the writers of "Zombieland" to pen the script for the upcoming "Deadpool" movie. The team of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick will tackle the challenging task of redeeming the Merc with a Mouth and making a movie version of Deadpool that will erase our memories of Xmen: Origins like a Men In Black mind wipe. Ryan Reynolds will return as Wade Wilson/Deadpool in what is being said to be a complete reboot of the character and have no affiliation with the Wolverine movie.
