Steve Zahn has been cast as an undisclosed Ape in the film.

Marvel and DC fans coming together? No wonder they have a titled called “Unity”!

I’ve seen posts from JMS saying that he’s writing the script. Which gives me hope for it. But what it means for when/if it will come out, who knows?

And that’s the problem: the general public doesn’t know or care which publishers the characters come from. They’re more likely to think, “Oh, that’s just Wolverine”, or “That’s just like the X-Men”. The comics are not that, but who knows what will happen with the movies?

I was pretty sad when Magnus and especially Doctor Solar left the Valiant fold. Solar was one of the first comics I ever read back in the ‘60s. The non-Valiant reboots (don’t remember the publisher) were just not good. However, all of the other Valiant books are great. Can’t recommend them enough. Don’t let the lack…

The one with the “Imperial Japanese flag on his chest” is Rai. He is the defender of a very future Japan, so sure, stick the symbol on his chest.

If you liked 90’s X-O Manowar, you’ll love the current version.

Glad to see this article; I’ve been a Valiant fan since the 90’s. (Hell, I even followed Shooter into the Defiant comics, but that’s a story for another day.) Currently, Valiant books are the only superhero books I read (I read a lot of Image and Vertigo and other indie stuff these days). I grew up on Marvel and love…

HammerTime and Space Continuum?

But that’s exactly my point: this was not something new, it was recycled.

But it came from the original movie’s creator, not a financial meeting.

I’m not talking about sequels that come from the same creative place as the original. I’m talking about the ones we’re getting these days. Ones based off things everybody loves and because of that it will make a certain bottom line.

The thing that makes them want to reboot/sequelize a movie is the thing that a reboot/sequel can never have: that shared, bonding joy of discovering something new that shapes our cultural perceptions and lives with us for the rest of our lives. We’ll go to see them (to varying degrees), but we don’t love them and…

Can I ask a stupid question? Why don’t batteries already do something like this? Is it deliberate “planned obsolescence”; push people to buy more batteries? Is it just inertia in the manufacturing of batteries; if it ain’t broke don’t fix it? Would it make them to expensive? But wouldn’t mass production change that?…

I think the question here is if io9 is trying to provide a useful, accurate review of a show or click-and-comment-bait. If the latter, nice job. If the former, please find someone else. Germain appears to be incapable of seeing what’s actually there.

I feel your pain. The struggle is real.

I’m sitting through a meeting right now where the development, testing, etc, dates are being determined by the project manager’s ability to use Microsoft Project.

I might because I like the sense of humor in the trailer. The reason I didn’t go see it is the line in the original trailer about how they good all the smart people somewhere else and built all this cool stuff. What, and left the rest of us to die miserably? I just didn’t like that concept. I might watch on VOD,…

So Barry Allen is a Highlander?
