February has come and February has gone and thank GOD for small favors. I shoveled so much snow, I could have built my own snowman army, complete with ice fortress. I’m pretty sure I’m with the rest of the East Coast when I wave my white flag at the gray skies. Spring will be greeted with joy at the Jersey Shore, I’ll say that much.
Things remain busy prepping for Season 2. In the past week, we’ve gone through our first writers meeting, which produced a LOT of ideas, ranging from understandable to out-of-this-world-insane. You’ll be seeing a little bit of both when Zeke and company return.
In the meantime, we’ve begun to roll out our first set of Issues wallpapers. Week One features the tag team of Madeline and Edgar, available for free in our Download page! Like what you see? Want to submit your own work? Email us: issuestheseries@gmail.com.
There has been plenty of comic book news this week. What does that mean? Time for some WORD BUBBLES…
-DC is making progress with its movie team, with The Flash finally circling director in the form of the “Green Lantern” movie co-writer Greg Berlanti. So…Superman and Batman have the Nolans, Green Lantern has Martin Campbell…gotta wonder how long it is before we start hearing JLA rumors again.
-What’s that? They’ve already started again? Neeeeeever mind. Wonder Woman and Aquaman are still unavailable for comment.
- Apparently Chris Nolan may be trying to pitch his brother as the new director of “Man Of Steel” (the proposed title). In retrospect, it’s a good thing I didn’t include the following in my DC Movie Drinking Game: “Take a shot every time a new rumor comes up regarding the next Superman movie…”
-Deadpool gets a corp. Answering the question, What is cooler than Deadpool? A TEAM OF DEADPOOLS. Bravo, Marvel.
-You don’t need to look like Mickey Rourke or Jeff Bridges to get a piece of the Iron Man armor. You WILL need to have some cash though. Bidding will go down during the C2E2 convention and online. Head to the Propworx website to start your bidding! http://ironman.propworx.com/
-Mark 2 armor a little rich for your blood? Gotta give legit props to the production team behind the Iron Man 2 action figure line. These have to be among the better looking mass market figure likenesses yet.
-Anyone else find it amusing that The Losers lost their original premiere date? Apparently it’s now June 4th, though I’ve heard they’re now back to the original April 9th date.
-Brightest Day to follow Blackest Night, complete with ring giveaway. Rumors swirl of the top secret Overcast Afternoon.
Way too easy...
-Angeline Jolie has bowed out for a sequel to the unexpected hit “Wanted”. Is it too easy to say the sequel is now dubbed “Unwanted”?
-Weird Casting Rumor of the Week: John Crasinski as Captain America? Seriously Well…I’d say we’re about as far off the path as can possibly be now. Any other Marvel fans sweating yet? Best/worst part? I would totally choose him over Chace Crawford, best known for his role on “Gossip Girl”. Other contenders for the shield include Scott Porter (an almost-cast member of the aborted JLA movie) and Michael Cassidy (who played Lex Luthor’s cloned brother on “Smallville” ironically).
There can be only one...
-Scott Pilgrim vs. The World screened in the Garden State this past week. According to reports over at AintItCool.com, Michael Cera is…pretty much being Michael Cera for most of the movie, but the rest of the cast makes up for it according to early viewer reports.
