I was hoping to have the new logo done in time. Well, not so much a ‘new” logo as a fixed one. But this is the 5th year of BW operations and I have some much bigger plans for making this a good (and if I’m lucky an income-producing) website. The hard part is doing that without losing what makes the site work. And hey, I’m as close as I can get to the anniversary (November 16th, 2008) for this site as I can get with my schedule. Neat.
Yes, it’s time again to see what I’ve written in the past year that didn’t make me question WordPress giving me a blog. I added a new comic series, didn’t get a Video Review done (although I will at least have one for Christmas), and while nobody new picked me up I’ve seen plenty of people get interested in my work. Whether they stayed that way I can’t really tell. Still, these are my favorites of my posts from the past years-worth of BW Media Spotlight time-wasting.
The Silence do not appear in this comic. Or do they? Maybe I forgot.

Well, since I forgot the Saturday Night Showcase I thought I should at least start this feature I promised, making the article links a morning feature. This one comes from Cracked.com, as contributor David Christopher Bell noticed “4 Bizarrely Specific Rules Fairy Tale Adaptations All Follow“. It is interesting that fairy tale stories seem to be so interested in going back to the darker roots that they forget those darker tales were still for kids! Instead they’ve become action movies with more birds and plenty of hot actresses playing formerly ugly or scary characters. Don’t believe me? Read the article.

I don’t think this is going to get me on Project Rooftop. At least I hope not.
According to The Hollywood Reporter they’re developing a series based on Hourman. I don’t know a lot about either version of the character and I’m betting that’s what the CW is planning on, but I know they’re going to screw it up, if Smallville and Arrow are any indication. Does anybody at DC Entertainment besides the animation wing not understand how to create a superhero story with DC characters?
Bible quote for bonus points.
Nice to see superhero comic writers who remembers what superheroes are.
Speaking of which, for a good part of last week “Yesterday’s” Comic gave us a look at Sergio Aragonées and Mark Evanier poking fun at comics and a movie universe. For this week, if I can remember where I put them, we’ll look at their other collaboration in my longbox and the one that was my favorite comic miniseries until Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures In The Eighth Grade came along. Will a read-through help it regain the crown and why did I like it so much in the first place? You’ll just have to catch the Midnight (eastern time) review and find out.
