Personally I’m just fine NOT being the best on this one.
Well, if they wanted to ensure I didn’t buy a new DC comic, they’re doing a bang-up job. I would like to get all the stuff with pre-aged Jon Kent but otherwise I’m not seeing what I love in the DC universe anymore. There’s a host of reasons I have a Death Of DC category…and here’s a new one. Apparently originality is dead as well.
The Death of the Justice League is only the beginning of the story. Superstar writer Joshua Williamson (BATMAN) and artist Rafa Sandoval (THE FLASH) bring you the beginning of the next big DCU event starting in JUSTICE LEAGUE #75, available at local comic book shops and participating digital retailers on April 19!
“We’ve been building to the Death of the Justice League for the last year across the main line,” said Williamson. “I remember buying DEATH OF SUPERMAN 30 years ago and now we have an opportunity to take that idea and go bigger with it. JUSTICE LEAGUE 75 allows us to showcase why the Justice League are comics’ greatest heroes as we show the aftermath of the loss against their biggest threat ever and its impact on the DCU.”
You still don’t get it, do you?

You know, in all the time I was going to nightclubs this only happened once…except either it was outside or I was and missed it. Thankfully.

YouTube has tried to go beyond the self-creator video hosting site for a while, but now one of their projects is done. Variety is reporting that YouTube Originals, original shows funded for YouTube, is shutting down, with a few of their shows already picked up by larger networks. It’s still doing the hosting of Hollywood projects on demand ad supported and purchase, as well as YouTube TV but this is one project that didn’t go well for them I guess.

If you’re not going to get proper adaptations of comics that are cultural icons I shouldn’t be surprised when a webcomic turned movie gets things wrong. For example:
I finally stumbled on the trailer for Marry Me and while it might end up being a good movie, it has flaws adaptation wise. You didn’t know it was a comic? I did. I used to have the digital issues via WOWIO until they shut the site down while I was otherwise occupied with my first recovery and starting this site. I think I have some issues around here on some form of storage but I haven’t had the chance to look.
Marry Me is…well, was, a webcomic from maybe 2007? All I can find is info on the digital and physical collections and a hard to use page at Keenspot that I think goes through the whole comic but I didn’t have time to find out. This wouldn’t qualify it for Scanning My Collection anyway since while digital comics are allowed I have to either have them in a library on the site or my computer. I technically own that copy so it’s technically part of my collection. Since I don’t have the WOWIO comics on this computer and I’m not sure I have them on CD or floppy either (maybe as part of that clutter organizing project I’ll stumble on them) I do at least have access to the first issue thanks to comiXology, who has the whole series up for 99¢ an issue or $4.99 for a trade collection, and the first issue for free. All I had gotten from WOWIO was the first two or three issues so at least I recovered one of them. So let’s compare what’s in the actual comic to the trailer and see what the movie unnecessarily adds just from what we see there.

Blatant Comics/Keenspot I guess (2007ish, posted to comiXology October, 2010)
WRITER/CREATOR: Bobby Crosby, whose credit I don’t see in the trailer, Universal Pictures!
ARTIST: Remy “Eisu” Moktar
Now if comiXology can let me read the comic without constantly coming up with errors so I have to backtrack maybe I can review this thing. What’s with this site lately? Get your act together, Amazon!

I will never escapes this quack, will I? Every time I think I don’t have to mention his name anymore, Fredric Wertham managed to get into the BBC’s rather questionable look at Superman since it seems to be as critical of Superman. I imagine I should go over this special in greater detail in the future. The article writer thinks its news that Freddy boy tries to paint Superman as Nazi propaganda (despite being created by two Jewish men a decade before Hitler began his crusade) but if you’ve been here long enough you’d know that this is just Wertham being Wertham.
