Sometimes, when a TV series ends but the creators aren’t ready to give it up, a show can be continued in comic form. Siskoid from the Blog Of Geekery wants you tell him some other shows that could do with a “new season” in comic form. So head over there and give him your ideas. He won’t see them here.

Superman may get heck for sticking with the traditional costume, mostly because of the trunks, but none of the attempts to revamp that look has worked. It’s hard to change something so iconic to the character. You see him and you know instantly it’s Superman. It’s like Iron Man, who has redesigned the look of his armor numerous times and made most of them work.
Comic Drake decided to take a look at some of these awful costume. While I think the Electric Superman costume isn’t too bad under the circumstances it doesn’t really have that iconic look to it. Of course, even the costume changes that tried just never made it work.

They’ve got the theme song down, but how did the show do?
I seem to have a problem catching the start of stuff lately, and I don’t think it’s just the recent game of musical cable providers. I went looking for the start time of Power Rangers Beast Morphers and didn’t find it. I just stumbled upon the listings for the episodes. However, episode 1 leads into episode 2, and maybe 3 does the same thing since we have yet to see the MegaZord in action. At least I learned about before episode 2 and caught episode 1 in reruns.
Beast Morphers is the first Power Rangers show from Allspark Pictures, the movie and TV arm of toy company Hasbro, who now owns the shows and toy license. So there’s some question as to how well they will do. The toys premiered at the New York Toy Fair and it shouldn’t be a surprise that they know what they’re doing there, although I have yet to see the Zord toys in action. The MegaZords from BanDai have made nice statues and decent toys but they lacked in articulation, as have their action figures. However, I’m not here for the toys, I’m here for the show. How is it?

I’d make a joke about the bottle being Tony’s worst enemy, but he’s a recovering alcoholic, so it kind of is.
