‘Star Wars’ Camera Sells At Auction For Record $625,000

‘Smallville’ Season 11 Might Be Coming… To Your Bookstore?

Comic Book Review: ‘History Of The Marvel Universe’ #1

Comic Book Creator Sues Producers Over ‘Cowboys And Aliens’ Concept
'Bizarre Fantasy' #1 featuring the tale 'Cowboys and Aliens' The concept of the film ‘Cowboys and Aliens’ isn’t high-art by any means. In fact, the film’s title is one of those rare instances (like ‘Snakes on a Plane’) in which what it says is exactly... -

Comic Book Review: ‘Green Lantern: The Animated Series’ #0
‘Green Lantern: The Animated Series’ is based on the Cartoon Network show of the same name. I watched the animated show when it had its premiere episode a couple of weeks ago and it was actually pretty darn good for being a CGI DC cartoon that didn’t involve Bruce Timm. This... -
