Starting issue 38, a new Justice League of America will be formed. The team will be formed of Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Green Arrow, the Atom, Batman, Mon-El, Donna Troy, Cyborg, Doctor Light, Starfire, Congorilla, and the Guardian.

Okay, what? This is probably the least iconic JLA I’ve ever seen. I totally loved the JLA lineup during the Morrison era, and understandably they had to give that lineup a rest. I also liked the Meltzer lineup as well, although I’m disappointed they disbanded that group way before they could be given great stories. (continue reading…)

BRB you guys. Real life caught up with me. Comic book reviews will return with a vengeance.

To quote this article from ComingSoon.net:

“Samuel L. Jackson has buried the hatchet with Marvel Entertainment, making a deal to play the role of Nick Fury in Iron Man 2, and potentially many other films.

Jackson’s deal is a long-term commitment to play Fury, the leader of the espionage unit S.H.I.E.L.D. His deal contains an option to play the character in nine future Marvel superhero films, efforts that are expected to include The First Avenger: Captain America, Thor, The Avengers, toplining a possible S.H.I.E.L.D. movie, and potential sequels.”

What say gentlement? Is this awesome news or what? HELL YEAH!

Dammit Matt Fraction, keep up the Black Widow/Maria Hill slashy innuendos.

Since I’m swamped with work and shit, I’m making this quick. Frank Miller’s Ronin is going to be adapted into a motion picture and it’s not going ala-Snyder by doing a frame-by-frame adaptation! Huzzah! I was getting sick of those frame-by-frame adaptations anyway.

Anyway, from CBR:

“Ronin,” the graphic novel Miller created at DC after his legendary stint on Marvel’s “Daredevil,” tells the story of a masterless samurai reincarnated in the hard sci-fi world of a future New York City. Mixing manga influences, cyberpunk stylings, heady philosophical themes and Miller’s signature brand of rough-hewn art, the book has long been in development as a film. Once under the purview of director Darren Aronofsky, things picked up for a “Ronin” film after White became attached in 2007. And while the director wants to remain true to the original story, he said that a project like “Ronin” would only be hurt by attempting to film it panel-for-panel, as Miller adaptations like “Sin City” and “300″ were done.

Can I get a FUCK YEAR?

Anyway, the film will be directed by Sylvain White, director of the… dance film “Stomp The Yard“? Wait what?
