Slayerverse Anthology Coming from Joss Whedon and Dark Horse!

Buffy Summers is neither the first nor the last in a long line of vampire slayers – many of whom we’ve seen in tales written by series creator Joss Whedon, his writing room partners (Jane Espenson and Doug Petrie), and veteran comics writers and artists (Tim Sale, Alex Sanchez and more).

Dark Horse’s new anthology, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus: Tales, collects these stories in 294-page anthology that will be in stores on October 17th.

Justice League: The More The Merrier!

Justice League – (L-R) Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), The flash (Ezra Miller) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) – Photo courtesy of Warner Bros.

Warner Brothers has done something no one would have predicted a year ago – released to good-to-great superheroes inside a calendar year. (No, they’re nowhere near Marvel consistently, but they’re moving in the right direction.)

Justice League maintains the portentous/brutalist look that director Zack Snyder set for the DCEU, but following the few faint glimmerings of wit in Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman – and the wit, charm and adventure of Wonder Woman – the film maintains the levels of danger and conflict from earlier DCEU films while making a point of balancing its darkness with genuine fun.

NYCC 2017 – We Have to Go Trailer: Justice League!

Earlier today, Warner Bros. dropped the final trailer for Justice League.

It still has the kind of ponderous feel of a Zack Snyder film, but is leavened with some very potent humor (personally, I’m going to see Justice League for Aquaman’s somewhat flip attitude and zest for battle, alongside The Flash’s geeky awe and enthusiasm).

Justice league opens on November 17th.

Avengers: Age of Ultron – Super Superhero Fun!

1 Comment

avengers-age-of-ultron-No Strings

Three years ago, Joss Whedon’s Marvel’s The Avengers blew everyone away by taking a group off characters who should never have been in the same room together and making us believe that they could save the world together. It was fresh and new and shiny.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is not fresh and new and shiny – but it is a fresh look at why these characters should, in fact, be in the same room even as cracks appear in the team that foreshadow less happy things to come.

Cineplex Movies has hosted three cool behind The Scenes featurettes for Avengers: Age of Ultron – featuring interviews with Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Joss Whedon (writer/director) and Barry Gibbs (Prop Master).

Pretty much all of the video is pretty cool, but the coolest thing is that we get to learn how mere mortal Hawkeye can stand amongst Thor, Hulk and Captain America (mid-warping arrows, anyone?).
