Emily S. Whitten: Getting Started in the Comics Industry
22 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
I love comics. I love reading them, thinking about them, discussing them, and even critiquing them. I also love writing them, something I’ve discovered in the last couple of years as I started writing a series of webcomics about characters in upcoming comic book-related movies, which were then published on movie news websites like MTV Splash Page and ReelzChannel. Since that time, I’ve realized that I’d really like to keep writing comics, including, hopefully someday soon, full issues for a major company, to be seen by all the worrrrrrld [insert maniacal laugh here].
That may seem like a big leap, but it could happen. After all, most of the people who are or have been involved in professional comics started out just as I did: as ridiculously huge fans of the medium and the characters and stories. I mean, sure, maybe a few here or there got pulled into a job »

Exclusive Q&A with Kevin Sorbo, Stelio Savante and Stephen Wallis on romantic comedy The Whole Banana
8 April 2012 5:20 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Upcoming movie The Whole Banana may feature elements of ancient Greek mythology but, as the whimsical title suggests, it's far removed from any of the other recent productions that have clashed their immortal titans on the big screen.
Instead of a gritty action film with furious gods and fire-spewing fiends locked in deadly battle, you will find a heartwarming tale of charm and humour that promises to show us what it means to be human.
Filming is under way in Los Angeles on the romantic comedy, whose all-star cast of movie and TV favourites includes Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) and Kristy Swanson (Buffy), with large cameo roles from Matthew Perry (Friends) and Dean Cain (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman). We previously reported that Resident Evil actress Sienna Guillory and the Farley brothers had also signed on to the production.

Farley brothers join Sienna Guillory, Matthew Perry, Dean Cain, Kevin Sorbo in Greek gods comedy The Whole Banana
15 March 2012 1:11 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Greek mythology is an inspiration for many big-screen productions at present.
These include Immortals; Clash of the Titans and its imminent sequel Wrath of the Titans; and Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief, also getting a follow-up in the form of Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.
Now it's a case of Greek mirth as the gods of the ancient world are given a humorous twist in The Whole Banana.
Brothers Kevin P. Farley (Joe Dirt, The Waterboy) and John Farley (Jack and Jill, Get Smart) - both pictured above in 2008's Blonde and Blonder - have been announced as signing on to the romantic comedy in as-yet-unspecified roles.
They join a cast including Resident Evil star Sienna Guillory, Kristy Swanson, Kevin Sorbo, Dominique Swain, Stelio Savante, Clint Howard and Jeffrey Vincent Parise.

Mindy Newell: Who’s Dead As A Doornail?
13 February 2012 5:00 AM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Death aims only once, but never misses.
(Maxims: Political, Philosophical, and Moral, by Edward Counsel)
Except in comics.
I was doing a search for quotes about death when I found this one, which is so apropos. I never heard of Edward Counsel; did a Google search, but couldn’t find him?? Found a reproduction of his book on Amazon; the original was published before 1923. All I can gather is that he was an Australian who was born before 1900. Anyone who has more info is welcome to let me know in the comments section.
The reason I was looking for a quote about death – of which there seems to be milllllllllions – is because all us comic fans are buzzing about the YouTube video The Death and Return of Superman, by Max Landis (son of John Landis), who stars in The Chronicle. I was going to post it here, but Martha (Thomases »

Martha Thomases: The Death and Marriage of Superman
10 February 2012 5:00 AM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
The Internets (by which I mean, mostly, Facebook) buzzed this week with a YouTube video, The Death and Return of Superman. It’s really funny, written, directed, and starring Max Landis, son of one of my favorites, John Landis, and also the writer of this week’s box-office champ, Chronicle.
If you haven’t seen it yet, take a look:

I like everything about this but the premise: that the powers-that-be at DC Comics decided to kill Superman because it was an easy way to draw attention to their flagship character and thereby increase his popularity.
Not true. If anything, in 1992, Superman was more popular than he had been since the John Byrne relaunch.
If DC was going to pull a stunt to make Superman more popular, they would have done it when I was first hired to be publicity manager at DC, »

Tonight on Criminal Minds Sneak Peek: What is Going on Between Garcia and Morgan?
The last outing of Criminal Minds was the 150th episode and we got a glimpse of how Emily's (Paget Brewster) return to the Bau has affected her emotionally. Despite the brave face that Emily has put on Hotch (Thomas Gibson) believes that she needs to address what she went through. The emotional connection between these characters is evident and Emily does indeed reach out to Hotch at the end of the episode. This connection isn't anything romantic yet, even if some viewers would like it to be, but is tonight going to be the start of something between two of the other members of the team? Spoilers ahead.
Morgan (Shemar Moore) and Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) have flirtatious banter all the time, full of innuendo and 'baby girl' talk but could this week see them take this relationship beyond this? »

Our Superman Expert Responds to 'Chronicle' Screenwriter Max Landis' Ridiculous Superman Parody
7 February 2012 11:26 AM, PST | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Update: And now Max Landis has responded to Jeff's critical dissection in the comments below. Even though Superman was the most popular and marketable comic book property for over 40 years, many today feel that he is difficult to relate to today because he’s too powerful or too good. Superman still retains a fan-base, but it has shrunk considerably since he was on top. In 1992, the comic book creative teams had planned to marry Superman, or rather his secret identity Clark Kent, to his long-time love interest Lois Lane. Nearly a year’s worth of stories had been mapped out, but Warner Brothers decided to hold off because a new TV series, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, was prepared for release in the fall of 1993. If successful, DC would prolong...
