Michael Davis: The Black Plague
14 May 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
There is an unwritten law in the black community: support black projects in the arts, especially film and television ventures. The thinking is if we don’t support them then it will be that much harder to get another project made with black stories as the draw.
It’s hard as shit to get a black project green lit in Hollywood unless your last name is Perry. I’ve seen one Tyler Perry film and have no desire to see any others. It’s just not my thing. Nothing but respect for the man and his work but it’s just not for me. His films are the thing for an awful lot of black people and that is the audience he and his partners at Lion’s Gate pursue.
Now, a film like Red Tails was my thing. I’m a sucker for anything WWII and the story of »

Michael Davis: DC Is Coming Out
16 April 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Orson Scott Card does not like gay people. In fact, I think it’s fair to say he hates gay people. Orson Scott Card is writing Superman stories for DC Comics. A lot of people are pissed over that, but DC is standing by their man.
But will Orson Scott Card still stand by DC?
Why, you ask, would I ask that? Because DC Comics now has a transgender character the first ever in comics…except for Johnny Storm but he is on the down low and come on, that’s so freakin’ obvious. DC’s new transgender character is also…wait for it…wait for it…
Wait for it… Bisexual!!
But wait! There’s more!
Alysia Yeoh is her name (I think she’s Asian and if so…hot!) is the roommate of Batgirl!
Batgirl is living with a bisexual transgender hot Asian woman. Clearly Orson Scott Card won »

The New 52: What Could Be Cancelled Next?
10 April 2013 3:08 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
DC’s New 52 began as a highly profitable idea for the struggling publisher. It saw a huge boost in sales and interest for DC’s books and for a while they were completely dominant over the Diamond comic-book top 10. However, times have changed and through a cross between creative differences and Marvel Now!, DC currently are publishing a lot of struggling titles again. This is something that has been reflected in the large number of cancellations they have announced lately.
Here, I’m going to go through DC’s top five worst selling New 52 titles that have yet to be cancelled and make some predictions on their futures…
1. Batwing
Currently Selling: 13K copies per month
Status: Last Chance!
Batwing was a title that started off very strongly in The New 52 with 41,000 copies sold in September 2011. However, since then it has lost nearly 30,000 of those readers, and now struggles around the 13,000 mark. »

Michael Davis: And A Dollar Short
2 April 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Denys Cowan, Dwayne McDuffie, Derek Dingle, Christopher Priest and I founded Milestone Media 20 years ago. Really. I know to some that feels impossible, but it’s true. 20 years ago Milestone Media was formed and still to this day is the most successful African American owned comic book company in history. It’s hard to believe and even harder to believe that I was just five years old when Milestone began. Heh. Over the last 20 years Milestone has continued to make history. The amazing success of Static Shock on television, continued publishing of the Dakota Universe over the years and a ever growing and loyal fan base. This year the legend of Milestone will be cemented for all time when Comic Con International, the biggest pop culture event in the world, honors Milestone 20th anniversary. That’s huge but what I’m about to reveal here is even bigger. Milestone is back. »

The Pitch: Justice League Heroes 2
27 March 2013 10:37 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
DC Comics has been busy of late, what with announcing a brand new Moba style game Infinite Crisis as well as having their new fighting game Injustice a month away from hitting store shelves. So, while the iron is hot why not give some love to a would be franchise of yesteryear named Justice League Heroes.
Why would we want that? Jlh has many factors going against it yet still remains fun and worthy of your time. So it stands to me that if given the proper time, love, and money to succeed Warner Bros. might have another hit on its hands and we might get the game we truly wanted in the first place. What's not to love about that?
What is Justice League Heroes?
Jlh is at its heart an action RPG. Each hero comes with their own combos and special abilities, and heroes can perform special teacup attacks as well. »

Radical Batman Beyond Character Designs from Kizer Stone
15 March 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
One of my favorite artists Kizer Stone has taken the opportunity to create some really fun character designs for Batman Beyond. I love the designs he's come up with and like a lot of Stone's illustrations I'd love to see these brought to life in an animated series. Look over the designs he's done so far and tell us what you think of them!
Here's a note for the Batman design you see above:
Can anyone say minimalism...lol! Thought of making Terry Mcginnis as a slightly older dude right out of high-school. This extremely temporary outfit that Terry chooses doesn't differ much with the previous in terms of the skin tights but design and functionality wise it's a bit diff.
Meet Terry new college friendo Mr. Bart Allen. Thought of Bart here as a sly, nonchalant carefree dude that may live in 2026 but grew up on a healthy number »

Michael Davis: It Was Twenty Years Ago Today
12 February 2013 10:00 AM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Actually it was twenty years ago, but it wasn’t today. Look, any time I get to use a Beatles lyric in anything I write I’m using it. Nothing says witty and clever like a Beatles lyric or a Tupac and Biggie reference.
Case in point. One time too freakin’ many an ex-girlfriend asked me in an email if I thought she was getting fat. I was so sick of answering the same freakin’ question over and over again. She would ask when she and I would be on a date, in a car, on the phone, texting and one time I could have sworn she screamed it out during sex. I can’t be sure of that I couldn’t hear her clearly as I was, at the same time, screaming out my name. Yes, I scream my own name out during sex. Someone has to.

First trailer for Superman: Unbound
4 February 2013 12:13 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
2013 is a big year for Superman fans as director Zack Snyder (Watchmen), producer Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Rises) and screenwriter David S. Goyer (Batman Begins) attempt to banish the ghost of Superman Returns (and Superman III and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace for that matter) with the release of Warner Bros.' hotly-anticipated reboot Man of Steel.
However, while Henry Cavill takes to the skies in Man of Steel, the Last Son of Krypton will also take centre stage in the latest entry in Warner's DC Universe Animated Original Movies line, Superman: Unbound, which has just received its first trailer today courtesy of Nerdist.
Loosley based upon Action Comics' 2008 'Brainiac' story arc by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, Superman: Unbound sees Matt Bomer (White Collar) voicing the Man of Steel alongside John Noble (Fringe) as Brainiac and Castle co-stars Stana Katic and Molly C. Quinn as Lois Lane and Supergirl. »

Justice League Animated: Making of the Series Part 5
23 January 2013 3:17 AM, PST | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Green Lantern (Phil Lamarr) Andrea Romano: Phil Lamarr was an actor I’d worked with on a series called Static Shock. He had done an audition at his agent’s office and I thought he was very, very good. I called up some people who had worked with him and tried to get some background. If I’m going to commit to a series with somebody, I want to know that it’s going to be a pleasant experience. I like to think of putting together a cast as being similar to putting together a party. Who’s going to have fun together? Who’s going to play well together? Who’s going to bring something to the party? As I was doing my research on Phil, I got very positive response, he gets the joke, he understands what’s going on. Like I said, I had gotten to know him on Static Shock. »

Guardians Of The Galaxy Shortlist of Lead Actors Adds Smallville’s Michael Rosenbaum
3 January 2013 3:15 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Just yesterday we reported that Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Looper) was included on the shortlist of actors vying for the lead role in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. We presumed that, since an earlier report had mentioned an unnamed actor in the mix in addition to Zachary Levi (Chuck) and Jim Sturgess (Cloud Atlas), Gordon-Levitt was the last candidate. Well, today's news brings word that Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville) is also under consideration for the role of Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord. Hit the jump to get this sorted out. Rosenbaum Tweeted that he recently read for the lead role (via IGN): Read for my pal @JamesGunn Guardians Of The Galaxy for Peter Quill. What a treat! Thanks Jimmy. @Marvel Best known for his role as a young Lex Luthor on Smallville, Rosenbaum has other ties to the comic book world having done a number of voice-over spots. His experience in animated fair is on the DC side, »
