We believe we have found the perfect choice to take on this role and lead us into the future.”

Producer Laura Ziskin: “We are thrilled to have Andrew Garfield for this new incarnation of Spider-Man under Marc Webb’s direction. We were fortunate enough to meet with a group of fantastically talented young men. In the end, we all agreed that in addition to being an extraordinary actor, Andrew had the right mix of humor, youth, and pathos, along with an underlying sense of strength and power necessary to bring Peter Parker and Spider-Man to life on screen.”

Akward Moments in Comic Book History….

So I’m reading the exciting conclusion to the story arch I have been raving about on the Giggaheim Podcast in JSA #40 when I happen across this page:

JSA has an Akward Moment

I personally thought it was funny, but this article from The Onion also sprang to mind. Now I thougt this page was great, and it was comical to see the “old guard” react to the joke. I’m curious to see how the comic book community reactis, if at all.

Mark Millar To Return To 'Old Man Logan'

Mark Millar vs Marvel EditorialOne of the most popular Wolverine stories might get a sequel. Mark Millar, Author of the original Old Man Logan, Civil War, and Kick-Ass, announced on his MillarWorld website that he is pitching a sequel to the futuristic elseworlds tale about everyone’s favorite adamantium-filled mutant, Logan. Having read the first book that was illustrated by Steve McNiven, I’d say “bring it on”. Since sales numbers were high (est. 120,000 copies per book) I’m sure Marvel will use this license to make money and put it to good use. Why snkt a golden goose?
