To take advantage of the poster's display of Hugh Jackman's almost grotesque musculature, I photoshopped in a rendition of his brown and orange outfit, not that we'd ever see it onscreen.

The Wolverine in Classic Brown Costume
The teaser poster for the new Wolverine movie has been making its rounds. Rumor has it that the new movie will be based on the classic miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. The two stories will at least share the same location, Japan, if anything.

Doctor Who Series 7
The first half of the new season of "Doctor Who" has already come and gone. It has been a somewhat loose tradition for me to review new episodes on this blog. This year, I've made my opinions heard (and ignored) thru the WhoNA message boards.
What amazed me the most was that most of the new series is very polarizing. Meaning, that I could either watch any episodes over and over again or live a rich and fulfilled life without ever seeing a particular episode again.
Series 7 was completely different in a middle-of-the-road sort of affair. I wasn't really turned off by any episode, but I wasn't really compelled to see any of them again, even the Western one which I was looking forward to. It was high time we said goodbye to Amy and Rory, about one and half series too late.
In a few months, there will be a new Christmas special, a new companion, and, more than likely, a new look for "Doctor Who." I wish Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman all the best.
"I wear a waistcoat now. Waistcoats are cool."

Red Menace
Danny Bilson and Paul DeMeo are responsible for introducing to two of my long-time loves, the movie adaptation of "The Rocketeer" and the television adaptation of "The Flash."
Imagine my surprise when purusing my local comic store's half off box that I came across a trade paperback labelled "The Red Menace," written by said duo along with Adam Brody. The story is about war hero turned costumed vigilante Steve Tremaine who gets ensnared in the red scare of the 1950s.
To be honest, another big selling point was the art by Jerry Ordway. Ordway is another favorite of mine, and his clean-cut art seems to be underappreciated nowadays.
The story focuses on the characters and the drama created by their conflicts, almost constricted by an imaginary budget for a television show. It actually would make a great TV mini-series. Too bad they went extinct a couple decades ago.
