#11 In this weeks ATFMB podcast, I talk about scifi television, including the renewal of Fox hit Fringe for a 3rd season, Chuck’s ratings win that might mean a 4th season and how i09 has a list of 25 books Hollywood should be making movies out of, how HBO has greenlit a new series based on [...] Make me famous:
            Comic Books If you’ve been hanging out here on the blog or on my twitter feed, you know by now that I am a huge comic book geek. I once had a monthly habit that was the equivalent of a car payment. Not a nice car. Not even a good car. Probably more like an ‘ok’ [...] Make me famous:
As with any great comic book series based on a licensed television property, DC’s Star Trek: The Next Generation had it’s ups and downs. They were able to do things that the television show could never do for various reasons, including budgets. That’s not always a good thing, though, because you can go places that [...] Make me famous:
In 1989, the ongoing, monthly series based on the hit television series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, hit comic book shelves everywhere. Written by Michael Jan Friedman and drawn by Pablo Marcus, this series was better than the 6-issue miniseries that had preceded it. But not by much. They were still finding their way, but [...] Make me famous:
I can still remember the excitement when the commercials started; there was a new Star Trek coming soon. The channel was 26 (that’s UHF, folks), KMPH, in Fresno California. It was.. 86? 87? Probably the latter. This new Star Trek was set in the future of the future, with an all new crew and an [...] Make me famous:
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero In honor of the DVD release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about the Joes lives in the comics. Specifically, I’m talking about the Marvel series that ran from the early 80’s into the mid 90’s, something like 155 issues. It was [...] Make me famous:
Born in the mid to late 30’s, Flash Gordon has been present in one form or another for nearly 80 years! How cool is that? Alex Raymond first brought Flash to life as a comic strip in the newspapers of the day. From there, he traveled to radio shows, movies, tv shows, cartoons – you name [...] Make me famous:
Before Hal Jordan or John Stewart, Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner came along, there was another Green Lantern. The Original. Born in the ‘Golden Age of Comics’ (1930’s-1940’s), this Green Lantern was more magical than SciFi. His name was Alan Scott. Alan’s story is different. Created in the late 30’s/early 40’s by Martin Nodell, The Green Lantern’s [...] Make me famous:
Taking a look at some of my Spider-Man Comics today and it struck me that there were a lot of variations on a theme when it comes to the Goblin. The original was, of course, Norman Osborne as The Green Goblin. I don’t believe this is him in the costume (It’s Harry): There were 2 covers [...] Make me famous:
Gather ’round children, and let old Uncle Morty tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a meeting of the minds at old Marvel. “Spider-Man,” they said, “Is stale. We’ve done it all! Peter’s married to Mary Jane, his life is going all right for a change. Sure, he has a Goblin trying to [...] Make me famous:
