Preview The Future of 3 Worlds
Sure, everyone may be talking about Entertainment Weekly's preview pages from DC's big summer event Final Crisis (see Morning Spoilers). Yeah, you can read the original script as well as the finished pages from the beginning of the series. But they're not the only preview to a big DC Comics series available online. Want to see the future of the Boy of Tomorrow? Come under the jump. More »

WTF Casting News From Wolverine And Heroes
Sometimes, you sort of know how a particular movie or TV episode is going to go, after you read a bunch of spoilers. And sometimes, you see a new spoiler and have no clue how it's going to fit together with what you already knew. Case in point: a new casting announcement for the Wolverine movie makes no sense to me at all. There's also a new character joining Heroes, who could put a different spin on the show's existing relationships. (And one fan is going nuts trying to make all the random Battlestar spoilers fit.) And then there are the weird-but-true hints about upcoming Doctor Who episodes, the confusing Lost clips, and the cryptic pages from DC Comics' Final Crisis. But even when spoilers add to our confusion, we have to consume them anyway. We're spoilervores! More »

It appeared at last month's New York Comic-Con, and then again in last week's DC superhero comics. Later, an easy-to-read version showed up as part of an interview with DC Comics head honcho Dan DiDio over the weekend. I'm talking about the whiteboard of doom. This is DC's latest attempt to tease fans with hints of what's to come in the next year or so. Having trouble telling your JSA from your JLA on the whiteboard, and wondering what it all means? We'll try and make some sense of it all, under the jump.

Despite what many of you merry perverts may think, it's not all musclemen in tights and axe-wielding schoolgirls in short skirts in comicbookland. Although, to be fair, both of those categories are represented in this Wednesday's comic shops, as the pre-Summer lull gets filled with reprints and all manner of plot maneuvering to get all the players on- and off-stage before the big storylines take over next month.

This Is Grant Morrison On Drugs
The most shocking revelation from Grant Morrison's panel at New York Comic-Con: comics' most trippy writer was a straight-edger until he turned 30. After that, of course, the floodgates were opened and it was drugs, drugs, drugs, as he explains in this clip, courtesy of Zach from ComicRelated.com. Besides explaining what on Earth fueled The Invisibles, his 1990s punk-paranoid comic, Morrison also dropped a few hints about Final Crisis — hope you'll be glad to see Frankenstein in issue 3.

Superman, Batman Face Their Mortality And Morality In Final Crisis
Marvel's Secret Invasion may be the comic book getting all the press right now, but DC's Final Crisis is truly the big idea event comic of the year. At least, if the latest interview with writer Grant Morrison is anything to go by. A seven-part series involving all of the DC Universe and detailing what happens when the good guys lose, Morrison is promising things fan have never seen before when the series begins in May. More »

Learn the Rules of Crossover Comic Perfection
With Marvel's Secret Invasion in full swing and DC's Final Crisis mere weeks away, it's worth looking at just what it is about superhero comics' crossover summer events that make them the four-color equivalent of your first sexual experience. They're something you get all excited about ahead of time before the actual incident goes by quickly and leaves you ultimately unfulfilled. Or maybe that's just me. Experience has taught us that there are some easy steps to follow when creating a superhero crossover involving many fan-favorite characters that will, inevitably, lead to sales success. Utilizing them can take you from near obscurity to something approaching success or, at least, your own soon-to-be-cancelled spin-off from the Avengers. More »

Future Teens To Save Universe In Epic Manner
Because drhayes demanded it (and who says we don't listen to our readers?), DC Comics have released some more information about the Legion of Super-Heroes-related tie-in to summer blockbuster Final Crisis. Called Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds, the five-part series aims to tell a story that "is epic in its scope [going] across the universe, all across Earth, across time and space," according to writer Geoff Johns.

Less Lesbians and Teenage Death In Upcoming DC Comics
Hope you weren't getting too excited about that Batwoman series that Dan DiDio said was happening last night; today's DC Universe panel included DiDio admitting that he'd made a mistake, and that it was actually Batgirl who was getting her own series, not DC's favorite lesbian crimefighter. Other than that, the DC panel was again light on actual announcements, with DiDio answering one question with "If you go to the New York Comicon [in April], I'd have answers for all you guys [asking about new series]." That said, there were some interesting hints and answers amongst the bantering about Final Crisis, dead teenagers and why DC as a company is going to start cracking down on creators.
