Never Mind This Week's Comics, Look At The Boxes

I swear to God, it's absolutely not a comment on the quality of this week's comics when I tell you that the best thing arriving in comic book stores this week is a lunch box. I promise you, it's not like this week's comics are bad or anything, but come on: Look at this lunchbox and tell me that you're not tempted. You are, aren't you? It's okay. You can admit it (For more straight forward Serenity lunchbox nerditry, you could always look here). But you came here to know about comics, right? Hit that link and join me under the jump. More »

Scifi And Kung-Fu: The Ultimate Team-Up

Science fiction and martial arts totally belong together. After all, they both involve a deep introspection and awestruck contemplation of our place in the universe. Oh, and nothing improves a story about robots and aliens more than people kicking each other in the head. Yet, shockingly enough, scifi and kung-fu only really found each other pretty recently.

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.
