io9 Talks To Geoff Johns About Making Superheroes Scifi

In the last few months, comic book writer Geoff Johns has taken Superman out of Metropolis and into space, the future, and alternate dimensions, as well as making former has-been Booster Gold into a time-travellin' paradox-defeatin' hero. With his alternate-world-spanning DC Universe: Zero (co-written with Grant Morrison) in stores tomorrow, it seemed like a good time to quickly catch up with Green Lantern and future Legion of Super-Heroes writer Johns, and ask him what's with his recent reintroduction of science fiction into the superhero genre.

Latest by n/a: I like Geoff Johns as a writer, but I'm a Marvel guy and I just can't get into DC's second tier guys, which seem to be Johns's bread-and-butter. But I like the approach of getting Superman out of Metropolis, so I'll more »

Battlestar Galactica Is Back... And We Have A Plan

There's pretty much only one big science fiction show on the schedule for this week: the long-awaited return of Battlestar Galactica on Sci Fi. And the other big news of the week is Spike's huge Star Wars marathon, including the first time one of the prequels has ever been televised. But there's some other worthwhile stuff going on, including a decent Torchwood, the end of Legion of Superheroes, and a major turning point for the animated Transformers. Oh, and you can learn how to live to be 150. What can television not do for us? Minor spoilers ahead. More »

TV This Week: Chief Tyrol Invades Smallville

It's your last chance to get to know Kyle XY this week, and your second-to-last chance to discover Jericho before it goes away, maybe forever. Those both happen to be shows that I really disliked when they started, and they've both grown on me a lot. Meanwhile, Smallville features Chief Tyrol in full crazoid mode, and Lost has a script co-written by Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man). Click through for clips and full listings. More »

Must Read: Legion of Superheroes: The Great Darkness Saga

Must-read comics are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-read is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.

Title: Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga

Date: 1989 (reprinting material from 1980)

Vitals: The universe finds itself threatened as science finds itself defeated over and over again by that old-time religion, albeit of the dark evil kind. Classic 1980s superhero storytelling crossed with old-school space opera and a dry sense of humor, this story made the Legion of Super-Heroes one of the best-selling franchises of the early '80s.
