Which Scifi Villain Would You Elect President?
We're sick of watching our would-be commanders in chief descend into mean-spirited wrangling, so early into this presidential election year. If only they could take their cue from our greatest presidents. Like Lex Luthor in the Superman comics. Or Sylar on Heroes, who got to be POTUS in an alternate future. Now those were some presidents we could all salute. Which science fiction villain would win your vote for president of these great United States? More »

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.

Last weeks's mid-season finale of Smallville just helped underscore everything that's been going wrong with the show over the slow trainwreck of the last few seasons. Smallville won't be dying a painful death due to the writer's strike, because there are six more episodes completed and ready to air, but last week's finale does make us wonder if the show should go on. Here's why. More »

Must Read: Superman: The Man Of Steel
Must-read graphic novels are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.Title: Superman: The Man Of Steel
Date: 1986
Vitals: John Byrne reinvented Superman from the ground up with this series, collected in an easy-to-find graphic novel. The biggest changes: Lois Lane is less ditzy, Lex Luthor is a suave businessman instead of an obvious maniac, Superman's Earth parents aren't dead, and Superman was never Superboy. More »

Must Read: All-Star Superman
Must-read graphic novels are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.Title: All-Star Superman
Date: 2005-present
Vitals: Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely create their own zany tribute to the Silver Age Superman, with stories about Superboy, a wackier version of Jimmy Olsen, and the Bizarro world. These pop-sci-fi stories straddle a serious undercurrent: Superman is slowly dying after overexposure to solar radiation. More »
