Crooked Men And Futuristic Slayers In This Week's Comics

And here's another way in which DC Comics isn't celebrating Superman's birthday - There's only one Superman comic this week. How could they hate him so mu - Oh, wait, it's just a scheduling thing? Oh, alright. And there's also a Supergirl comic for those who absolutely have to have their S-Shield fetish fulfilled? Well, that's pretty good, I guess. And there's an incredible amount of other books coming out this week, including new Hellboy and Joker. Oh, and Buffy fans? Fray returns. More »

Before I tell you all about Secret Invasion again — the first issue arrives in stores tomorrow — I have just five words for you: Zombies Vs. Robots Vs. Amazons. Ignoring the potential sequel, "Zombies Vs. Robots Vs. Amazons Vs. Your Mother," how much more awesome can one comic sound? Find out about the war to end all wars, as well as invading aliens who look just like you and other four color funnies under the jump. More »

Lightning Strikes With A Sucktastic Title For Shazam Movie

Director Peter Segal was at WonderCon plugging his upcoming Get Smart film, but he also talked a bit about the Shazam/Captain Marvel movie he's slated to helm. While he didn't reveal anything new (they're talking to The Rock about playing Black Adam, etc), he did say that the tentative new title for the project is Billy Batson and the Legend of Shazam. Which sounds like the name of one of those .99 cent DVDs they sell at Target near the front door. You know, the junk you've never heard of? Shazam! is a perfect title, and it might finally eradicate the existence of the Shaquille O'Neal movie Kazaam from our minds. [Comic Book Movie]

io9 Discovers Mark Waid's Awesome Arsenal Of Scifi Gadgets

Mark Waid is best known for creating the Kingdom Come graphic novel with Alex Ross, but his more recent run on Brave and the Bold has been of the best comics from DC lately. He's one of the quickest people to label himself a comic book nut, and his house is full of memorabilia. He ran down to his local comic book shop to pick up the JLA Trophy Room Kryptonite set, only to find the release date was pushed back. How will he repel Superman now? We caught up with Mark at the Y: The Last Man party in Los Angeles, where he revealed to us his deepest and darkest shame as a science fiction fan. More »

Shazam's Magic Word Is Fan-Wank

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson let the fans dictate which role he should play in the upcoming Shazam movie, according to About.com. Johnson was trying to decide between playing Captain Marvel (the good guy) and Black Adam (the bad guy). Really, the only difference between the two is that Black Adam is evil. And an Arab. Johnson asked the fans, and guess who they wanted him to be? More »
