It only stands to reason that a time machine that's bigger inside than outside would have a very large closet indeed. Especially when said closet has a special hidden room that contains mannequins wearing all your old clothes under dramatic lighting. Upcoming Doctor Who comic The Forgotten brings back more than just the outfits of all the Doctor's previous incarnations - it brings the old incarnations back too.

Seven Dubious Methods of Avoiding Pregnancy in Science Fiction
In a universe stocked with sentient robots and faster than light travel, you'd hope that science would have mastered something as mundane as the human reproductive system, yet the fictive cosmos are littered with unplanned pregnancies, bastard children, and all manner of unpleasant critters bursting from one's internal organs. Is any form of contraception safe in world of science fiction? We looked at seven tried and true methods and started to worry that the future we’ve envisioned is one in which we’re all paying child support. More »

Find Out How To Make A Superhero in This Week's Comics
Here's hoping that you’re not looking for something new from the Big Two comic publishers this week, because both DC and Marvel Comics have apparently found themselves so exhausted by their Secret Invasions and Final Crises that they're pretty much taking the next seven days off. Not that that means that you'll be starved for new superheroic flights of fancy, as tomorrow brings two new superteams to your comic book retailer of choice. Find out about heroes trained by patricide and schools inspired by canopies under the jump. More »

Y Not Two Last Men?
If they actually manage to make the movie of Y: The Last Man, all about the only man left alive in a world of women, it probably won't be nearly as weird as Sex Mission, the 1984 Polish sex comedy. Sex Mission (Seksmisja in Polish) is about two guys who go into cryo suspension for a few years — only to oversleep and wake up in a post-apocalyptic world without men. The world is run by uptight rollerskating lesbians, who decide to neuter our two heroes. (And, in the clip above, the men finally score using some truly awful pickup lines that would really only work if you were the last guys on Earth.) Sorry, the video has one brief sound dropout and a couple of minor jumps.

We Reveal The Ending Of Batman: The Dark Knight
This morning's batch of spoilers includes a first look at Will Ferrell's Land of the Lost movie and a new clip of Doctor Who. We also have a plot twist in the new Batman movie that would be pretty surprising, if true, and a few new details about the Y: The Last Man movie. There are some new details about Smallville and Lost, and a massive report about exactly who is a shape-changing alien in Marvel Comics' huge summer storyline, "Secret Invasion." It's all spoilers from here on out! More »

Shia LaBeouf May Still Be The Last Man (Er, Boy) On Earth
Director D.J. Caruso still wants Shia LaBeouf to portray the lonely male survivor Yorick in gender apocalypse comic Y: The Last Man, which apparently means he's trying to make a career out of directing movies starring "The Beef." Caruso's already made Disturbia and Eagle Eye with The Beef, and now has plans to make a trilogy out of Y featuring Shia saying "no no no no no" a lot. While there's no doubt that Shia has some unexplained mind-control power that makes teenagers flock to him, we don't think he'd do justice to the role, although if the other choice is Topher Grace (Y artist Pia Guerra's choice), then we say bring on the LaBeouf.

The Secret Inspiration for "Y the Last Man"
Everybody thought comic book creator and Lost scribe Brian K. Vaughan was so creative when he came up with the premise for post-apocalyptic comic book Y the Last Man. In it, a mysterious force wipes out the entire male population of all species except for the main character, Yorick, and his male monkey. But we didn't realize Vaughan had copied the premise from a fifty-year-old romance comic! Behold the just-revealed inpsiration for Y, brought to light thanks to the researching powers of the dude behind comics blog MightyGodKing. More »
mark waid
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.

Last night in Los Angeles, MySpace Comic Books along with Meltdown Comics on Sunset Boulevard held a fundraising "meet the stars" benefit for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund in honor of the final issue of Y: The Last Man. Co-creators Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra were feted by the likes of Joss Whedon, Grant Morrison, Mark Waid, Drew Goddard, and an honest-to-god live monkey. Although the party was sponsored by Vertigo Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics, Top Cow Productions, and Monster, Mark Waid said he would have funded the CBLDF for one year if they would have given the monkey a knife and let it run amok. Check out the list below for highlights, including the pornographic origins of Y, and what the secret connection is between Doctor Who and the series. Needless to say, if you haven't read the series, there be spoilers ahead.

Y Not Just One Movie?
If you've been wondering how the sprawling Y: The Last Man comic book saga could fit into one movie, you're not alone. Screenwriter D.J. Caruso originally wanted to fit all 60 issues of man-killing plague action into one film, but now he says it should probably be a trilogy instead. The first film would adapt the first 14 issues of Y, leaving an open-ended conclusion for two sequels. [Slashfilm]

Genderapocalypse Scifi Comic "Y The Last Man" Ends Gracefully
Anyone feeling that Lost writer Brian K. Vaughan's Y: The Last Man wasn't quite science-fictiony enough will no doubt be happy with the book's sixtieth and final issue, released today. Featuring at least two sci-fi staples along with, you know, actually taking place in the future, the epilogue to the whole story didn't sacrifice character for last minute shock or spectacle. And even though it answered a few lingering questions, the issue still managed to provide a fitting conclusion to the popular series. Minor spoilers and thoughts on the end of Yorick's era after the jump. More »

The Last Glimpse Of The Last Man On Earth
Let the New York Daily News claim that this week in comics is all about the replacement for the dead Captain America. Sure, watching Bucky Barnes go from teen sidekick in WWII to cyborg assassin in the Cold War to new Sentinel of Liberty may be an enjoyable pastime. But for those of us in the know, there's only one comic book that's a must have this week, and it ain't that one. To find out what it is, join me after the jump.More »

Comics Bash Celebrates the Destruction of Mankind
Proving that there is little in the world hotter than the combination of nerds, MySpace and Joss Whedon, tickets for the MySpace-sponsored, comic-commemorating Y: The Last Party sold out within hours of the event being announced yesterday. February's event celebrates the final issue of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's post-male-apocalyptic fantasy Y: The Last Man, due to appear in stores at the end of this month. It takes place in popular LA comic store Meltdown, and Whedon - a collaborator on the Buffy Season 8 comic - will give a "keynote address," cementing his position as the Steve Jobs of geekdom. More »
