Unable to wait for a sequel to The Incredibles for one minute longer, the talented artist Edwin Rhemrev took it upon himself to make his own Incredibles 2 artwork. And the result is very impressive. It's so glorious we almost wish this was actual Pixar concept art, and not just one fan's dedication to a great movie. More »

It's a strange week of new releases when the best thing may be a prose novel, but Peter & Max isn't just any prose novel... Also, old(er) school Spider-Mans and alien-horsehead Thors abound in this week's comics we crave. More »

Was this week's release of the first trailer for The Last Airbender - more than a year before the movie's release - too little too soon? At what point does a trailer risk boring an audience ahead of the movie? More »

This week's comics are all about the Boom! By that, I don't mean that they're more explosive than usual, just that one particular publisher is bringing the goods, while everyone else slacks off a little. More »

Looking at all the Incredibles concept art that Pixar illustrator/art director Lou Romano just posted on his blog, I can't help hoping we get an Incredibles 2 eventually. It's pretty much the only movie whose sequel I would go see no matter what. Not least because it's the proof that a smart take on superheroes doesn't have to be bleak in the Chris Nolan mode. But also, looking at the unused concept art for villains we never got to see makes me wish they'd pop up in another installment. A few more of our favorites are below. More »

ABC is bringing back your favorite suburban superheroes in its new TV series The Nelsons. For an hour every week, you'll watch as the family crams saving the word in between soccer games, minivan errands and trips to the grocery store. This latest addition in the long line of Hollywood hero work was inspired by the famous Disney CG super family The Incredibles, but The Nelsons will be all live action. What seals the deal for me is if they get the original super dad Coach, Craig T. Nelson, back to play the father. More »

For the first time ever, two animated science fiction movies will open the same day, this Friday. Of course, Star Wars: Clone Wars will smush the flies-in-space epic Fly Me To The Moon like... well, like a bug. But this animated traffic jam is still significant, because of what it signals: the rise of animated science fiction from a minor subgenre to a full-blown genre in its own right, complete with a range of competing styles.

Before Comic-Con even got underway, Boom! Studios was stealing headlines with the announcement of their new deal with Disney/Pixar that will see six new series based upon Pixar movies hitting comic stores soon. All of the names you'd expect to see are there, including this summer's smash Wall-E. But our pick for the must-have series? Former Flash and Fantastic Four writer Mark Waid's take on The Incredibles, with cover art by DC: The New Frontier's Darwyn Cooke. More »

You may have thought Meet Dave bombed because it's the latest in a long string of unfunny Eddie Murphy movies... but it turns out there's another reason. The movie bombed, at least in part, because Fox refused to market it as science fiction, believing that nobody likes SF, and especially not SF comedies. Whether or not you care what happens to the bland Dave, the explanation of why Fox buried it, in the L.A. Times, should concern you. More »

Hollywood often does such a bad job translating comic books to film, it's better to start from scratch. When movies create their own original superheroes, they can have the cool comic booky trappings, without the need to include/ignore/defile decades of print history. If it works (The Incredibles) you get something really fresh. When it doesn't... it's only about as bad as a superhero movie based on a comic. Click through for our list of superhero movies that didn't have a direct comic-book heritage. More »
