George Lucas has announced that filming for the 4th Indiana Jones movie will begin next year. This latest chapter will hit theaters in May 2008. Lucas didn’t reveal the plot for the movie. But he did say it’d be a “character piece” that will include “very interesting mysteries.” Take that for what you will.

Comic book urban legends
CBR’s “Comics Should Be Good!” column has a regular feature on Comic Book Urban Legends that I just discovered. Some of these are very intriguing. Steve Ditko uses his priceless artwork as cutting boards. Anyone can produce a Phantom Lady, Human Bomb or Black Condor comic book. James Robinson did not ask to kill off …

former President Gerald Ford has died
He was 93. He is best known, to me anyway, for saving our country the dishonor of trying and/or convicting a (former) President of the United States, by pardoning Richard Nixon. He was also the only American President never to be elected. He was the first and only POTUS who took the seat upon the …

Merry Christmas!
And what would the holidays be without festive music, performed by the late, great Bing Crosby and the Sov… I mean, David Bowie! And for those who might feel ‘alienated’ this holiday season, let’s remember this wonderful song a few years ago: On a more serious note (well, not really), you might want to set …

DOCTOR WHO is a show based on the idea that anything is possible. The Doctor goes to different time periods, various worlds and has encountered hundreds of other characters. He’s had a few recurring enemies and dozens of companions and assistants. And sometimes, even when those friends leave the Doctor, fans want to still see …

Kistler’s Review: CASUALTIES OF WAR
I have been following CIVIL WAR since it started (even picked up some of those ROAD TO CIVIL WAR books, if they seemed interesting). Fittingly, I have been divided about the cross-over. I think some of the tie-ins have been written with better skill than the main mini-series itself. I think there has been some …

Thank God!
Newsarama has a new interview with Archie editor Victor Gorelick (that’s go-rel-ick for you non-Archie fans) and artist Steven Butler, the guy behind the “new look” Archie. http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=95140 Some excerpts to put our minds at ease: VG: I did not feel any pressure with regard to making this change. We’re not going to change all …

More Shameless Self-Promotion
A review of Civil War # 3-5, an in-depth look at Amazing Fantasy # 15 (the greatest origin story ever) and my own thoughts as an Archie fan (and founding member of the Friends of Big Ethel, Dearborn Chapter) on this newfangledness are all in the works. You might even see one of these by …

Good stuff tho) can get together, comment, blog, etc. It sounds like the site will be adding new features soon. In the meantime, heres the link. Oh, by the way, TODAYS MY BIRTHDAY! …

The unproduced finale to Dungeons and Dragons
Did you ever wonder if those cartoon kids whose theme park ride trapped them in the Realm of Dungeons and Dragons ever got home? Alas, the show was canceled without a finale. Yet, now it can be told: the Final Episode of Dungeons and Dragons. The Unproduced Dungeons and Dragons Finale, at least the rough …

Archie to try new fatal mistake
Archie Comics is going to change the look of Archie. Instead of the cartoony appearance that has gone through only minor changes over the last half-century, Archie, Betty, Veronica and the gang will now be drawn as (ahem) “realistic” teenagers. That is, if realistic means that all the girls are underfed 13-year-olds. Here is my …

Keeping my fingers crossed!
eBay: Simpsons Christmas Express – 31 Cars – Hamilton Collection Yep, that’s me. I’m selling my Simpsons Christmas train. No bids yet, but if this sells at all it’ll probably all happen in the last 45 seconds. And yes, I’ll be selling some comics collectibles in the next few weeks.
