"i for one am very interested in reading his continuations." I'm not because it just won't be the same, no matter who's writing it.

It is getting to the point where I wonder why I buy DVD's when the companies keep pulling shit like this. I could toss out 75% of my DVD's right now and not miss any of them.

The whole Riddick things seems like a lot of potential that nobody has yet to figure out how to capitalize on. Have only seen a bit of Pitch Black, but always heard great things about it. Went to see Chronicles of Riddick and was left wondering what all the buzz was about.

Apparently Kirkman believes it's easy for everybody to break into the industry if he thinks everybody must work on their own projects before going off to work for Marvel or DC? Maybe that isn't the case, but it's the impression he leaves. Maybe in his vision for a grand utopia of comics he failed to notice that something like 75% of all comics sold come from Marvel and DC. And there is no guarantee that you'll ever be able to get your own stuff published, whether pre-Marvel/DC or post. The market is just that jam packed with stuff right now that it's hard to get noticed.

"The better film won; Marvel has had its day in the sun for far too long now. It's time for DC to reclaim the throne that is most rightfully theirs now." I can only laugh at how so many are passing such judgments. Better film = nothing more than opinion; plenty of great films have had crap box office, and plenty of crap films have earned far more than they deserved. Box office does not determine quality at all. Marvel has been top for so long = yep, Marvel should just start putting out crap so DC can finally put out better films. How about putting the onus on WB/DC to improve their quality instead of giving us films like Superman Returns? A throne that is rightfully DC's? Uhuh. See again: Superman Returns. Catwoman. Of their own characters, from their main universe - you know, the equivalent of the Iron Mans and Spider-Mans, not the side-stuff like Watchmen and V For Vendetta - DC has had one home run and several strikeouts. What's really sad is that it's taken WB this long to notice that people want QUALITY adaptations. The Dark Knight is not enough to show that they've learned their lesson.

"What else is there to do after his film got raped by TDK though?" What the hell are you talking about? Is $300 million suddenly a drop in the bucket? Iron Man didn't get raped by anything. I've read a lot of stupid crap on this site, but this one just might take 1st prize.

"Famke Janssen's throwaway dispatch of James Marsden's Cyclops...threw a monkey-wrench into the entire proceedings, and saddled X-3 with a burden from which some felt it never recovered."<br /> <br /> And that was just the beginning for X3. From Juggernaut being a mutant, to Beast's blue fur also apparently due to his being a mutant, to Callisto not being, well, Callisto. Toss in a complete lack of accents for Storm, Pyro, and Colossus, and you have a clusterf*ck against comic book canon. I expect this mess to continue, to some degree, based on what I've read for Wolverine.

It kind of tells you something about the World Science Fiction Convention when it takes place in Denver, where I live, and it's about sci-fi, which I utterly love, and I have no smegging clue that it was even happening. But three Hugo's in a row for Steven Moffat. Nice!

I've been looking forward to getting Iron Man on DVD since I saw the film. But, I'm still disappointed that with each new release, the extras on DVD's are getting thinner and thinner. I also wonder how long it will be before all extras are only available on a Blu Ray release, rather than DVD, as a means of pushing the format.
