Another one bites the dust – Doctor Voodoo canceled after 5 issues

According to writer Rick Remender it’s over with after issue #5.  ”While the series is concluding with issue #5, Jericho is very much a part of the Avengers universe and will continue to be a presence in upcoming events,” promises Remender.

The cancelation of this book and War Machine ( the final issue hit stores last week)  means that the Black Panther is the last man standing  in regards to solo titles .

In regards to Voodoo it never had a chance.   For a number of reasons

  • The first issue had a $3.99 price, which is high for a book without a A-list writer or artist.   They should have let Bendis write the first arc before handing it over to Remender.
  • Voodoo became Sorcerer  Supreme in a a New Avengers story arc other than that he was scarcely seen.   Marvel should have  have built up some momentum for a a book like this by having a magic based event similar to Annihilation.
  • Its tough enough to get a succseful book with a Minotrity lead but the editorial strategy set this book up for failure.

Quick Review: 2012

2012

 

This will be quick.  The Mayans predicted that the Earth has an expiration date. (Unfortunately, some people went and talked to some Mayans and they looked at them like they were crazy, so apparently the Mayans have no idea what we are talking about).  The best thing about this movie were the effects.  The amount of detail that was put into the destruction of some of our treasured landmarks was some of the finest special effects I have seen in a long while.  If you are a fan of catastrophe or disaster movies, then this movie will be right up your alley.  There are many explosions, crashes, and even a dog (a must in good disaster flicks.).

Aunjanue Ellis Joins the Mentalist

Source

aunjanue-ellisAunjanue Ellis (Undercover Brother, True Blood) has been cast as the new director of the CBI.  The Mentalist follows the crime fighting of Agent Teresa Lisbon and her team.  Lisbon is assisted by former psychic/medium entertainer Patrick Jane as an independent consultant whose talents as a celebrity psychic/medium are key to solving tough cases, most times with his intuition and perceptions he solves a case before the investigation begins and spends the rest of the time finding evidence to back up his theories.  I like the show and thought the show was lacking diversity even with Tim Kang as a cast member.  I think she will be a fine addition.
