Saw some of this footage already during ABC Family’s Harry Potter weekend  several weeks ago.  But its cool to see it again.  There is a 30 second Ad pre-roll before the video starts.

New Comics 8-11-10: The all Blade edition

I guess this week is Blade week,   we get a double dose of the Vampire Hunter. It amazing how he can be such a star on the big screen and yet he struggles as a comic. Over the years he has had several on-going series but no ongoing series.    I wonder if its simply the concept of a vampire hunter thats limiting. Is it something thats only good in small  doses?  Does it get stale after 12 or so issues?   Or is it simply another victim of the minority character curse in comics.

Maybe, we are waiting on some writer to write the defeinitive Blade story something along the lines of Frank Millers run on Daredevil.   It’s my understanding that Daredevil was on the chopping block before Miller saved it. Maybe that’s what Blade needs that one great story to get things going. While you are waiting on that to happen you probably need to check out Ultimate Comics Avengers 3 #1 (of 6) and X-Men #2.

Star Wars as Blacksploitation Movie

Here’s a trailer for Black Star Warrior which was screened at Comic-Con.  I really don’t have much to say about it other than fandom knows no limits.

Malik Yoba Joins Alphas

117034_D_2491

Malik Yoba who starred as Ted Shaw in ABC’s Defying Gravity has signed on to SyFy’s new show titled Alphas.

From SyFy’s announcement: Alphas follows a team of ordinary citizens whose brain anomalies imbue them with extraordinary mental and physical abilities. Taking the law into their own hands, the unlikely team, led by Dr. Lee Rosen (David Strathairn) investigates cases that suggest other Alpha activity to uncover what the CIA, FBI and Pentagon have not been able or willing to solve. These gifted individuals must balance their quirky personalities and disparate backgrounds with their not always visible powers as they work to solve crimes, stop the ticking time bomb and catch the enemy.

I will probably watch the show even though it reads like several other shows and comics that I’ve seen or read before.  I won’t pass judgment on a show without having seen it, but let’s just say I’m a bit suspect about where the show might be going.  SyFy isn’t known for cancelling underperforming shows without giving them a full season to get an audience, so at least it won’t be cancelled the way ABC cancelled Defying Gravity.  I liked Defying Gravity and thought the show had potential.  I even liked Yoba’s portrayal of Ted Shaw.  SyFy has launched some great shows over the last couple of years, Eureka, Warehouse 13, Sanctuary, to name a few.  Maybe they’ll keep up the good track record.

LeVar Burton’s Con-CERNed

LeVar Burton released an 8 page comic short with Dark Horse Comics called Con-CERNed.  ComicsAlliance has posted the short in it’s entirety here.  LeVar isn’t the first celebrity to try is hand at writing a comic book.  Almost a year ago, we posted a story about Tyrese Gibson’s Mayhem, which he was seen promoting at this years Comic-Con in San Diego.  I don’t have a problem with LeVar Burton and Tyrese Gibson venturing into these types of projects.  I kinda wish more guys like them would do more comics. Click HERE to read the whole comic.

Souce:
ComicsAlliance is pleased to debut the entire eight-page comic short, entitled "Con-CERNed," which follows physicist Simon Barstow as he confronts the mystery of his bizarre new abilities obtained while investigating the Large Hadron Collider.

Mark Ruffalo To Be The New Hulk In ‘The Avengers’ | The Flickcast.

I think Rufflalo will be a better Bruce Banner than either Eric Bana or Edward Norton.
