It's easy sometimes to forget what a long legacy of great artists DC Comics has worked with over the years. Thankfully, they shine the spotlight on many of these individuals through the release of graphic novel collections featuring their work. They've recently published volumes concentrating on masterminds such as Alan Moore, Neal Adams, Jack Kirby, and Archie Goodwin.
Alan Moore is best known as the co-creator and writer of Watchmen. However, his artistic reach exceeds far beyond that. DC Universe by Alan Moore shows off the scribe's genius through stories featuring Swamp Thing, Superman, Batman, Robin, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and others. It also gives time to lesser-known characters such as the Phantom Stranger, the Vigilante, Voodoo, Deathblow, and the Omega Men to name a few. The art for the different stories is provided by greats like Jim Aparo, Jim Baikie, Brian Bolland, Paris Cullins, George Freeman, Dave Gibbons, Klaus Janson,...

Number Two Strikes Again! Yes, can you believe it, Another round of issues whose assigned number is that of Two! Because They Came After Number One! Some of you might be recoiling in horror but let me assure you, this is all part of the act, folks. Nothing to worry about here so give in to your morbid fascination and read on…
Dinosaurs Attack! #2
Writer: Gary Gerani
Artist: Herb Trimpe & Earl Norem (cover & interior paintings)
Colorist: George Freeman
Publisher: Idw Comics
Price: $4
Dinosaurs Attack! is about as silly as a horror comic can get, and I mean that in the best way. The first issue was fun but also was weighed down with sci-fi melodrama intended to set up the absurd premise of malevolent dinosaurs literally teleporting on Earth’s surface and wreaking carnage. With this issue, the intriguing though convoluted exposition takes a backseat to what this whole series is really about: dino-driven ultraviolence.

Welcome back, fellow sentinels of the sequential sublime, to Comic Execution, where I look at the big new releases of the week and either eviscerate them or shelter them tenderly beneath my black wings of hard earned love. Comics, man. You know how that saying goes; “It’s those you’re closest to that you feel strongest about.” Ain’t nothing gets me going like a magnificent story told through a medium as potentially robust as this one. Just don’t ask me for $4 of my precious dee-pees (it’s short for dead presidents, you greenhorn) and shovel me another tedious retelling of why nobody loves you. Spoiler; it’s because you’re boring.

One of my favorite time periods in the Star Wars universe is the Old Republic. The original game for Xbox is one of my all time favorites. It is with this background that I dove into Star Wars: The Old Republic #4.

Now here's some great news to kick off your morning with. Despite reports of disagreements, etc, Ridley Scott's Alien prequel(s) are gaining some serious momentum!
As per New York Magazine's Vulture:
"We’re told all involved parties have been made to sign nondisclosure agreements about the plot, but our spies have been able to glean several interesting nuggets about the project, which is set roughly 35 years before Scott’s dystopic classic," writes Vulture. "Here's what we know ...
One reason Fox execs are so thrilled with Damon Lindelof's Alien draft is that, not only is it creatively engaging, but it adds no expensive "set pieces" — production-speak for elaborate, effects-heavy action sequences that add millions to the cost of a film — to the movie. 20th Century Fox and Scott have been wrangling over the director’s proposed budget. One insider familiar with the situation puts Scott’s suggested budget...

Exclusive: -- I've just learned that Jay Sures and Tracey Jacobs at UTA have signed Darren Star, who's got a first-look deal at HBO and is developing a show there but also wants to make the transition to feature films. (Star and Jacobs have had a 20-year friendship.) Star was long repped by Aaron Kaplan and Jim Wiatt at the old William Morris Agency. Neither tenpercenter lasted through the merger, and Aaron still works closely with Darren. At Wme, Star was repped by George Freeman and Nancy Josephson -- until today. Darren, of course, is responsible for 90210, Melrose Place, [...]...
