News You Already Know

- So it's official that Robert Downey Jr will play Tony Stark in the new Iron Man movie. We also know that Terrance Howard will be playing Jim Rhodes. The director has already confirmed that the Big Bad will be the Mandarin so expect the casting to be announced very soon.

- Stephen Wacker has left DC to become an editor for Marvel. Hopefully this won't hurt the releases of 52, as of right now every issue has shipped on time. No word yet on what Wacker will be doing for Marvel.

- Dwayne McDuffie will be taking over Fantastic Four after JMS leaves. I have no idea who Dwayne McDuffie is.

- Marvel Comics Presents will be returning. The book will consist of 3, 8 pages stories from different artist and writers and will mostly likely be shipped bi-monthly. There's even a crazy ass rumor that the book could be weekly. If true they would need a really good editor who has worked on a book like that. Hey wait a minute.

- Gregg Hurwitz will bring back Foolkiller to Marvel under the MAX imprint in February of 2007. You can get a sneek peek at this book in the MAX Sampler book that came out today.

- Heath Ledger Hates You! This one is old news but I just wanted to make sure I posted it. A few weeks ago Heath "The Joker" Ledger was quoted saying how much he hates comic book movies and think they're boring as fuck. I still think he's going to be a dope Joker but what a dick.

- Speaking of "The Dark Knight" Christopher Nolan has confirmed that Harvey Dent will be in the movie but has yet to be cast. I'm still hoping we get Hugh Jackman as old Harvey.

There Can Only Be One

The Books Revealed

This post will reveal the titles that I'll be pulling this month to take part in "There Can Only Be One." You'll notice only five books will be mentioned on this post. The sixth book will be choosen by DC Harris. Harris was the only person to guess so he wins!!! Congrats to Harris, he even spotted the RoboCop cameo. Now keep in mind, your choice must be a book that is monthly, no bi-monthly books. SO here are the books that were choosen at random.

From Image Comics - Task Force One
From DC/Vertigo - Fables
From DC - Superman
From Marvel - New Excalibur
From Marvel - Ghost Rider

These titles were all choosen at random. With the exception of Superman, and Fables, I have no real history with any of these titles. In the next couple of days the rules for Round One will be posted.
