James Doohan, Chief Engineer Montgomery “Scotty” Scott, has died today at the age of 85.
Meanwhile, comic book great Jim Aparo died yesterday at 72.
Jay Pinkerton’s take on the FF film appears here. Not for all ages.
This week’s shipping
list has a grand total of one item I’ll be picking
up, and that’s Ultimates 2 #7. Other
notables include Day of Vengence #4, getting
ready for this October’s Infinite Crisis,
JSA Classified #1, Astonishing X-Men
#11 (which I’ll get in TPB form), Daredevil
#75 (which I’ll get in TPB form), Defenders
#1 (of 5) (which launches the new miniseries),
Doctor Spectrum: Full Spectrum in TPB form
(which I should get around to reviewing, as I have the
issues; it really doesn’t add much, and certainly
isn’t a “must read”), new printings of Essential
Spider-Man volumes 2 and 3, Exiles #67
(which I’ll get as a TPB), House of M #4,
Marvel Knights 4 #20, The Pulse Vol.
2 (which I should also get around to reviewing;
it’s not bad, but must work as a companion piece to
the main title), and Ultimate Spider-Man #80
(which I’ll also get in TPB form.)
My favourite television series of all time is finally

pick of the week in that week’s DVD column.

If you haven’t read the book, you may not want to read this either, because the discussion will be full of spoilery goodness. (I actually just made sure of that. The very first comment WILL spoil you.)
(Aside: You don’t have to use the spoiler tags in this discussion. You shouldn’t be here unless you’ve read the book and are willing to be spoiled. You Have Been Warned.)
Charlie Jade and Blues Paddock join forces… And other things.
The prequel to the Serenity movie has begun.
Just try to keep me from issues 2 and 3.
