Her headless ghost screamed foul prophecies for thirteen minutes before it faded.
Twenty years after DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths, both major comic-book companies are engaging in major housecleaning and renovations. DC began theirs with Identity Crisis, and will finish (for the time being) with Infinite Crisis, the first issue of which will appear on shelves in October of 2005.
DC’s mystic heroes appear (and in many cases, disappear) in the six-issue series Day of Vengeance.
One of two high profile genre shows that have not yet
launched this season, Ghost Whisperer stars
Jennifer Love Hewitt as someone who can communicate
with the dead. (The second genre show that hasn’t
started yet is The Night Stalker, which
premieres on Thursday, Sept. 29.)
DC will publish this 12-part series bimonthly over the next two years. Although the premise is unusual, this series may come closer than the All-Star comics to that line’s stated intent of presenting DC’s heroes at their most iconic. More importantly, Justice features Alex Ross’s incredible artwork. The first issue has been published with two different covers: the Justice League and the Legion of Doom.
ABC’s new follow-up to Lost. In the opening, Hurricane Eve hits the small town of Homestead, FL leaving behind…something.

The second episode of the series, also directed by
David Nutter, was (in my mind, at least) less
impressive than the series premier. Still, I’ll keep
watching it, though I doubt I’ll have time to review
more than Smallville this season.
With the new series about to premiere, we’re reviewing the original 1972 tv-movie. The production drew top ratings (hey, there wasn’t much choice in ’72), and spawned three other tv movies and an occasionally witty series, Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974-5) which presaged The X-Files, and is an acknowledged influence on that show.
Available here. The subsequent series (which holds a few gems) has recently been released on DVD.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the
water…
