Comics
- Empire compares the Watchmen teaser trailer against actual Watchmen comics.
- Empire has an amazing list of The 50 Greatest Comic Book Characters… though the fact that Captain Haddock makes the cut does muddy it authority a bit. Superman, Batman, and John Constantine come in slots one through three.
- Peta jumps on the comic bandwagon with a list of the Top 10 Animal-Friendly Superheroes. How Jayna of the Wonder Twins got overlooked, I don’t know.
Film
- Nevermind the film sucked, the Christians didn’t like it, so it looks like The Golden Compass will have no Sequel.
Internet
- Popular Mechanics has taken a long look at the Dark Knight’s Bat-Pod.
Literature
- FireDog Lake invites you to ask “Little Brother” author Cory Doctorow questions.
- Free Fiction: Kyle Brady has posted many of the free books offered by Tor on DivShare and list them on his SciFi/Fantasy E-Book Repository.
- Free Fiction: “The Magician’s House” by Meghan McCarron is now available at Strange Horizons. (In two parts)
- SciFi Bookspot discusses Gender in Science Fiction, specifically suggesting the reasons why the industry really isn’t biased. (In two parts)
- The UK Telegraph asks “How bad was J.M. Barrie?” and leaves me feeling that all male authors of children’s literature may be creepy pedophiles.
Television
- Absolutely everyone saw it coming but Joss Whedon, poor bastard: Fox says Dollhouse series too dark.
- The Sci-Fi Channel has announced its craptastic development slate, which actually make you wish they would stick to wrestling.
Writing
- “Science Fiction’s Tragedy of the Commons?” suggests that tropes may be subject to abuse and overexploitation in the same way as any other limited resource?
