Buzz Iron Man

  • Geeks of Doom has posted a gallery of 25 Cosplay Babes of Dragon*Con 2009, but they are all beat hands down by The Best Poison Ivy Costume of All Time.
  • Worth 1000 has an excellent gallery of Marvel/Disney Hybrids.

Comics

  • Oops, wait! Spider-Man’s Villains: Not Rapists, Says Creator… just a naked cuddler.

Film

  • News: Bruce Campbell to Play Mysterio in “Spider-Man 4″?
  • An open letter to all Michael Bay fans regarding Megan Fox’s behavior on set has commenters speculating on its true source. Personally, I don’t think I’d want to work with either of these people.
  • Entertainment Weekly counts down the 21 Worst Comic-Book Movies, starting with The Spirit.
  • io9 spells out Shane Acker’s 9 Rules For Creating Great Post-Apocalyptic Movies, none of which are “The slutty girl dies first.” So technically, these don’t apply to horror films.
  • Rotten Tomatoes looks back at 25 Memorable Slasher Starlets starting with Janet Leigh.

Internet

  • GeekDad weighs The Pros and Cons of Bringing Your Kid to a Con. Check out my solution to the issue in the comments!

Literature

  • Interview: The Chronicle Herald interviews Margaret Atwood.
  • Interview: Omnivoracious interviews dark fantasy author Caitlin R. Kiernan.
  • Interview: Sequential Tart interviews Mike Allen, editor of Mythic Delirium.
  • Interview: Suvudu chats with Chris Evans, author of The Light of Burning Shadow.
  • News: E-books are only 1 to 3 percent of the publishing market but growing fast.
  • News: Primary school students have been banned from reading the teen cult classic Twilight books in Australia because they are too racy and contradict religious beliefs.

Television

  • How typical. Just as it was stepping up its game, Defying Gravity gets canceled.

Writing

  • Fantasy Magazine is holding a Halloween Flash Contest. Write a 1,000 words on an image of your choice.
