12 Jun 2008  Media

Comics

  • AMC’s Nick Nadel argues that Green Lantern Could Be the Next Iron Man.
  • ComicMix has written a guide to 10 Comics you Must Read Before you see The Incredible Hulk film this weekend. It’s a bit strange that he doesn’t include any books from the Hulk’s first series, but I supposed you’d be hard pressed to find them anyway.
  • Randy Queen of “Dark Chylde” fame is working on a new Top Cow comic series called Starfall which will follow a crew of space pirates who have crash landed on an uncharted jungle planet where they – and this is the good part – unleash nanobots that transform the planet’s dinosaur and cannibal population into zombies!

Film

  • CNN asks for William Shatner’s thoughts on the upcoming Star Trek movie.
  • Entertainment Weekly lists 17 Sci-Fi Misfires, with Jumper and Vanilla Sky topping the list.
  • Interview: Cinematical interviews M. Night Shyamalan, director of The Happening.
  • M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening: the critics will hate it. Duh.

Literature

  • ClarkesWorld Magazine has an interesting editorial defending the state of short fiction, entitled Chicken Little and the Death of Short Fiction.
  • Free Fiction: Feed Books has posted “The Day of the Boomer Dukes” by Frederik Pohl.
  • Free Fiction: Strange Horizons has posted the short story Alone in the House of Mims by Barth Anderson.
  • Interview: Tor Books Blog interviews Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother.
  • The List Universe has compiled a list of Top 10 Most Controversial Non-Fiction Books, with the Bible coming in at number one.

Television

  • Blake’s 7 is back. The sci-fi classic from which many of Star Trek’s gadgets and plot devices are… stolen? borrowed? homaged? …will soon be coming to Britain’s Sky One.
