Blackest Night #1 (DC Comics)
Writer: Geoff Johns, Artists: Ivan Reis & Oclair Albert
DC is calling this the most anticipated comic of the year. I’m not sure I agree with their findings, but this comic is sure to be a universe altering hit. This is not your typical zombie attack. Yes, the dead do rise again, but it is nothing like Marvel Zombies. This title is the culmination of a hell of a lot of history in the DC Universe. The preverbal “poop” has hit the fan, and the fight to save humanity in general, and superheroes, specifically, starts here. Geoff Johns is the perfect writer for this death-heavy event since he wrote the first six issues of Green Lantern: Rebirth, and Blackest Night is an off-shoot of that. What I want to know is, in the end of all of this death and dying trip, will we ever see Bruce Wayne again? Maybe Blackest Night will finally answer some questions.

The Discovery Channel was a few steps behind when they began what was actually a re broadcast of the Incredibly Strange Film Show. Sometime around 1988 The BBC network premiered a titillating treat for lovers of bizarre movies. The Incredibly Strange Film show focused on the films and filmmakers who you were not likely to see on Siskel and Ebert. As campy and tongue in cheek as the films it featured the show was hosted by Jonathan Ross a sarcastic and funny geek who unfortunately never experienced the recognition in the states that he did in the UK. Each episode took at look at the work of such cult luminaries as George Romero, Ted V Mikels, Jackie Chan, Stuart Gordon and many more. Every one of the episodes is a joy to watch whether you are familiar with the artist or not. The show served as a platform for these men and woman to receive the credit they so obviously deserve and as a great way for ravenous cinephiles to learn a little something more about the filmmakers and actors that they loved so much.
