Black Lantern: He Couldn't Find a Shovel

It's almost an inevitability at this point, isn't it?

If Pa doesn't come back with some kind of Kryptonite powered shovel so that he can beat the crap out of the darn kids on his lawn, there ain't no justice!

Black Lantern: Gun Slinger

I want this to happen just because I'd pay good money to see a Lantern-powered Jonah Hex dispensing some pain, old-West style, with two guns a-blazing.

Probably spent too much time giggling to myself over this...

New X-Men Origins: Wolverine Pics Online

If you squint you can see that Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Liev Schreiber's Sabretooth are leading the way in what looks like the Normandy landings in this pic - and you can see more pics over at Superherohype. 

The more I see of this movie - and that includes the pic of Taylor Kitsch's Gambit that hit online yesterday which some people are inexplicably up in arms about - the more optimistic I am. I know that Jackman can't open a movie (see: Australia) but between the X-Men movies and the underrated The Prestige, he's one of my favorite actors these days.

Add the amazing Liev Schreiber and a supporting cast made up of Ryan Reynolds (still waiting for that Nightstalkers movie...), Dominic Monaghan (oh Charlie) and Taylor Kitsch, who does excellent work in the also-underrated Friday Night Lights and you've got a solid cast.

I'm looking forward to it.

The Pull List - December 4th 2008

A day later because of the holiday and a surprisingly light week in spite of Secret Invasion finishing -

Batman #682 - Now what?

Justice Society of America #21 - The Gog thing finally starts to come to a close after three pointless specials.

Superman/ Supergirl: Maelstrom #3 (of 5) - I should probably pick up the previous issue before this one...

Terra #3 (of 4) - Ditto.

Trinity #27 - Still good, still not amazing.

Amazing Spider-Man #579 - Mark Waid's run continues and it's all good. The Shocker's never been this deadly before.

Cable #9 - Bug aliens vs Farmer Cable!

Marvels Eye Of Camera #1 - Highly anticipated sequel. Not sure that I'm going to pick this up or wait for a hardcover to sit next to my Marvels one...

New Avengers #47 - A Luke Cage spotlight issue, with a great WCA Skrull homage cover - hopefully the last we'll see for a while!

Secret Invasion #8 - It ends here. Remember what I said about Wasp and Hank Pym? Standing by it!

X-Infernus #1 - Magik!

X-Men Manifest Destiny #4 - The back ups in this are much more fun than the Iceman/Mystique lead, which I have to admit I'm disappointed in. It's a shame, because Bobby has always been a favorite of mine and I was hoping Carey could finally establish a personality and power set for him that people stick to.
