News from Comic-Con San Diego

Grant Morrison's long-awaited Justice League series was announced, entitled "Justice League Classified" and Morrison will be on the series for at least one arc with "Superman/Batman" artist Ed McGuinness. The series is to be an outlet for more "arc oriented" stories, wherein various writers and artists can tell tales of the JLA in any era of their history. Carlin said it was possible that writer Gail Simone's JLA arc with legend Jose Garcia-Lopez may be folded into that series, as well as the "I Can't Believe It's Not Justice League" mini-series, of which artist Kevin Maguire has completed three issues.

Carlin also confirmed Kurt Busiek, hot off "Avengers/JLA," will be the regular writer on "JLA" for the near future along with artist Ron Garney. Carlin said the next three years of "JLA" are planned, including a fill-in issue by Chuck Austen that may be used if the need is seen. Though Austen may seem vilified on the Internet, he received a loud ovation from the audience and explained that he's enjoyed working on "JLA," so he'd love to work with more DC teams and Carlin said he'd be pleased to work more with Austen. Carlin said he felt experimenting with rotating creative teams on "JLA" was successful and that fans of that format would enjoy "Classified."

Is it just me or is "Justice League Classified" a really horrible name? It sounds like it's a want ads section for superheroes.

Still, Busiek on JLA. Yay!

Vorrrp... vorrrp.... vorrrp....

( Oh, to be in Cardiff now that Doctor Who filming has begun... )

Anyone brave enough to try this?

I have no idea how this will taste, but someone might want to give it a shot. My recipe for a Sonic Screwdriver.

1 1/2 oz vodka
Orange juice
Tonic water
Soda water

Pour vodka and orange juice over ice in a highball glass. Add tonic and soda to taste. Stir well (with tuning fork if possible). Garnish with wedge of lime. Serve.

Just saw the trailer for Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars on Sci-Fi. Coming in October.

Squeal!
