NBC Drops Wonder Woman
I have two words to say about this... Thank! God!
This show looked terrible and as much as I'm neutral on the character, this was not going to do her any justice whatsoever!
What the F*&K is up with that?!

Comic Reviews
Moon Knight #1
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: Alex Maleev
Publisher: Marvel
Boy oh boy, am I ever glad this guy is back. It wasn’t so long ago when Moon Knight was one of the lesser known heroes/anti-heroes in the Marvel U, but lately he’s been in the limelight. After faking the death of one of his personalities, he returned to America to take his war to the streets against Norman Osborn. Now this happened to be a joyful moment for me, as Green Goblin/Norman Osborn is one of my all time favourite villains, and I got a real soft spot for those that attempt/succeed in taking him down. One of the best moments was when Sentry assured Moon Knight he would slip up, to which Spector replied ‘So will you.’ And who was right there? Siege anyone? But back to the review.
Marc Spector is living in L.A, and is enjoying the premiere of a recent action television series that appears to be in his honour. He’s hamming it up like a certain billionaire playboy (that he is too often compared with, somewhat justly, but mostly unfairly) when Cap, Wolverine and Spidey show up on his doorstep. Trouble is brewing and they want Moon Knight back. Done! Simple as that, Spector is willing to hop back into action. It didn’t take much prying, but that could have to do with the last few panels of the comic, which I won’t spoil for you.
The storyline for this arc begins well. There’s some goods being exchanged (interesting goods at that), powered thugs involved, and a bit of noir detective work done by the part of Spector. Maleev’s art is great for this type of street-level-crime comic. It has the grit of Daredevil with the violence of Punisher (though not quite, cause Spector doesn’t kill anymore).
Issue 1 was great. I’m very excited, especially for two reasons: a) Who’s behind the goods shipment (when you see the goods, you’ll see why this is intriguing), and b) Are the Avengers helping Spector at all? Read the comic and zone in on the last few panels to see what I mean. If the other two ‘Big Shots’ re-launch as well as this, we’re in for three great new titles.
Pros:
-Great opening story so far
-Adds a bit of a ‘Daredevil noir feel’ to Spector’s insanity and violence
Cons:
-Gotta wait a month to see what’s really going on in Moon Knight’s head

Ultimate Re-Launch
Marvel made it official today with the last piece of their Ultimate line relaunch being put into place. Ultimate Spiderman, the flagship title of the Ultimate U for the past decade will officially relaunch with a number 1 issue after that somewhat aborted attempt at a rebranding last year ('ultimate comics')
The lineup is going to look like this.
Jonathan Hickman - Ultimates
Nick Spencer - X-Men
Bendis - Spiderman
That's a heavy-hitter lineup right there... and they're all guys who will get the books out on time (i'm looking at you Mr. Loeb). I think I'm down for all these. How about you?
