If you’ve been into the store lately, maybe you’ve noticed our new “All Ages” comics section. In addition to that, Tracy (mom, teacher, and avid comic reader), Sarah (third-grader, age 8 ) and Shelby (fifth-grader, age 11) Edmunds have graciously given us permission to post some of their all ages comics columns here! Our plan is to post one review a week, so check back soon for more!

Here’s what’s coming to a theatre near you.. 

Iron Man (Post-production, May 2008)

Notes: Everything shown looks great, totally trustworthy talent involved.

The Hulk (Filming, June 2008)

Notes: Great talent, should be far better than the first.

Batman: The Dark Knight (Filming, July 2008)

Notes: More great talent, should be stellar like the first movie.

Hellboy 2 (Filming, July 2008)

Notes: First was fun, second probably is too.

Punisher 2 (Pre-production, 2008)

Notes: Good talent involved, should be improvement over tepid first movie.

Watchmen (Pre-production, March 2009)

Notes: Great director, unknown cast, difficult work to adapt, fingers crossed.

Superman: Man of Steel (Script in development, target date summer 2009)

Notes: Please, drop the Superboy idea. I still trust Singer, though.

The Spirit (Pre-production, 2009)

Notes: It’s Frank Miller, of course it’s going to be good.

Wolverine (Pre-production, 2009)

Notes: Origin story, good premise, would be really hard to mess up.

Sin City 2 (Pre-production, studio hold-ups)

Notes: Weinsteins are holding up this sure-fire hit for unknown reasons.

Thor (Director set and lead approached)

Notes: Great director named gives confidence for a good one.

Captain America (Script in development)

Notes: Origin story isn’t really that interesting, fingers crossed.

Ant-Man (Script in development)

Notes: Does anyone care about this movie at all?

Justice League of America (Script in development)

Notes: Solid director, great property, Jon Stewart ices the cake.

Magneto (Script in development)

Notes: Better hurry, the lead is old!

Sub-Mariner (Script in development)

Notes: Lack of recent announcements could be bad

Silver Surfer (Script in development)

Notes: Did the crushing bad reviews of FF2 dampen this project?

The Avengers (Script in development)

Notes: A no-brainer, this one will surely happen eventually.

Teen Titans (Script in development)

Notes: Project has perfect demographics studio looks for, this is a lock.

Green Hornet (Script writer set)

Notes: The involvement of Seth Rogan makes this worth keeping track of.

Spider-Man 4 (Looking for writer)

Notes: Meetings have been held, could be new talent though.

Dr. Strange (Recently rumored for announcement)

Notes: Really hoping this is true. Dr. Strange is awesome.

 

Not likely anytime soon (if at all):

Deathlok (Script in limbo?)

Notes: Probably (luckily) won’t happen… Robocop is so 1980s.

Iron Fist (Script in limbo?)

Notes: Who cares, Iron Fist sucks.

Black Panther (Offered to Singleton)

Notes: Could be marginally interesting if it actually happens.

Luke Cage (Offered to Singleton)

Notes: Who cares, Luke Cage sucks.

Daredevil 2 (License currently unavailable to Marvel)

Notes: Affleck wouldn’t be involved, so it could be good?

Flash (Development limbo)

Notes: The Flash is really not that exciting on screen. Hence, it’s in limbo.

Hawkeye (No announcements in 2 years)

Notes: Don’t hold your breath.

Power Pack (No announcements in 2 years)

Notes: Again, don’t hold your breath.

There is a magic to life in LA. There are forces unknown, paved over by urban traffic jams, and obscured by smog. But you know its there, Giant robots, Goblins, and Unicorns! Mythological creatures are real and threaded in the very fabric our daily lives.

The team at LA Myth has secretly drawn together twenty three of the top visual artists from around the globe to illuminate the layers of this shrouded world in a gallery presentation at Meltdown. We feel we speak to trusted associates and thus reveal the participants to you in confidence.
