The interest and demand for superhero stories in movies and TV is only increasing.  As I write this, the show No Ordinary Family is on ABC which is about a family of superheroes, Stan Lee is putting together a super-web series that they plan to bring to TV, and people are buzzing in anticipation about the Green Lantern, Thor, and Avengers movies.  Not to mention, the recent Spider-man, Brave and the Bold, Iron Man, Avengers, and Marvel Superheroes cartoons. Superheroes are all the rage.

Come to this special one-day Meltdown University workshop, Screenwriting and Superheroes, and learn how to write your own original script with super people, or know what to do when you get that job writing for an existing character.  For budding scriptwriters and pros alike!

This workshop is being taught by Jim Higgins, formerly of DC Comics editorial, who has 17 years in the comic book business and years of teaching experience at places like CalArts, Otis College of Art and Design, and The School of Visual Arts Cartooning program.

The cast returns to its roots as the original three discuss the upcoming Thor movie, IRON MAN #26, WALKING DEAD, GIRL COMICS, THE EXECUTOR from Vertigo Crime, WEATHERCRAFT and the FRANK series, CITY OF SPIES & THE RESISTANCE from First Second, PARKER: THE HUNTER, PROOF from Image Comics; we fit in the requisite weekly Millar bash from Chris as we discuss ULTIMATE AVENGERS 2…and its Avengers day proper as we discuss the first slew of Heroic Age tie-ins and compare and contrast with Brightest Day.
And in other news Chris has bought a green speedo. It may or may not have scales.

 
 

The Siege lifts as we step through the rubble and examine the final chapter of Marvel’s last gigantic event ever…for a while anyways. We also touch on the Avengers titles, the Sentry, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: SHED, DV8, THE RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE, and the function of death in superhero comics. Carl Jones of FREAKNIK THE MUSICAL, the BOONDOCKS TV show (and Meltcast’s own logo!) fame surprises us with a visit and gives us a look into his process. And in our closing segment we discuss this week’s big movie at the box office – Tony Stark is back in IRON MAN 2, and the demon’s out of the bottle as our opinions runneth over!
