DVD Review: G.I. Joe: The Movie
"Do as you're told like an obedient lackey!"
After the opening credits to G.I. Joe: The Movie, with possibly the most obnoxious earworm of a theme song ever playing in the background, we see a masked woman appear from the water and basically kick ass all the way through Serpentor’s army until she’s face-to-face with the serpent master himself. Who is this woman and what does she want from Cobra?
Jeph Loeb Named Head of Marvel Television
Jeph Loeb has officially been named the Head of Marvel Television. Marvel Studios proved themselves in the theaters with the release of their first project independent of other film studios, Iron Man. Now, they're setting their sites on television and hired the best man for the job. No stranger to comics or TV, Jeph Loeb could potentially bring Iron Man-caliber projects to the small screen. He has already proved himself as a producer/writer on both Lost and Heroes (don't worry, he had enough sense to get himself fired after the second season) and has already hinted at live-action Marvel superhero shows in development.
CC2010: CHUCK PANEL (SPOILER ALERT)
The lights dim inside of Ballroom 20 on Saturday morning. The atmosphere inside was charged with anticipation. The crowd went wild as images of Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi) and the rest of the team Chuck filled the giant screen. They…

CC2010: Nathan Fillion’s Surprise Visit
The second day of Comic-Con officially went by without a moment to waste. People were streaming in like crazy, lines going all the way down the trolley station. The Dealer floor was packed with famous people and big Smurfs walking down the hall. The day didn't get exciting until I accidentally bumped into Nathan Fillion as he was fleeing the Browncoats booth. He was quickly trying to sign everyone's things as he was trying to leave and was trying to make sure everyone who'd bought one of the Serenity comics to benefit the Kids Need to Read organization got theirs signed. I found out later that he had come unannounced and no one knew where he was going or when he was going to be back. It was nice to see an actor from a great television show come down without telling anyone.
CC2010: GOW Ghost of Sparta will kick your ass!
At the God of War panel today, Sony and Ready at Dawn Studios showed off some amazing new footage of the upcoming PSP exclusive God of War: Ghost of Sparta. Taking place in between the events of the first and second game, the team promises more of the classic GOW gameplay we love along with more of Kratos back story. The team showed off two separate demos of Gameplay footage with the first taking place at the beginning of the game and the second taking place further along in the game.

CC2010: Stargate and Caprica Panels (SPOILERS)
Stargate Universe and Caprica returned to Comic-Con this year and made a big impact on Ballroom 20. Before we get to some of our exclusive interviews with the cast from these hit shows, we wanted to share some quick highlights from the panels:
SPOILER ALERT!!!
CC2010: Twisted Metal is back!
Today the Twisted Metal panel offered a glimpse of what when the series gets a reboot next year. For starters, David Jaffe, the founder of developer Eat Sleep Play revealed to the crowd that they would be using live actors for the cut scenes and story-telling elements within the game. This time, they are primarily focusing on three main characters for the campaign – Sweet Tooth, Dollface, and Mr. Grimm – with three separate endings for each character. The Preacher would also be involved in the story, but may not be a playable character at the start of the game.
The footage of the live action portions here is extremely rough and taken with a small digital camera.
CC2010: Vampire Weekend should’ve named themselves Vampire Groupies.
I reported yesterday that I would attempt the train today. I did, and it was way cheaper, and easier, than any parking shenanigans that I’ve ever previously encountered at Con. It's just too bad that it doesn't run all night; no one would need Designated Drivers if it did.
CC2010: Thursday- Adventures on the Con Floor
Although there was so much I wanted to get done on Thursday, a string of events made it near impossible to get to the convention center before 2:00pm. However, what I did manage to get through was definitely exciting! No panels got seen, but a thorough walkthrough of about half the convention center got done.
CC2010: Partying with Jill Thompson
What a find for us lucky ComicsOnline personnel! On the way back from Comic-Con, we came across a party being hosted by the kind and gracious Threadless clothing company. Nomad spotted Jill Thompson, the writer and illustrator of Little Endless Storybook. We all danced with her to a combination of modern and 80's dance music. It was nice to know that Jill was able to let loose and enjoy herself.
