From Hell coming to FX One of the great Alan Moore works, From Hell, based on the Jack the Ripper murders is being adapted for a TV series by FX. From Hell was a great read so let's hope the network does it justice. No word yet on when the series is supposed to start or how ,any episodes it will be. It will be interesting to see who is cast for the series. If you guys haven't read From Hell go check it out and let me know what you think!

Spider-Man and Fantstic Four.... Sony what are you thinking...? So lets start with Spiderman. The latest rumor is Sony is developing a Spiderman movie, without Spiderman and will star a young Aunt May. And the plot sounded so stupid I wont even explain it. And now to the even worse Fantastic Four Movie, apparently it's supposed to be realistic, which makes no sense because this is a comic book movie, and the worst part of all, the Doctor Doom character will not be Victor Von Doom, he will be called something else, he will not be the ruler of Latvaria, but a blogger and his internet name will be Doom. This movie is doomed. Could it get any worse than that? I don't think so.

Harley Quinn cast in Suicide Squad movie?!?! Harley has been the center of speculation for quite some time now, and it looks like we may finally get to see her on the big screen. It is being reported that Margot Robbie has been cast to play Harley in the Suicide Squad movie. I have to be honest I did not know who she was, I guess she had her breakout role in Wolf of Wallstreet, which I didn't see. But with people posting pics of her on Twitter I think she has to look to pull off Harley Quinn. And this is being reported by a few different sources so I'm hoping it's true. Geoff Johns also just put out a series of tweets, he posted the names and pictures of various villains, one of them being Harley, so what does this mean? Are these villains going to be in upcoming DC movies? Or was he just posting these names for the heck of it? Only he knows I guess.

The Joker in the Suicide Squad movie? Today's rumor is that the Joker will be in the Sucicde Squad movie. Jared Leto's name has been thrown out there but of course this is just a rumor. How would they use the Joker in the movie? Obviously he couldn't be a team member, he doesn't play well with others. So could he be the villain in the movie, maybe just make a cameo, we don't know any other details yet and like I said it's just a rumor. As always I'll keep you guys posted with any further news!

Rhode Island comic con 2014. So this year was the first year I went to Rhode Island comic con. It was pretty fun. Although I owe a huge thank you to a friend of mine who's a dealer and got me a pass today so I didn't need to wait in line. I did hear a lot of complaints from people as far as how the con was run. It was very disorganized and didn't run smoothly. People had to wait in line for a very long time. I heard that they even had to many people in the building at one point and the fire marshal said no more people could go in. So people had to wait even longer outside before they were let in. And the set up of the show was not that great. It had an inefficient floor plan that caused a lot of traffic and it took a while to get around. But personally I had a great time. I bought quite a few key issues and some very nice books. I finally broke down and got myself a Batman Aventures number 12, which is the first appearance of Harley Quinn. I got to see a lot of people ...
