The two Geoff Johns-written or -cowritten series that launched this week, Brightest Day and The Flash, both feature one of Johns’ signature tricks. A few pages before the end of Johns, Peter J. Tomasi and Fernando Pasarin’s Brightest Day #0, the story’s narrator is suddenly surrounded by visions of the future: ten panels, each drawn by a …

Panel of the Week 4/14/10
It’s that time true believers. The afterglow of Wednesday is fading and we’re all left with a sordid pile of geekery to be filed meticulously in long boxes or simply thrown on the ‘pile’. But before that, here is your Panel of the Week for just one last look into the wonderful and the strange.

The Five Things You Need to Know Before Seeing Kick-Ass
Only a couple days left, until Kick-Ass mania finally descends on unsuspecting movie fans. We’ve written plenty about the film – from our interview with Mark Millar himself to our spoiler-free review around the time of the film’s world premiere at South By Southwest – and we have interviews with the cast going up this week as …
Two Minute Video: Sexy iPad Or Cute Netbook? The Debate In Dating Terms
Now that the initial iPad hysteria has subsided somewhat, you, the level-headed, analytical consumer that you are, may wonder whether you should buy an iPad or spend that money on a nice netbook. The technical debate has been ongoing for quite some time—netbooks are cheaper and more powerful, while the iPad is lighter and more fun with …
Kick-Ass: The Red Mist Interview, In Which An Evil McLovin Salivates Over Kick-Ass 2
From the very beginning, Kick-Ass has thrown me for a loop. There was that original red band trailer, with the potty-mouthed little girl and some wicked gunplay.

Well last …

Star Wars Uncut: A New Hope Trailer
What a strange amalgamation of over 400 15-second user generated clips. I’m sort of speechless.

Find the rest of the Uncut shenanigans over at Star Wars Uncut.
ABC’s V: John May Lives … Not!
Oh god V, what happened?
I left last week’s episode thinking you’d finally started to get good. Turns out, you’re just another alien tease in a mediocre sci-fi suit.
Last night’s V had the makings for the start of a full on bad-ass rise of the resistance, but instead we’re still watching the same band of plucky misfits – just …
Exclusive: One-Sheet For Technotise
My obsession with Aleksa Gajić and Darko Grkinić’s Technotise knows no bounds. I’ve gone as far as asking what few Serbian friends I have to ask their friends and relatives in the homeland to get their mitts on this comic and/or anime for me. It hasn’t quite panned out yet, but I’m still hopeful.
