The Strain: Eph Goodweather

Ephraim Goodweather, protagonist of the vampire apocalypse television series, The Strain, seems more lifeless and cold than the terrifying enemies, he is up against.  The show's characters just don't reflect anything positive or endearing for fans to enjoy or cheer on.

Daredevil: Rosario Dawson

While it's quite early to speculate on which character actress Rosario Dawson will play on Netflix's Daredevil series, it seems obvious as to which one she should be cast as.

Comics: Examining Their Digital Counterparts

For those who haven't tried out the digital format when it comes to reading comics, you are truly missing out. The new medium certainly has benefits as it relates to ease of use and space-saving concerns. 

Justice League Issue 12: Superman and Wonder Woman

With the New 52 reboot of the DC Universe, certain aspects of our beloved characters, were eliminated. We saw The Flash and Iris Allen being separated and unaware of their past relationship as was the case with Superman and Lois Lane also. Now with Entertainment Weekly's cover reveal for Justice League issue 12, we know who the special lady in Superman's life will be.

While the impending romance between Superman and Wonder Woman has always been hinted at in previous eras, such as when John Byrne and George Perez tackled the situation, it's never been completely consummated. Until now perhaps. I commend DC Comics for going in this bold direction but it doesn't feel the same without Lois being the one true love for the Man of Steel. Maybe this is DC's way of breaking from the past or perhaps another gimmick that will be forgotten. Time and the readership will ultimately decide.

New 52 New Gods

I'm disappointed.

Writer Brian Azzarello has followed up on speculation about a New Gods series by stating that he only intends Orion for now and that he doesn't "want to tease too much other than saying that I think Orion and Wonder Woman interacting together is going to be something that people enjoy". The teaser at the end of Wonder Woman issue 12 which depicted a shadowy figure resembling Orion certainly got me emotional about another revival of Kirby's beloved Fourth World characters.

My only experience with these characters was through the addition of Mr. Miracle and Big Barda in the classic Justice League series in the late 80s. I was also fortunate to own the Hunger Dogs graphic novel which was Kirby's swan song on his beloved creation.

Given their New 52 appearances, I think it's time we saw the return of the rest of the New Gods, besides Darkseid and Steppenwolf. Obviously the events of Final Crisis, are no longer canon so it's time to introduce a new audience to these classic and timeless characters. The fanboy in me can't wait to see artist Cliff Chiang's interpretations of Orion, with a possible appearance by Highfather as well!
