New Star Trek trailer

As fans we sometimes cultivate a cynical attitude towards anything that deviates from our perfect idea of whatever our fanaticism is focused upon. Well, I was a trekkie before I was a comicbook fan and the offical version of trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek movie is up on the net. I was fully prepared for something that was going to engage my cynicism, but that trailer actually gave me goose bumps. If they pull this off its going to be amazing.

10 Great/Odd JLA Variants

I’ve been collecting a growing list of odd takes on the Justice League for a while now. Each time I see a new one I think “I must do a post on that,” but invariably I get side tracked by something else. So I thought I’d pull together ten of the best and weirdest for a quick run down. One or two I’ve posted about before, but most are new (to this blog at least). In no order:

DC Direct Photography

There is a strong and surprisingly large community on flickr devoted to artistic photographs of Justice League action figures. There are taken with all the care and artistic license that one might expect from a professional comisssion or an actual comicbook panel. Dreamonix seems to be one of the best at this – that’s his JLA above and its also available as a print.

Justice League 2009 Calendar

I can live without most licensed calendars, but next year’s Justice League Calendar looks fantastic.

Captain Combined

I may be from the same part of the world and I may use the title Captain for this website, but even I think this stunt is a little bit of a stretch. A local (from my point of view) news story has reported that 19-year old George Garratt has legally changed his name to “Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine The Hulk And The Flash Combined.” However, these are not the names most people think of when told of the newly named Captain Combined.

Synopsis

Previously in Part One: The Manhunters, a force of android soldiers, arrive on Earth and demand that Green Lantern John Stewart surrender himself to them. The Justice League are astonished when Stewart willing teleports away with the Manhunters before giving his friends an explanation. The Manhunters take Stewart to a vast stadium-like court on Ajuris 5 where he is charged with destroying the world of Ajuris 4 (albeit accidentally). His friends in the League know none of this and follow Stewart and the Manhunters to Ajuris 5. They arrive just in time to see space pirate Kanjar-Ro’s damning testimony against Stewart. He then stuns his team-mates by admitting that he really is guilty of Ajuris 4′s destruction.
