Planet Hulk

Easily the part of Marvel’s upcoming Secret Wars I’m most looking forward to:

Steve Rogers (aka Captain America) and Devil Dinosaur (a super-strong, sentient, red T-Rex) as gladiators taking on all-comers in Greenland, so-called for its inhabitants (you won’t like them when they’re angry).

Ballad of Serenity

Holy crap The Flash is amazing. I just watched the latest episode (in the UK) where we got some big reveals and it was awesome. So awesome. I really like Arrow, a lot, but The Flash is just so much fun!

If you’re thinking, “I don’t care about Dan wittering on about more superhero crap, what’s with the title?” Jesse Watkins, Rick Cosnett and Carlos Valdes (who are all in The Flash*) recorded an a cappella cover of the Serenity theme song as a thank you to Joss Whedon for backing their Kickstarter and it is beautiful:

The Kickstarter is for a short film:

A mother hides her family from slavery in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The children have grown up with a tale of a man known as The Letter Carrier. As the legend goes, he roams the mountains looking for children to sell as slaves. Painted against this historical backdrop, it is a raw, mysterious, and interpretive fable. Told through a cappella song, using original folk music, spirituals and a score using only natural sounds.

This all only makes me love The Flash even more.

* Playing respectively: Joe, The Flash’s surrogate father, Eddie, Joe’s partner in the police department, and Cisco, badass scientist on The Flash’s support team

One of the jokes I really like is that the fantasies are drawn more realistically than reality, since that says a lot about what’s going on in Calvin’s head.
